If you like them so much just buy some. They are discontinued, but there are still plenty of new ones available.

We will not take the dotard when he shows up at the border looking for political asylum. And we aren't taking Beiber back either. Just sayin'.

Well, as far as I know impeachment is a political matter not a legal matter. So no, Congress is not a court and it is not a jury. BTW, Congress is elected on a two year cycle not a 4 year cycle. Representatives answer to their constituents. They may decide to go home and talk to the people before deciding, but they certainly don't have to. It's more like the House of Commons deciding if the PM still has the confidence of the majority of members.

Of course there is recourse, it's called an election.

I've never seen one. But it's apparently "German engineered and manufactured in the USA". It's TSO'd and therefore should be safe. (Many will laugh at that!) The website is here: https://www.flyfirebird.com/fb/canopies It is most likely a reliable product, but I will say one thing against it. That is simply that because it is not a well known product if you ever need to sell it you will probably have a hard time and you will find a limited market for it. Which means it will not hold it's value as well as a more common reserve. This is totally unfair, but there is no getting around it. Unless it is priced cheaper than other more well known canopies it is not in your financial interest to buy one. I can see at their website that they are offered big discounts to "influencers" in an effort to become established as a brand. They list the top high volume gear stores as dealers. Ask for a discount or just pass, the salesman is likely pushing you toward this brand because he will make more commission. All that said the product is probably just fine, and I would not hesitate to jump it. There is one review of it on this site under the "gear" heading. I just read the manual for the product. It is a poorly translated from German into English kludge. It also contains this nugget: 32. Allowable Service Life On the condition that the parachute is in accordance with the regulations and has been handled corresponding to the instructions contained in this Equipment Handbook, the allowable service life is 15 years and can be periodically be extended by the manufacturer This would seem to apply to the EVO container as well. There is no separate manual for the reserve canopy, just a combined manual. Until this company gets it's act together I would advise you and anyone else considering this product in North America to just say no thanks.

Now who you jivin' with that cosmic debris?

It's so freaking petty and small minded that it may as well be the same as hating the New England Patriots just because they win too often. America is just too well off and Americans have so much time on their hands to work on their hate. Life is boring without something to get worked up about.

A tariff war is pretty much a guaranteed way to cause a downturn. Winning a hot war is a great way to pump up any economy. The dismal science is not completely without answers.

Trump said. “He didn’t die a hero. He died a coward.” Says Cadet bone spurs, great American coward.

Yes, it is meaningless to claim that senators would do the right thing if only they did not have to answer for it. The same claims could be made about almost any vote in any legislative chamber.

I believe it was to protect the health insurance industry and to prevent poor people from receiving medical care that they don't deserve because they can't pay for it.

I'm not sure why murder is illegal. It hasn't stopped it yet. Why bother with police at all? There is still crime.

I do feel that the years and years of bashing and hate building done to her by right wing media personalities were effective on her in a way that would not have worked as well against a man. She was basically given an image as a harridan that she could not shake. So many otherwise reasonable men who post here have stated that they didn't like her so much that they would not vote for her, even against Trump.

It's nearly impossible to know what effect being female had on Hillary's candidacy. What is known is that she is not particularly likeable in a group like a politician needs to be. Competence is not enough, apparently it is not even required.

Yup, that's a stupid system alright.

Well, yes to all of that. And yet here you are.

Enough Americans felt that a trade war, a wall, and packing the courts with conservatives were all sound policy positions. Not a majority, but enough. Trump was elected because his supporters wanted his policies enacted. Sometimes populists are popular.

Hunter's plum position getting 50K/month for being his father's son was not illegal. However, it is going to cost his father the nomination. Biden is dead in the water now. The smell is not going away. Unlike Rs, ethics matter a little bit to Ds.

I think it's fairly clear that you don't care that much for the dotard. It's even more clear that you think he is better than Obama or any D I could name.

So, you want to call atheists “bigoted dickheads”? But you consider yourself some sort of pure hearted believer? What you really represent is the reason Christianity needs to either change or be resisted. Which is exactly what is happening.

The last time someone’s death made me feel more or less that way was bin Laden’s. If Trump were to die today I would certainly not be sad about it. But I would not be celebrating. Especially since that would mean President Pence.

Those feelings are usually called “ flash backs”.

It's sounds a lot like an acid trip.

My parents went to church when we were kids, and dragged us to Sunday school. It didn't stick to any of the 4 of us. Both my parents stopped attending years ago. We don't speak about it, but I would assume they are now basically agnostic. My children expressed some curiosity about religion because they grew up hearing about it from some of their friends, so they explored a little but soon figured out that it is a scam. My grand children probably won't even get that far. From where I experience life, God is dead.

Yes, I get it. It's just like a gang or the mob. Once you are in there is no out except by death. It's also the same as Islamic custom. Being born again is simply accepting an extremist ideology and joining with the other extremists.
