Sounds like the reason My brother retired after 20 years in the US Navy w/an E9 rating and gold chevrons and hashmarks(good conduct He said, He never wore them as He just wanted to fit in). Diesel Engines were gone, so He got various stations on shore to fill out His 20yrs, now He lays at rest...

Then We are talking about 2 different subjects, you are talking about service, I am not.

I don't think you understand what swearing an Oath to a POTUS would be, the POTUS is not the US Constitution, saying the 2 are the same is conflation. Swearing an Oath to a POTUS would be an Oath of Fealty or Loyalty, this is not done in the US.

That's Commander in Chief, on Jan 21st 2021 that could change, Nov 3rd 2020 can't get here fast enough. No the military does not swear an oath to a POTUS. Sorry but you don't swear an Oath to a higher Commanding Officer, the US does not do that, one shows respect with a salute and it's returned...

I was in the US Army, I'm speaking from Experience, those in the US Military take an Oath to the US Constitution, not to a POTUS. You are thinking of taking an Oath to a Liter, like Hitler had the German Military do, in the US that is not done.

The US States don't have individual militaries, National Guard troops can be Federalized in a heartbeat.

The US Militaries primary loyalty is to the US Constitution, not to a President.

EU States are Countries with Standing Militaries, States in the US have no standing Militaries and the National Guard does not count since States in the US are not Countries.

Zilch, Nada, Zero, Goose Egg, and Void. ;)

Not everyone is elected, Fireman and Police by your logic should be elected, when in reality they are not elected in the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, or in the EU. I call that BS as a fellow American, though I at least know My ancestry as someone of French, English, and quite possibly Irish...

Awesome work there, I played Dark Forces back in the Day and this is light years better, Kessel Run eat your heart out. It's sad that Disney decided to squash this, yeah the Dark Side got wind of this pdq. Sigh, this would have been an awesome game, Dark Forces always had what Doom never did...

Ok I have a Windows 7 PC that I built and a Win 10 Laptop that I inherited, 7 I know how to do whatever, the laptop so far I've only changed the name of the Laptop, maybe it's all those icons that look like Win 8 holdovers, My cat has more experience with 10, by chewing on the power supply cord...

I sure am glad I stayed with Win 7 Pro x64, all the real bugs are gone and vulnerabilities patched out the wazoo.

FORD will probably deal with this, by doing nothing, just as they've done for years. :(

Well the Republican part is corrupt like Scott Pruitt(Resigned from EPA, His 3 assistants were fired by John Kelly), you and others have a chance to change this paradyne, there is an election on November 6th 2018, VOTE Democratic, it's your decision, do you want to help or just complain and do...

And local problems are Obamas fault? Do you even know what the word Jurisdiction means? The GOP, the one that passed and signed the $1.5 Trillion Dollar tax(scam, swindle) cuts for the Rich and for Corporations? HR-1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, considering how badly the IRS is underfunded, good...

Tesla is installing Superchargers everywhere, and people are installing chargers in their garages too, ones can be bought on Amazon in fact... Yer making a mountain out of a molehill. And I regularly see Teslas drive up and down the fwy too.

What's a matter afraid of getting cooties? I rode buses 50 years ago in LA as a kid, no one bit Me.

NYC is fairly compact, LA County is not, more conflation. The smog is much better now, back in the 1960's it looked like a tan cloud, today it's better, not perfect, but LA is a victim of geology, the air even without humans would not be perfect and the tar pits do contribute to it, but then...

So you'd kick people out of their retirement homes, people who can't work anymore? My dad saw Nazi handiwork in WWII, I'm glad He's not around anymore to see this, He was a Medic in the US Army and He was not a draftee. Compromise Here's the meaning of the word: NOUN an agreement or a...

CA needs both, population of 39.5 million in 2017, being a state with lots of mountains, about 770 miles long by about 250 miles wide... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California I found all I need is a 60Amp 240v breaker, a 48Amp charger(level 2 @ 240v is AC, Level 3 is DC @ 480v), some #6...

