  1. Do you mean it will take a while to burn the math texts in Florida? Kidding aside. In Russia the history of Stalin was re-written several times. Vladimir Putin’s Rewriting of History Draws on a Long Tradition of Soviet Myth-Making March 18, 2022 Smithsonian Magazine. Putin has already drafted a historical treatise of the Great Patriotic Victory over NATO, 2022. Coming to Russian TV s a mini-series soon. Also on PPV.
  2. The clock is winding backwards, America 1791 is just around the corner. Where is Ron, because the Faustian bargain his ilk made with trump paid off. Mitch McConnell has called the heroic act of disclosing this document. An attack on judicial independence."By every indication, this was yet another escalation in the radical left’s ongoing campaign to bully and intimidate federal judges and substitute mob rule for the rule of law," McConnell said.
  3. DeSantis has promised a new "open carry" law in Florida. Because Florida is such a dangerous state. The proposed legislation will allow open carry without any safety course. So get ready for Glocks on the DZ.
  4. The white, evangelical, religious right is winning in the US. There will always be Canada and Mexico for women.
  5. Why can many European countries have free university? Free health care? Yet still compete with America. Are Americans lazy, stupid, or just beholden to the GOP?
  6. Or go to school in a country that believes prosperity arises from an educated workforce. Free or under $1000 euro a year are abundant. But they have two big drawbacks. They are GOP and FOX news free.
  7. Because public funding for higher education has been slashed by the GOP. When you shrink funding by 1/2 its a given that the ratio would expand. A Truly Devastating Graph on State Higher Education Spending Some states have slashed per-student spending by as much as half. Some EU countries have free college education. But thanks to Rupert Murdoch and his FOX apparatchiks keeping the public ignorant has had its due pecuniary rewards. "The budget agreement maintains the post-sequester non-defense discretionary funding cap for 2016, slashing the 2016 funding level by $37.3 billion below the comparable President's request. But after 2016, the cuts get worse. Over ten years, the budget cuts non-defense funding by $496 billion below the cap levels, leading to a 21 percent loss of purchasing power by 2025". The combination of States cuts plus cuts in federal funding is entirely responsible for ballooning student and family debts for education.
  8. Ivy league and private institutions have not controlled costs.
  9. Neil Parish was a UK MP who just resigned from parliament for watching porn in the House of Commons. So different from the GOP. Where you get votes for having sex with minors and "grabbing pussy". As long as you can satisfy the Christian right with right amount of hate for LGBT people. Its all good..
  10. Just ask Brent! and his Facebook friends. Killing crops and killing people. Heat kills. lancet "Increased exposure to extreme heat is having deadly consequences for adults over 65. Heat-related illnesses caused an estimated 345,000 deaths in 2019, a new record. And, the annual number of heat-related deaths among older adults has increased dramatically in every region since 2005. (See the graph below.)"
  11. There are just too many Brents in Florida. You could do it. Just as one percent of salmon live to reproduce. There are politically active people here who act to help others unselfishly. Wendy as an example. I just think thats a battle with slim possibility of success.
  12. Florida, owns the government it deserves. Skydivers, the cheaper the jumps the better the DZ. If the next one is even cheaper, the herd is a coming. Political awareness and social responsibility among skydivers. Well those parameters are defined in these forums regularly. Joe, imagine a salmon swimming upstream. Now add dams and waterfalls. Your idea is that salmon.Sorry to be the dream crusher. You could tackle something more achievable. Turning Putin into a Buddhist monk. Turning trump into Mother Teresa.
  13. If conservatives react and therefor refuse to apply for admission. All the better. An education is wasted on the population that worships on the altar of ignorance.
  14. Y'all forgot steering contracts to Bubba, the brother of a GOP insider. Bailing out identifiable constituents with government subsidies.Redrawing districts, stacking courts, etc. GOP trying to make America's corruption ranking beat Russia's. By one place. Below the trump years and the US corruption index.
  15. Elon lost allot of money by not doing that. I was wrong about him when he launched the car company. Wrong about him when he launched SpaceX. For sure he is a lose cannon. Even a crackpot conservative. But I still admire what he's achieved. He will have to climb a big mountain to get the returns on twitter that he does on his other projects.
  16. Please quote where you found this. I find it a bit difficult to believe even for America.
  17. New Florida election DeSantisgestapo. I got nothing. I'd think the A/C would have to get to at least 1000 AGL to get above the stink of DeSantis pandering. "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill into law creating a new election police — officially called the “Office of Election Crimes and Security" — that will be responsible for looking into voter fraud accusations and other violations of election law. DeSantis signed the bill at a sports bar called “Rookies” in Pasco County amid a receptive crowd and lots of fellow Republicans. The budget he will sign (let’s assume sometime in late May) includes enough money ($2.6 million) to pay for 25 positions with the new effort."
  18. Perhaps trump views it like his brother Eric. Useful for idiots.
  19. trump social seems to be having problems. It goes offline for hours at a time for no reason. There was some speculation that site administrators were falling asleep. But after examining the pillows in the control room. Technicians found that Mike Lindell was not responsible. Just as he is not responsible for his mouth due to mental defect.
  20. Russia and the Russian people adore and respect strongmen. There is no core democratic belief that multi-racial and multi-cultural populations can be ruled by democracies. Many still rue for the days of Stalin. Perestroika was but a blip in Russian history. Thats not to say that there are not democratic believers in Russia. But they are few. Until Russia has a free, open, press and a transparent government. A majority of people who accept the cleansing of corruption benefits that free elections bring about. Russia will remain dangerous. As will China.
  21. Actually I was just reading about them the other day. They will be a bit of a abortion design. With many chances for a goat-F*&k. Or cost overruns. Oh mon-dieu the French got it. But thats business for you.
  22. W/O completely derailing this thread. Australia is currently embarked on a substantial increase in military,....er...defense.. spending. Including a fleet of new nuclear submarines. I read an article a couple years ago about the cost to send a US nuclear submarine on a single patrol. It seemed like a stupidly large amount. Tens of millions of dollars. In any event Australia has raised the ire of China and has been at odds for several years. China released last year several Canadian hostages it was holding to pressure Canada. Xi, IMO is a threat to the world the equal to Putin. Xi is a bully,a killer, an authoritarian without constraints. Given the budget from Canada three weeks ago. Canada see's no threats anywhere.
