I think posting a video of dropping shit on your opponents is obscene.

On the whole I'm happier having people around who are willing to fix my roof, make a new patio, help landscape my yard than I am to have people around who are clearly frustrated Gestapo wannabes.

I'm sure Crazy Horse felt the same way.

I thought the Access Hollywood tapes would have been the end of Trump. But his supporters made excuses. I thought caracaturing a disabled man would have been the end of Trump. But his supporters made excuses. I thought findings of fraud and rape by US courts would have been the end of Trump. But his supporters made excuses. I thought felony convictions would have been the end of Trump. But his supporters made excuses. I am APPALLED by the video he posted of himself wearing a crown and shitting on No Kings protesters from a fighter jet. Has any President of the United States of America ever gone public with something so vile, vulgar, disgusting and low class? Can you imagine any former president doing such a thing - Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, Carter, either Bush, Obama, not even Nixon or Johnson. As much as I disagreed with many of them, each one of them behaved with a level of decorum that is totally absent in Trump. And still his supporters stay silent.

Mark is not suggesting that they SIGN the paper. Rather that they refuse to sign or vacate their offices. BTW, the Australian Newspaper signed the agreement, then seeing they were out of step with everyone else rescinded their agreement (said their lawyers had reviewed the terms and they couldn’t in good faith comply).

Bachelorette parties should probably avoid the area.

In the open is best. Trump has been treated very unfairly by the DOJ. All these investigations were so unfair. Now "President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit." In other counties where kings were sent to the guillotine centuries ago. The justice system has no kings "Nicolas Sarkozy has become the first French ex-president to go to jail, as he starts a five-year sentence for conspiring to fund his election campaign with money from late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi." For non Americans here is one analysis of this "justice" " “What a travesty,” said Bennett L. Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. “The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don’t need a law professor to explain it.” He added: “And then to have people in the Justice Department decide whether his claim should be successful or not, and these are the people who serve him deciding whether he wins or loses. It’s bizarre and almost too outlandish to believe.”

IMO pretty damn good.

Well that’s clearly insane bullshit. It really is a shame you’ve never bothered to dig beyond the simplest surface level understanding of any issue.

Hi folks, The criminality continues: “They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said in a Fox News interview airing early Friday, before he departed for a $1 million-per-plate MAGA Inc. super PAC fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. Thousands of No Kings protests are taking place nationwide. GOP calls them ‘Hate America’ rallies - oregonlive.com The most criminal POTUS in my lifetime. Any MAGA's out there who disagree? Let's hear from you. Jerry Baumchen

Of course you didn’t infer it. The reader infers, as the writer you implied. But for real though if this “I would have been back every day trying to get back in, making it very loudly known to all.” Isn’t a protest then what the fuck is it?

And, if they wanted to, they could all have shown up this morning in protest, happily dancing outside the Pentagon dressed as Sesame Street characters, waving Pom-Poms, and singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

It’s a very fine line between that and military coup. Because most generals etc in coups think they’re doing the right thing. Wendy P.

Hi Mark, Let's be thankful for the little bit of honesty & ethics that still exists in this country. Jerry Baumchen No Kings

Bessent says new Argentina debt facility would bring US support to $40 billion "The U.S. again purchased Argentine pesos in the open market on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters, adding that the department was working with banks and investment funds to create a $20 billion facility to invest in the South American country's sovereign debt. Bessent said during a press conference that the facility would sit alongside a new $20 billion U.S. currency swap line for Argentina, providing a total of $40 billion in support for Latin America's third-largest economy." Not the $20 billion Trump stated and the $20 billion only mentioned on FOX Meanwhile Argentinians are selling off the peso as they bet against the Gringo currency rescue. In other news Argentina dropped an export tax on soybeans in September resulting in more than 15 orders for soybeans from China completely replacing US orders.“These deals were done last night after Argentina’s decision on export tax,” said one of the traders, declining to be identified as they were not authorised to speak with media. “It clearly means that China doesn’t need U.S. beans.” Trump clearly has a kindred friend in "Argentina’s president Javier Milei is facing his administration’s worst alleged corruption scandal – involving none other than his hugely influential sister, Karina – less than two months before key legislative elections. For more than a week, news in the country has been dominated by audio recordings in which a former government official is heard discussing the alleged payment of bribes linked to the purchase of medicines for people with disabilities." Bribery and corruption. What could appeal to Trump and his supporters any more?

I own a Vector 348 and am renting a Pilot 188 ZPX, have a PD 160 reserve. I am renting the canopy from a Master rigger who is highly regarded- he verified it was going to fit and would be safe to jump in that size container. It is a brand new canopy, I have been learning to pack with it, jumping it both with other packers packing it for me and also packing and jumping it myself a few times. There have been no problems with the bag extracting or the canopy coming out of the bag so far. Am using the original D bag that came with the V348 It was fitted with a near new Sabre2 170 that I packed for practiced a few times before getting the Pilot 188 ZPX. Feels very similar to pack into the container as that did- both are a full fit. I had to work about the same to close the container for each canopy type. Neither are fun to pack yet. The Pilot ZPX that is brand spanking new is extremely slippery, not even close to fun to pack or bag. It is not easy for me to pack, I am slow and I take my time. And sometimes swear when packing But openings have been sweet. Bear in mind this is just my opinion based on what I have felt and seen packing it as a less experienced skydiver, and that I took advice from a rigger that knows his stuff. UPT do say the V348 is a full fit with a LPV Pulse 190 which is also equivalent or so pack volume to a Sabre2 170. Talk to a rigger you trust about it. Hope this is helpful. :)
