Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Traveled on business to Houston last week.
While sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for an Uber, some folks were on the couch behind me waiting for a shuttle.
TV in the lobby is on Faux Snooze, talking about how President Trump did very well in the Iowa Caucus. Lady says to her coworker that they they must have cheated to get such an idiot like Biden into office. Guy responds to her "Yeah but they will just cheat again this year".
Lady replies; "The Conspiracy Theorists say that Trump is still the president and the military took over with an executive order." He says something about everything is going down the tubes and Trump should've fixed it before he left.
I lean over to catch her eye and say; "You don't have to be President to be Commander in Chief of the Military."
She nods and says "That's right". No idea if she really knew that, or maybe she was just startled that a "Conspiracy Theorist" was dangerously close to her. š¤·āāļø š
I close with; "2024 is going to be a real eye-opener to all the fraud that has been going on".
i don't find that in a cursory search of who can be the commander in chief of the military, however is it possible I do remember some executive orders that may have transferred some powers from a future commander in chief to a past one?
