  1. What happened with Hungry? Did they run out of burgers or something? And I recall Dubya thinking 3 Brazilian was a huge number...
  2. The sheer number of criminals and crimes means the DOJ is up to their necks with work. Slow and methodical will win the day. Where appropriate, the States should prosecute, to prevent the possiblity of the Repubs pardoning the crooks if they win back the presidency. Hopefully ALL those involved will all find themselves behind bars for many years. Should be quite a few vacancies in the senate, house, and Mar a Largo.
  3. The flipping will resemble a pancake convention. Lots of rats scrambling for the lifeboats. They signed their names, prosecution should be a slam dunk. Hopefully they throw them all in the slammer. No plea deals hopefully...
  4. TBF he is on a road to nowhere trying to defend these traitors. I guess he'll be getting his fees in advance. Would the military be able to recall the exservice members for courts martial, on top of the DOJ charges?
  5. I used to post on here quite a bit. Since the format change, I can't really be bothered any more. I guess part of it is repeating the same advice about jumping, and people these days not being willing to accept advice from a perceived "old fart".
  6. Gone to the great unknown unknown...
  7. Its called natural selection. Natures way of weeding out the terminally stupid. The GOP should become extinct in the next year or so.
  8. Ian Higgie passed last week. Member of NZ team "Plane Scared" who took 2 golds and a silver medal at the first World cup of CRW in France, 1982. Rest easy mate.
  9. If she was sent money when 17, at the very least, it was grooming.
  10. If you lose half your IQ, you are only left with Q.
  11. Court martials coming up. Former military can be recalled and charged can they not? Michael Flynn first in line....
  12. Vampires don't reflect though...
  13. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind...
  14. Hopefully the pathologist drove a stake through his heart. Just to be sure...
  15. We don't need to lead. You just need to follow.
  16. I thought old mate Vlad was doing a pretty good job of pulling the strings attached to 45. The Saudi crime boss had his fingers in the pie as well.
  17. I am sitting within 5 metres of a banana tree which is growing outside my window. And I wouldn't consider my observation as an insult. Most banana republics have one corrupt politician calling the shots. The US have a bunch of self serving senators allowing their ex president off the hook for something he quite clearly instigated. And seeing the sheer numbers of people who still believe his bullshit makes the rest of the planet despair for American democracy. The ignorance on display is breath taking. Thus the US has lost the trust and respect it once enjoyed from most of the free world. Even if the US manages to expunge the corruption in full view of the rest of the world, it is doubtful that trust will ever be earned back. Making 45 pay for his crimes would just be the start, and seeing some of his bootlicking enablers like Graham, Cruz et al thrown out would also help. The US is definitely on the banana republic list.
  18. I think the thread title is a bit of an insult to Banana Republics.
  19. This farce shows why the rest of the world is pointing at the US and laughing. What a joke.
  20. I think Mr Miller is going to have some awkward questions to answer when the events of Jan 6th are investigated properly.
  21. That tells me either one of two things...a: the gear was not set up properly, or b: your instructors were crap. 30 sl jumps is inexcusable, it sounds like you were just being milked. I've heard stories like that from the UK more often than from any other country, and having witnessed a couple of so called "instructors" in action first hand, I'm not surprised. Its amazing the number of students who give up on training in the UK, or being told to take up bowling, go to another DZ on the continent and fly through the training. I trained a few like that in NZ myself.
  22. He probably has implants in his ears broadcasting in an endless loop: "Breathe in...Breathe out". I saw another good burn, saying he thinks the Geneva convention was signed for the benefit of the citizens of Geneva.
  23. Bloody Biden. Pandering to the citizens of Paris...
