Re: Trump's Secret Documents. The World awaits.

Ah. The old "polls said so" routine. :coffee: The polls said what they said, stick to the subject - that the FBI is in the tank for the Democrats; which they never have been and never will be. Shit, when things get slow on the treason front they'll go after the tree huggers again. I have ...

Re: 2022 Elections Thread

I just saw an explanation, SD. It's VERY confusing, and Sarah mentioned that after. A ranked choice election is conducted in "rounds." If one candidate gets 50% of the vote in the first round, that candidate wins. If not, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and the second c...

Re: Biden’s Scorecard

Of the four Presidents I can reasonably evaluate in my lifetime, Biden's been the greatest by a mile.

I'd like him to be less conservative, but at this point, he gets my vote again in the GA (but not the primary) if he runs in '24.

B-, with most the points off for the Afghan withdrawal.

Yeah buddy, not at Mar-a-Lago. I've designed SCIF facilities. I have a feeling some here have worked them. Mar-a-Lago is not a SCIF facility.

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?

If it's genuinely nuclear related, and Trump's indicted and a jury convicts him, attorneys need to pursue the death penalty. His idiocy and narcissism is putting our entire nation at risk...our friends, families, loved ones, etc. While January 6 was traitorous IMO, it's an internal issue to sort out...

Why isn't Louise Gaille a good source? What is wrong with Gaille's list of pro's & con's? It presented what IMO is a fairly objective list. While I think UHC should be considered, I try to be objective enough to realize that it's not a panacea and there will be issues. Those issues can be bette...

Why should other people pay for my healthcare? If I cant do it myself then I will accept the outcome, its nobodys business but mine and its definitely not anyone elses bill to pay for.

Yes, and so would his family.
