Are you aware that assets under Space Force are what alerted the US of the launching if over a dozen Iranian missiles at US forces in Iraq, and permitted a movement of material and personnel into bunkers that saved scores of casualties? I doubt it, and I doubt you are aware of what is involved in that. I suppose the point could be made that it wasn't necessary, but on the vector we were on, it makes some sense to get this group out of the Air Force. And by the way, Trump wasn't going to pull us out of NATO, as you claimed.

I know you've said you met him, and I have as well. Twice, in the emergency exit isle, bot times, on New York to DC shuttle flights. Got into a conversation as he was the speaker at my son's college grad. We talked at length the first time about Virginia colleges and the programs to pay for them, which I had great deal of experience in, as my three kids each went to different state schools, Christopher Newport, Virginia Tech and UVA. The second time he was about to take over as Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, so we talked about that. Decent guy. A typical Virginian. Reasonable and centrist.

Your interpretation of the man's words are valid when you refuse to even acknowledge them? OK, that makes sense. Of course you know better, and not being truthful of what he actually said makes you more better.

I have zero interest in expanding any discussion about Trump, or even thinking about him, and I have no "narrative," so stop that bs. I am solely interested in people lying about what he said as they repeatedly omit his decrying white supremacists and neo Nazis and he made that point very clear in that same answer, and the same people do it on this forum over and over and over. Now get to the really important work of an adult strapping negative emojis on posts. That's time well spent.

I have zero interest in responding to questions about Trump. What I do know is the claim that his good people on both sides remarks were about protestors on both sides of the remove the Lee statue and those comments did not include white supremacist's and Nazis, a point he made twice in that response and is always omitted and not acknowledged in these silly claims.

You can do any stupid little thing you want on a forum, but no reasonable, rational individual woud make a claim that someone said something, when that person, twice, refuted it in the same response. It is simply an idiotic, false claim.

And so is Bill Clinton. A convicted liar under oath before a grand jury. This is complete horseshit. The man never said that white supremacist's or neo Nazis were good people, and making that claim diminishes the people who attempt to make it.

A specious argument. I don't give a rat's what you believe or don't believe, but the quote is there, condemning and pointing out specifically the neo Nazis and the white supremacist's, yet a few people here, you included, disregard it. It's a failed and pathetic path. The man never claimed that those people were "good people," and in fact pointed out they were despicable.

Nonsense.

"And I was talking about people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee, a great general." "There were very fine people on both sides, & I'm not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists because they should be condemned totally." "You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists." I get that hitting Tibs with a baseball bat wouldn't matter, as has been done so many times. But for God's sake can you Trump haters stop diminishing your argument by failing to acknowledge the truth? It is complete ignorance and counter productive.

I quoted your claim that Trump said the oft repeated lie that he was talking about neo Nazis or white supremacist's when claiming there were "good people on both sides..." He didn't, and he called the behavior of those two groups despicable twice in that answer. This lie gets repeated over and over on this site, and has been addressed in detail many times. As an aside, it is nonsense like that claim that empowers pro Trump folks to believe the disingenuous nature of these claims is intentional, and victimizes him. To your question which is unrelated to my quote, I have no interest in posting my views based on "extensive travels," unless it involves a situation I am quite familiar with. These "extensive travels" have taught me that is is idiotic to claim valid opinion based on tourist visits. In my mind you can't know a country until you have lived in the culture, and not really well until you have raised kids there.

And the lie gets repeated again.

Trump stated at a NATO meeting that if the other members did not provided funding to their agree to % of domestic GDP the US might just go it alone. At the time, and still, those countries, notably Canada, Germany, Italy and France, and many others, were not shouldering their share of the burden agreed to. Further, NATO is a formal and binding agreement that would require Congressional approval to withdraw from, so he didn't have the authority. In addition, Trump claimed in July of 2018 that the US's commitment to NATO was "very strong," and "remains very strong."

Nope. Not at all. The "problem" to use your phrase is that the Dems don't like the Court's makeup, so slandering them is their usual game plan. Same old *****, predictable as hell, and never ends.

He's under the same cloud that he's been under since he was nominate and confirmed. The cloud is that he's a conservative, constitutionalist jurist, and the left doesn't like him. Use existing law and impeach him. If not, shut up, and stop this idiotic nonsense that he is somehow corrupted, with no evidence to support such a claim.

Not quite sure what you mean specifically here, but you'd have to change the Constitution to get him without impeachment. If you want to impeach him, get Congress to do it and provide evidence.

Yet. Still. Nobody has ever challenged his "standards," or questioned his integrity. Could you be the first? Our Congress' people accept all manner of political donations and have become rich in office, with no reasonable explanation. Of course they can be voted out, but it is the reason we have people like Pelosi, Feinstein and a host of others way beyond their productivity age precisely because of political money that they leverage into life-long influence, not because they are "smart." If people want to go after Thomas, impeach him and provide evidence. If not, shut up.

I believe this is a nonsense subject. His integrity has never been challenged in any legitimate argument, and the absolute idiocy of Congress playing the holier than thou card when accepting donations in all this, and far more, is scandalously hypocritical. A joke.

Much preferred to live in St. Charles and visit when we wanted.

The guy could write a novel in a song. The Wreck is one, If You Could Read My Mind and the less known "Don Quixote" are others. Musical arrangements aside, which are brilliant, his lyrics are beyond anything currently being produced.

As harsh as it may seem, I think Netanyahu's comments are spot on. Anybody who has ever dealt with these people has come to understand that only way to stop this crap is to respond with deadly force. Ugly, but reality.

One of the weird things about Putin is how utterly fearful he is of an assassination attempt. He uses various offices at different locations and has them outfitted the same way so it can't be identified from his video speeches where he is.

Having done this, the exchange between the plumbing and the earth really affects efficiency. I'm sure you have very qualified contractors, but sand, while allowing movement between the loop and the earth, does not provide the most efficient heat transfer. We used rock powder, which is a more efficient transfer medium, but I'm sure your contractors know best.

What you are describing is geothermal. We did that in our last home build. If the heat sink is largely rock, make sure that there is some exchange media between the "pluming" and the rock.

No. We will not be as hyped, and that's a good thing. I got really tired of it after the LA Rams and Titans games. Let the media talk about the Jets and Dolphins. We should operate in the shadows.
