  1. And that pretty much sums up the inherent meanness, based in fear and loathing, of the right wing. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Doesn't it just make you crazy? Politicians do this everywhere. They bribe the people using the people's own money and then borrow to cover it. It's like a freaking pyramid scheme. Bernie Madoff would blush at numbers like these. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. I would say that the "military industrial complex" is closely related to the real "deep state". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  4. I support Ron's religious beliefs. The attack is on the hypocrisy of his political beliefs. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. Yes, cadet bone spurs is very wise. Obviously God is guiding him. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. Rand Paul is a Republican only slightly more than Bernie Sanders is a Democrat. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. Yea sure. Everyone thinks they should be able to time the market. In reality it’s like trying to catch a falling knife. You might get lucky but you’ll probably end up bleeding. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. That is exactly what I read. But you never know. With the coming cadet bone spurs parade to rally the nation there could be a massive upwelling of support for Trump and the GOP in the works! If that happens the Rs will need men like this. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. Cadet bone spurs should get his parade. He is C in C and if that's what he wants then his troops should parade for him. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. Are they going to be arrested and charged with crimes soon? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Nevermind the reserve! Watching him deploy his gliding wing from the helicopter and then trying to fix the lineovers is pretty fun. That's a great video. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. I think you are confusing the old USSR with the new Russia. Christianity is now celebrated. Gays and feminists are persecuted. Oops, edit. It turns out there is a new law suppressing religion outside of church. Apparently it's aimed at stopping the bleeding of the Orthodox church members by Evangelical types.

  13. I've seen others do exactly that for the same reason. Sharpies seem to work well and don't seem to cause damage. Most people aren't as careful as you and just colour the tab.
  14. Or: http://digg.com/video/bad-truck Hey, he gets paid by the mile. Don't get in the way!
  15. Cool, I was watching this truck movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SutDTIhbQ2g and concerned about crazy truck drivers, but now (w/ new tech) we just tap our brakes in front of them and the killers can't get us. We still have some tricks we can use to get you. Speed and mass are tools our brakes can not overcome quickly enough to save your ass!
  16. For the most part those days are long gone. Auto-shift no clutch pedal, satellite or cellular tracking, speed limiters, electronic logbooks, radar controlled adaptive cruise control, systems that alert safety department of time, following too closely, overspeed, and hard braking events, dispatch systems that alert if you are behind schedule, automatically applied braking if a another vehicle is too slow in front of you, there is very little freedom for the average long distance trucker. The truck I drive has every one of these systems. More are coming soon. I drive a company owned truck. But even owner operators have much of this stuff mandated.
  17. Whatever silly nonsense the right wing distraction machine has come up with this week will not make any difference to the Mueller team grinding away at the rats running from the sinking ship that is the Trump administration.

  18. From the story YOU linked to: Your lack of adequate reading before posting and drawing incorrect conclusions is on a par with the your usual posts. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Wow! Watching those boosters land was absolutely surreal. Ryoder, where is the link to the replay?
  20. Both the recent run up in stock prices and the even more recent decline have little to do with Trump or his policies. They are a function of good old supply and demand coupled with even more basic fear and greed. After all the years of low interest rates there has been too much cash chasing too few good stocks pushing prices to unjustified levels. The threat of inflation and higher rates was bound to show up sooner or later. Rates can not stay at historic lows forever. It remains to be seen how far stocks will fall. My guess, and it is nothing more than that, is for a months long period of mostly declines till fall when they will settle in at about the level they were at just before Trump's election. That is still pretty high. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. That is the way I felt about the recent selection of a new Conservative Party leader here in Canada. So I spent $20 on a membership and got a vote. Even though I will likely never vote in an election for a conservative, I did have the pleasure of seeing my preferred candidate chosen as leader. Instead of a "white nationalist" or a "businessman".

  22. Good question. And how is it that an independent Senator can run for a major party nomination? You would think some term of party membership would be a requirement. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. In that case you should understand what I mean when I say that the Pats are starting to remind me of the "Damned Yankees".
  24. While I do agree with your feelings about people overloading canopies beyond their design limits that's not the issue I'm trying to gauge here. I really want to know if it's true that riggers, especially sport skydive riggers, are imposing age limits. I know it's a forum and thread drift is inevitable, but I'm trying to isolate this one question only.
  25. As far as I know the US anthem is also gender neutral. Congratulations to you as well. The word freemen is in there, but all the definitions I can find for it are gender neutral. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
