It would take a helluva lot to dethrone the USD as the world’s most accepted currency, but one potential way to get there is incessantly shitting on any world leaders who aren’t ready to kiss the brass ring…which, in praise of Harris, is something she’s too smart to do.

Almost anyone would be preferable to a crooked lying rapist self-aggrandizing narcissistic felon.

Althogether too sensible. Will never make it past the imbecile fraction of the voting population.

Out of curiosity, what do you expect to happen should Harris win? Please give some specifics - I'd like to come back in 4 years and see how accurate you were.

as requested. She has a degree in law and much experience as a prosecutor. She also has political experience now, years of it. She has no criminal investigations following her around and she is for liberty, women's rights and the rule of law. She has never tried to overthrow a government nor is she a communist nor a Marxist, as if anyone here knows anything about what those accusations actually mean

TK and Mark, please try to stay on topic by saying something nice about the lovely Kamala in each of your posts on this thread. I understand the need to trash the dotard and his friends sometimes, but if you could add a little praise for the current best choice at the end it would be so wonderfully wonderful.

And personally I’d vote for Kamala over Skippy the Wonder Dog, but the dog wins over Trump every time Wendy P.

You can’t reason and use logic against emotion and gut feel/intuition. Believing without evidence that Harris’s policies will lead to economic collapse and a failed state - an emotional argument straight out of Trumps playbook. Again like Trump any attempt at a logical argument is based on exaggerated worst case scenarios. One of the reasons Trump is so successful is that he tapes into and exploits fear. He connects emotionally and validates people’s fears. I think Harris is doing a better job than Biden at appealing to people’s emotions and acknowledging them. The emphasis on joy has been good as an antidote to fear.

Well then, that's fairly off topic right there. In praise of Kamala I would like to state that she has never advocated for Marxism. And in no way did you answer the question posed and quoted which is what do you predict will happen during her term as POTUS that frightens you so?

In a win for the estate of the late Isaac Hayes, a judge has ordered Trump to stop playing “Hold On, I’m Coming” at his rallies. Trump has protested that is the only way he ever gets to hears those words. I got this from one of the late-night talk show hosts. ;-)

Makes sense, I suppose, if your goal is more Trump voters.

That is exactly the kind of legislation existing in most civilized countries. In NZ even hand guns are illegal. Semi autos are rare, and have limited capacity magazines. Guns and ammunition must be kept in separate, secure locations.

I mean, if reduced deficits are your jam, you should indeed vote Democrat. There is pretty decent historical evidence that deficits are lower under Democrats. Surprised somebody who is so into evidence, science and doing research isn't aware of that.....

I'll give you all of that and an Argentina and still see no more than a smoldering camp fire not a powder keg with a lit fuse. Sure Black Swans happen but they aren't necessarily any worse than White Swans or the odd, unexpected Orange Swan which the nation and world also survived. Harris will likely be a place holder for a better Republican down the line while Trump definitely fits the fool me twice mold.

not actually remotely close to being specific about anything.... making MORE assertions to back up your already flimsy assertions.....

Looked back through 302 notes and the 302's a bit, the tie was originally looked at for bodily fluids and I did not come across anything mentioning an evaluation of the ransom for bodily fluids when found, just fingerprints. So my vague recall can be scratched out. The four Cups were from Part 41 - pdf pg 27, the DB pg is - 11395

yeah well here is what we do know, Police will not stop the shootings, Uvalde and Parkland and others - they failed completely 'Law-abiding responsible gun owners' will not stop it (this shooting, Sandy Hook and others where parents and others were directly negligent) Your average gun toting citizen who is carrying 'to protect me and others from carnage' will not stop them (El Paso Walmart shooting in Texas.... there is NO WAY that no one in that store was not carrying, it is Texas after-all) More guns is NOT making us any safer - that is demonstratively false. Open and concealed carry is not stopping the problem. Basically the gun lobby is one giant propaganda-spouting lie, but no one seems to care, because after-all, it is America and even the liberals like their guns and will not offer up anything in the way of effective legislation. Pro-life my ass. The biggest farce of all.

I have collected a big pile of old USPA Parachutist mags back into the 60s, with the help of Beatnik who has a much more complete collection (but isn't on this site much these days I think). But I'm not actively collecting; too much to skim through already and using up basement space! The thing is, some organizations finally got their archives all digitized. Which is amazing; a huge job. To refresh my own memory too: The US "Skydiving" recently went online, back to their start in 1979. (https://skydivingmagazine.org/browse-issues/ ) The Brits have had their issues online for some time, right back to 1964 ("Sport Parachutist", "Skydive the Mag") (https://britishskydiving.org/magazine-archive/ ) Lesser collections: In Canada ("Canpara") we only have the newly created digital issues, so from 2015+. (https://www.cspa.ca/en/digital-issues ) For the USPA "Parachutist" I only know of an unofficial archive of covers. (and occasionally indexes and some other lesser known old skydive mag covers) (http://manifestmaster.com/skydiver/index.html ) A very few old time "Parachutist" magazines have been uploaded in the Facebook Oldschool Skydiving forum, along with some other interesting odds & ends documents from the old days. For those who have joined that private group: (https://www.facebook.com/groups/28649069239/files/ ) Anything I'm missing?

A man and his trainer are preparing for a Championship Wrestling Match. The trainer tells the man, "You're lean, you're strong, and you're skilled. If you give him all you've got, you can win this. But beware; whatever you do, don't let him get you in the twisted pretzel hold. No one has ever gotten out of the twisted pretzel hold." The competition begins, and wouldn't you know it: just ten seconds into the match and the man is locked up in a twisted pretzel hold. The trainer, livid, turns and slowly heads for the locker room. When the bell rings about 10 seconds later, the trainer glances over his shoulder, and to his surprise, the referee is holding his fighter's hand in the air. Shocked, the trainer runs back into the ring and says, " What happened? He had you in the twisted pretzel hold, no one has ever gotten out of the twisted pretzel hold." The man replies, "Well, he had me all twisted up in that hold. I thought I was done for. I couldn't move my legs, I couldn't move my arms. I couldn't move my body at all. But just as I was about to give up all hope, I looked up and saw a big pair of balls in my face. I opened my mouth and bit as hard as I could. Two seconds later I had him pinned. And let me tell you, you cannot not believe how much strength you have within you until you bite yourself in the nuts."

You don't read SC half awake you read it half hammered. No wonder you don't understand Brents insightful science lessons or Rich Ravizza's cogent repartee.

Well, they won't actually be able to read the Bible, but then again, they don't now either.

Trump loves the poorly educated and they love him. W/O a dept of education evangelicals can teach everyone Jebus and the American Taliban will rise bible in hand.

More baseless assertions, the sky is falling, the sky is falling..... yet I will bet that your days today are much like your days were 3, 5, 8, 15 years ago.....

I'm not particularly keen on Harris, but she is by far the lesser of two evils. Your repeated equivalencing of Harris with Trump is like equivalencing G.W. Bush with Saddam Hussein.

Out of the darkness and into the light.

Dad is now facing 180 years in jail. He's earned it. Sometimes I wish gen pop was what it used to be. Which actually makes me feel bad.....but...
