US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

From what I'm being told they can't even get civilian contractors because Uncle Sam won't even pay them people enough to take the contracts. They can't get new base monkeys to work civilian or otherwise. There's just no pay, Not enough to bother with anyways.

The amount is huge. But what they're offering the companies and what trickles down to the people who actually do the work are two different things.

Plus, a LOT of work was 'done' during the GWOT just on paperwork and nobody checked up on it.

Like the Ft Carson issue. The chow hall workers don't want to work weekends, the contracted company doesn't want to pay the workers more money, so they just close the chow halls and put up kiosks, which end up empty.

The solution is fucking obvious.

Bring back or reman the MOSs responsible, open back up the positions for repair and maintenance to troops.

But that will mean increasing the amount of active troops. That plays havoc with their fuck fuck numbers games, where they talk about how they have all these combat arms units but don't mention the logistics units are fucked in the ass.

The Contractor companies got used to the free money hose and don't want to adjust.

You can look at the camp Pendleton job board and see that some of these jobs are starting jobs are like $19 an hour so basically pennies. It also doesn't help that a lot of the old timers are getting phased out and replaced with diversity hires. I agree they need to keep it in house and stop contracting out but you know that ain't happening especially since you can't get anybody to sign up in the first place. The recruitment numbers are in shambles.

15 million? Low energy numbers.
Gimme 60 million or 120 million for that dragon energy.

This is one of the things that shocked me when I joined in 2005. It would stun people how much of the Army is done by third party contractors. Even back then.

Maintenance personnel for Humvees, small motor, helicopter, airframe, etc are heavily supplemented by defense contractors. If you went to any motorpool on Fort Bragg a good portion of the staff were third party defense contractors. All retired army who had the same MOS that the active duty in the shop had. Except when they were in a decade or two prior that MOS actually learned how to do things other than to totally replace all broken parts with entirely new ones. Same goes for even something as mundane as the chow hall where it was again mostly third party contractors.

It was 10x more prevalent in Iraq when the entire airfields were manned by defense contractors who learned to maintain black hawks in the 80s/90s and the new generation was only taught to identify broken components... so they could be replaced by third party contractors. It's insane. All of these people were pulling $200k+ in salary doing this work.

I met a fatass black idiot who had the job of imaging army computers with the standard template. That was his only job. Something you could train any idiot teenager to do in under 30 minutes. He openly bragged about how this was a $300k salary for him in 2007.

As far as the building maintenance you mentioned that's new. It was a duty in the company to maintain the barracks and replace lightbulbs, doorknobs, fix stuff around the building. Even had a small maintenance office with tools and things for the position. Wasn't that bad of a job and I remember helping the guy who had the job with it. It was similar to arms rooms duties in terms of tasks for the company IMO.

Some additional reading for those interested. The military is absolutely infested with careerism to an alarming degree and has been for going on 50 years now. As has been said. Many chickens are coming home to roost and this is a significant one. There are many essays about this I just like this particular one as its succinct.

I seriously wonder if Trump can flip New York to red.

Probably not man.

2020 Presidential Election in New York, this at 69.7% turnout.


2022 Gubernatorial Election in New York, this is at 47.7% turnout.


Seems incredibly unlikely, from what I've been hearing on political commentary videos 2024 is speculated to be a low turnout year. The Gubernatorial Election was only two years ago, it was on a midterm cycle ofc, but pres cycles have higher turnout, doubt it'll be as high as 2020. But I think Trump's overall goal is to turn it competitive. I honestly cant see anyone else in the GOP that would be charismatic enough to contest the state after him.

Is it habbening?

Imagine dying for Israel or Palestinians. Glad my 8 years is up. Such a fucking shame. That place should be glassed tbh.

They cannot kill him.

The Marxists are screwed for another cycle and probably forever because the blacks woke up and are walking the fuck off the plantation.

The core of the DNC powerbase is screaming for deportations. They finally might be getting it.

If the blacks are getting what the right was telling them in the 90's the DNC is done. The swamp will be drained by their prized brown people who finally realize the GOP was not their enemy. They might finally realize the call was coming from inside the house.

When you have blacks holding rallies in the streets of the Bronx saying "If you vote for Biden you are a damn fool" you know the DNC game is up. Their recourse is violence and that will end VERY badly for them.

(pew research)
As of April 2024 blacks have roughly 83% of the Dem vote.

The best we can hope for is abysmally low black turnout, they are retarded and will continually keep voting democrat until they are taxed 50% and given a paltry sum to live on and still wonder why they can't get ahead in life.

The Hispanic vote and white vote are the key to GOPs success. Latinos are a growing demographic that have seen a spike in GOP support. The GOP needs to spam ads in Spanish like the florida GOP did.

