  1. What I really wonder is why the OP chose this forum to post a “Happy Airborne Day” thread.

    Trump

    When you have nothing to lose you grab at straws. Applies to both of them.
  3. When you do your best to alienate people and it works.
  4. Thanks for taking the time TK. I couldn't be bothered myself.
  5. Please take this off topic semi-coherent drivel and irrelevant YouTube link elsewhere.

    That stock price will closely track the perceived odds of Trump winning the election.
  7. The senate was designed to give equal amounts of power to each state. No matter the population. I would imagine it was another one of the needed compromises to get 13 colonies of unequal size to all agree to be a single nation and not several independent ones.
  8. Last night at the convention she wore a tan suit. More proof of her impeccable sense of history and irony.
  9. Even better, the D party will almost certainly regain control of the House and then speaker Jeffries will take over control. The Senate may still be out of reach, but not as far as it was. It just depends on how motivated people are against forced birth laws.
  10. That's not praise. Please try to stay on topic. And most likely she will serve 8 years as POTUS and leave a record of extreme competence.
  11. I have accumulated eleven names total on my ignore list. Only one of which is someone who actually still posts here. You?
  12. We do not see what sanctions have been imposed. Going off topic is not a mortal sin, only a venial one.
  13. I volunteered for the army on my birthday. They draft the white trash first around here anyway. I done two tours of duty in Vietnam and I came home with a brand new plan.
  14. Time magazine has good things to say, and so did Trump https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/13/kamala-time-magazine-cover-melania/74779474007/ Joe Rogan is a fan. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/13/kamala-time-magazine-cover-melania/74779474007/
  15. This would be a fun one to ask you to back up with examples. You rhetoric is becoming quite florid.

    Trump

    There are people in place at the state level who may try to subvert the will of the people if it is close enough that they can make the difference.

    Trump

    Coup's require the military to participate. They require a power base within the establishment willing to throw caution to the wind and risk it all. After the nearly successful assassination attempt it is pretty clear that he does not even have the power to maintain his security. A genuine coup attempt is not something he could escape the consequences of. There could be a crisis of a street type demonstration turning into an attempt at not a coup but a revolution. And it would leave ant huge scar on the nation. But it could not succeed because the people who control the power would not support it. A dose of reality is called for here. Trump does not and never has had that level of support. The people who could make such a thing happen are all in comfortable positions in the most powerful state the world has ever seen. They are not going to throw that away for the deranged orange buffoon. The power that he does have comes from his ability to get votes, especially primary votes. Without votes he can not and will not prevail. The reason he is running a poor campaign is that he is a poor candidate who will not take advice from anyone. Most of the R party leaders will pounce on him once he is crippled. Like rats from a sinking ship.

    Whadda ya mean? Evil Nancy had him impeached! Oh yeah, I forgot that's meaningless in today's USA.

    Trump

    He has always been careful to just walk up to a line and not go over it. Or at least not over it enough that he can't throw his minions under the bus and walk away. There will be a few protests, no rebellion.
  20. Even if it was more uniform the same people would be up in arms over theology and what branch others belong to. It has always been the same, only the names have changed.

    Trump

    Well....he will have a much harder time of it considering that he will not be in possession of the levers of power like he was at that time. Is he going to threaten to have his crowd hang the Veep?
  22. Not even to be "fashionable"? Some of the things I've seen people who don't really have a clue about how hard this is on those who are suffering are indeed just plain absurd.

    Tim Walz

    Now this. On top of everything else about the man. This is Tim Walz' restored 1979 International Scout. It's his only personal vehicle.
  24. Transphobia? The fear that allowing this sort of behavior is going to undermine their society and even worse, make them feel uncomfortable possibly even self conscious.
