  1. 2019 in the manner of ward bond. hey! one of my favorite youtubes is back up. guy talks about coming to north america and then talks of his youth in england and encounters with several people you've heard of. all while rebuilding one of the great british twins.
  2. heck you say. i've said before that this is the story of exactly one-half of my family. i've lived with this shit my whole life.
  3. i really like her looks. i see none of that fakey shit women paste on them to disguise what they really look like. this, here, is what i wish women would move toward, but attracting goofy men who want to be lied to appears to be too big a magnet. i once saw a pic of a young adult marilyn with no makeup, and it was the first time in my life that i thought that woman truly beautiful. crime she had to hide her true appearance. edit: found it.
  4. that's funny. i see a movie, too. only my movie is the deer hunter, and the nation has been forced to play a kind of russian roulette with some decidedly non-american americans ever since nixon. in my movie, the non-americans have just put one too many rounds in the revolver and we are just beginning to see the effect of that mistake.
  5. i just read someone speculating that this indicates cohen is already on board. that's been my guess, as well.
  6. when i read a brisket post i envision him in the future rolling around some rest home trying to get someone to agree that the world did end last tuesday.
  7. what you guys are missing is transagsylvania is a great place to decommit from. once you've gotten about all the adula$hun you're going to get, then switch to where you want to be.
  8. you want a measure for how on target the lady was? just check out how often her name and her performance get mention.
  9. one more thing. i keep seeing people try to frame this situation in liberal/conservative terms, and that's a gross misrepresentation. this whole matter is a legal issue and is centered on traitorous behavior, not politics. edit: fix poorly stated comment
  10. claims that the old board was more even than this one is testament to how people are waking up. it isn't conspiracy; it's awareness and involvement.
  11. i assume you mean a difficult-birth ferret.
  12. i had that same impression. i wish she had said: Mike Pence is what happens when Anderson Cooper doesn't know he's gay.
  13. yeah, i wonder if they plan to show him that plaza dealie.
  14. look around you. 2018 is going to be famous forever. like in: where were you in 2018?
  15. oh, i think the jewelly one can see the obvious and a whole lot more. like his ass is grass and bob mueller landscaping is unloading the trailer. his problem, i'm guessing, is he made some assumptions about how the gop overthrow of the nation was going to go and made sure he was positioned to shine like a silver spoon in the new government. now those efforts to help the traitors have snared his miserable ass and there's nothing he can do to save himself. he may die in prison.
  16. trump is the guy resolutely painting himself into a corner while hollering for a new bucket and fresh brush.
  17. question all along is that broidy may be trying to cover for someone a little too hot to reveal. interesting that avenatti is hinting that, i gather. edit: someone a good deal hotter than hannity we might assume.
  18. oh, shit. they're not going to go by what i say, are they?
  19. there are some smart fuckers on one end of this arena.

    i never worked as a systems engineer. i designed parts and assys.

    that's particularly interesting what you say. i totally agree, of course, and offer myself as a counterexample in the service of core-robber rating evidence. the major part of my adult life, my career, if that's what it was, was in the pursuit of design. not as a direct employee, but as a contractor hired to do specific work. i had opportunities a couple times to leave the road and take work as a direct employee with the job title design engineer, but i liked being footloose. almost always the job description for the assignment i took was design engineer and the project was almost always a fixed wing aircraft of some sort. once i did a fair amount of design work on the tail section and cargo-ramp-and-door of the v-22 tilt rotor and later did some minor modification work on military helicopters. attempted once to break into automotive work doing mainly body parts and the instrument panels for a star-crossed trash truck project. but all the rest was aerospace vehicles from business jets to airliners and military planes to mod projects on the structure of the suits we use for spacewalking. i worked alongside degreed engineers doing the exact same things they were doing, but my degree was in english. (hey, can i help it if english and engineering have the same abbreviation? i ask you now.) okay, okay. i spelled it out: E N G L I S H, and it cost me jobs a number of times, i'm sure. but i hope to face my folks in the afterlife if there is one, and my dad would kick my ass from heaven to hell and back, or vice versa, if he caught me lying. just on the safe side i try hard to stay out of that. anyway, i say all this stuff to try to give the picture. the projects i worked on were some of the most major aircraft of the generation. top business jets and airliners and a plane that keeps our fleets safe from our president's closest allies. names like cessna and gulfstream. boeing and airbus. the old grumman company. sometimes structure work. sometimes flight control or environmental control (think air conditioning, wing de-icing, cabin air pressure, for starters). sometimes working alongside some of the best design people in the nation. some knew my degree was in english and i needed more help than most, but lots of people i worked with had no idea that i wasn't brought along the same or similar as them. truth was i had almost no hours in engineering of any sort. so why am i saying all this? because this is exactly the counterpoint to the truth you stated, hugo. as a group we are highly compartmentalized in education and experience. i was famously not. i've studied all kinds of subjects and done lots of different stuff. and for that reason, largely, i usually rose quickly in whatever new place i was working to doing some of the most difficult and challenging work they were doing. in general design, i mean. in fact, i normally set a mental counter when i went somewhere new. if in x-amount of time i hadn't been spotted and a process of tasking-in-accordance hadn't begun, i set my tack to exit the place. the very fact that i had never experienced the classroom conditioning and workplace mentoring that aerospace is famous for gave me one hell of an advantage in many situations. every job i had was a new world for me, and i had to quickly begin my assimilation all over again. coming in fresh and largely unseasoned meant every possible solution was fair game to me and i didn't have much in the way of assumptions. contractors have encapsulated wisdom in the form of sayings to pass to the new generations. one of my favorites of the sayings says, if it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid. i made a life of breaking molds, and it served me well. the educational and mentoring process was a harness that didn't fit me.
  22. you mean billie sol done failed us?
  23. not to change the subject or anything, but i can't find a better place to put this. so, congressional repubs strong-armed rosenstein to get the comey memos and spill them to forever turn the tide in their favor. i don't see the tide turning. let's do a little review, shall we? remember the nunes memo that was going to redefine everything? dot dot dot and now this gross misunderstanding of the true meaning and real effect of the comey memos. at what point do we realize that RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. i mean it's true: RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY. they don't really have a grasp on reality. now, that's true when you look at politics and it's true when you look at the legal world and it's true when you look at economics. think back on reagan and his trickle down. did that bonehead really believe that was good for america or was he corrupt? given what we are seeing these days, i'm leaning toward the fool really thinking that was good. what reagan and his right-wing repubicans did to this country is still dragging us down, and now today RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE A FAIRYTALE UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY continue to apply the finishing touches of their warped vision to finish us off.