White support for the GOP is slowly dropping. That's the bulk of the GOP support. The need to figure out how to appeal to zoomers and they need to do it fast.

Please remember on this hallowed Memorial Day weekend the reasons why so many soldiers sacrificed their lives . Never forget!

[Ukraine is Big Gay]

Hopefully that long rambling overly detailed power-level screed answered your questions.

Not even being a smartass I'd read a goddamn memoir book if you ever assembled one.

 

[BobbyBriggs69420]

I wonder how many white people were voting dem only because it's racist not to?

They're out there, and them seeing the sight of bruvas for trump is gonna get at least one to change which box he checks in Nov.

Elbow patch type lib faggots "I'll vote in the interests of minorities because they're too dumb to do so" will ofc still go joepedo. The more humble who (possibly) do see blacks as somewhat equal and to be worshipped at all times might have some very confused thoughts.

 

[Kane Lives]

It's the whole "reduce the maximum number of Active Duty during the GWOT to make the budget look good" effect coming home to roost.

Maybe I'm just being naive here, but why do this? Isn't maintaining the morale and health of the men in the army just as important?

 

[TJT]

Military drawdown of troop numbers has been a political goal for decades. I don't truly understand it but the fuck fuck games all revolve around the following concept.

If you reduce a battalion from 1000 men to 500 men but then hire 500 third party contractors that technically don't count its a "massive win." Even if the 500 third party contractors all have exorbitant six figure salaries and fulfill jobs that were previously done by the 500 lower enlisted (that get paid ~$40k a year maybe) you got rid of.

Its about transferring wealth from the lower castes to their self-appointed masters.

 

[Geddy Lee's Fee and See]

I'm still hung up on that Skibidi Biden thing. It really nails home that we are in the humiliation ritual era of propaganda.

That was the most demented thing I've seen in regards to Biden, which is amazing when you think about it.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

One thing you learn really quickly: The politicians don't see you as human, only a source of reelection and kickbacks. Civilians don't really care and a lot of civilians hate your fucking guts.

They draw down the numbers, because troop levels aren't as sexy as new fighter planes and new aircraft carriers, so it's a way to cut corners. Even better if can do what the above poster said and hand those jobs off to your friends.

Cheney made fucking bank. Obama handed off care of the barracks and the on-post housing as well as the dining facilities and the on-post schools to the corporations of friends.

The big thing is, the press hates the military too, and will lie and deceive in order to make them look bad all for ratings.

"The government calls it 'The Army' but we have a more alarmist name for it: The Kill-bot Factory!" is probably one of the most true things the Simpsons put out there.

The Republicans look at the military as a source of money for them and their friends.

The Dems look at the military as a place they can practice their social engineering AND a source of money for them and their friends.

 

[The Ugly One]

I just toured a WW2 battleship. Nothing really drove home the scale of the ship like the kitchen did (380 gallons of coffee every morning). Somehow, America had the best-fed servicemen in the largest war ever fought. Somehow, they managed it without civilian contractors. But that was back when the goal was to win rather than play shell games with the budget.

At one point a Japanese General (or was it Admiral) got so completely demoralized he almost quit on the spot when he saw that the Americans straight up had a Ice Cream Barge (a million dollar piece of floating concrete and fridge technology) who's whole job was a sail around the pacific and make ice cream for the boys. The US Army built three of them!

 

[Verdun_Salient]

So, is it even possible to fix the military?

 

[tehpope]

Bitch look in the mirror.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

So, is it even possible to fix the military?

Yes, but much like the massive overhaul that was posted about earlier, its a decades long affair, ripping shit apart and rebuilding from the ground up. And much like back then, it'll take a military disaster for people to pull their heads out of their asses about it. Ukraine wasn't enough, people can chug copium and say its just purely incompetent and corrupt Ukrainian forces. It'll need to be US boots themselves absolutely shitting the bed to make the realization sink in.

So really, the question is less "can you fix it" and more "will you have enough time to fix it before its too late".

 

[Quence]

Deport all of them. If you need people to pick crops, mechanize the farms or set up a bracero program but the filthy spiclets DO NOT get US citizenship if they’re born in America.

And let’s start booting out about 80% of the immigrants who were gifted legal status. There are close to 80 MILLION people squatting in the US who were not born there. It’s insanity and the country is being given away.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Bitch look in the mirror.

I am getting really fucking tired of hearing about how great a job Biden is doing for all Americans.

Deport until the 20-30 million becomes 0. People will bitch about the cost and how cruel it is but the upfront cost of removing this fucking plague will more that be paid for in our medical system immediately being less stressed and crime dropping. Also if the cartels do not like it execute them on the fucking street.
