It has been a long, long, time since I drilled, Navy boot camp was 1956, but I'm pretty sure that I remember this: "order arms" had the rifle parallel to your right leg, butt resting on the ground; this was not equivalent to a salute. "Present arms" had the rifle held vertically in front of you.

You younger folks, who have been through this more recently -- am I remembering this correctly?

Yes. What I was trying to say, though, is that you can't order arms unless they are being presented first. And "arms" can be a hand salute or a rifle in front of you (also considered a salute). This is Army BTW, perhaps it's different in the Marines/Navy.

They were saluting someone, it's just not clear to me who that someone was. I suspect that it was someone walking in front of Slow Joe and that this was before the inauguration as I can't imagine that Marines would not salute the CIC.

I don't know, but was this before or after he took the oath? The marines didn't salute so I'm assuming it's prior.


I'm pretty sure that's the case. He was a civilian at the time & not Commander in Chief, so he doesn't rate a salute.

Still, it might be a good idea to keep the fencing up around the Capitol so he doesn't wander too far away from his caretakers, and start following the squirrels & pigeons around.

I understand, and I certainly believe that the handlers can make it all work long enough for several things to go wrong. And, yeah, it only makes sense to accept that a compounded perception problem and an unskilled President isn't as dangerous as a President who's mentally incompetent.

I guess my worry was having to limp along with a badly weakened President for four years (even the fraud or the bawd), but that would wind up being the case either way.

The DemocRATS are all about their useful idiots and Biden is as malleable as they come.

Scary, but with a ray of hope - President Trump runs again, beats the Hildebeast and puts her in the grave where she belongs due the the misery of being beaten by him twice.

OK, so this thread needs to be locked, yes? We need to cease all politcal discussion, yes?

If this is the kind of thing you guys are going to post, I'll shut all of it down, indefinitely.

And don't think for one second that it's an idle threat. Some longtime members may recall that for several months in 2013- after Obama was elected- I placed a moratorium on all politcal discussion- all of it. It was like stopping a freight train on a downhill grade but I managed it.

If you guys want that again, just keep up with this "here's how Hillary can become POTUS" NONSENSE.

Cut it out. You guys need a place to discuss politics, I understand that, and you need to understand that I am not going to sit here and listen to NONSENSE and pure speculation.

STOP with the ridiculous hypotheticals.

Dear God. Less than three weeks in, and we're already back in the heart of Obamaland - that is, trying to make a virtue of learned (hell, he's progressive, we'll call it "anticipated") helplessness.

Biden's list of accomplishments (so far):

1. Killed 11,000 jobs with an estimated $1.3B in annual wages and salaries. Layoffs began 22 Jan 2021. ("Keystone pipeline" Executive Order)

2. Potentially killed another 3,000 to 6,000 jobs in New Mexico and Utah by stopping new petroleum drilling on federal lands. ("Keystone pipeline" EO)

3. Admitted he really didn't have a plan to deal with COVID as he claimed when campaigning. (As reported by Fox news, 23 Jan)

4. The first person he fired after taking office was a black man (the Surgeon General)

You forgot...

5. Issued an EO countermanding Trump's EO lowering prescription drug prices for Americans--ensuring Americans continue to pay more than citizens in other developed nations.

I’ve yet to see the actual order or EO, but we now have this little gem of a gift from the new regime if confirmed true (from Breitbart) -

Unsurprising, everything Biden did on day one hurt the US and its citizens, and I would argue, the world community. Not one GD thing benefited anyone who works and pays taxes. Make no mistake, the lines have been drawn in the sand already. This president and this administration are our enemy. They will do far more lasting damage to this country than the Taliban, Al Queda, and ISIS could combined. 'Unity'...screw that. I want nothing to do with this retarded un-American POS and his cabal of grifters and socialist wannabees. I don't know where we go from here, by I for one am done bending and compromising to try and promote peace.

At least only 71% of them are convicted criminals or awaiting trial for crimes.
