SR-71 wasn’t acknowledged for many years, then was decommissioned decades ago with no named replacement.

And, today, I can sit down with a soldering gun and $800 worth of consumer-grade hardware and in a few hours make a quad camera drone that will do 85+ mph, with a flight envelope that would boggle the mind of an F-16 pilot in 1995.

Of course, this alien horse shit is being spun up to distract from the multiple flight platforms we are running and/or testing, based on bleeding-edge human technologies.

Esq does not have regulated usage in the U.S. Anyone can put Esq behind their name without being prosecuted for practicing law without a license.

To clarify: treason requires a declared war against an external entity. Sedition is what Trump did.

Right, but that is sedition, not treason.

We’re not in a declared war.

Bold claim.

EDIT: It’s a joke about claiming to have extra brain cycles.

Link? Would love to take a trip down memory lane.

I can still remember firing up Netscape for the first time in 1994.

Hell yeah. He had to buy Twitter because early discovery was filled with shit that pissed off Valley power players and made it clear he was an idiot.

How much stock do you place in the simulations suggesting superconducting properties likely adhere?

I may be misunderstanding the recap so please feel free to correct.

Fuck the founding fathers, coming straight from the underground.

It’ll be ~5 years before all appeals are exhausted. I’d be shocked to see that he ever eats a final conviction, and any Republican president will pardon him, living or dead.

And, even if he is convicted and not pardoned, the functional challenges of managing Secret Service protection in a white-collar prison would be daunting, not to mention that his SS detail seems to have been easily corrupted to lie for him. The SS leadership, a locus of supreme bootlickers, would likely tell an inquiring judge that it’s too difficult to protect him in any penal institution for white-collar criminals, which will force the court to choose house arrest at most.

So, it’s probable that he’ll never serve a day in jail or prison.

You know you’re old when Dennis the Menace isn’t on this chart.
