No way. That's an arm around the shoulder and a that's my girl!

Oh man... i'll bet she's grounded now! Wendy P.

BTW bad orange man no longer President. President now senile gaff monster.

I watched it live. Not edited or cut. I heard what he said and couldn't believe it at the time. The 'legal protesters' on the right were still Nazis & KKK. It was a KKK RALLY. Were the 'moderate right' the ones who didn't kill someone? Just marched around waving swastika & Confederate flags? The ones shouting racists garbage? That's 'moderate' to you? Yes, it's protected speech under the 1st A. Doesn't mean it's not despicable. Ok.

What did anyone think about the press conference? He was asked about guns but he answered with infrastructure. He completely lost his train of thought, repeatedly. I had to turn it off.

A lawyer dissects Powell's "I'm full of shit" defense:

Trump gave the Ukrainians Javelin anti tank missiles, Obama gave them blankets. Obama gave the Russians a pass in Syria, Trump killed them.

Welcome back. This is far and beyond any individual post by anyone on this issue. While some of the specific points concede an America thats far too violent and overly vulnerable. It lays out some of the ideas necessary to keep all guns away from those who shouldn't possess them. Yet still allows safe and sane people to own them. On a separate related issue. Decline In Hunters Threatens How U.S. Pays For Conservation Why We Suck at Recruiting New Hunters, Why It Matters, and How You Can Fix It "Hunting participation peaked in 1982, when nearly 17 million hunters purchased 28.3 million licenses. Hunter numbers have steadily declined since. We lost 2.2 million hunters between 2011 and 2016 alone, according to the National Survey of Hunting, Fishing, and Wildlife-­Associated Recreation, a report issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In 2016, just 11.5 million people hunted. That’s less than 4 percent of the national population." Which of course runs counter to the current gun buying, gun licensing, stampede of Americans.

A post in "Friends of Hartwood" on Farcebook. ------------------------------------------------ Here's a shout out to Clay Schoelpple. Clay went back east after his dad passed. He was cleaning out some old shelves & found an old velcro pouch with some old guy's original log books, USPA licenses, SCS cards, etc. I had left those there in 1987 and never found them again. You can imagine what it must have taken for Clay to track me down 34 years later! I was in the Navy and moved a dozen times since then. Thank you, Clay! I miss those days at Hartwood and was sorry to hear about Harry. Blue Skies to all of you in the group & remind Clay what a great guy he is. - Bob Larys, D-6822

Except none of that actually happened. What actually did happen is shit just got more expensive as they just passed the prices off to the consumer. What are you going to, just not use shipping services anymore? Just not buy food anymore? Yea, some companies did optimize to more fuel efficient methods during the age of the $5 gallon of gas and some people sold their SUVs for smaller cars, but in the end what really happened is everyone just paid more money for shit and that was the end of the story. Also, last I checked hybrid planes arnt a thing, so guess what $35 jump tickets is still a reality. Also, electric cars are not an end all be all and they are not the future. Electric has substantial limitations. Good luck driving cross country in an electric car. It's risky at best and flat out impossible in some areas. Electric can easily cost more than gas in some areas as well. There used to be free charging stations everywhere. That is long gone. Now you're paying quite a bit for electric charging making the value much less attractive. I find it funny that the tree huggers are like 'I got my electric car so I am saving CO2 emissions' but fail to realize the power plant that provides electricity to their 'green' car is powered by fossil fuels....

the XL pipeline is the easiest and cheapest way to transport oil. You want cheap gas and cheap shipping? Then you need to keep the overhead down. You cant have it both ways. You cant have no environmental impact and cheap prices. The cost of oil affects everything from the rent you pay to the cost of crap on Amazon--nothing is untouched by oil. Oil costs go up, all costs everywhere go up. I do find it paradoxical that the administration is concerned with splitting hairs over a $1000 check vs a $1400 one for relief, yet fail to see that executing an action that will increase the cost of fuel will cost tens of thousands of dollars per person over many years in the form of increased inflation due to higher overhead costs.

In October while campaigning Joe said that Exec Orders were a sign of dictatorship. In his first three days he has signed 19. The prior four Presidents Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton signed 1, 5, 0 and 1, respectively. Interesting. My opinion, no doubt many are good but there are some bad ones. Good or bad is not the point. The integrity of what one says is the issue.
