So...anybody who wants to claim that Biden is in cognitive decline while simultaneously ignoring the many signs that Trump is suffering from frontotemporal dementia needs to do just a wee bit of homework and watch the presser that Biden and Harris did today, and then immediately afterward watch a playback of Trump's presser. Or switch the order - it doesn't really make a difference. Fatilities? Don't give me this "misspoke" excuse either. He said it twice. And what's with the slurring? At best it's like watching a 3rd grader read a book report in front of the class when everyone knows damn well he didn't read the book. 0 days since Trump has been a national embarrassment.

While the Russian vaccine might be bullshit, the general premise of what they are doing is not and the USA should follow suit. Hear me out. The FDA has three phases for clinical trials. Phases 1 and 2 are largely about safety. Phase 3 is about effectiveness (mostly). There are a few US vaccines currently in phase three. Because they are in phase 3, the FDA has already declared them safe. They are just trying to figure out effectiveness. So why not bypass phase 3 entirely and just offer it to anyone who wants it? Worst case it doesent work, in which you mostly just wasted money. But if it does work (and so far phases 1 and 2 show them to be effective) we could save 200,000+ deaths that will inevitably occur between now and when it is due to come out at the end of next year. Even if the vaccine did cause harm to some people under specific conditions that phases 1 and 2 dident catch, what will cause more harm, the vaccine that's proven mostly safe or COVID that will continue to kill thousands per day until this vaccine is rolled out in full? Seems like an easy answer to me. The pros of waiting do not exceed the cons even if it means rushing the trials.

That is simply a lie.

KC was exposed as a suspect on national TV years ago. Yet, the case for KC being Cooper is stuck in the mud.

Kooks for Trump.

Hillary Clinton - "nasty woman". Kamala Harris - "nasty woman". Nancy Pelosi - "nasty horrible woman". Ghislaine Maxwell - "I wish her well".

Not if you're a kook who believes a sex trafficking ring operates from a basement that doesn't exist

Thanks Bill. I wrote a long reply, less thoughtful than yours, that was lost with one of the too many connections things. Ron, please think long and hard over Bill's words. Gotta go. I'm half way up the mast to get a signal and the winds are getting problematic.

You know the rules: If you self-identify as "right-wing" or "conservative", then anything you don't like must be part of the left-wing.

After 3 consecutive hard openings as you describe, don't jump it anymore - a visit to somebody/somewhere for diagnosis is appropriate. Serious inspection with the possibility of test jumping by someone else should be considered.

I think you are asking if you need to ask permission to do make the change. That depends on how you interpret "parachute" in Part 65.125(c): If you think "main parachute" means all the stuff that goes with it, including main container, bag, pilot chute, etc., then you don't need permission (my preferred take on the meaning of the regulation). If you think "main parachute" means just the canopy, then you're stuck with asking the manufacturer or your local FSDO and you might as well abandon your project. BTW, Strong Enterprises made a drogue-equipped student rig several years ago, but it never caught on.

Bankruptcy is Trump's specialty.

Well, that automatically excludes Trump then. Fucking hell you are a case study in cognitive dissonance

He breaks the tablets of commandments and yet the white wingers still adore him. It's a cult to a horrible treasonous human.

Here's a piece you won't read that talks about Biden's faith. ================================== When Pope Francis visited the United States in 2015, his welcomer-in-chief was then-Vice President Joe Biden. Almost wherever Francis went, Biden was there — in the White House and the Capitol, and also in sacred spaces, including at Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Biden followed the pope from Washington to Philadelphia, leading a farewell ceremony for the visiting dignitary he has called “the single most popular figure in the world.” This week, President Trump painted a very different picture of Biden, mocking his presumptive Democratic opponent as a man hostile to religion. “Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything,” Trump said of Biden on Thursday. “Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy, our kind of energy.” Biden, who was the country’s first Catholic vice president and would be the first Catholic president in more than half a century, has been motivated by his faith throughout his long career in politics. . . . “When you went to an event in Washington, D.C., with [Biden], it was the only room that included priests and nuns," said Christopher Jolly Hale, who was executive director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good during the Obama administration and is now running for Congress in Tennessee. “It was always strange to see the habits and collars among the most powerful in Washington.” Others noted that Biden almost always has rosary beads in his pocket, and frequently holds them in his hand — including while he monitored the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. He has written and spoken at length of how faith helped him grieve the loss of his first wife and daughter many years ago, and his son Beau more recently. Biden declined an interview request. In a statement, he called Trump’s attack “shameful,” saying that his faith is the “bedrock foundation of my life." ”President Trump’s decision today to profane God and to smear my faith in a political attack," Biden said, "is a stark reminder of what the stakes of this fight truly are.” ==========================
