  1. Not really the end of the discussion. I haven't done any research and I'm not about to because frankly I don't care that much. But the bold statement is probably true - if we are talking efficiency. No need for comities, voting, procedures, etc. It is not the legal or correct way, but it is efficient which is why it works in wartime. So the question is, "was that a credible threat or just someone talking, campaigning, pumping up her base?" If it was a credible threat then there is no need for congress to remove her. She should be arrested and charged for solicitation of murder. If you can't do that, then it is just posturing by her opposition and she should remain in the house. And yes I believe that if the laws are not there already, it should be a crime for a politician to advocate the assassination of anyone during a campaign speech.
  2. I see nothing wrong with Greene in congress. This is what it means to be in a representative democracy. Our government needs to have people of all types in there - not just the ones you like. QAnon should be represented just as much as progressive liberals. If the people of Georgia want someone like her to represent them, then she should be allowed to be there to represent their beliefs. And everyone else outside her district should not be able to say shit about it. Kind of like those a-holes in Texas trying to change the votes in Pennsylvania. Now if the people of her district decides that she has gone too far, they could do a recall (or whatever it is called) and vote her out of office. But since that hasn't happened, we can only assume that she has the full support of the people of her district and for me, I know now where in the US I personally would never want to move.
  3. And then in 20-30 years, all the school names will have to change again because all the Xbox fans are upset that schools are named after the Play Station. We should just get it over with and accept our fate and start naming everything Brawndo
  4. She was just jumping the gun. Need to wait until he is president in order to impeach. If Biden was a real man after he uttered the words "so help me God", he would have had the SS bring up a folding table and chair on stage and start signing executive orders undoing every one Trump signed. That would be real leadership. Instead what did he do? Give a speech. Have a parade. Shake some hands. And only hours later start signing executive orders. WHAT A LOSER. BABY! SAD!
  5. I want to be the first one on record to say that Congress needs to immediately start articles of impeachment on Biden right now. Or at the very least invoke the 25th amendment because Biden is too old and senile. Just look what he has already done as president. We now have another do-nothing president and things need to change.
  6. Trump not pay? I'm shocked. SHOCKED I TELL YOU! Bigly.
  7. Look, we all just need to get over this. If you cannot handle the virus, then you need to stay secluded from society. It has been too long already and this isn't going away so lets just move on. Anyway this is how we will evolve as a species. Those that can't handle it will die out and the rest of us will become stronger as a result. It really saddens me to look at a herd of gazelles and see them all lean, healthy and vibrant. Then I look at a herd of humans walking down the average city street or browsing on a dating app....
  8. You mean the way Trump and the Rs cut taxes for the rich to the point that the both the budget deficit (yearly) and the national debt (cumulative) have reached record levels? We haven't seen a deficit higher than GDP since World War 2, yet Trump managed to achieve it. And don't forget the billions he wanted to spend on the "Wall" (you know, the one Mexico was going to pay for). jaybird18c, Please copy and/or post a link of you complaining about the debt (and our grandkids paying for them, etc.) from one of the threads talking about the Trump tax cuts. You can even reply to this post. I'm too lazy to search for it and it should be very easy for you to link to that post you made. I'm guessing you never made one. But PLEASE prove me wrong!
  9. Not meaning to nit pick here, but I think the vast majority of countries officially recognize Trump as still being president. Come Jan 20, though.....
  10. It could also be that people are waking up to the failures of our system of government. They want and need a change. And besides it has been WAY too long since this country has been ruled by a fascist dictator and they see Trump as the only possibility for that to happen in their lives. We all need to stay tuned for today America votes for and elects the next president.
  11. I'll take the vaccine when it is approved by the EU. In today's day and age, I do not trust anything our pro-business corrupt government has to say.
  12. This also proves that the Rs were right and the Ds are wrong. There is no need for any more stimulus money and people are doing just fine as everyone has the money to decorate their house for the holidays.
