You are clearly too stupid. I am no member of a cult, and frankly your repeated accusation of that with anyone who thins is doing you no good. In short the "cult" nonsense is not working for you. Never voted for the guy and never will. False premise on whether I would have done something that didn't happen, but no surprise there. You are either a child, or remarkably stupid.

You are clearly too stupid to understand this. You continue to do what you always do, which is try to connect this to Trump, which is idiotic. This money is owed to the American taxpayer who took it on during another administration. It has nothing to do with MAGA/Trump/millionaires or billionaires. It has everything to do with a legal contract made that the US taxpayer agreed to, and if not enforced, the American taxpayer will be forced to pay for this default. I'm not sure you even understand that, let alone make any point that such a thing should ever be granted without Congressional consent.

Idiotic comment. The kids in school, and yet to be born, who will have to pay off this unsupported waiver of promissory notes would probably not be supportive of your's. This is a disgraceful strapping on non voters with debt that supposed rational people agreed to. Indefensible. By the way, the "millionaires and billionaires" are not effected by your non sequitur claim at all, but that is clearly above your ability to process.

Yes, and anyone with a scintilla of concern would be greatly disturbed by strapping others with $400b in debt without Congressional consideration, which is, after all, supposed to be the will of the people who are paying for it. And all by a knucklehead who can't speak, can't read, and can't find his way around a room.

Or completely unconcerned about spending $400 billion of other peoples money, paid off by current gradeschoolers or the other non aborted. And all of this without Congressional approval, which means no public hearing on it, and no consequence for a decree by a man who no longer function. Has it really gotten this bad?

We invaded a foreign nation that had violated a ceasefire agreement they had signed, and were in violation of many UN resolutions and were shooting at us in a no fly zone they had agreed to. I remember them cutting into that game once, and during that, the Bills had scored another touchdown, but the game was way out of hand by then.

During Desert Storm, the first Iraq war CNN was quite naïve and inexperienced but it kind of made them. I remember the first night, when that John Holloman guy and Peter Arnett were reporting live from that hotel in Baghdad when Holloman describes this bright glow on the screen as a missile going by, when it was clearly the afterburners of an F-15. The second war, 2003, I spend most of that out of the country, and CNN International, different from the US CNN, demonstrated clear bias and inaccuracy. It was that point that I completely lost respect for them. I will say that they were used a bit as well. Some of the weapons that were shown being "loaded" on US airplanes were not used. They just wanted to get them in a shot to frighten the Iraqis.

My first dive bombing training flights in the single seat, (no back seater), A7E I was doing 45 degree dive bombing deliveries. You drop the practice bomb at about 3000', then do a four-five G pull to get about 60 degrees nose and back up to pattern altitude. I couldn't figure out why I was knocking myself out every 4-5 G pull, then waking up after stopped pulling up and getting back to 1 G, until I finally figured out that my G suit wasn't plugged into the aircraft. Kind of a dumb, new guy, mistake, but I never told anybody.

Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws
sherpa replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Neither I nor you have any idea what causes people to believe that life begins at conception. In no way does that diminish the view. While I have no view on it, I do know that when my wife informed me of her three pregnancies, we viewed them as "lives." at that very instant. Ergo, I respect the views of those who believe that. What I would never do, and you have done, is celebrate the issue because it leads to election results you are favorable of. That, sir, is despicable. -
Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws
sherpa replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You know....You can post any number of these things and it still doesn't get to the undeniable reality. Some pervert does something. Not a surprise. Happens all the time. The undeniable reality I speak of is that some people think life begins at conception. Those people know what the term is for taking a life. It has absolutely nothing to do with the actions of criminals. It is an honest judgement, the same as was made in the 1800's when even though it had been the norm for centuries, people determined that people from another continent were entitled to be treated the same as other folks. The absolute lunacy of this is the claim that those people want to control reproductive rights, anymore than the people of the 1800's wanted to deny property rights. -
You are correct. It is a life sentence. And to the Nazis, a 25 million dollar claim. Haven't heard nor smelled one of them since.

