When they clean up trump's estate there will be all kinds of Russian and nuclear secrets discovered. It will be too late for any sanctions but for his apologists, between tears of sorrow. The excuses will pour forth to exonerate his treason. Putin will order the flags to be hung at half staff and trump will get the Hero of Russia medal with oak leaves and diamonds.

I'll credit winsor for baby steps to engagement of his underutilized debating skills. If he used Joe's wit-humor equally with substance. The conservative right would have in SC its own William Buckley.to keep the liberals in check.

I'll give full credit for a response with substance. It's too bad that some of your obvious intellect couldn't recognize the weakness of a democracy. Yet at the same time applaud its success as well. I guess in the parapet of the ivory tower all elected officials are corrupt stooges of the ignorant masses.

At us, to us, when the perch is so high the words get blown by the wind.

So an "F" in the philosophy debate studies?

Agree. i would say that there seems to be little evidence against President Biden. Certainly not enough for impeachment. BUT, Hunter is the poster child for smoke and red flags. Be it conduct, or cash coming and going. Hunter is a magnet for suspicious conduct. FOX and its associated idiot viewers will have a field day with this. President Biden will be paint splattered by the time its done. He should not however be punished for loving his son. He does have a decades long political career without even a hint of misconduct. The odd self aggrandising lie aside. Which pales in comparison to most politicians and is in a separate universe compared to the orange idiot.

IMO most of the issues here are serious. Corrupt politics, environmental hypocrisy, etc. "Serious" means e-mailing political and corporate leaders directly in an effort to influence direction. Taking direct political and social actions. Keep in mind that humor, dialogue, etc. in relation to these issues is a way to define the issues in our minds. A way of coping because real influence in these equations only comes once every four years or so. We can watch the news and pound the table. We can do what we can individually to address the issues. We can reflect on the discourse here. Knowing that the batsh*t crazies are few and far between. That they define what we are up against within the general population, the great unwashed so to speak.

FOX needs some fodder for its base in 2024. Its an election year and distractions from trump trial after trump trial is necessary. For every disclosure at a trial where a felony is proven. Hunter Biden video will be shown on FOX with a narrative that closely walks the line to avoid more fines in court.

Oh the GOP is busy. Setting aside the delayed budget measures its got milk for schools on the important list. Furthermore its got to be whole milk and not skim milk. Sounds like the dairy lobby has handed out some Christmas gifts to republicans. "Republicans received 71 percent of donations from the dairy industry, a slight drop from the 2018 cycle when 74 percent of donations went to the GOP." Just as they do every election cycle.

After a decade of trolling and hundreds of threads you finally admit what you've known all along. Please, please, don't start a whole new avalanche of threads on India now.

He likely takes enormous pride in getting his MBA from the same school that trump did.

I'm thinking 20 years to the STC. No more hot starts, hot section inspections, etc. Those electric motors have one moving part so just prop and governor overhauls. Full power to 18.5. They will put wind tunnels out of business.

Cessna lists an appreciation schedule in its owners manual/ service manual? W/O derailing the thread. The most brilliant auto engineer IMO just laid out a Dark Matter Raxial Flux 6-phase E-motor of 800 hp, 922 ft lb of torque, that weighs 39 kg.(86 lbs). Which is 246 lbs less than the 800 hp PT-6-140 Blackhawk engine. Pictured below is its older cousin which develops 335 hp and is pictured besides a 330 ml energy drink. Soon to be installed on C-182 aircraft to put out of business climate doubters like BH.

Evidently pro-trump online trolls are getting semi-professional. As if those in SC and Facebook don't know it. A group calling itself the title of this thread is going all out with trump's approval and applause to: "the group traffics freely in misinformation, artificial intelligence and digital forgeries known as deepfakes. Its memes are riddled with racist stereotypes, demeaning tropes about L.G.B.T.Q. people and broad scatological humor. Their most vulgar invectives are often aimed at women, particularly those seen as enemies of Mr. Trump. In one video, the former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley’s face is pasted on the body of a nearly naked woman, who kicks a man with the face of Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in the groin. Another depicts Casey DeSantis, the governor’s wife, as a porn star. Women with ties to Mr. DeSantis are often shown with red knees, suggesting they have performed a sex act." The party of "GOD" , freedom and the little guy just doing more of its thing. All while faking standards, decency and morals.

Cue the song: "I wanna tell you all a story 'bout A Harper Valley widowed wife Who had a teenage daughter Who attended Harper Valley Junior High" An enterprising songwriter needs to draft a knockoff; I wanna tell you all a story 'bout A party called republicans Who want to set the rules in the schools....

“The war in Ukraine has sharply set back 15 years of Russian effort to modernize its ground force,” according to a new declassified US intelligence report.It also states that Russia has lost over 2,200 tanks, a loss of 25% of all ground forces equipment and 315,000 troops KIA or WIA. No greater bargain in the history of US defense spending has yet to be found. To date $46 billion has been spent to take out about 25% of Russia's military. Imagine what $150 billion more would do? Or another way for 1/4 of what was spent in Iraq the US could send Russia back almost a century. Merry x-mas Putin hope the coal suits you.

Well currently 52% of republican voters would. Which obviously includes, flat earthers, moon landing deniers, election stolen followers and the King ain't naked worshipers.

I like that Rolf guy, the gun shop owner at the end. Swiss and German guns are the most interesting. The Swiss believe that government works and works for them. That rules and democracy go hand in hand. Too many Americans don't. The Swiss believe that mental health, social services should be well funded. Income inequality in Switzerland is the same today as it was 100 years ago. In the US FOX has persuaded the poor and the uneducated that they need republicans to make life better and put a gun in their hands for self defense. That guns are necessary because the government doesn't work. That gun laws can't be trusted or passed because...well...everyone needs a gun and its a right.

There is a difference between ultra-conservatives and the stink of the evangelical right. Right wing conservatives look the other way or hold their noses when evangelicals enter the room. Because like a overflowing outhouse on a hot Texas afternoon. When you gotta do what you gotta do. You do it.

Maybe he is pandering to become a moderator in SC. Isn't the owner of SC a S. African? Like trump he might have dreams of retribution and retaliation.

He spent it on drugs, women, booze and the rest he just wasted.

"There’s very little discussion — I saw no discussion in this in particular — of blaming and shaming the political operative." In the current political climate thats not surprising. Some republicans would mark this whole issue with a badge of pride. Keep in mind that it was just disclosed a day ago that Hunter Biden spent something like $170k on escorts and strip bars. IMO it can be summed up to the effect that she only lost by 1000 votes. So she should try again.

Saving SC, saving the world and furthering republican ideals. You're a legend in your own mind.

Perhaps someone more responsible than BH and less interested in trolling will start a new thread. One dealing with Hunter Biden's actual crimes of tax evasion as he is being prosecuted by the US department of justice. If found guilty I certainly hope he does serious jail time. Naturally BH won't acknowledge that the US DOJ has been "weaponized" for political purpose in this aforementioned prosecution. But why ruin the fantasy world of the GOP.

Speaking of nature, education and third world countries. There is the issue of GOP districts in the southern US and their fertility rates as compared to democrat ones. "we estimate that Trump’s victory led to over 7,000 additional births in Republican counties(the study counties) and 38,000 fewer Democratic births over nine quarters. Using our alternative measure based on the rightward vote shift instead of the vote share, we estimate 18,000 more Republican and 48,000 fewer Democratic births." Above from Partisan Fertility and Presidential Elections Dec. 2021 Study So the uneducated GOP are raising more AR-15 a-totin, trump a-votin, younguns every day.
