Hi DJL, I took a better ( IMO ) route; he is the only person here that I have ever blocked. Works for me, Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, And add another one to the list: Lindsey Graham: 'We need to figure out . . . what’s best for country.' Horsepucky!!!! https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/27/mitt-romney-john-bolton-senate-impeachment-trial-witnesses-106103 Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, A rather timely story: https://www.npr.org/2020/01/25/799428031/remembering-a-congressman-who-bucked-his-party-on-an-impeachment Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, If they tried, IMO there would be more than one heart attack. Hey, they just want to dress up & impress themselves. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Coreece, Once again you show your true colors. Where have I ever posted anything about D's being blameless? Jerry Baumchen

Hi timski, He lives here & he votes here. But, he is not here. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Coreece, This where you show me that you have not a clue about the real world. I did NOT 'vote for a black man over a woman'; I voted for the better candidate. Jerry Baumchen

Hi airdvr, I'll take her thoughts before I do the 5 yr old who we have in the White House. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Hmmmm, I wonder which one you could be referring to? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Jerome, I know nothing about the laws in Switzerland regarding parachutes. IMO, here in the USA, when I return the parachute to the owner after having packed it, worked on it, etc, I am no longer responsible for it. I cannot control what the owner or anyone else would do with the parachute once it leaves my hands. It would be airworthy & ready for usage when I return it to the owner. Just my $0.02 in this, Jerry Baumchen

Hi stins, About 10 yrs ago, my son did a tandem in New Zealand with a TI shorter than you. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Me thinks you ask too much of people. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, I've been thinking about this some more & I suppose that we will never get rid of the party system. Therefore, I would just prefer that all offices be non-partisan. Those who want to run, can. Each person would merely run under their own name. No party affiliation allowed on the ballot(s). Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel & Ken, And we're gonna shake up the place when we get there. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, ^^^^^^^^^ This. End of discussion. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Since I cannot vote in either state, I pay little attention to them. Usually, just what comes from the national news, etc. I do know that CA has the 'high two' in the primaries now. I quite like that as one option that would be better than what we now have in Oregon. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, I do not know. I realize that is only a hope. Jerry Baumchen PS) For many years now, here in Oregon, there has been an effort to have open primaries. The biggest work against this is by the R's & the D's.

Hi Wendy, One great fix IMO would to eliminate the party(s) system. But, it ain't gonna happen. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, There is an old saying: 'Necessity is the mother of invention.' I've always thought that laziness is the mother of invention. Jerry Baumchen

Hi jakee, And I am at a loss as to why people cannot understand this. Each of is unique, no two of us are the same. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, IMO not nearly as bad as, “Got it covered, babe.” Similar to a black man calling me a Honky vs my calling him a n*****. Not even in the same time zone. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, Nor do I. I do despise the person that he always been. And, I do despise his actions as POTUS. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Re: “Misinformation on the internet is a problem,” says Mark Zuckerberg.' IMO Zuckerberg couldn't find the bathroom without directions. He may be very rich but he is clueless about the real world. YMMV, Jerry Baumchen

Hi Seth, Completely, Jerry Baumchen

Hi yobnoc, While it is not definitive, it is a step in the right direction: 'Most Americans want Trump removed from office' https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/20/trump-poll-impeachment-101245 Jerry Baumchen
