    Hi folks, Time to run the white flag up over the White House. Re: The president had, in the first 30 minutes of the debate, fully affirmed doubts about his fitness.

    Hi Ken, As stated in the other thread: Gavin Newsom at the top & Gretchen Whitmer as V-P. The hell with the primaries, circle the wagons & get a pair to defeat Trump. Amy K is very competent but not electable. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, I'll say this about Trump: He may be going the wrong way on the race track but he is going like a bat out of hell. Also, he cannot say a seven word sentence & remember where he started. It's all red meat to his supporters. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, I am no political guru, but IMO for those undecided who have concerns about Biden making it thru another four yrs; well, he made their minds up for them. I'm two yrs older than Joe & I could have out-performed him by a couple of lengths. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, While it is commentary, I watched the NBCNews wrap-up. Kristen Welker, who is the hostess of MEET THE PRESS, was reading from some notes of hers about various members of the DNC cringing & openly discussing moving to a different nominee. * I fully expect to see Joe call it quits after the 4th. I'll submit Gavin Newsom & Gretchen Whitmer for my choice going forward. I do not want see a contest thru the primaries & right up to the DNC convention. IMO the smart move it to pick a two-some soon & get them out there taking on Trump. Jerry Baumchen * This was just as the debate ended.

    Hi folks, Some just posted this in another thread: The simpler the better Over the yrs I have often thought about this. There is also the KISS principle. And, the more complex, the greater the potential for failure. This brings me to my thoughts on the simplest setup: - The rig would use a semi-exposed pilot chute [ Jav, Wings ] to reduce the flaps to push away - The reserve canopy would be a 26 ft Navy Conical with no diaper - less things to go wrong & a very strong canopy I know that few of you would agree; so, let's hear your thoughts. This might be fun, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Other than the die-hards & zealots, the GOP knows that they have a loser; even if he should win in Nov. They're just setting themselves up for what they know could easily happen. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Re: It is not their job to take a bullet for you or your grandchildren. Quite often, as I listen to someone speak on an issue, I often think of the old adage: It is all good until it is your ox that is getting gored. You just might want that LEO to take that bullet if it were your grandchild. I know I would. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Anyone, and I mean anyone, who thinks Trump cares about anyone other than himself is a total fool. Barnum was right. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Re: the pussies at Uvalde didn't respond in time. They could have saved many and I don't care what they said . . . they fucking stood there and listened while children died. I know that you served in the military, as I did. When I took the oath, to enlist, there was a part that said something about ' be willing to give my life in defense of my country.' I hesitated before I said that part. However, I never forgot it all the time I was in. We both know, that in a military action, sometimes good people have to die for the survival of the rest of us. I consider being a LEO the same thing. When you take that job, you must accept that you might die in the line of duty. As you said, the pussies at Uvalde failed everyone. End of rant, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: The sad truth is that average voters, as a whole, ain't too sharp As I have said for yrs: The average American voter is uninformed and prefers to stay that way. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO Joe Biden is too nice of a guy to go for Trump's throat. Even though I think this is what he should do. I hope his preppers are training him on how to get under Trump's skin. It is so easy to do, you just need to know how.

    Hi Keith, I think that this sums it up nicely, from your link: I am a conservative Republican, but I cannot stand the lying, the cheating, the illegal activities that Trump has perpetuated. We need a LOT more of these. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Now, here is a real MAGA-Man: his bragging about his firearms collection that he will never surrender But, when it came right down to it, he did surrender. So much for being a tough guy. Florida dentist charged with sending violent, racist messages (msn.com) When the chips are down, the MAGA folks are just cowards & bullies. Like their leader.
