  2. I better stock up on hammers and steak knives before a back ground check is required.
  3. There was an An-2 based at my DZ for a number of years. When it first arrived, the local FAA told the owner, no jumping from that aircraft. Pinocchio told me that no one ever jumped out of that airplane here.
  4. You can complain all you want about Trump, but the electorate feels differently https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-voters-feel-about-the-economy-4-takeaways-from-the-latest-polls/ “When it comes to the economy, Donald Trump enjoys a clear edge over Biden. According to a CBS News poll released in early March, 65% of voters rate the economy as good during Trump’s presidency, compared to 38% under Biden. Only 17% believe that Biden’s policies will make prices go down, compared to 44% for Trump. Consistent with these findings, 55% think that Trump would do a better job of dealing with the economy, compared to 33% who think that Biden would”
  5. “Crapping their pants” is my characterization of their “disgust” and fear of RFK Jr. syphoning off support from Biden, resulting in a Trump victory. If you don’t think the prospect of a second Trump, in the minds of Democrats, rises to the level of pants crapping you are not as bright as I gave you credit.
  6. Sure the economy was "better" the self admitted "King of Debt" piled up $23,500 in additional debt for every man, woman and child in America during his presidency. With nothing to show for it.. As to your story about personal debt. For someone who rails against President Biden's federal spending. Which is used for the benefit all of America. Personal credit card debt are personal purchasing decisions by individuals freely made. Like when you buy a new AR-15 for your kids on your Chase rewards card. Or when trump pays for "entertainment" at his local "Big Titties R-US" strip club. In this example you'll have something to show for your spending. trump, well he'll never change his stripes. Well not until:
  7. Today
  8. Yep. But as a 10 year old living in such an area, you may not have much choice. Two ways to combat that would be: 1) Move more illegal immigrants into the area. Illegal immigrants are 2x less likely to commit violent crimes than US citizens. 2) Get people nearby voting blue. States that voted for Donald Trump have exceeded the murder rate of states that voted for Joe Biden in every year since 2000. It's likely that the lower educational level, higher poverty and higher gun ownership endemic to red states causes the higher rates of crime. https://www.ojp.gov/library/publications/comparing-crime-rates-between-undocumented-immigrants-legal-immigrants-and https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/do-red-states-rank-higher-in-violent-crime-rates-than-blue-states
  9. A bit of information that confuses and depresses conservatives, and often derails their narratives. Best countered by alternative facts.
  10. Correctly, some pointed out that on a per capita basis CA is on the lower end of the scale for gun deaths. The gun deaths per 100,000 2021 numbers from one source show CA - 9, FL - 14, OR - 15, IL - 16, SC - 22, and Mississippi - 34. The raw numbers are: CA - 3,580, FL - 3,140, OR - 670, IL - 2,000, FL - 3,140, SC - 1,140, Miss - 980. No doubt the high raw numbers are bad but it's also clear that many other states have a much higher risk. Gun Deaths by State 2024 (worldpopulationreview.com) It's possibly accurate to say (speculation) that if one isn't involved in criminal activity and doesn't frequent areas with that type activity, the risk of harm is fairly low. After that the primary risks would be being a crime victim or a victim at a mass shooting. It remains true that the majority of firearm homicides are with handguns (62%), rifles (3.5%) and unknown (32%). The amount of unknown data is concerning. Looking at data on all homicides it's found that 26% are with fists, knives and other weapons (poison, explosives, fire, hammers, etc.). It would be interesting to compare the amount of restrictive laws in each state and the homicide rates. That might provide some insight into the effectiveness of the restrictions and which ones actually work. The data is available, with the known limitation that it's not consistently reported. Seems that someone working on a social PhD degree would explore this.
  11. Use the ads for this. And talk to people around where you jump Wendy P.
  12. Nothing in that says they are crapping their pants. If Trump says that we cannot let Iran invade Israel, does that mean Iran is making Trump crap his pants? You say that we cannot let open borders stand. Does that mean Mexicans make you crap your pants? Do you have any concept of what a "fact" is?
  13. "I suppose the process of acceptance will pass through the usual four stages: (i) This is worthless nonsense; (ii) This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view; (iii) This is true, but quite unimportant; (iv) I always said so." J.B.S. Haldane, in 1963.
  14. Who mentioned debt? I just shared that most Americans believe the economy was better under Trump. Folks don’t feel, GDP or national debt, they feel inflation and when food and rent inflation far outpaces wage gains they really feel it and many are racking up credit card debt to make ends meet. https://abcnews.go.com/US/americans-credit-card-debt-hits-record-113-trillion/story?id=106990807#:~:text=Americans' credit card balances climbed,jump from the previous quarter. (no mention of FOX anywhere)
  15. I'm looking to buy a used container or complete rigg. I'm 165 lbs
  16. Of the presidents during my lifetime, St. Ronald looks like the most profligate in % terms. GWB's legacy doesn't look so good either, given that his successor inherited the costs of Bush's wars.
  17. Brent, Brent! Why do you insist upon using FOX ideas to guide your thinking? Change in Total U.S. Debt by President trump= 33.1% change in the amount of $6.7 trillion and President Biden= 8.8% change and $2.5 trillion. President Biden will actually have infrastructure to show for that spending. trump nothing but some jet exhaust from the engines of billionaires.

  21. Moral turpitude strikes again. So much winning! https://apnews.com/article/john-eastman-donald-trump-2020-election-0041abb4a644638d916f3b5ad9006bdf LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has recommended that conservative attorney John Eastman lose his California law license over his efforts to keep former President Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election. Eastman, a former law school dean, faced 11 disciplinary charges in the state bar court stemming from his development of a legal strategy to have then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory. State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland’s recommendation, issued Wednesday, now goes to the California Supreme Court for a final ruling on whether he should be disbarred. Eastman can appeal the top court’s decision. “Dr. Eastman maintains that his handling of the legal issues he was asked to assess after the November 2020 election was based on reliable legal precedent, prior presidential elections, research of constitutional text, and extensive scholarly material,” Eastman’s attorney, Randall Miller, said in a statement after the ruling. “The process undertaken by Dr. Eastman in 2020 is the same process taken by lawyers every day and everywhere – indeed, that is the essence of what lawyers do.” The judge found Eastman liable for 10 of the 11 charges, including misleading courts, moral turpitude, making false statements and plotting with Trump to hinder the transfer of power.
  22. Indeed, just absolutely hilarious. 50.5% of us are female and of the 100% at least 10% are released by nature from victorian sex mores. So no matter how you do math a clear majority are being controlled by a minority and the only way they can pull off that trick is by using the government. Oh, and by lying their asses off, too, of course.
  23. Funny how these conservatives who are so distrustful of government are all in favor of government having control of womens' bodies and government telling people who they may or may not love.
  24. Of course he does not, I requested that data in post #2049 but as usual from Trumpies: Nada. They can never simply state exactly what they like about Trump while owning his innumerable deficits.
  25. Unless they were asking for some preposterous amount, the hijackers usually got what they asked for. LaPoint asked for a measly 50k and got it Hahneman wanted 303k and got it McNally asked for 502k and got it Heady asked for 200k and got it Francis Goodell asked for 450k and got it Holder and Kerkow asked for 500k and got it The only one who I'm aware of who was short changed (who wasn't asking for millions) was Melvin Fisher He was the copycat who had the money tied to him with stairs lowered but lost his nerve and didn't jump. He asked for 550k and got 200k
