(Thinking back, Thrust in TF Armada was an F-35. That was over twenty years ago. Shows how long these pieces of military hardware take to get in service, given they’re only being rolled out now.)
They have been in use for a decade.

The parties are organizations whose job is to win elections. The GOP is enjoying its success right now. The DNC is think-tanking and analyzing statistics. They will look for an exciting candidate to get behind in 2028 and they will adjust their platform as they deem necessary to win more elections. Remember, the parties themselves don't care about policies. They choose the policies and positions that will give them an advantage. You are happily, and also sadly, mistaken if you think these two organizations are going to fall apart.There is no future for Republicans. Trump is the only thing holding them together as anything resembling a coalition. Eight years of looking for someone able to match his energy has failed. Trump's inevitable death will be a murder-suicide pact for the GOP.
There is no future for Democrats. They lack the ability to inspire the people. Their options are to cling to a framework that has already failed, or try to be more Trump-like and authoritarian against their "enemies", which they lack the competence, drive, and/or chutzpah to make work.
The bright future for America is a cross-party coalition that rejects R and D tribalism and forges something new that a majority can agree on. But both sides are so divided, so petulant, and so untrusting of one another, that its unrealistic to expect such a positive change in the near future without an even stronger catalyst.
The dark future for America is complete anarchy once people openly accept that no system exists that really controls them in any way.
The median is maybe we dissolve into 50 independent countries if people pretend they're still willing to accept State law after the federal government falls apart, but the cognitive dissonance to believe that is already structurally unsound.
What is government when people refuse to be governed?
Pretty much. The F-35 is the latest attempt by DoD office chairs to "standardize" their primary fighter platform across all branches (like the F-4 Phantom), but is years and billions of dollars overrun.I don’t really follow this sort of thing, but isn’t the F-35 a massively overpriced white elephant anyway?

A bottle or a line?Yeah, you got me. I owe you a coke.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that governments should stop doing business with private companies entirely and instead establish their own owned-and-operated production pipelines for everything they need.I mean, if anyone in government was actually serious about addressing waste in spending? Try holding these multibillion corporations accountable and levy penalties when they fail to deliver. I don't keep paying a contractor to work on my house if he's months behind and asking for another round of as much money as he quoted for the job to begin with, y'know?
Right now I'm just a security guard. Don't do it on property and I genuinely could not care less.Depends: where's rhinox?
So guess what happened with one of the authors of this bill?Minnesota is currently bowing to his whims by adding "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to the list of mental illnesses.
start a countdown; how long before his Supreme Court undoes Brown V Board?
Trump is racist. He's an old white guy that has always believed white people were on top because they try harder or because they have a culture more conducive to success. He sees any check or correction of that as cheating.It is, at the very least, proof that Trump really is THAT racist and isn't even bothering to disguise it anymore. That's not a dogwhistle, it's a 1812 Overture cannon.
The White House this week forced Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner to step down as head of the U.S. passenger railroad after President Donald Trump sought the changes, two sources told Reuters.
Gardner said on Wednesday he will resign immediately, ending more than four years as head of the railroad, citing concerns about maintaining the carrier's support from the Trump administration.
