10 years later many things have changed. Only readjustment I need is to be able to say "enough". And absolutely I mocked Barry. He was stupid enough to draw a line in the sand and then back down. Sometimes when you do that all you end up with is a sandy stick. If you want to continue to fight ISIS that's fine. I don't think there's much left to go after. Asking the military if we should continue is like your boss asking you if your job should be eliminated. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I say great move. We've been dicking around in Afghanistan for 18 years. Syria is just a dark abyss waiting for us to fall in. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Agree with most of what's been said here. Christmas is a commercial activity designed to make people spend money. I believe there might be a police action on heterosexuality. The dust up over Baby It's Cold Outside is but one example. Seems if you have a penis and like to have sex with women...

Mainly because she's a woman. Not that that's the primary reason, but that's the easiest avenue for them to take. Note that Iago talked about her like one would talk to a dog. Such minimization and dehumanization will play a big part in the right's attacks on her. She'll be called a clueless girl, compared to a dog, told she can't handle it, told that she is "hysterical" when she disagrees etc. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) : “You look at this girl, Ocasio-Cortez or whatever she is . . ." I disagree, sort of. She's a lightweight. No degree other that an undergrad from a good school, no real professional chops, just some experience in education and political social justice issues. I do agree that Republicans are going after her because they think she represents all that is wrong with millennials and yes, they're playing up the points you cover. One could at least expect that someone elected to congress would know the three branches of government. You guys love to point out the stupid Rs...back atcha. Please don't dent the planet.

Point was easily debunked. Dow performs better under Democrat presidents than Republican presidents for the last 6 presidents at least. Should also note that since Trump's tax plan went into effect the DOW is down 2,000 points or over -7%. Republicans are bad for economic performance and generally bad for stock returns. And once again you miss the point. If you only look at the numbers in the drop it looks bad. When you consider the % of the drop not so much. My point is that it seems to be OK when considering gun violence in Chiraq... Look up, already showed you that % increase in the dow under Clinton and Obama beats % increase in dow under Trump, Bush, Bush and Reagan. Again, DOW percentage increases more under D president than R president for the last 6. Wow...I'm not disputing that. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I took the time read far enough to conclude that it is nothing but horsepuckey. Just like when I read Ron's link to the point where it also is nothing but horsepuckey. If you choose to believe this type of stuff, that is your choice; good luck with that type of thinking as you continue thru life. Jerry Baumchen Hehe...keep up with the arrogance. You would be so lucky to have my life...I know I am. Problem here is the original topic of this conversation was the Dow. Since my point couldn't be countered effectively your usual cast of characters needed to change the subject and here we are. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Well, I didn't. But the UN inspection teams found nothing to indicate that he was making any. Or that he had anything usable. Everything that was found, from 2000 or so on, was old, damaged & degraded and unusable. More dangerous to anyone trying to use (or even move) it than to any adversary. SH may have been trying to hold onto some of it, but, kinda like parking a car, if you don't store it properly, it won't be of any use after a while. I'm not debating his intentions here. But for people to run around and say there were no WMD...ignorant. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Please tell us how you can determine the location of something that does not exist? Jerry Baumchen PS) This is on par with Ron's 'Who really killed JFK' stupidity. Well Jerry if you don't take the time to read the article I can't be of assistance with your particular brand of stupidity. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

You sound a bit like a "dead ender" on that. Even the people who made the claims at the time now admit their error. You didn't read the article which clearly shows the locations of the WMD? I'm not re-hashing the whole W, Condeleeza, Powell, Rumsfeld side of this or whether there was an active program. Doesn't change the facts of the situation at the time. Please don't dent the planet.

You believe what you want. Bottom line for me is there were/are WMD in Iraq. In 2003 I'm certain you possessed a crystal ball that told you SH would never use those in any way against us. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

IIRC they were the same people that thought GWB's "evidence" to justify invading Iraq was actually true. Funny...the Times seems to think there are WMD's in Iraq. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/14/world/middleeast/us-casualties-of-iraq-chemical-weapons.html Please don't dent the planet.

Correct. I had 2 reserve rides over lost puds. Still a Racer fan but it does appear they have been moved off to the bin with lame responses to problems like the one in the vid. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Still not seeing where tariffs had anything to do with this. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I expect nothing less from the usual cast of characters here. You really believe Mary Barra walked into the conference room yesterday and dropped this bomb? They've been planning this for years. Pre-tax profits in 2017 for its North American operations was 11.9 billion. Tariffs are not the reason this happened. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Already gone...long before 2016. When did Trump say those jobs were not already gone? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

No worries. Factory jobs were already gone. Any that come back will be icing. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

But the majority of Trump supporters don't see that as a bad thing, and you'll never convince them otherwise. I doubt that the majority of Trump supporters even realize that tariffs are taxes that they end up paying. Difference is you have choice not to pay the tax... It is cute that you think that. Does it help you cope? No need to cope. I'm doing fine thanks. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

"Sparks from damaged or malfunctioning power lines operated by PG&E, a state-regulated electric utility, may have been to blame for the Camp Fire’s ignition amidst rugged federally-managed lands to the east of Paradise."
