  1. I'm going to take a hard pass on volunteering to be a rat in that maze.
  2. I believe you are half wrong. He is a believer, but he is playing us. Either that or he is stupid which I do not think is the case.
  3. Brent did reach the correct conclusion no doubt. But then he looked and found a way to have fun posting a page and commenting in a way sure to get a reaction from our corps of reactionaries. Again.
  4. One man, one vote, one last time.
  5. Since Scientology of course. Wasn't Ron L. Hubbard a great man of science and letters? (again, sarcasm. the lowest form of humour)
  6. I hear he was pretty good in the football industry.
  7. The police are just the same as any other group of people. They will be in favour of anyone who proposes increasing their power.
  8. Surely the people will draw the line at tolerating the cold beer ban. Cold beer and warm guns go together like a horse and carriage.
  9. Yes, someone else controls the broadcast rights here. It happens all the time. I considered VPNs but there isn't really that much to gain for the hassle and expense of a good one.
  10. Not for me...... Edit, I was able to watch it on a youtube vid.
  11. I have heard a few times now that this is the worst SCOTUS ever. But this is not really true. The Dredd Scott decision was far worse than anything this court has done so far. Here is part of it, written by the then Chief Justice Chief Justice Taney’s court ruling was one of the most bigoted in history, reading that Black people are “regarded as beings of an inferior order, altogether unfit to associate with the white race ... and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” The ruling basically stated that no Black person in any free or slave state could ever be considered a citizen. It basically made the civil war inevitable.
  12. They do not control the Senate at this time and therefore cannot do that.

    You are treating the dotard unfairly. You must have forgotten that covfefe also has three syllables.
  14. Interestingly KY did not ratify the 14th until 1976. The confederate states were mostly forced to ratify until enough states had to declare it. This was done by the reconstruction act, martial law, the dissolution of existing state governments and the denying of federal representation until it was ratified. The main sticking point was clearly giving black people full citizenship and the right to vote. How did you come to the fantastical conclusion that the 2nd amendment was a main factor? Did you get this from FOX or Der Sturmer?
  15. I'll leave you to work that out on your own. I still think you are a smart enough man to do so even though I'm a little surprised that you decided you should ask.
  16. They were stopped and ended up arrested. Only one person was killed, it could have been worse. It started with just one shooter, luckily there were more weapons in the crowd to keep things from getting out of hand. Freedom is not free, it is a small price to pay.
  17. He should be posting in the "body count" thread in Bonfire.
  18. Must be cold there. We aren't even dressed that well in Winnipeg today.
  19. I've never seen an online seller that would process the charge before the item was ready to ship. Exceptions I suppose for custom made orders. Caveat emptor suckers.
  20. How about this diesel powered beauty for trucking? https://planehistoria.com/napier-nomad Napier_Nomad_I_East_fortune_front-1.webp
  21. But what kind of status does Ginni get from that arrangement?
  22. Alright, for the Anglophiles we will use RR. They were better than the Allisons and more practical than the round engines for cars because they are liquid cooled.
  23. From where I sit there is another small bit of good news. I don't have a vote in that election.
  24. Thanks. That's the first time I've been able to watch it here in my home and native land. And now I know that the only good news is that one day the Sun will run out of hydrogen.
  25. Well worth it for the joy and the exciting feeling of owning and playing with powerful machines of death.
