Yeah it was great when I was in the Army, there were contractors doing our jobs for 5 to 8 times as much as any of the military personnel, including the Officers. To be fair it's not easy to get qualified people who can pass the security requirements, but it always blew my mind how it was allowed.

I couldn't care less about anything involving Donald Trump but I'm sure she'll fit right in with Uncle Ted, Gene Simmons, Dave Mustaine and Kid Rock. Such wonderful company.

I've said we dodged a bullet with Garland not going to the Supreme Court and I firmly believe he would have constantly sided with Dread Justice Roberts and the Corruption Crew.

Liar. I tossed my weird shit box and immediately needed a TOSlink cable less than a week later.

Hopefully he'll get busted for cocaine possession. Every time I hear about that idiot going somewhere I always think the same thing.

If you ask me the Citizens United decision basically ruined everything in US politics. As soon as limits on money were gone corporate interests and their lobby groups could spend as much as they can to get them to not take action or be favorable to them. It's corruption, plain and simple.

Just the section titles tell you all you need to know. This "gentleman" has no business leading a fireteam, much less the entire DoD.

People sped up can't get fed up.

I'm just curious about so-called "private firefighters"

I don't think we covered that topic in 4 years of Emergency Management education. There aren't many out there. If any.

Fire jumped the road it sounds like. That kept happening in Florida in 98, except it was muck fires. Floridians kept stopping in the middle of the road on interstate highways and the toll roads (which are built to Interstate standard) to gawk at them.

I'm glad you and your family are safe though.

Won't the Trump circus/administration just choose to not follow the rule? I mean he wants to get rid of the CFPB as a whole, which is insane. I worked for a credit card company, and when the CFPB came into existence the C-suites there freaked. No more being able to do chicanery to mess with people.

Absolutely correct Doctor. And the burned area afterward can be highly toxic as well. Here in New Mexico we have to see how radioactive the debris are and dispose of them in a special manner if the rate is too high. I have a degree in Emergency Management specialized in Radiological/Nuclear.
