  1. Hopefully the Canadian military leadership is studying this.

    He needs a nickname. How about Brownie? Works on a couple levels.

    It is not hard to understand, it’s rather simple. They like his policies better than those of any alternatives. It’s not like they actually have to personally interact with the man.
  4. I was just informed of a price increase on a European made AAD that is being blamed on the 10% tariff being imposed on imports into the USA. Of course I am in Canada, but the distributor of the product is in the US. I will be exploring the possibility of bypassing the North American distributor, or perhaps direct shipping to Canada.
  5. Not a problem. They will just lower executive pay to make up the shortfall.
  6. One of the strengths (which can also be seen as a weakness) of USA politics is the fact that there is no federally controlled electoral system. It would be hard for a POTUS to stop or control 50 independent state systems like Marcos, or Putin.
  7. No, but it does need to be a temporary assignment, not a permanent job.
  8. Why not telephone and elevator operators as well? But seriously how would these incentives work?
  9. What decade are you living in?
  10. How long? Probably about 2 months before the mid term elections.

    Damned eggheads ruin everything.
  12. Pretty much had to. There was nothing you or Nancy or Chuck really could have done. The man was still strong enough to be stubborn and the only real argument was that he could not last four years. Just like with RBG stubborn pride screwed the nation and it is only themselves that are to blame. Actually Biden should not have been nominated in 2019 either. And that is where the party went wrong.
  13. I can remember doing so. Actually I remember that many people knew that all along. But once it became clear that he was going to run anyway everyone just grabbed onto the thin straw of hope that it would work out. Politicians are vain by nature. You have to be to go through what they must. Biden is no different.
  14. Please be careful about how you use the word “we”.

    Wouldn’t that make him ineligible for the term he is serving now?
  16. If Walmart “eats the tariffs” doesn’t that defeat the purpose of them? I don’t understand. And apparently neither does the dotard.
  17. 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.
  18. Did D officials do anything about sleepy Joe?
  19. 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.

    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.
  22. 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.
