When you booze, you lose.

Thank you! Heheh.....

Yup, I already do.

I do! I live in east Tennessee, and TN is a Constitutional Carry state.

Let them remain delusional. They simply cannot bring themselves to look deeply into their message and their philosophy and admit they were wrong, and to admit that the American people have moved on, beyond their lack of vision, their lack individual freedom, and their disinterest in making America great again.

These scruffy "dissidents" can forever mutter amongst themselves, planning and plotting a delusional society that will never exist, deeply entrenched in the Marxist ideology of the 19th Century. Let them fade away into political irrelevancy, for all I care, and go the way of the Luddites and the Jim Jones cult.

Can we go armed? If so, I'm in.

Government lying? I refuse to believe that! Bwahahaaa...

Oh, O'Bummer is pissed... well that's good. He's also helpless to change it. America has moved on and he's desperate to appear relevant again.

And THIS is why we have no business involving ourselves in barbaric wars abroad. The West is a more civilized part of the world, these sand apes practice brutality just to stay in practice. Let them kill each other, it doesn't involve America.

A week in jail might wipe that smirk off of her face.

PJ O'Rourke once famously said, "I don't want to abolish government, I just want a government small enough that I could drag it to the bathroom and drown it in the tub if I needed to."

Married 37 years and we laugh a lot, hold deep philosophical discussions, and couldn't do without each other. I came across a saying the other day that describes us perfectly. "God never puts two people together to help just one of them."

We truly believe that.

Definitely an amateurish hit job. Hung around the area a long time before the shooting, allowed himself to be photographed so he didn't scope out the area ahead of time, hung on to the gun... even the details of engraving the casings left clues, as did the backpack he jettisoned nearby. While in prison he should write a book called "How To Commit a Crime and Get Caught."

Thanks, pretty much doing that already this morning.

Thanks. I call my wife "Nurse Ratchet" after the character in "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest." She nursed me through cancer a few years back and she was very strict about meds and such. This was WAY before the world knew about IVM, so she's sort of a walking encyclopedia of medical knowledge.

This morning I did a double dose of C, zinc, Quercetin, and D. I haven't gotten into my IVM stash yet, waiting to see if this passes first or gets worse. Thanks.

I can't take alcohol in any form, I've been clean and sober for over 36 years now and don't want to jeopardize that.

Thanks. I have some echanacia tea and will try it.

Thanks. I don't have children or grandchildren and often refer to younguns as "petri dishes." The wifely unit suggested I start off by gargling warm salt water and upping my C and zinc doses for the next day or so, rather than start on Ivermenctin. She's good about such stuff so I'll follow that today and tomorrow, but if I don't start getting better, I will dip into my IVM stash.

Hmm, well that's the FIRST "manifesto" I've ever read (and I include Marx's "Communist Manifesto" in that assessment) that is cogently written and makes some sense. I don't necessarily condone what he did, but I can empathize with his and his mother's absolute frustration at UHC. Pain, hopelessness, and helplessness can drive people to do desperate things.

If the Medical / Pharmaceutical / Insurance industry is smart (and I'm not claiming that they are), the industry might want to learn the lesson from this and adjust their sails accordingly.

It didn't necessarily involve Hegseth himself, could have been any number of personas or agencies... from the Trump transition team, Trump himself, a Trump-friendly person in Congress. Working the system can involve many different players and power brokers. I don't know if Hegseth himself would have the means or leverage to prompt such a change.

I suspect that some late-night deal was made that changed her mind. There's an unspoken, but very old, principle in Washington that goes "Yes has no power." In other words, if an official first says "No" to a proposal, then people will deal and trade something of value to get to a "Yes." But if the official first says "Yes," then he/she has no bargaining power.

"Cuz we wuz KANGS back in Afika, an' you crackers done ruined all dat!"

You're right, it is hard to take such people as this seriously. He sounds a lot like Jordan Neely, the very guy talking trash in the subway that started this mess and necessitated Daniel Penny to step in.

"With WA billions in the hole..."

Interpretation: "With WA unable to control its profligate, excess spending habits..."

No new taxes, we need government reform, like one would cut off an alcoholic uncle who got hold of your credit card.

Ho hum, these "journalists" are getting tiresome. In Shakespeare's time it made sense that he wrote in a play, "First we must kill all the lawyers." Today he would be in favor of killing all the fake "journalists."
