@jon-nyc said in Peaceful Transition of Power: @jolly Remember all those leftists that started offering “perspective” around 9/12/01? I found it to be of limited utility myself. Seemed more like apologism to me. Perspective, sir. Perspective. You're doing your best to sow the seeds of conflict, when conduct and law is not enforced fairly by a society. You want war? Best way I know to grow one...

@axtremus said in The Lincoln Project Threatens: @jolly said in The Lincoln Project Threatens: I think it hilarious that the organization Conway founded, is now trying to make sure his wife never works again. The Conways said they want time off to focus on their family; so I don’t think “working again” in the short term is something they care about. Even if Kellyanne does not work for political campaigns in the USA because of the Trump stink, she can still work foreign campaigns where voters don’t care about Trump at all. Besides, there is life, and work, beyond politics. Pay attention, lad. The Stalin wannabes at the LP want to make sure anybody who worked for Trump, never works anywhere again.

Flying in VR is so cool. You actually feel it when you make a turn, dive, climb, etc. Able to turn and look around the aircraft cabin. Looking outside and down to the ground, up to the stars. Night flying is super cool. I am using my RC Transmitter for my flight controls. It works really well. I might get some pedals and a yoke and throttle. Heck, I am building a full on Sim Racing rig I might as well build it out to handle flying too. The graphics are stunning on the 49" ultra-wide. I am actually flying out of my neighborhood airport. 44C [image: 20210118-150840.jpg] [image: 20210118-150904.jpg]

@loki said in $88M Lawsuit for Pain and Suffering due to Trump Ban: Can you imagine being a journalist A what? What is that, like a book binder or something?

@jon-nyc said in You start to feel stupid...: Operation Cat 10 is going according to plan. lol

It felt to me like none of the States thought that Op Warp Speed was going to produce the vaccine that fast. So they had not put much effort into how to get it to people. All summer they should have been getting ready to have everyone that can wield a syringe ready, including military doctors (and dentists), civilian dentists, and veterinarians. I hear the State's whining that they need more money, but at least locally I still see them using the same old budget priorities rather than shifting money around. I think it is ridiculous that the left thinks we should have deputized some huge new Federal bureaucracy to implement this.

Can you imagine what those repairers are thinking? "Study at the Kennedy School," they said. "Pursue a career in government service. It will be so fulfilling," they said.

If I recall, Bush gave a deadline and just a few hours after that passed we were in. I don't recall having much concern about the fight but do think I remember thinking we might have a much higher death toll. I remember the night vision video of all the anti-aircraft tracers and discussion of how devastating the stealth bombers were. I just finished watching W. two nights ago.

I read somewhere she has a friend in Russia who was going to sell it on her behalf. The FBI profilers must be having fun.

Meh ... pales in comparison to “character matters” before and after the Conservatives/Republicans know the character of their 2016 nominee. Ditto “deficit spending” and “executive overreach” and “double taxation” before and after they learnt who proposed those things, and “no filling a Supreme Court vacancy” before and after they know who gets to nominate the new justice.

He's my favorite Portland character.

Thanks!

If a man with as great a legal mind as Giuliani can't uncover some admissible evidence of widespread fraud, what hope is there for the rest of us mere mortals?

He might be busy with a law suit. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1351264364624445440?s=21

@taiwan_girl said in Impeach!: That may not be a bad thing. The remaining part of the Republic party can merge with the more central part of the Democrat party and form an actual central party. Leave the extremes on both sides to fight each other. LOL, there’s a helluva lot more than just 4-sides here. You have a fringe on each side willing to be violent, you have a fringe on each side willing to be cooperative, and then you have a much bigger middle on each side not willing to be violent, but also not willing to compromise. And both of those big middles are shifting towards the more dangerous extremes.

Anyone who says George Floyd was killed by police should be banned from all social media.
