Yeah, but they are merely MINO's. :) I'm going to share the following link. I find it interesting that it encompasses poll type/politician/institution in the dropdowns and then reports who did the research and who funded the research. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/ As to your points on JFK vs. Nixon, etc. We all learn by looking back "retrospectively." Unfortunately, that doesn't help in the decision making for future leadership. I've voted for Democrats - admittedly on a local level primarily because they were more fiscally conservative than their republican opponents professed. Anyway, I don't think either team has a good choice and am faced with not voting for a P at all.

No argument - especially on the two examples provided. However, when it comes to the nation's leadership; I'm going to do some research and come to my own conclusions.

Cry havoc . . .

So, we're not boiling frogs anymore?

And, she exiled to Russia and asked Putin to expedite her citizenship after receiving death threats, Uh huh.

Yes. I'm willing to explore it.

I'm glad to maintain my sense of open-mindedness to receive and consider good ideas from both sides of the aisle.

Ahhh, the old tired of the schtick routine.

What is that? I had to look it up and came up with a "Japanese raincoat made of straw."

No worries, Jerry. It was sarcasm and good for a couple of pages of "riled up."

Ummmm... you're kinda making one of the main pro-gun points.

Your googlefu broke? Take each one and put Biden in front of it. Then become an informed reader. No argument. Both of them are pieces of shit that I won't vote for . . . And, be honest; you're just voting for the lesser. That's where we're at. Not who we're "for;" who we're against.

I know, right?

Truth: [18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3)] atf-ruling-2010-1_0.pdf

I thought your team liked Biden.

Curtis, you're profile lists you as jumping at AZ, with two jumps. It would be irresponsible for someone on the Internet to guide you on a purchase at this time. There are great Instructors and Riggers at the DZ there. Please ask them to give you some guidance on what you should be jumping this early. We don't know your skillset. My advice to new jumpers has always been - Finish your A License and then let's sit down and talk about gear choices. And, we would begin with your reserve size first and build a rig around that.

Aaaaah, so you're a Libertarian.

I'm in favor of a balanced budget act/law/amendment.

I agree.

The first paragraph meant more as a Deming Systems approach.

The real issue is - raising taxes to throw more money at a governmental agency that does not embark on a path of continuous improvement, process enhancement, and quality of service for their "customers." e.g., Today's VA is no where near the VA of the Vietnam war era. A lot of veterans had to die in the system before metrics were introduced, They HAD to come up with performance improvements. They should all have to do that and realize the "customers" are not there for them. They are there for the customers.

Yesterday morning, in the link I provided, at the top of the page, in the overview, it said, "forcibly contribute . . ." After reading your post, I went back and re-read it, but the overview had changed.

I went back and re-read it a couple of times and I still read it as coercion (as in ) and that may be because when you read the overview, "forcibly" . . .so as I read it as; the same manner of pedo, sex trafficking, etc, But, that's not to say that I don't see your point also and would agree the language is not well presented. .

THIS is the exact reason I don't interact on here anymore. You got ONE somewhat right. Somewhat right - IF someone, IF Anyone tries to forcibly transition a kid https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB2885&year=2024&code=R You got this from a news article - what it actually says is ALL flags other than the US or State of Tennessee flag in public schools, but the whole inflammatory BLM, Nazi, KKK, support of the white supremacist to destroy ALL those black and gay children was necessary - for what?. https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Billinfo/default.aspx?BillNumber=HB1605&ga=113 Scratching my head - According to the Florida Senate it relates to condominiums: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/154/?Tab=BillHistory Whew. This is just so wrong that I'm attaching the entire bill. But, you get liberal points for including, right-wing terrorists, Aryan nation, KKK and AoG in the same sentence. Really? Cause it reads like trying to protect the children and nothing about immunity. In fact, it requires teachers to take courses in use, protection, security and storage. Cause, ya know, you guys won't write your congress critters about gun responsibility. https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/HB0119.html I don't get you guys anymore. S1220.pdf
