  1. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46587185 Glad to see POTUS getting involved. This turns my stomach that such a great American is being run through the mud. Not surprised though. This kinda ***** has driven many talented soldiers from service. I had three investigations for unfounded ***** during my time. This man man deserves an ARCOM with V device, not an investigation. I ask all like minded individuals on the matter to write their representatives showing support for this warrior.
  2. Ya know, I’d love to criticize Trump for all this but I believe in fair treatment. The Clinton Foundation was a pay-to-play organization that was illegally influencing American politics for years and the justice department turned a blind eye or actively assisted. As such, I don’t care if there’s any truth to the Putin rumors. Further, Trump did NOT win because of Putin.
  3. That is funny. I wonder if our european cousins would find it funny as many women there have been sexually assaulted by Muslim men — which is their right since the european whores don’t cover themselves properly.
  4. As a small business owner I’ll tell ya the hardest part about what I do, other than the payroll taxes every month, is finding affordable insurance. It’s the bane of my existance.
  5. Thats because it’s exceptionally efficient in heating and cooling. 90% earth, 10% concrete. Works amazingly. https://www.foxnews.com/us/accused-isis-supporter-faces-decades-in-prison-for-plotting-berkeley-attack Haj being Haj. It’s what they do. Tommy, that’s not how I roll. Rule #1 for a cavarlyman: Maintain the freedom to maneuver. Ya can’t maneuver very well from a jail cell. Further, I’m tickled at what a loose cannon you think I am. I’m not. I remember reading about a savage from the Teutonis tribe challenged Marius to a one-on-one dual. Marius being a smart guy declined. Cowardly? No. Smart, yes. A couple days later Marius killed the crap out of that dude and probably 80,000 others. The lesson: fight when you can win; be like Marius.
  6. I would address the WR position this offseason with little to no thought of Zay. He’s unreliable and he’s done nothing to significant to change that.
  7. We really need to find one in FA. Rarely is it that a rookie TE plays well enough to make ann impact. Even 1st rounders cannot be counted on, and Allen NEEDS a TE.
  8. “ Extravagant as the supposition is, let it however be made. Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most inclined to deny the possibility of it. Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it. Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion, that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors. Let us rather no longer insult them with the supposition that they can ever reduce themselves to the necessity of making the experiment, by a blind and tame submission to the long train of insidious measures which must precede and produce it. The argument under the present head may be put into a very concise form, which appears altogether conclusive. Either the mode in which the federal government is to be constructed will render it sufficiently dependent on the people, or it will not. On the first supposition, it will be restrained by that dependence from forming schemes obnoxious to their constituents. On the other supposition, it will not possess the confidence of the people, and its schemes of usurpation will be easily defeated by the State governments, who will be supported by the people. On summing up the considerations stated in this and the last paper, they seem to amount to the most convincing evidence, that the powers proposed to be lodged in the federal government are as little formidable to those reserved to the individual States, as they are indispensably necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Union; and that all those alarms which have been sounded, of a meditated and consequential annihilation of the State governments, must, on the most favorable interpretation, be ascribed to the chimerical fears of the authors of them. PUBLIUS.” Some of Federalist 46.
  9. Im not sure what a FOID card is and I’m too lazy to make googles on the subject. Nonetheless, while there are negatives of an armed populace I believe the positives outweigh them. Further, shall not be infringed.
  10. I feel much better about Allen now than I did on Draft night when I was trying to drink myself into a coma.
  11. How'd Josh do today? I didn't watch and box scores typically don't tell the tale with Josh.
  12. Yeah, but I don't writes for a livin. And I didn't mean it. He writes fine. I was just throwin rocks at the hornets nest. It's a pastime of mine.
  13. After reading the comments I consider myself quite the wise man for pulling the plug on the Sunday Ticket. Looks like Josh is doing well though?
  14. I actually like Rhino. I'm sure he's a good guy who'd be a great neighbor and stuff. I know he hates me and I've fostered that hate. I just don't see how grown men can be so.....well....the way that he is. I use UPS because the government ran USPS can't handle their measly tasks. The government can't pull off inside jobs. They just cannot. Every time they try it blows up in their face.
  15. It’s a message board not a research paper. I’m not gonna beat myself up over a grammatical error.
  16. Washington or Oakland is my guess Or....Jacksonville.