  13. It really reminds me of those people who claim the rapture will be on Jan 17, 2020 Jan 18, 2020 - Nothing happened, oh we see where our mistake was. We didn't take into account that the earth's rotation is slowing. The new rapture date is March 15, 2020. March 16, 2020 - Nothing happened, it is obvious now how we could have been wrong about the date. You see the first day of spring has changed between now and back in the first century. Using the new calculation, the rapture WILL be April 4, 2020. April 5, 2020 - Nothing happened, we now see where the misunderstanding occurred. Every 4 years there is a blue moon occurring on the 3rd Monday of the month in August. Because of this, those events have moved the first event proclaimed in the Bible forward by 2 months from our initial calculation. We have now corrected for our error. The rapture is certain to happen July 9, 2020. Trust me, no one is better at predicting the rapture than we are. July 10, 2020 - Nothing happened. It's the atheist's fault. If they would just believe in the rapture it would happen. We must all go out and purge the world of atheists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc. so that we may spend time in the company of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jihad!
  14. I want to see the first person ever get secret service protection in prison. Hal: Bob, what are you doing tomorrow? Bob: I get to spend my day in prison.
  15. Yes, and that is the way it should be. The senate is not a representation of the population of each state (or the US as a whole). That is the "job" of the house of representatives. The senate is a representation of each state no matter how many people are in that state.
  16. I agree the FLOTUS gets a pass. The title of this thread should be FLOTUS hates decorating for Christmas. Why certain tasks are forced on individuals is beyond me. If the first lady doesn't want to do the decorations, she shouldn't have to. Let her assign it to someone who loves to do that and move on people.
  17. Actually Trump was right. Those military soldiers who died are losers and suckers. You people just don't understand what he was saying.You all just hate Trump and just don't want him to be known as greatest president to ever live! You can't see through your hate to understand what he actually meant. Let me break it down for you... If you died in battle, you have lost your life. Therefore you are a loser (of your life). Trump was also using the 5th version of the definition of sucker. Without the piston, a suction pump would be useless. Pistons are vital to the machine, just like soldiers are vital to the war machine. This is what Trump actually meant. Jeez. suck·er /ˈsəkər/ noun 1. INFORMAL a gullible or easily deceived person. o a person especially susceptible to or fond of (a specified thing). "I always was a sucker for a good fairy tale" 2. INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN a thing or person not specified by name. "he's one strong sucker" 3. a flat or concave organ enabling an animal to cling to a surface by suction. 4. BOTANY a shoot springing from the base of a tree or other plant, especially one arising from the root below ground level at some distance from the main stem or trunk. o a side shoot from an axillary bud, as in tomato plants. 5. the piston of a suction pump. o a pipe through which liquid is drawn by suction. 6. a freshwater fish with thick lips that are used to suck up food from the bottom, native to North America and Asia.
  18. All I can say to that is #EightMoreYears. #Trump2020 #Trump2024. After 2028, Trump will be too old to even care about being the figurehead that he wants to be. I'm sure he has never cared about doing the job of president. I'm actually shocked that in 4 years, Trump hasn't completely broken the US economy and turned us into a 3rd world country. We probably need 8 more years for that to happen. It is time for a change in world power/structure anyway. EightMoreYears.
  19. I miss those interest rates of the 80's & 90's. I could get a certificate of deposit for 6-8% APR. Now all I'm stuck with is investing in Tesla stock.
  20. Brent bought a Hybrid? I'm not quite up on religious dogma. Is this one of the first signs of the rapture? Ron? Anyone?
  21. That's practically on top of each other as seen from Mars.
  22. While this would be funny. It will never happen because being a former president, Trump will still have secret service protection even while in prison.
  23. Too bad you already picked a minimum of 6 hurricanes with 3 major in post 2030. We hit that number and you will concede that climate change is happening, right?
  24. No that will actually stop long before it gets to those who actually matter. You eliminate the bottom 10%. Then poor people from other countries will flock in to fill that 10% back up. Plus poor people breed more rapidly than rich. So you have a continual stream of poor people to exploit.
  25. And why shouldn't they. That makes perfect sense. Their citizens come here, work a little bit, and get the virus. You wouldn't want them going back home and spreading this in Mexico. Keep them in the US. Plus you get the added benefit of having those people not burdening the Mexican healthcare system. Make them stay in the US and burden that system. It is a win-win situation. The more I think about it, this whole virus action/inaction is all parts of Trump's master plan to limit the influx of illegal aliens. Well played, Trump. Well played.
