  1. Please be careful about how you use the word “we”.

    Trump

    Wouldn’t that make him ineligible for the term he is serving now?
  3. If Walmart “eats the tariffs” doesn’t that defeat the purpose of them? I don’t understand. And apparently neither does the dotard.
  4. His decision to run again and the failure of anyone in the party to stand up and expose his state of degradation led directly to the situation today. People with a lust to hold onto power. Just like the other side.
  5. Did D officials do anything about sleepy Joe?
  6. I think you are missing the fact that most on the right are believers who do indeed know for sure that their policies are best for their society. Most of them are sincere. Which is why they also believe that the ends justify the means.

    Yes, the Cardinals just don't get it. Well, actually they probably do get it by now but they don't care. Likely because they are all just as guilty of turning a blind eye.

    Trump

    Most films can be made anywhere. So many are made in locations that give financial incentives to film makers, as you know. The real question is do you want to force film production to be only in the US for those being shown in the US market? The international market is actually now larger than the US market and most revenue for the big budget productions comes from outside of the US. Or, do you want a tariff war on films that fragments the market and forces less expensive productions to be the only ones made.
  9. That sounds a lot like another poster here who insisted he may as well vote for the R team because "they are all just as bad as each other". AKA rationalization.
  10. Ever the right is not that crazy here. But they seem to be crazy enough to be claiming the liberals won because of support from Trump. I’m not sure exactly how they have come to that conclusion. But I guess they need to blame it on something other than their policies.
  11. I knew people who lost their lives. On the other hand my wife made a good amount of extra money working overtime in ICU. And trucking was good.
  12. The outrage from the right side of the spectrum has already started. They can not believe that their team had failed once more. Predictions of the collapse of society are flying everywhere.
  13. Some Americans may be aware that today is Election day in Canada. Of course the Dotard just could not resist a tweet... “Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America,” Trump wrote Monday. To which I quote Burton Cummings. "Coloured lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else's eyes. Now woman, stay away. American woman, listen what I say."
  14. If you worked in one of the over run hospital ICUs who managed to save many lives at the absolute edge of their capacity during the peak, with all elective surgeries cancelled and all available resources being used you may think the lockdown and "bending the curve" was worth it. In the perfect 20/20 vision of hindsight it may have gone on longer than needed in some places.
  15. I just packed one into an older Javelin this week. I pack it every year. Yellow and not labelled FCI, old enough to be Glidepath. My customer weighs about 180 and he had a ride on it last year. Uneventful landing. Some people seem to think that PDRs are the oldest reserves that work. They are wrong.
  16. There is nothing new here except of course the banner it is being published under. The reins have been taken over by conspiracy believers. But how is that worse than theology believers? Where is RonD when I need him to explain?
  17. Kerry was no good because of inadequacy as a swift boat commander. Hilary was no good because she is a harridan. Kamala has a funny name and a weird laugh. The machine has no problem identifying the D deficiencies and exploiting them to the point that a dotard is certainly a better choice.
  18. Of course they are. The problem is not the people. It turns out there is a flaw in the system. Namely the basics of the Constitution. When it was set up and the power was divided up in a way that all the states could agree on the union was not the mighty powerhouse it is today. Instead of the power going to the people directly it went to the people through the individual states. This ended up concentrating power in the hands of a man called Trump instead of one called Washington as originally envisioned. With no practical way to remove him. I can see no easy solution at this time. One day, but not soon, there is going to be a second revolution and the nation will become more democratic. Either that or it will break up.
  19. The future is looking a little cloudy for the USA. The national debt is too high and that combined with the madness and wavering in policy is beginning to cause a lessening of confidence in the safety of the dollar. Good leadership and a little willingness to prioritize the things that matter are obviously not in the short term plan and probably not in the longer term either. Hopefully things at least stabilize after the fever breaks when the clown show finally ends. Most likely this marks the end of an era but what the new era brings is a very open question.
  20. I was going to jump in, but then I remembered this is not SC.
  21. It is not the same. Just as wearing a fig leaf is not the same as being naked. But it may as well be.
  22. It's caused by the same thing that causes wokism and TDS.
  23. I find it somewhat telling that even you acknowledge that an ICE enforcement team justifies more hysteria than one responding to a possible active shooter.
