  1. At least one wing commander has it all figured out.
  2. Also thought he was just an ass to everyone, but roughly everything in West Virginia is already named for him anyway.
  3. I would never confirm this works, but when your tv provider and the company that owns the local channel don’t get along...it’s nice to have recipes.
  4. Probably continue getting whatever waiver they already have and move along.
  5. Everyone seems to think he’s just being hampered by the Williams, so would be interesting if he performed well in the Merc given the chance.
  6. I think this demonstrates that you don’t.
  7. It doesn’t seem like you understand our nuclear umbrella that we promise to our allies.
  8. May be 80 years old, but still severe enough most of our National security strategy is built around countering countries that possess them. It’s probably best to have less countries to defend against, aside from the pandoras box of gulf nations that will try making them if Iran has them and some weak agreement where they “don’t make any efforts toward weapons” isn’t going to cut it.
  9. Your “delay” is just that...one that leads to them also developing weapons. Our position is non proliferation, make the consequences dire not soft and laughable.
  10. The Iran deal was about as “good” and “effective” as the Paris climate one. All facade, no substance.
  11. Forget masks, just distance people.
  12. If I’m staying distanced from others...how are you at risk?
  13. I just said I take responsibility for mitigating my own risk instead of expecting everyone else to do it for me. Way different philosophy.
  14. I minimize my risk be keeping more than 6 fr from other people unless absolutely necessary; that’s far more effective than a mask. And as to skipping thanksgiving, if you do it in a mitigated manner why shouldn’t you be able to visit? Sure, go full LA county and ban outdoor dining. I guess the most interesting thing I’ve observed is that places with mask mandates and curfews are having spikes as bad or worse as places that are less restrictive.
  15. She’s a bit of a zealot; that’ll get interesting.
  16. No, you could not catch covid by quarantining yourself. You interacting with people puts you at risk.
  17. Or we could allow society to continue with minor adjustments for social distancing, and let the elderly participate as much or as little as they want based on how much risk they accept for themselves instead of widespread shutdowns that disproportionately affect the working ability of the younger able people who are at lower risk. Philosophically, restricting the entire society to protect the least productively valuable doesn’t make much sense.
  18. Isn’t that the nature of diseases, generally, that they disproportionately affect the older population? Our advances in medicine in the last hundred years have greatly outpaced evolution’s ability to catch up so that immune response stays strong later in life with the increased life expectancy. We already spend a great deal of our medical effort on keeping people alive longer, so it’s a valid discussion on whether the whole of society should be diminished to protect the segment with the least productive potential.
  19. From that post, I’m not sure she understands the concept of the exchange of goods for currency, or where the UAE lies in the scheme of geopolitics and human rights problems. Really nonsensical, but it is sensational. I was incredibly surprised she didn’t come close to being challenged in this election.
  20. Whoah, let’s not go that far.
  21. Then you’d probably have to admit to Congress that everything isn’t good, and also admit that the retention tools you have claimed are working aren’t actually adequate to request new options from Congress.
  22. You didn’t answer anything.
  23. Sooooo your lack of addressing the question and deflecting says being a Senator didn’t qualify/prep Obama to be a president from a leadership and decision making perspective, copy.
  24. You’re as bad as the crazy account guys with respect to having to get your say in.
  25. About the same level we get from you anytime anyone mentions Donnie. You know you don’t have to complain about him constantly, right?
