Funny to everyone except trump supporters. Who just...don't...get...it.

It will come it just takes time to unlearn an ingrained and conditioned response.

Dead tree magazines are over. Dead and done. The next meeting just ask around the table if anyone has bought one lately. No one wants them anymore. Quit wasting money. That is so, so true. I'm a bit of an information junkie. The last magazine i read was an issue of Economist about a year ago. I used to spend 1/2 hour once or twice each day at the magazine stand. Now you would have to drive around for 1/2 hour to find a magazine stand. Even with a good app on your phone. Why read an article about the new katana 4 canopy when its pro's and cons are discussed on forums in DZ. USPA should pay for a section on this site for all its business. Or buy this site. Or even have its members lobby for a special section for USPA business. Problem with that is dissenting voices may be more common. Where a editor can dismiss dissenting views, aka a magazine.

Agree

Every month or so he slips up and tells the truth by accident. Either that, or his incoherent babbling creates a truthful statement by random co-incidence.

-1800' solid overcast, 2 miles from a major airport,5 degrees below, Santa Claus suit, into a 200'x200' asphalt parking lot in a major mall. With about 4000 witnesses around the landing area.

A dachshund is better looking and a better companion any day of the week. Delta needs software that recognizes travelers like her and kicks their baggage off to Timbuktu. Eventually they will get the message and elect for Netjets.

I can see the fight but net metering should be borne by the consumer, power source and the grid in more or less equal terms. IMO there are benefits to all.

Right. I think in the end they will make officer's lives much easier in the courtroom. Lying by perps is the national pastime and dealing with cops 101 taught in jail. I just can't see this coming out good for LE officers.

The trust obligations of politicians. The true definition of what oxymoron means....mmm... I wonder if trump is an oxymoron instead of just an IDIOT!

I won't disagree with HRC "shooting herself in the foot", but the idea that the president represents constituents is: A- wrong. That's the job of Congress. B - If any one expected Trump to represent anyone's interests than his own, well... Back to stupid gullible and ignorant. Many voters are motivated by single interests. For example i know many gun owners that vote solely on the issue of who is best for gun ownership rights. Some small businessmen hate the idea of paying health care premiums for employees. Whoever strips these expenses or small business regulations for them. Has their vote. National interests, scandals, lies and party politics are all water off a ducks back. So for a coal miner for example trump can do no wrong because he ended some environmental regulations already. IMO both HRC and hubby Bill have enough baggage for 5-10 nominees. trump 100x that. But baggage is ignored by those that see government and policy in a few selective issues. That define their voting motivations. That doesn't make them stupid. Or ignorant. But the long term policy, legislation and initiatives of those they elect. Can in the end bite them in the ass in ways they never imagine.

My god he just finds new ways to be a total cockmuffin, doesn't he? "Somebody said... maybe that's wrong... I just heard it..." Want to try weaselling any harder on that one? He's the fucking President and he's passing on watercooler gossip? How about, shout down the hall to where your entire West Wing staff are working and get one of them to find out. You'd have a solid answer in 15 minutes. How on earth did this slimy puddle of oozing discharge masquerading as a sentient human ever manage to get to this position? 61 million ignorant, gullible and/or stupid Americans voted for him. or 61 million that want a change in old time politics and were so desperate for change that they were mistaken. Or didn't care about possible results because old time politics wasn't seen as working for them.

John McCain fully deserves any medical care that the US taxpayer needs to provide. His sacrifices in the war in US independence through to Vietnam creates a debt that really can't be ever repaid. There is a reason why rushmc and other trump supporters hate McCain. He is a true republican. a conservative with intelligence and heart. He calls a spade a spade and puts the US national interests first. I strongly suspect that there are some equally deserving individuals among the millions that Trump/Ryan/McConnell are trying to deprive of healthcare. Well obviously I like McCain. You are right Twenty five million Americans loosing Medicaid and/or insurance is a failure. Every major industrial country recognizes the importance of a national health care plan. Except US republicans. SAD.

I attempted it once but the wisdom of the pilot outweighed my naivety and the takeoff was aborted. Nothing wrong with wingwalking on a biplane just save it for safe altitudes.

Shep has been calling out Trump for awhile now. . . But you still don't get it. Most of those on the right don't care. They are so pissed off with the left, that they just want vengeance at all costs - or at least stifle the liberal progression of this country. ...and they're winning. The focus is now on Trump rather than our typical divisive issues - and since Trump is an "outsider," any time he fucks up, he'll just claim ignorance and all is forgiven - And any legitimate criticism will just be drowned out by hoards of liberal nonsense, eg., "he gets off on dehydrated russian sex slaves pissings on his face, hence his skin tone!" Because you know, only that type of stuff is worthy of facebook - who cares about Russian collusion? Who cares about classified info on a private server? Mostly right. But the horse that the republican party has hooked its wagon to ain't going anywhere. Because the reins are attached to the horses ass instead of its head. Offshore stranded profits repatriation legislation? Infrastructure program? Tax reform? All in the back of the wagon and thats where they will be for .....??

