    Seeing the classified documents case against Trump dismissed has sent me to a level of despair about this country that is lower than it has ever been during my lifetime. This is a truly screwed up country. His actions were illegal, unconscionable, and immoral. And he faces no consequences at all, and worse yet 48% of the population is too stupid to realize he is traitor to this country. It’s just unbelievable.

    Jesus would you two dipshits shut up.

    So is this basically Schloss bringing in his recruit who he feels better about from A&M and then Lyons flipping to Aggie because of it? Or, vice versa?

    Several in our group did white water rafting and it was good water flow. That was a few weeks ago. A few also did Trestle and raved about it, including my daredevil son who mountain biked for only the second time and went down the black routes like he typically does on anything the first time. Crashed hard and walked with a limp and claw fingers for a few days.

    Ok, I've finalized an itinerary where we go from Edinburgh to St Andrews to Portlee/Islay to Oban to Islay to Glasgow over a few weeks. I've been able to work around some limited hotel availability, a festival, and a few other items that were making planning difficult. Just a side note, Hagbard had nailed it. His itinerary made more sense for what we were doing. Trying to figure out the best hotel/location to stay in Oban. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know. Or, if you would recommend a place out of town or nearby.

    I had a job in Dallas for three years while living in Austin. I found that mixing up all three modes of transportation was best. Sometimes I drove, sometimes I used Vonlane, and sometimes I flew. The mix should be based on where you live in Austin and where you work in Dallas. I live in North Austin and worked in North Dallas, so the bus and driving were used more often than flying.

    At least this event took focus off all of the democrats publicly calling for Biden to exit the race. They need to figure all this out behind closed doors outside the public eye.

    So I think I can follow most of what you've described. I understand now the challenge of going out to St. Andrews. Also complicating it is that we might try to sign up to play while there and wait in line. So, I'm leaning toward spending the night in St Andrews, and then doing what you suggested, head straight to Portree. We would then go to Oban and spend a few days, although I don't know what we will be doing there. If we do that, then the drive from Portree to Oban is fine. We'd then take the ferry from Oban to Port Ellen. I didn't understand your comment about the ferry schedules not working in the other direction. We would then drive from Port Ellen to Glasgow and fly out of Glasgow to London or the US.

    holy cow, this information is incredible. I got sidelined for the last several weeks because I was in Colorado and then had a surgery. I'm just now trying to firm up the plan. Let me digest all of this. Thank you so much for the input.

    I’m sorry your wife has left you and you are sleeping in a hotel.

    Post deleted because some idiot on surly I’ve never heard of can’t read and somehow thinks the post condoned the shooting, which it did not. Rather than point out his lack of reading comprehension I’ll just delete the post.

    As someone earlier said, what various politicians say about Biden at this point is completely secondary to the private polls they are privy to on swing states. If those polls show Biden losing and Harris winning, the Dems must make the change. And if they don’t, well then buckle up.
  14. Dbeasy
    They are so ill-informed, they lump everything into one big blob. Trump’s espionage of trying to sell state secrets and actively hide documents? Well, Biden had documents. When you try to explain to them they are completely different things, they just shrug. It’s infuriating they can be so illogical.
  15. Dbeasy
    Aren’t these general polls meaningless? The only polls that matter should be all of the swing states polls, unless I’m missing something.

    Verbatim the same conversation I’ve had with independents who went trumpy.
  17. Dbeasy
    The hell I did. With all your fancy qualifications it’s disappointing that you are not familiar with the definitive authority on the topic. Ich Bin Ein Berliner!

    People wanting to stick with Biden have forgotten the first rule of public speaking and first impressions. It’s 70% how you look, 20% how you say it, and 10% what you say. The fact that Trump babbles lies and nonsense is way less important than the fact that Joe looks and sounds too old to govern.

    Given Clooney’s extremely clear comments about both his personal experience of being with Biden and the private views of senators and congressmen, I just don’t see how Biden continues. Pelosi’s purposely cryptic comments sounded like she was saying withdraw or we will help you decide to withdraw. She’s trying to give him some dignity on the decision. And as far as the whole approach Democrats have taken on this issue, it’s been handled incredibly poorly. If they for whatever reason can’t get him out, they lowered his odds of winning dramatically with their public bickering.

    It’s 900 pages and I didn’t see any summaries. Somewhere in the universe someone has boiled it down to non-politically charged language. Thanks to TwiceHorn for providing one solid example. That’s what I was looking for. As for the rest of you dipshits, I wasn’t expecting you to summarize it for me. I was looking for a source where it had been summarized. Fuck off .

    I think I’m missing something. Has everyone not seen the two sides’ memes of Project 2025? Of course you have. They are everywhere. Maybe, but obviously I must be missing something. Oh. So Project 2025 isn’t a serious piece of work, it’s just propaganda? Now that I think about it, why would I think they would produce serious work? Yes, and summarize each policy in a one sentence bullet point that is not described in propaganda language, but in a true description of what the policy really is trying to convey. But, if it is all just propaganda, then nevermind. And based upon the above I guess it is. So…nevermind?
  22. Dbeasy
    Does anyone have a simple summary of a non-politicized, non-propaganda version of Project 2025. What I’ve seen from Dems and Pubs are very politicized versions.
  23. Dbeasy
    no kidding. It’s infuriating.
  24. Dbeasy
    Dude. It’s already happened. It’s all people are talking about. The damage has been done. You are in complete denial. First of all, it’s absolutely NOT just the media. His own party, including Pelosi (!) has called him out. Why are you denying reality? And yes the media has been unfair. So what. It is what it is. Deal with it, by addressing the media concern. Because the Dems sure can’t message their way out of a bottle. And regarding your comment below, whine all you want, on the way to losing the election.
  25. Dbeasy
    It’s amazing to me that democrats like Stassneyhorn continue to live in denial. There is a small chance Biden could pull this out, but there are way way better odds of putting Harris in there instead. The critical independents decide this election and they don’t want either candidate. I think with Harris and a proper hit campaign on Trump she would destroy Trump. Edit: just think about a debate between Trump and her. She would destroy him. She strong. She’s an ex prosecutor. She would annihilate him. It would be so awesome to see
