    Trump

    Me neither and I’ve tried recording it and playing it backwards but no joy. BillVon seems bound to engage him so I’m guessing he gets paid a little each time and that keeps the forum going.
  2. True but if I can confuse some well meaning sort to where they’re willing to stand on the corner with a sign saying “He’ll no, I already went!”, where’s the harm?
  3. How anyone could have confidence in the Democrats do so even one smart thing is now a mystery. I won’t be surprised if they nominate AOC. Optics can be bad, true, but demonstrations aren’t a guaranteed loser.
  4. You be nice to Keith, ain't his fault he's all fucked up!
  5. I have. All talk, seems to me: asking for money, lobbying etc. If I thought 10,000 Skydivers throwing a hissy fit would capture Americas attention I'd be in but it wouldn't. On the other hand 10,000 uniformed retired US soldiers decrying the pulverization of our Constitution in the public square would be news and get interviews and just might inspire some politicians.
  6. Misplaced sarcasm with a dollop of misdirection I thought. Maybe I’m out of line and just plain wrong but I think an uprising by our vets could make a difference. Marches, gatherings, interviews on the news etc. might have a positive effect. The real problem, I think, is that too many aren’t convinced that things are going in the wrong direction.
  7. So you agreed with the protesters motives and actions? Seriously what do you believe? Is it that as odious as things are and as much harm to innocents as is happening all in all good things are happening that wouldn’t otherwise so let’s just wait and see?
  8. Stand not for me but for the democracy and constitution you swore an oath to protect. The idea of moving to Australia was decades ago but the idea is certainly being reborn today, just not Oz this go. Think of it like a protest vote.
  9. We liked Yallingup above every other place in Oz we looked at for emigration. I’ll guess prices are higher now.
  10. Because you have heirs that will be affected and hope springs eternal. World events happen at speeds that are often too fast or too slow for most to perceive. Here we have bits of both. Simply there is no reason to think things will get better anytime soon. Just be rational and think about what will happen when he ignores a Supreme Court decision. We really don’t have options except our military. And that , sport fans, is why I keep hammering BIGUN: thank you for your service but now please stand up or say that you agree with this erosion of our democracy or are willing to put your service in defense of America.
  11. And I think you SF guys should exercise your second amendment rights, form a militia, and march somewhere, anywhere, to make a point. Sadly, Andy of Mayberry is also retired so we're running out of options.

    Measles

    That’s not even one per parsec from here to our sun. Measles alarmists!
  13. While were on pause, just take a look at this brain dead cosplaying an ICE agent. I can only guess someone told her no horse this time. Only the best people.
  14. Mr. Wood, welcome to the forum. By way of proper introduction to a group who are well familiar with each other, please flesh out your true jump and life experience so we can enjoy you properly.
  15. No, but the next explanation works, too: he's a complete dumbass with insane visions of grandiosity.
  16. Too many big words. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,”
  17. I think the issue is less one of racism and more one of force fed dumbism.
  18. Sounds like a winner. You can toss your medals over the fence and I'll chuck a few wine corks. Although it might take more than two of us to reach effective mass. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
  19. The bit about turning the planes around in flight wasn't a part of the written order according to the news. Not that I think they won't ignore those as well shortly.
  20. Got me, possibly I've just come to enjoy a few history lessons and German adverbial conjunctions with a point made. That, and I don't think he is simply a follower of a malevolent leader because he thinks woke is a joke, and a chunk of it is, or because when he does his sums he thinks dramatically increasing our national debt will surely kill us whereas it's just a probability with Trump.
  21. Pretty much anything short of thank you for your service rankles you. Tell you what, in appreciation for my freedom I'll also join the million oenophile march to restore democracy in America which is certain to make an impression. It's just too bad we don't have uniforms and the natural respect of the nation to add force to our concerns.
  22. Thanks Keith, but thats the thing I won't let you skate on until you tell me f'off. When will you and your community rise up in defense of our democracy? If there was a Million Skydiver march on Washington in opposition of Trumps policies about skydiving I'd be in. But how can you and your ex-military buddies separate yourselves intellectually from Trumps harms to the VA, and now Arlington etc..? Your opposition is meaningful to the point of saving our democracy. When are you in?
