Cruise Ballistic Missile concept.
By 1980 the US was concerned about the vulnerability of the ICBM force to a Soviet first strike. Enter the Cruise Ballistic Missile concept. The booster will launch the Minuteman, then a cruise missile will carry the ICBM while waiting for the order to launch. #aviation pic.twitter.com/TiwUAUTNCP

Fight Now: III MEF's Warfighting Concept
Saturday, February 13, 2021
Politics Talk. Let's get rugged and raw. What do you think would have happened if the rioters had gotten to Pelosi, Pence & Schumer on that fateful day?
Trump got off but McConnell doesn't seem happy about it.
The Congressional part of the Trump saga has come to an end. I'm sure there will be democrat attorney generals that will still seek his scalp but the major league stuff is behind him (I fully expect national leaders to tell the locals to knock it off with the hope that he'll go home and deal with civil lawsuits...more than a few will be coming from injured Capitol Police Officers).
But let's rewind the tape and speculate.
Let's get rugged and raw with it.
What do you think would have happened if the rioters had gotten to Pelosi, Pence and Schumer?
Despite the opinion of many of my readers I believe we would have seen public executions. I think that mob would have torn them apart. I think some of the racists elements would have done terrible things to minority representatives.
I think more than a few women congress people would have been ravaged.
But that's me.
What do you think? Yeah we're playing a big "WHAT IF?" but I'd like to know how you think it would have played out if the congress critters hadn't evacuated in time.
Addendum. I did not forget about the security detail. To the contrary I'm guessing that they would have stacked many bodies before they let the mob get to the congressmen. That's why I'm so certain that the congress people would have been brutalized beyond description. Revenge for the fallen and all that stuff.

Politics Talk. Trump Impeachment - the defense strikes back
Just a few thoughts on the Trump Impeachment - the defense.
I've been impressed. It was rugged and raw but they juxtaposed the talk of Democrat leaders during the riots with what Trump said on Jan 6.
To say that it was chilling is an understatement.
Make no mistake. I've never defended the riots during the summer (I DID DEFEND the protests...there is a difference for all the "heil hitlers" in the crowd). But to see what leading democrats were saying was eye opening.
Additionally the storming of the capitol is a special kind of evil. Burning cities is bad, but in my opinion storming the seat of our nation is worse.
We'll see what we'll see. I'll be monitoring the rest of this thing.