I'd agree with you. As for his time in office, well . . . . . . Jerry Baumchen He was horribly ineffective in office, but has since turned into one heck of a decent human being. Even better than Richard Nixon turned out to be, which was pretty good too. He was always a "heck of a decent human being." Always. It actually turned out to be his biggest weakness as President. Not his own decency, but his tendency to assume that other people were also decent. He seemed unable to understand the concept that some people are "not nice". It allowed foreign leaders to take advantage of his decency and use it against him. The economy wasn't really his fault. He ordered the special forces attack what went wrong in the Iranian desert. Then took the blame that came with that failed mission. Even though the mission was far too complex and a failure that he could have blamed on the military. He stood up like a man. Unlike someone who occupies the WH now.

Like duh! The US founding fathers in their ...failure.. to get the constitution right. Gave the president the right to issue a pardon to anyone. He could have already pardoned his whole family for the ongoing worldwide cash grab. Pardoned all his Russian cohorts. So the worst is impeachment. Consequences???

Be it Jr or trump, lie, deny, blame it on HRC and the media. All the sheep will believe and follow.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/11/15947412/trump-lies-russia The way to deal with the lies from the trump administration is to get them under oath in senate, house and Robert Mueller's investigations. End of story. It would be nice to get something on Ivanka. Might as well keep it a family affair.

Thankfully the US government has intelligent republicans to balance out the stupidity of the orange idiot. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/06/politics/russia-steps-up-spying-efforts-after-election/index.html

BLM is an organization that has the sole focus of the deaths of blacks by LE. Be it legitimate, careless or criminal. The fact that it doesn't address other issues of black on black violence doesn't make it racist.

Trump does not have the guts to take on Putin; or anyone. He has led a sheltered life his entire life; he has never learned how to be 'tough.' That is why everything about him ( according to him ) is the best. Jerry Baumchen trump's idea of tough is to exchange childish tweets with Rosie O'Donnell and others. Putin's is to have the FSB kill people he doesn't like or those who call out his crimes, or thefts.

A minor correction if I may; at the time of the incident, Khadr was 15 years of age. When Are Adult Sentences Used for Youth? If the offence is murder, attempted murder, manslaughter or sexual aggravated assault (presumptive offences) then it is presumed that an adult sentence will be given unless the youth can persuade the court that a youth sentence will hold the youth accountable. If the offence is not a presumptive offence (described above), the Crown may seek an adult sentence if the youth is 14 and if the offence is the youth's third serious violent offence or one which an adult could receive more than 2 years. Prior to the Enactment of the YCJA in 2003, What was the Process for Giving Youth an Adult Sentence? If the youth offender was 14 years of age or older, s/he could be moved to adult court. If convicted, the young offender could have received an adult sentence. If the young offender was 16 or 17 years old and was convicted of a "presumptive offence," the court would use an adult sentence unless s/he convinced the court not to. Presumptive offences were: Murder Attempted murder Manslaughter Aggravated sexual assault http://www.lawlessons.ca/lesson-plans/2.7.adult-sentences-for-youth How about paying the 10.5 million into a fund to pay for the rehabilitation of Yazadi women refugees from Iraq, admitted to Canada. Forced into sexual slavery by the Al Qaeda offshoot IS? How about using the money to pay for the rehabilitation of Canadian Forces personnel injured in Afghanistan? Yes a wrong was done to a Canadian citizen subsequent to his personal, direct actions as a terrorist in another country. Fifteen year old Canadians have been sentenced as adults before in the courts of Canada. IMO give him $10.5 million, suspended, for his active participation in a terrorist group.This properly recognizes the failure of the Canadian government to protect his rights subsequent to capture an the battlefield. IMO any Canadian who joins a terror group like Al Qaeda or IS. Should be stripped of citizenship regardless of place of birth. The courts, charter of rights, constitutions of many countries, fail completely to deal with international terror. A citizen travels to another country to participate in genocide, institutionalized rape and other war crimes. Then returns to his place of birth to expect the full protections as a citizen of that state.

Perhaps someday if you contribute intelligent, concise, opinions and positions with supporting facts, stories and links. Without wandering into stupidity, ideas disconnected from facts and name calling. It can be named after you!
