Vivek and Vance, unless Trump 2024-2028 totally shits the bed, they're gotta be the 2 going in next. There's also Tulsi and others too.

The democrats now? LOL wtf, done.
Their biggest name is Newsom. Who is hated by a good part of Californians and has SO MUCH woke shit on his resume.

There’s a chance they could sober up before 2028 and realize Kamala really was terrible, but hopefully not :)
 
Jury's still out on whether they realize this or not, but I'm guessing their ideological possession will just push them to double down in the future.
Roe set fetal viability at 28 weeks, Planned Parenthood v Casey reduced it to 23 weeks. Anything short of that 23 week mark is considered a loss for those types, not a compromise. This leaves out the fact that the most ardent types amongst them want abortion legal no matter the stage of pregnancy. They'll double down, and continue to lose as the window for abortion is reduced more and more as each future generation gets more pro-life.

Conservatives don't "conserve" anything Exhibit Z.
Donald Trump isn't a conservative. He's a 90s democrat, and so are a large chunk of the people who voted for him. Unfortunately you, and I, are going to have to wait for the culture to shift right via births, and media to get back to conservatives who actually conserve.
 
No, you absolutely cannot unless you’re conflating small quadcopter drones (what everyone is referring to when they’re talking about drones changing warfare) with plane-sized UAVs.
'Drone' doesn't imply rotary or jet propulsion. Its the object in question being unmanned and controlled remotely/autonomously. You can have a drone that's tracked and travels on the ground.
Drones change warfare at all levels from the ground to the air to the sea and underneath. Lookout for unmanned submersibles in the near future capable of firing torpedoes which are themselves also drones:

The fact that we dont already have an F35 drone has nothing to do with the technical limitations of drone technology and has everything to do with the decrepit decision makers of our country seeing too many terminator movies.

So an AWACS platform with an onboard drone complement?
I think there would be a combination of AWACS tasking the drones from afar in some circumstances and manned command fighters in others. If you're sending the drones in to do SEAD missions you might want to have them commanded by an AWACS well away from the danger and for air combat or less contested strike missions the manned combat command aircraft could use the drones as an extension of their payload capacity and sensors. This is just my armchair take on the matter.
 
The latest Key Man cope: Trump ran the worst campaign in history, his victory has nothing to do with him.

He's just gonna keep sperging until The World apologizes to him and says actshuallly he was right all along, isn't he?

What a maroon. His best bet would be to shut the fuck up, crawl in a hole for 3.5 years, and come back low key and hope most normies forgot how bad he fucked up.

Shit, even Frank Luntz managed a comeback of sorts, and for what ever reason, some people still listen to Karl Rove after "Is this just math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better?"

He's making it worse. It's over, and he's making it worse.
 
You can make a drone that can do the work of a manned fighterjet
Those essentially already exist over Ukraine right now. They've obsoleted whole modern air forces. I'm not sure how anybody can look at where we were 15 years ago versus today and can't imagine what's to come 15 years from now not seeing this.

Drone technology is not there yet. Right now, having a human in control of a craft is preferential over a craft that is controlled via electronics/satellites because opponents can interfere with this. It is speculated that the Iranians captured that Lockheed Martin RQ-170 drone in 2011 by basically jamming and/or spoofing its control systems.

So you’re conflating things. Your whole post is completely irrelevant.

Well, we don't trust AI or subroutines to make a convincing picture so why would we trust it to fly several thousand miles in an expensive airframe to perform a sensitive and high pressure mission from an airbase or carrier and come back? Drones are amazing things but right now and for the next generation, they're really most useful and best kept to frontline ground combat. There they can take out targets of opportunity under the general aegis of existing combined arms doctrine.
 
Key Man next week "The keys have been telling me that the Earth is really flat"
This Lichtman guy is something else. It would be so easy to recover his grift for the future by just saying he misapplied a few of his keys due to the unique situation this election and with the keys plugged in properly his model would've actually predicted Trump. Voila, scam saved for next time. Instead he's gone into burn it to the ground mode. Baffling.