BS, CA has a budget surplus and has had one since about 2010, look at My last post and go read the links.

CA has a rainy day fund in it with Billions of Dollars in it, the budget is required to be balanced by June 15th or Legislators get no pay until a budget is passed and signed by the Governor, this was voted in by the Voters in 2010, I voted for this, it's called Prop25... It also made the...

Now from what I've read the plates are to be purchased, but they are not mandatory, one would have to extend the wiring in ones car to the front and rear, which currently is not done by any automaker, and yes I live in CA, would I buy 2 of these "plates"? NO, and I'm a registered Democrat.

Cylon rule? "By your command" indeed...

If one works, if one is not able to work anymore, what then? I could use $20,000.00 a year, it would help a lot of people to have a Universal Basic Income of this amount, and the US could do this, it just lacks the political will to do this, raising the minimum wage can be done at the same time...

I live in California, everything is expensive, as almost everything is imported, and My current home is paid for already, no mortgage, I spent almost $176 on food last month, rent $416.47 which includes everything except sewer which is still free(for the moment), car insurance($16.33-16.35...

I wish I lived in that cooler area, where I live can be either 100F or more in summer for 110 or more days a year, or below freezing, like to 20F at night in the winter, in 2008 the area where I live at had 6" of snow, no one could go anywhere until the snow melted... CA is expensive, as CA...

And Atari did this back in 1979 with the Atari 400 computer, Timex Sinclair had a comparable keyboard, if you ddn't mind sore fingers, it was ok, and easy to keep clean, in Atari some people would buy an after market full stroke upgrade and use that instead, Timex Sinclair I don't know about...

As long as one is not getting SSI, one can get this if one has an EBT card, if one gets SSI and lives in California, this discount does not apply, since Amazon does not understand SSI recipients get Medi-Cal which uses its own card, Med-Cal is the California version of Medicaid, this $5.99...

And that would be a machine, which never sleeps, does not get paid, never asks for a raise, and never complains about anything, every job a human does can be automated, computers and AI can do that, it's only a matter of time, and humans will be obsolete...

So the Rich and Wall Street get taxed. so what? The Rich and Wall Street can withstand this, they have half the income in the US at $26 Trillion, and they just got a nice fat $1.5 Trillion tax cut, and since 1896 Trickle Down Economics has never worked, Trickle Down did not work in 1929 either...

Based on experience, your bill might go up, it all depends on how much you are at home.

I have several motherboards and a Laptop from Toshiba that I inherited... EVGA X79 DARK Asus Rampage IV Black Edition Asus Rampage IV Extreme Asus Rampage III Extreme EVGA P55 SLI None have Meltdown patched bioses as of yet, though Spectre patches have been installed in the DARK, the rest of...

Agreed, Me I'd think $1,666.67 a month or $20,000.04 a year as a Basic Income Grant would be better, one wouldn't get rich, but when times are tough, one wouldn't need to apply for UI or if one became Disabled due to an accident, surgery, or time itself, or all 3, one would be secure and not...

If one is not able to work, and some aren't due to accidents, surgery, and good ol father time, $500 is good if one works, if one doesn't it should be a flat $20,000.00 a year, or about $1666.67 a month.

I recently won an Asus 970 Turbo, it'll have to do triwolf.

I've already shifted most of My buying to Amazon, some items I'll still get from ebay, though I will never use ebays new replacement for PayPal, 2020 or not, Adyen, spits on ground, never...

I'd like to upgrade My PC from a PNY LC gtx 580 to an Nvidia 1070 Ti FE, but the shortage makes the cards cost almost an arm and a leg in some cases, gold might be cheaper soon if this keeps up.

Well I know of these: 5 JB Hunt, 5 Walmart, 40 Budweiser. 150? Those I don't know anything about.
