Over 5000 people. The overwhelming majority are aged 18-25. And a very large percentage of those are on their first deployment, not qualified to do anything except clean things, paint things, or serve food.

Many people lose their shite on every single deployment when they realize they aren't cut out for navy life. Then they write home sobbing. Now, throw in Trump hating, Karen type parents and suddenly we have a "National issue".

A lot of issues they're having deal with supply ships reaching them. I do not claim to know why only the Lincoln seems to have this issue. Possibly because it's nowhere near the "issue" it's being made out to be?

All that said, neither I, nor anyone else in this thread truly knows what's going on on that ship unless you have family on it who you've heard from recently.

The so called "rules of war" only exist at the pleasure of the strongest country.

There is merit to both arguments here. It's logical to believe we should live up to our own rules. There's also logic in saying that if your own rules are hampering you due to the opponent not playing by them, then maybe you should change your rules.

Maybe it's just me, but I do not believe this will be happening to the people that voted for him.

If in America the socialists try to completely change our form of representative governance, or subjugate the right to political persecution, we can fight.

Yeah? Who will you fight against? And who do you suppose will join your efforts? We already have half the population who doesn't pay taxes. You think those who are receiving the "free" govt services will join you? I mean, shite, I'm going to retire pretty well off with or without social security. And I'd be reluctant to join you if you were fighting only to get rid of that. Most people would happily join in to fight AGAINST you on that issue alone. Government programs NEVER go away. By the time things got so bad that a majority were willing to fight socialism, it would be impossible to even attempt overthrow.

You make it sound as though somehow those who are against being invaded are the real problem. Are you European?

Being invaded also doesn't seem to bother you much.

Speaking of superior parties... you know what's a superior party than anything that has to do with Muslims invading? The democrats of ten years ago are superior by an incredibly large margin. Democrats of 20 years ago are superior by so much it's hardly measurable...because the democrat party has changed that much. Toothpaste has already been spilled. It ain't going back in the tube. Best we can do is stop spilling more and let what's spilled dry up.

Why does this dumb shite keep coming up?

---

Well, it comes up because there are elected officials, and some who are trying to get elected who are in favor of it.

IMO, it KEEPS coming up, because those democrats who consider themselves "normal" refuse to clean up their own house and allow the message to fester. Likely, because they'll accept anyone and everyone under their tent, as long as they oppose Trump. They fail to realize that at some point they will be beholden to these freaks and owe them favors.

We've all heard several democrat elected officials and some trying to get elected advocate for abolishing the Senate.

What is the basis for this?

And how do they plan to do this? Some magical decree? What senator will vote himself out of a job? If we could clone KBJ eight times and put all 9 of them on the SCOTUS, how does even THAT type of court determine that this is constitutional?

You can consider Finland a failed state, I don't know. When I was there , it was a heck of a lot better run than Louisiana, for sure.

They have a small, homogenous population along with no real defense budget.

How is the state going to provide enough water without draining aquifers depleting water needed for homes, farming, etc?

How many more surcharges can Entergy add to our electric bills, on top of the already hurricane charges.
?

Data centers should prove they can provide their own power and water, without the costs being passed on to louisiana citizens.

---

What makes you so certain the state will be "providing water" to them? What is your definition of "providing water"? If a data center takes river water onto its facility for a once-through cooling system, then puts it back in the river, is that considered "providing water" to you? Or do you think they will simply take and consume millions of gallons per day, and we never see it again?

"A couple decades ago some old socialist guy from Vermont was elected to the US senate as a Democrat. I didn’t say anything because he was only one, of a hundred, and I’m not even from Vermont. Plus, it was fun to correct those stupid conservatives who kept calling him a communist. I never acknowledge that the guys a socialist, I simply correct people for calling him a communist. Also, I kinda don’t mind him being a socialist, as long as he always votes against those darn conservatives. Those idiots actually thought we’d become a communist country.

Over the last decade, a handful of districts elected open socialists to the US Hoise of Representatives as democrats. I didn’t say anything because they were only a few of over four hundred, and I’m not even from those districts. Plus, it was more fun to correct those stupid conservatives who kept calling them communists. I never admit that those people are socialists, I simply correct people for calling them communists. Also, I kinda don’t mind them being socialists, as long as they always vote against those darn conservatives. Those idiots still think we’re becoming a communist country.

More recently, a few major American cities elected open socialists posing as democrats to the office of mayor. I didn’t say anything because it’s only a few cities, and I don’t even live in any of them. Plus, it was always more fun to correct those stupid conservatives who kept calling them communists. I never admit that those people are socialists, I simply correct people for calling them communists. Also, I kinda don’t mind them being socialists, as long as they always vote against those darn conservatives. I can’t believe those idiots still think we’re becoming a communist country.

You see, other than getting myself off by correcting you on the definition of communism, what this is really about is democrats getting control back. I mean, that's just politics.

And sure, once we get that control back, we will be beholden to our new non-communist friends. There will be too many of them to ignore. We'll owe them some favors. We will help them push for some minor changes, but by and large we will still be the same ole democrats.

We will want to abolish the senate. We will want to abolish prisons and police. We'll want to strip funding to the pentagon. We'll want most major corporations to be run by the govt. Universal Basic Income will be on our radar. And We think we should probably pack the SCOTUS.

This stuff probably won't even be that bad. You'll hardly notice. Besides, it can't possibly be any worse than what Trump is doing to this country. So lighten up, Francis. We aren't going communist! Only a very small step in the direction of socialism. And that's way different. And way better!"

Only logical answer (not that I agree) is they think the person deserves more due process.
