There you go again, implying that I am a republican. I am nothing of the sort, so stop it. I am staunchly independent and not corrupted by any ideology. Yes, you are not espousing typical R ideas. You seem to be very Trumpian though. Trump is also not an ideologue. He is an opportunist and a reactionary. And although you may not consider yourself part of the R base, you are definitely part of the Trump base. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Not replying for Bill, but for myself. It is definitely a possibility at some future time. There is a good chance he has done things in the past that are impeachable. Like perhaps money laundering. But just like a good Mafia boss he is hard to pin down. There is a reason that he wants his business dealings to stay outside of any scrutiny.

Hilarious story about Cohen's feelings: https://www.npr.org/2018/08/22/640795902/michael-cohens-lawyer-says-hed-never-accept-a-pardon-from-president-trump He says he would reject a pardon from such a corrupt person as the POTUS.

Impeachment would be the ultimate political act. It could only happen if the Senate was convinced that they would be more likely to be re-elected than defeated if they voted for it. Like Nixon, Trump would resign if this was a possibility. The main people even talking about impeachment are Republicans trying to stir up anger among the base. Like you.

You very obviously know little about the matter. Trump imposed world wide tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports as a response to the oversupply in world markets caused by Chinese over production. Canada just got caught in the same net as everyone else. YOU must know very little. The trade war and tariffs are a direct result of Canada refusing to renegotiate the abomination called NAFTA. Canada has been ripping us off for a long time. Apparently you are unaware that Canada is re-negotiating NAFTA right now. Canada is currently running a trade deficit with the USA. We generally export raw materials and import finished goods from the USA. We used to run a large surplus, but that was because the US had a huge need to import our oil. That is not the case right now. Like most Americans you have only a very shallow understanding of US-Canada trade. And that is not surprising considering the relative size and importance of the relationship to each country. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

And here is the fatal flaw in your reasoning^. Okay. Maybe not all of us. Just the vast majority. I certainly hope you are not considering committing an act of violence in support of your extreme views. It will not accomplish any of your goals. It did not work for Dylan Roof, it did not work for Edgar Maddison Welch,it did not work for James Alex Fields, or Nichols or McVeigh or any of the other violent right wing "leftist haters" who tried to start revolution. And it won't start working for anyone else. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You very obviously know little about the matter. Trump imposed world wide tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports as a response to the oversupply in world markets caused by Chinese over production. Canada just got caught in the same net as everyone else. Your hatred of "leftists" is obvious. You misunderstanding of just what the word means and who leftist are is also obvious. Opposing tariffs (which are actually taxes) is a very conservative tradition. Leftists on the other hand usually support them as they see them as good for the union workers. You should try doing some learning. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Okay then. Take a deep breath. Now, follow you own advice and study history and the conditions that brought about bloody wars and revolutions. Then look around you at how well off, fat and satisfied most people in the USA and Canada really are. We are all far too well off to even consider ourselves oppressed to the point of needing to fight. That word "hyperbole" that I keep using? Your post is almost a dictionary example of what it means. I can assure you Canada is not falling apart. It's doing quite well thank you very much. Although I can partly agree with you that America currently has a wannabe "tyrant" as POTUS. Fortunately the "Deep State" is limiting his ability to do mischief. Of course, as an American (At least I assume you are. Your profile gives no indication as to who you may be) you should be well acquainted with what happens when you meddle in others affairs. Your country has a very long and extensive history of doing just that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The Saudi Prince reacted to a tweet sent out by a Canadian official by starting a war of words to stir up his population and distract from domestic issues. Almost Trumpian. Economic war with the USA? Are you making some sort of threats? Or just engaging in more over the top hyperbole? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

There you go again with the scary talk and the hyperbole. Trump is a disgrace to the USA. It's not "leftist extremists" who desperately want the madness to end. It's large numbers of all sides of society, left and right. Yes, there may be a few nutballs out there who may engage in right wing terrorist acts, but the American justice system is strong enough to shut them down as quickly as the Charlottesville rioters were shut down. The unfortunate situation that exists now will be resolved peacefully one way or another. There will be loud gnashing of teeth and groans of complaint, but the nightmare will end. And just quit bitching about extremists. It is not in anyway extreme to recognize just what Trump is. You just have to look at his behavior on record for many decades. Wanting a better person than Trump as POTUS is normal thinking. Nowhere near any extreme. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Hitler was more honest, less of a crook and liar, and had better hair than the Dotard.

He certainly can and he will still call it a witch hunt. It is after all primarily an investigation into Russia's involvement and co-ordination with the campaign. I know that the terms include "other matters as they arise". The fact that they have been able to show that his associates have tax cheats and fraudsters among them will not surprise anyone. I'm still waiting for evidence of significant wrong doing by the leader of the coven. It may come, but it's not here yet.

I still don't see any evidence of anything that would justify impeaching the Dotard. Unless you count sheer incompetence. But he was known to be incompetent when he was elected, so that seems unjustified. But he must be going out of his mind tonight. Can't wait to hear about the AM tweets. I really don't think he can take the pressure too much longer. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I know little about PEPs. However, I can find manuals for several Strong bail out rigs and manuals from AeroSport. But no Strong Aerosport manual. Look here http://www.parachutemanuals.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=42

The biggest problem with that question is pretty obvious. It's the fact that you believe in "the left". As if there is a single identifiable enemy for your version of "the right". There are plenty of people on the right who see the dotard for what he is. His enemies list goes far beyond "the left". Trump was not in a conspiracy with Russia. The Russians are far smarter than that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Australia has 25 million people. It really doesn't matter what they do about their carbon emissions, it will have almost no effect. So why bother? And this is the exact same position taken by conservative US people as well. I don't really understand why these people are called conservatives though. They are not into conserving at all. Just consuming. Edit to add, Canadians are no different in this regard. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Yes, now they have the Dotard. Somehow, for reasons that I can't understand the current POTUS is a man who can not tell the truth about anything. All that comes out of both his mouth and keyboard are bald faced lies. Yet his supporters love him because he "tells it like it is". Go figure.

So then, one more time. What promise did they make to you and then break?

From my POV he did not "save the day". He may have prevented a car from being stolen. His actions led to a near fatal car accident and then to the thief being shot. In no jurisdiction is being shot the penalty for theft. If the gun was not present the man would not have approached them aggressively and they would not have fled and likely no one would be hurt.

What did they promise you? I just checked both the individual membership page and the group membership page. No where do they make any promise to enforce any rules. That is because they have no power or mandate to do so. They ask GMs to make a pledge. They will look into it if it can be shown that they have broken their pledge. If a committee deems it egregious enough they may take action. That is already more than anyone promised. Compliance and standards in this sport are aspirational. My feeling is that your (and others) objection really boils down to resentment of the small yearly fee you are forced to pay. The fact that you can afford it is beside the point. It is an affront to you. And I will say it again because people have been missing it. No one is forced to jump at a DZ that requires you to buy a membership. It's merely your most convenient option. Two things that are not ever going to happen are DZOs deciding that they are better off without requiring memberships, and USPA deciding to separate themselves from the main source of their revenue. If you owned a DZ you would do the exact same thing. Wouldn't you? I mean really, think about that. It's not a perfect system. Starting another organization is not a real option. If you did your ratings would not be recognized internationally. The FAI will only deal with one group per nation.

Seriously, the kind of strong organization that could force everyone to obey rules would need to look like the FAA. And be funded at a much higher level than your small membership fee. What you are asking for is compliance. That only comes through accountability and enforcement. Be careful what you wish for. Do you want inspectors?
