In the early 1980s I flew PanAm between Frankfurt and Moscow a few times when the Lufthansa flight was booked solid. I recall the cabin service being perhaps a step or two above Aeroflot, but in the basement in comparison to Lufthansa. Best European airlines I flew were KLM and Finnair. The latter, when possible, was always my first choice.

I'm not sure how the federal government can pass laws dictating how the states will run their voter rolls. Have to admit I'm not very educated on how all that works together, but I suspect that is what the 6 justices' decision might be based on.

@89th said in The Kamala Krowd: I have a friend who went to the rally. From pics I'd say a good 50k people were there, maybe more maybe less, who knows. Honestly, my immediate thought was... "aren't these people getting deja vu from Hillary's final speech in 2016?" [image: 1730293710680-85b58006-5e9f-49cf-967a-979a7b064296-image.png] I see a sea of shit. So much shit - apostrophe - the porta-potties had to be overloaded with that large of a crowd.

@Tom-K Well, Larry's gone. Let him rest in peace. He's had too many demons to struggle with.

@Horace said in Oversight Committee to DHS: Give us the Walz Files: Living a lie would not be surprising for Tim "big fat liar" Walz. Maybe the entire internet is right, when it calls him that. Again, his name is Tim "hotdish" Walz. That doesn't help, considering that's the nickname the boys locker room gave him.

Wow! He must have taken a pretty big gulp! Kind of sad that he knew what he did and the consequences.

@Jolly said in Now they'll know how many votes they need: If it never happened, it wouldn't be written into law. Would it? I am sure it has happened before. But I think that the amount of times it has and does happen is very very very small. In all the time you have received mail, how many times would you say that you have received a legimately mailed piece of mail without a postmark? Maybe way back when when mail was sorted by hand, it happened more often, but I think now, with scanning and sorting technology, there are more places where the mail would be rejected if a postmark was not scanned.

@taiwan_girl said in Who's the better shoveler?: @Horace was unable to log into this forum, so asked me to post this for him: "Prior to watching that video, I was going to vote for VP Harris. Knowing that shoveling is a big part of the presidents job, I am now going to have to rethink my vote. It is all so confusing and challenging to compare our two candidates." Thanks for posting that TG. I would also add that Kamala has shoveled so many lies, I am a little surprised she is not better at it.

@George-K said in Strike!: just kicked the can down the road for his successor. Like a true politician. LOL Promise the world and pay for it with tomorrows money!!

@LuFins-Dad yeah. That’s her.

Elon has to get us off this rock before it’s too late.

@Renauda said in The most votes for President, ever.: If Kamala-lama-ding-dong loses, I'm sure she'll be the nominee in 2028 Not very likely. Nominee in 2028 that is. Agree. I think that there will be a somewhat unknown person. Who could have predicted Trump in 2012. In 2020, who would have predicted Vance would be where he is today.

@89th Good post I will add that President Trump is, like most nationalist populists, good at shifting blame to others, and having people believe it. Most politicians try to do this, but good populists are able to convince people better than others.

@George-K said in Is there anything Trump can't do?: https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1850634487161336292 I think @jon-nyc suggested that before those two. They should give credit where it should be. LOL
