@halfcenturyman And the Democrats, Obama in particular, deliberately blew that chance. Now, there is absolutely no hope of anything remotely like the New Deal happening, not with the President we’ll have and the Congress we’ll probably have. It’s too late now.

Only major structural changes will make a difference, and there’s no way to accomplish…[Read more]

@gzeush @halfcenturyman Shouldn’t that be “Bring your trade-in and you’ll be flying out of here in no time with a new F-15!” for a weaponized holiday?!

Thanks for your service @halfcenturyman

No, no vote suppression there

@halfcenturyman If it’s a minefield, it’s one with a clear and safe path through it about as wide as Iowa.

@halfcenturyman

Good point. I hadn’t even thought about that.

Yeah, another one bites the dust.

@halfcenturyman I don’t know about insurance, but it would certainly be assification.

@halfcenturyman The Iranians did show they have accurate mid-range ballistic missiles which can be accurately targeted. Again. They already did that at the Aramco oil facility in Saudi Arabia not all that long ago.
