    The funniest thing is that this shouldn't have been a "great victory" for the Republicans. It should have just been a matter of course that you can leverage with your already activated base. Instead they somehow turned the political high ground into their own fucking Cannae. Absolute morons. They weren't going to win this battle but they fought it anyway and did irreparable damage to themselves this midterm. 

     

     

    Yep, so fuckin dumb, I think they were afraid to back down, their own supports would have been protesting in their offices.

    That's pretty much my experience as well.

     

    I used to play a lot of air RB, but basically the meta is 109s (and, to a slightly lesser extent, spitfires) grinning down at you from around tier 1-6 and you get sick of it after a while.

     

    Part of the problem (as you've already pointed out) is that climb meta skews all the other gameplay around it when you can't bomb or strafe out a win very often.

    I always kinda wondered if you can take a P-38K and hunt those 109 fuckers down, if modeled at all correct it should climb fast and have more power at alt than any 109...

    Do 1X16 for sure, and a bigger SSD but other than that,  it looks sweet!  Splurge on the monitor, it will stick with you through several computers, and a huge monitor is nice, nicer than two mediums. Make sure your video card can hack the res if you get a stupid big monitor, I got lucky my video card choice could handle the 3840X2160res monitor.  The GTX980 was like pretty high end when I built the system.

    Draft parts list based on Logical Increments, mostly from "great" tier;

     

    i7-8700  $340(for some reason their i5s are slightly more expensive)

    RX 580 $217

    NH-U12S $58

    ASRock Z730 $150

    16 GB RAM $112 (unsure whether to do 1x16 or 2x8, feel like less sticks would let me upgrade easier in future)

    2TB hard drive $60

    250 GB SSD$60

    620 Watt Power Supply $60

    Case$100

     

    Add in up to $300 for keyboard, mouse, monitor, and total is $1457, which is more than I had originally planned, but I got a good chunk of overtime last pay period (and probably some more this one) so I can handle it. Think that's about my upper limit though.

    Yeah, and there have been reports of lawyers leaving the Mueller probe and going back to regular stuff, a sign they are closing down.  

     

    I expect the Dems to go even more stupid/insane now, their narrative if falling apart, their lies are coming our, their true character has been exposed.   They arrested a Dem staffer for doxxing and a bunch of other crap.   I expect actual violence against Republicans and Republican politicians next. 

     

     

    Maybe the decent Democrats out there will wake up and vote out the crazy idiots they are currently electing if there are enough left.

    Yeah, the few times I tried it, that's what  I ran into... 

     

    What's funny, is you can still win Air AB when those ass bags are playing alt ambush bs. 

     

    Just dive for the deck with a load of ord, bomb the shit of out stuff, win the battle through the ground game, why they rack up their silly K/D and lose the game.  This works well for American planes, cause most of them haul bombs and rockets, and six .50s works well on soft ground stuff, and they have tons of ammo and fast reload, so left alone, you can do a lot of damage. 

     

    I do have fun playing planes in tank RB, there are fewer alt monkeys in that mode, but you still get them, but a guy wasting time in a fighter at high alt loses their team the game in that mode too.

    Someone claiming to be Christine Ford's ex submitted a letter to Senator Grassley stating he observed his (then) girlfriend assisting another woman prepare for her FBI job interview by training her on polygraph tests back in the 90s. This would be in violation of her testimony given before the Senate Judiciary Committee where she specifically said she "Never" gave any such instructions or tips to anyone and thus potential grounds for perjury if this newcomer is speaking legitimately.

     

    There is far more credible evidence she is a Democrat operative than there is for her being raped.

    See I don't even doubt that he's intelligent. Just that a part of his personality is to be audacious and make people like him. I get how that can make someone come across as not intelligent compared to the archetype of the stoic laconic personality. I had an uncle who was a pretty big businessman, left my aunt millions and had stuff from meeting...I think it was either Ford or Nixon. In any case one thing that my dad always told me about him was that part of the reason he was soo successful negotiating is that he always made the other party feel like they got one over on him. He could be practically robbing the other guy blind but that guy would still think that boy howdy he was the winner in that one! I see that all over the place with Trump. If you think he's just a buffoon who needs handlers, I think you're just falling into his strategy of interaction.

     

     

    I don't consider Trump a regular politician, cause he gives no fucks what the Media thinks of him, and I actually agree with his agenda, and he certainly is not stupid, a little odd sure.  

     

     

     

    I was talking your standard dipshits, Obama, Warren, Bush, McCain, Flake,  etc.

    Remember, fake news was coined by the cable networks (I think it was even CNN) and it only became a naughty term when used on them. 

     

    This is the power of societies leash holders. There's too much trust in curated news. Not a shred of ability to research and deduce. I also fail to see anything particularly bad with Trump besides he likes to shit post on the twatters but I've already made my opinion on how we shouldn't hold elected officials on a social pedestal clear.

     

     

    Oh yeah, anyone who admires, or even likes, a politician, is a person who does not understand, they, by going into the profession, are and probably always was an asshole, and most are pretty stupid. Much like most people in the media, both are places that have no real standards, and being smooth and good looking pays well.  They should not be trusted and should be verbally beaten and abused until they only do their voters biding, and the ones that put the others sides voters above the people who elected them, like Flake, must be purged because they are the lowest of the low.

    Clearly, she didn't even need the full 15 minutes to get hundreds of thousands of dollars.

     

     

    She will be a folk hero to the left, she will now get speaking events and get to go to all the fundraisers, and I heard she had four Gofundme and she was near a million bucks last week.   Her story has changed, she lied about her background, and the prosecutor says she has a weaker than normal 'he said she said' case with holes in it, yet they still call her credible. The same people who call her a hero, tougher than a Marine,  call the Judge a rapist drunk with zero evidence. In fact, they are smearing a man, whose only crime seems to be liking beer, while a teen.

     

     

    As we have seen though, the left doesn't care about the truth, fairness, the US Voters, rules, or decency, they hate Trump, and they are going to stop him and his agenda.  The people who say both sides are the problem are stupid, the Right is still willing to talk and work with the other side, and is not calling them rapist and racists when they don't get there way. Things are so bad, there is talk that we are going to shoot each other coming from all sides now. Only one side is interested in fairness and the truth and they other has adopted the by any means necessary strategy.  

     

    The greatest irony of the whole thing is, Trump has done none of the shit they said he would, he has done a pretty good job if you look at it with an objective eye, and the proof is the Economy is ticking along better than it has in decades, by just about any measure, that is if your not a mindless anti Trump drone with no ability to reason and no desire to anyway. These assholes, who cry about how oppressed they are while living in the US, might actually destroy it all with their bullshit.

    I'm not going to join in on the "lets rib Walt" session.  A lot of my family are die-hard (AKA "Blue Dog" Democrats).

    I'd just point out that within my lifetime, we had a Republican president who was a real piece of work, and another who was basically a seat warmer.

     

    (But then we had Carter. Poor Jimmy.).

     

    I agree about most Presidents and politicians, pretty much all of them actually, being scum, and I don't think you can castigate their supporters as all being a low character no matter what side they are on, until they prove it.

    Yes but they didn't ACCUSE HIM OF RAPE

    Yes, Walt seems to think the political power the Republicans used, the kind given to them by voters fed up with Obama's shits, to stop him, is evil and wrong, when it was just politics, and is exactly the same as smearing someone as a rapist when you have had that power taken away by the same voters. He gets his talking points right from the DNC and has said he is fine with their tactics.