GQP: A 30 PERCENT NATIONAL SALES TAX
sherpa replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why not? Read the comments on the issue in this very thread. People writing things that indicate they have absolutely no knowledge of what was proposed just a few years ago, and instead, turning it into a political/class warfare suggestion instead of a reasoned economic issue. The chasm, in my view, has broadened to a point where such a commonality of purpose for the good of our union is not possible. -
GQP: A 30 PERCENT NATIONAL SALES TAX
sherpa replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Years ago, this issue actually got some reasoned, rational discussion. The print number was discussed with an entire format of exclusions to protect the poor and eliminate the tax on certain necessities. Sadly, that discussion is not possible now. -
And less we forget, the Poles were the original breaker of the German Enigma code. They are rapidly becoming my favorite NATO nation.
-
Insulting, but not in the least effectual.
-
Preppies, Mayflower, and Thomas Jefferson have nothing to do with this. Please do stop replying, because your replies make no sense.
-
Just a nonsense post. It doesn't "house elites who supposedly hate whites." The people marching with tiki torches, like the individual that Billsy continuously includes and killed himself a few weeks ago while smuggling drugs into the US, were not part of this community. Again, I'm not sure of your point, and who are these "elites?"
-
Again, I have zero interest in Kessler's view. He was a punk with a failing life, as all these supremacist wackos are. I'm not sure what you are trying to insinuate by your phrase "f'in elites!!!", (one exclamation point would do by the way, three makes you look wacky), but Kessler had an issue with a black city counselor who is an idiot and had a trail of disgusting comments. That issue led to the statue thing, inviting all these crazy nuts for an event, and the rest is history.
-
Good. I will add you and Jason Kessler to the people I have no interest in, though I hope, having moved to Ohio, he is able to scrap up some funds to pay the massive judgement against him. He did so because he couldn't get a job here. Whatver your point was regarding him, it was lost in nonsense, as is his life.
-
Great. I should have stopped responding to you after you screwed up the South/Central America thing, and denied posting something I quoted from you, directly. I have zero interest in your view.
-
I could not be more pleased than to be told that an absolute lunatic disagrees with me. Jason Kessler has been wacky since birth, but he did hold jobs as a dishwasher, gym technician, truck driver and handyman. I, and the rest of the community, was pleased when a jury awarded a $25 million damages claim to the plaintiffs against him.and his out of town defendants. What's next? Are you going to try to prove a point by claiming Bin Laden disagreed with me?

What I commented on was your claim that the Ukraine has a problem with the US and proxy wars. The US does what it does. It eliminated the Iraqis from Kuwait in the most brilliant military campaign ever. Kuwait decided to remain a country. It then eliminated the Saddam regime in another brilliant military campaign. The Iraqis allowed Iranian and other forces to undermine whatever hope that country had. The Us demolished the Taliban in Afghanistan in another superb military performance. The tribal leaders permitted ISIS and others to get a foothold. The point is that the US has not failed thee countries, their own people have. The US can assist the Ukraine in prohibiting a Russian takeover. It cannot determine what comes next, and that is not a US failure, and was not in either Kuwait, Iraq nor Afghanistan. Ultimately, that result is on them.

Think whatever you want. It's got nothing to do with "affluent, progressive areas." It has far more to do with what the local govs will allow protest permit wise, and guidance to local police, which was the tragedy in C'ville. I live here. I watched this thing happen, and all the post event legal proceedings, including knowing some of the people who were involved in those. I drove through the area an hour before, where the neo's/white supremacist were staging, and was stopped as they were allowed to cross the street on their way four blocks down from the "event," about an hour before it happened. It was shocking, and not something remotely connected to this community.

They were drawn to Charlottesville because the group had achieved what is called critical mass. The neo Nazi/white supremacist movement had made it to a point where they wanted to be heard. It was timing. Had nothing to do with Charlottesville, which was a great, community. People convicted and sentenced, police at the state and local level removed.
