    The main problem with a taser is that you use it just like your pistol. It is hard to have a pistol in one hand and a taser in the other. When a guy is closing in on you and your taser you are probably wishing you had your gun instead.

    @Larry said in Tonight On Tucker:

    A Senate panel investigating this matter has confirmed that everything the: guy told Tucker is true.

    It must take a special kind of naïveté to believe that the Senate can work that fast.

    You fit the description of the populace that, to quote Mik, “do not understand what they are voting for on even a rudimentary level.”

    Got your ass handed to you pretty quickly on this one, Ax..

    The Bidens were involved in business deals with Chinese communist government spies. One of which was already under investigation by the FBI. Three of their business partners are in prison. I would say the naive one is you, except the evidence refutes you so strongly it has to be sheer stupidity on your part.

    THis would be very good if it were worldwide, though price could be an issue for a lot of people. I know that there was an earlier forum thread about internet speeds. I typically get 3-4 Mbs download and little less than 1 upload.

    Having said that, most of the time, those speeds are "okay". However, video calls with lots of people can be bad, and sometimes trying to log in to remote computers to access their speeds does not work.

    I am a bit left side of center (but I dont think too far LOL), and my answer would be (probably) #3, depending on the third party and what they stood for.

    538's 'snake chart' now has Georgia leaning Biden, estimating 54% chance that George's electoral votes will go to Biden. Not sure how long that will last.

    Ohio was also leaning Biden for a while, but now leans Trump.

    The comments at the end of the article mentioned the Wiesel 2 as a possible companion vehicle. Maybe.

    It is currently in production and is helicopter transportable. It would give some direct heavy fire support. But its top speed is only 40+mph.

    On a side note, we are having a devil of a time getting blood and blood products because of COVID.

    It is interesting. The US is very strict on who can donate blood. For example, I am unable to donate in the US because I have been in Thailand within the past 1 year.

    Okay, I can understand that, but people donate blood in Thailand all the time LOL

    In the US, I believe that they are concerned about malaria. I would think that Thailand would have some sort of screening for that? Hmmm

    Why does this take so long?

    I've never waited for more than 60 seconds in any election I've participated in.

    It's New York. They're probably all queueing in their cars, honking and screaming and shooting guns in the air and stuff.

    Actually relatively recent for that ancient part of the world. Still very cool.

    I believe I had heard of that tunnel from the series Knightfall.

    @LuFins-Dad Well, President Trump couldn’t bring back manufacturing. I guess it is up to Vice President Biden to do so! 🙂

    Seems like alot of what was written could apply to both sides.

    I am pretty sure the Republics would be complaining if in 2016, the opposite were true.

    If there was a Republic president, democrat Senate and a dead Supreme Court judge. I think it is nave to think otherwise.

    The Constitution has been interpreted differently over the years.

    (Having said the above, I am not a good historian on the US constitution, but I do know that many many very smart people have disagreed on some of the meaning of it and how it applies to laws.)

    What Jolly said. You’re old enough to have outgrown the feeling of ‘but those health issues I hear others talk about will never happen to me’.
