    I totally disagree with the notion that Trump is a "win/lose" type. That is purely an opinion, one reached without paying attention to what he actually does.

    Again, opportunity knocks. We could probably Pearl Harbor their whole navy at will.

    Wouldn't take much...

    Fox: "[Former NSC spox Michael] Anton told guest host John Roberts the substance which ignited to cause the powerful blast was ammonium nitrate -- a key component of agricultural fertilizer that had been stored in a warehouse at Beirut's port since 2013, when it was offloaded from a Russian-leased ship that had made an unscheduled stop there.

    "Officials have worried about this for years saying we have to get this out of here," Anton said. "This dragged on for seven years."

    "Anton added that Lebanon's government has been in a state of turmoil for more than four decades and is neither completely functional, nor does it have full control of all of its territory."

    @89th said in miss this guy too:

    Wow can’t believe it’s been more than 11 years! He and I used to have some heated debates. I think I thought he was a sock puppet for a long time, too.

    Wow!!! I did not know it was that long (I am embarrass to say that I had forgotten he had passed).

    Who was the young lady he was married to?

    EDIT: Jon, you and I posted at the same time. Thanks for the info. It would be scary. I am not sure ho w I would react if I were in his situation.

    @jon-nyc said in Where’s Biden?:

    He’s letting Trump campaign for him. Probably a good strategy.

    Agreed. I was just thinking how...weird it is. Such a different campaign compared to the past where folks would visit 3 states a day and lose their voice from speaking so often.

    what picture?
    I don't see one, just a little blue square below the "With all due respect to the members here who own Audi's..."

    The little blue square has a question mark in it.

    How about stats related to small brick and mortar business and how they have fared? I suspect those numbers would be striking.

    @Jolly said in New George Floyd video:

    Note the word riots in my post. They may have started out as protests, but they devolved into riots very quickly.

    George previously commented that he doesn't care how many of the protesters are demonstrating peacefully, because to him the rioting negates that.

    That's a fair position. Saying though that all of the peaceful protesters just disappeared and none of that exists anymore is completely untrue. If you believe that then you're only listening to your preferred echo chamber.

    Don't need an echo chamber, just a set of Mark I eyeballs...You're bending over backwards so far to be fair, you're letting the hogs stampede through the lot gate.

    No, I'm more or less siding with George at present. The peaceful protesters are still out there, and I think there are legitimate gripes, but the peaceful don't seem to be doing much to speak out against the woke racists and the rioters, which needs to happen.

    Otherwise, yeah. Being objective takes work. Extracting an accurate understanding from outrage porn confirmation bias on both sides takes work. That's what's required.
