Quite a funny take on things

I'll concede, and have done so here repeatedly, that we missed a lot and Harris was far from the best candidate possible. But what is nonsensical to me is that the right seems unable to address Trumps criminality and unfitness in any serious way. For example, do you believe January 6 was a "love fest" as Trump has stated and will you be proud to be an American when he fulfills his promise to pardon the lot of those convicted of actions that resulted in 140 police officers being injured or worse?

Oh honey, you think people aren’t watching your videos because they can’t?

Ah yes, telling a woman to relax. Such a wonderful attitude. I hope the women in your life haven't suffered any sexual abuse. I know for a fact that if they had, they wouldn't be safe to have that conversation with you. Disgusting.

God I hope you don't have a wife or daughters. If you do, I highly suspect they don't trust you enough to have an honest conversation with you regarding sexual assault. 1 in 6 women in the US have been subject to completed or attempted rape 1 in 4 girls in the US will be sexually abused before they turn 18

Negativity sells 100 times faster than love. It is always easier to blame your problems on some outsider, instead of inventing ways to improve yourself and become your best possible you. That attitude leads to bullying, because bullies have abandoned efforts to achieve their best possible self and instead seek to improve their status by debasing others. Warfare is the same attitude on a national level. How well did that work for Adolf Hitler back in 1945? How well did that work for the Argentine ruling military junta back in 1982? How well is it working for Hamas today?

I thought we had to pay attention to what he is doing? Cause every time he said something very extreme, people would argue he didn't really mean it that way and that we should go by his actions. Now you are saying we shouldn't go by his actions, but by what he says. Basically you will lick his boots regardless of what he does, cause you can't have an opinion for yourself. It is why you weren't present here until Trump won. (removed personal attack)

Father: "Son, your mother and I have some news for you. You are adopted." Son: "I knew it! So who are my real parents?" Father: "We are. Your new parents are coming by in 30 minutes to pick you up, so get packing"

Haha, shouldn’t have expected anything less from you. If it’s bad then it’s the dems fault, if it’s good then it’s Trumps genius. Pretty much every economist with credibility says Trumps economic plan is nuts (and let’s face it - even you can’t deny he’s had 6 bankruptcies, or were those also Bidens fault?)

9,000 unused permits. If they found a dry hole, the permit would have been used. You really are not a serious person and generally have no idea what you are talking about.

They can just look for the made in China label on their smart phone while they are looking it up.

States rights take on a whole new meaning depending which side of the federal government your state is on. It will now be Newsome and Ferguson in the posistion Abbott and DeSantis have occupied. The largest economic drivers of the USA are in the coastal blue states.

9000 permits 9000 permits on 24 million acres, of which 12 million acres have not been drilled on yet. The irony of people complaining about the rich, while parroting the noise from the rich is sad.

You forgot to mention that trump personally made more money off the presidency than every other president combined in history. "Donald Trump reported making more than $1.6 billion in outside revenue and income during his four years as President of the United States, according to a review of his financial disclosures by CREW. While Trump publicly took credit for donating his taxpayer-funded salary, that ended up being less than 0.1% of the revenue and income he disclosed during his presidency. Far from being a sacrifice, the donation was merely a fig leaf to cover up four years of brazen corruption." "Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750. He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made." You have clearly not learned the first lesson of this election. Facts don't mean squat to the MAGA base and neither does corruption.

Social media is a huge driver of this. That is the reason why true authoritarian nations tightly control it and all media. And where that goes from here is very unpredictable. Most likely it will end up being reigned in everywhere eventually. Probably only after a major crisis like a war or large scale social unrest.

Vast? That is some take. Is it basic maths or the meaning of words that the Army doesn’t teach you?

I am utterly shocked that was the only word you understood.

And rape is rape, and felonies are felonies. Strangely, republicans are the ones trying to redefine those terms these days,

And the last two significant waves of populism in the US (late 1800's and late 20's into the 30's) were ended by change. One was, in part, the trust-busting of T. Roosevelt, as well as the blatantly jingoistic "let's all pull together" journalism of the Spanish American war. One is unlikely to happen (the corporations and elites now own the political process), and Fox News is trying mightily for the other, but that won't work as long as they make 1/2 of the country part of the enemy. In the late 20's and 30's we had the run-up to and start of WW2. In both cases, the populism was brought on in part (definitely not entirely) by a concentration of wealth with little view to using that wealth for much besides the accumulation of more wealth, along with there being enough dispossessed-feeling people (mainly farmers in the 1890's and just about everyone in the 1930's) to carry it along by word of mouth.

Steve Bannon in 2015 said that if the D party tried to win on identity politics it would lose. Because the coalition of identities that are outside of the dominant one is too small. He was right. The only reason Biden won in 2020 was not a backlash against Trump, it was the upheaval of covid.

Sure, I have accepted that a small majority or at the very least a very large minority is following the path of fear, and even that some of the fear is not unreasonable. But at the same time I would ask you to accept that society is very evenly divided and unless you are willing to accept the end of democracy you will also need to move out of the way one day. Populism is not a new thing and it has a long history of only lasting for a limited time.

Hi 698, One of the pathetic posts that I have ever read. Jerry Baumchen

The Alberta conservative leader: Danielle Smith’s cancer claims:“But, when you think about everything that built up before you got to stage four(cancer) and that diagnosis, that’s completely within your control and there’s something you can do about that that is different.”.... "During the town hall, in response to an audience member’s concerns about chemtrail spraying over Edmonton, Smith said, “The best I have been able to do is talk to the woman who is responsible for controlling the airspace, and she says no one is allowed to go up and spray anything in the air.” When the crowd hooted and booed, Smith said, “That’s what she’s told me.” Smith added, “The other person told me that if anyone is doing it, it’s the U.S. Department of Defense.” Smith said if the U.S. is hitting Alberta with chemtrails, her hands are somewhat tied as a regional leader in Canada." She's a dumb as trump.

Y'all Qaeda / Talibundy / Christian sharia is coming. The republicans are now admitting Project 2025 is the actual plan and goal.

Looking on the LowKi layout and size, I have impression that it is well represents mid-sized wingsuit. You don’t need another mid-sized wingsuit to make progression. With 200 jumps on LowKi you will have enough experience to switch to Freak. At the beginning Freak will feel difficiult to control, you may need coach. But there is no reason to go through ATC practicing.

Just a heads up for those of you that hang out here, but don't check out other forums:

It seems Boeing is re-evaluating it's position on things Woke. According to Yahoo Finance: "To be clear, DEI principles would not and will not play any part in the [Boeing’s] very limited role in this process," the company said in the filing, "that is to say, Boeing will be solely focused on the capabilities, professional background, and experience of the candidates." It added that "while Boeing has published aspirations related to diversity and inclusion," the company "does not compromise on merit or talent in pursuit of those aspirations and has a merit-based performance system with procedures aimed at encouraging an equality of opportunity, not of outcomes." It seems prioritizing perceived victim status is a less than ideal business model.
