So F'n what? Too many people are deluded boneheads for us to use their judgement for a standard. Jeez, even people who should know better, like you for example, blame everything from inflation to busted condoms on Biden. We live in a global economy. Things like wars in the bread basket of Europe that prevent tens of millions of tons of wheat, edible oils etc. from entering the world market, the world being at best on the tail end of a global pandemic that disrupted economies around the world, aging populations, low birth rates, brain dead, racist, refusals to let able workers join our economy and on and on and on are the real causes of our economic disruption. But you just go on with your narrative.

100 Trillion flies, and you, can't be wrong.

Brother you are on track. First up is the first crash. What did it tell you? Bad luck? Pilot inexperience? Was asking the DZO what was up if you didn't feel comfortable a possibility? Did you already know that the DZO's don't know jack about flying or maintenance, and that they can't fly the airplanes and are always struggling to find pilots? Then you already know the problem. These terrible events continue to happen because of skydivers. Two bucks extra a jump or whether your friends jump there aren't valid criteria unless you don't give a fuck.That's the problem.

Left Coast elitist, to be precise. And when it comes to sustenance, indeed I do have my druthers. That said, Theresa just informed me that we are eating Burger King tomorrow, so there it is.

No ??? required, those are your peeps. And given that you are apparently so concerned with my immortal soul, owing to what you see as my particular delusions, that you offered to me blessings by the current, and locally popular deity I can only deduce that you are a follower of that varying story line, too. Speaking of nothing burgers, as you say.

OK, then you are in named group one and also in unnamed group three, bless your heart.

Are you studying under lippy?

That a wide swath of the American public have been propagandized to the point of permanent delusion does not mean the findings are a nothing burger. The former President incited riot and sedition in a bogus attempt to overthrow a legitimate presidential election. The result was, for first time in our nations history, that we did not have a peaceful transition of power. You know, that consequence of our vaunted constitution and American exceptionalism and so on. If you do not believe that about Trump then you are among the propagandized. If you do then you are no patriot. Which are you today?

That is just awesome. I haven't choked down a drive through burger in years but that may change.

Seriously? This guy was up all night partying?

No kidding. We should establish a commission to figure out which political philosophy and party, in pursuit of selfish gains, stood by silently while their equally selfish leaders packed the US Supreme Court with hard right ideologues who handed down a decision allowing corporations and the wealthy to make huge contributions in exchange for favorable treatment. Then we should publish the report on twitter!

I'm pretty sure that was before my kid came out as trans. I'm pretty sure that was before my AR-15 was used in a shooting. I'm pretty sure that was before we found out the fossil fuel industry was lying. I'm pretty sure that was before we knew Trump was a crook. I'm pretty sure that was before my daughter need an abortion to live. I'm pretty sure ___________________________________.

Would you have him pencil the rating, too? I couldn't advise that and maintain my standards.

Believing he said it wasn't the hard part, after all, it's Gohmert. The hard bit was not believing that somewhere someone heard him and thought: goddamn liberals, enough's enough. Where's my gun?

20 hours of tunnel, pencil the jumps, and get any rating to clean up the books.

You crack me up.

Nothing broke down nor will anything much change. We're simply not the inherently nice, collaborative species we pretend to be.

There it is. Away from the convention their security details will allow them to believe they are safe. The private school their kids attend are secure, so that's all good too. So really this is just a parenting problem. If those mothers in Ulvade cared more for their kids they would have provided a security detail. We do not need a nanny state, we need more personal responsibility.

As you have mentioned previously, we have 100 years of "cheap" fossil fuels in the ground and AGW is an anti-food, anti-salubrious, anti-poor person farce. Let's give you all of that and promise to quit pointing out that you don't have a job. So, then what? It's 2122 and we are out of oil and shit out of luck. Is your plan to find another 100 years of salubrium?

Multnomah Falls? So that's a thing organized by a bunch of commies. Guy I know sells the buckets to the ex-Rajneeshie bucket brigade that totes the water to the top. It's always the simplest and most obvious explanation.

Yep, couple of Oregon boy's exercised their second amendment rights, and their right to choose, by atomizing themselves in a WWII armored vehicle. All for the low, low price of $200 for a stamp. The system is working.

Because they were smart enough to recognize that energy from coal is actually power from Solar! Black is the new Green.

Moreover, I stand by my point that believing you need to buy one or two AR-15's and a crate of ammo, and a dozen high capacity mags and walk out the door with your new arsenal, should be seen, as a default condition, as evidence of mental instability. If you can prove otherwise then come back in two weeks after your successful psychological exam and pick up your guns. Why? Well, because just like your pit bull that never bit anyone before some things simply can not be trusted based on biased assertion.

Agreed.

Another AR-15. Bought on the same day. More thoughts and prayers. We just can not live this way and consider ourselves civilized.
