    Can’t imagine losing my daughter. Just texted her to make sure she’s ok. 
     

    And I don’t think posting on the political board here would help process that unimaginable grief, quite the opposite in my opinion. 

    Yeah CR is not for somebody experiencing an unbelievable hardship like that. It has a way of breeding conflict.

    Well if it makes you feel any better I just got out of a 5 day stint in surly jail for allegedly personally attacking the sack.  No doubt due to a report by immortal. 

    Even though I disagreed with it, I’ve learned my lesson. I can honestly say I’m a changed man. I’m no longer a danger to surly society. That’s the gods honest truth. No doubt about it.

    When we lived in Taipei 1957-59 while Dad was part of the MAAG that was “advising” the Nationalist Army, he related the cynical story about how during WW2 the Generalissimo demanded $100 million in gold upfront to build the gravel runways in China that were to be used by our B-29s to bomb the Japanese.

    This new fucking crypto commercial being pitched by Matt Damon.

     

    while I techically know the Romans used the translation of "Fortune favors the Brave", the fact is, the standard accepted version of the translation is "Fortune favors the Bold" 

    because in a military context being bold and making bold moves helps you win the fucking battle.   

    Being brave can also win the battle... it can also mean you get killed because you are bravely running at the front of the fight and the first to die. 

    The Romans meant it as an ideal,  not a rallying cry.

     

    so yeah... that makes me surly when he keeps saying fortune favors the brave.  

     

    Being bold can also cause you to lose the battle .....into the valley of death rode the 600....

    Don't see her getting killed.  Paid off maybe.  Fuck it.  You're probably right.  The centralized power - monied and political- is too great.

    She'll be dead before she reveals anyones names.  I hate that I'm even typing that., but the powerful people on those tapes, and anyone else who frequented that place will be able to get to her somehow.

    Russia reconquering multiple Eastern European nations would be bad for everybody, worse than Ukraine.

    While the NATO expansion ramped up Russian paranoia, it also kept Russia in check for the past 20 years.

    They don't need a reason to be paranoid.  To be Russian is to be paranoid. It's part of their cultural psyche. 

    Russia is simply a mafioso state, and anything we can do to hem them in is good.

    I think at that point we were tired of war.  An intervention with Russia would not be good in the public eye.  I don't want to being race into it but I have to.  If it were against an Asian country no doubt we would have fought.  Against mother Russia not so much

    You can't separate race from WWII, especially when discussing Japan (or any other far eastern culture).  I agree people were damned tired of war.  That's why had we propagated a further war with Russia nukes would have been put on the table pretty quickly.

    Also how career academics and STEM experts are mostly nerdy, antisocial weirdos with a cavalcade of personality disorders that require pharmaceutical therapies…but once they taste the sweet nectar of popularity and being desired (sexually, culturally, financially etc.) and get the taste of being the quarterback of the football team, all the morality is out the door.

    So yer sayin' Dr. Faucci is getting lots on the side ?

  11. Thanks,

     

    Yep, I've always though that the massive soviet build up in 44-45 on the western front could potentially require a nuke to shut them down if we couldn't beat them with conventional arms, and there would be many who advocated saving lives by dropping nukes.

     

    Not sure about the trade route stuff, haven't thought that thru that much, but China would have been the next domino we'd have had to knock down.  War could have gone on into the late 40's probably.  They lost 22m people in the war, and their military and infrastructure was pretty F'ed up so not sure how much of a threat they'd have been with fighting men or material they could funnel to Russia

     

    Yes, eventually we'd have gotten there ?  It consolidated resources as you pointed out (manpower especially)  I know when it's crunch time I get some very good creative juices going.

    Tanks are fricking cool.  My best friend was an Abrams driver.  Said those things were flipping amazing.  If you can see it, you call kill it.  That's basically how bad ass that 120mm main gun is.  He used to talk about all the stories stationed in KY and at Hood of the dumb shit the tankers would do.  But when it was cold, the infantry loved them.  That giant turbine engine was like a massive space heater for guys to huddle behind when it was cold.

    Group buy for an weekend at the Ox ranch?

    Yep, have a close family friend who was as tank driver. He was stationed  in S. Korea, and talked about strapping his mountain bike on the back and driving up close to the DMZ, and then biking along the ridges, and trails doing reconoitering duties.

    This is my first go at anything more substantial than cutting boards and construction lumber garage shelves.

    Simple storage for tools / miscellanea for the basement.

    The top 4 drawers have the dividers and all of the pieces are friction fit so that they can be pulled out to make different sized sections.

    Well played.

    You idiots manage to shred a satire movie into an insufferable argument about which political party it satirizes

    Is there an argument about that ?

    Having not seen it, but watching the trailer it seems pretty obvious which party is being poked at with a pointy stick.

    Funny is funny, so it doesn’t matter which party gets poked.

    Took the dogs, the daughter, and mom to the ranch yesterday.  When we pull in mom says we need a new Texas flag that one is all faded.  So we go into town to eat dinner and after I go to Wal-mart to get a new flag.    The Wal-mart in Columbus, Texas only has two types of flags, U.S and Tennessee.  WTF?

    You’ve been invaded, and didn’t get the memo ?

    can we get a ruling on permissibility of cloaking up this thread?

    This is your own sad inability to let go of what made you a staunch GOP believing your were on the side of good versus evil. You didn't even bother to refute my points. You fail to even understand my points about Clinton.

    I didn't call the Jones incident a flirtatious affair. I didn't condone the Willinsky incident. Perhaps he did grope Kathleen Wiley, but she spent a lot of time with him and it's a he said/she said claim made at a time when you could make a lot of money being the she said.

    When you go back to your copies of American Spectator, the sticky pages are probably your favorites. 

    And fuck you for the phrasing of my tongue and Clinton's pants. Try not to let your unbalanced logical sensibilities lead you to grotesque phrasing that would get your nuts kicked up around your neck if you did it in person.

    That last reference was from the Young Ones,  it wasn’t meant to be serious at, and I’m sincerely sorry if it offended you. 

    . You did your best to downplay Clinton’s sexual issues , and any kidding aside that is utter Bullshit. He’s a sexual predator plain and simple.

    Negged for lying and willful distortion.

    Frankly, I'm not sure either abused power for sex. Clinton didn't come on to Lewinski, she came on to him with great fervor. You can fault him for the inappropriateness and his lying about it, but I don't think he abused power. I don't know when you think Trump abused power for sex.

    "Accused of rape, several checks for each"

    An army of women have detailed gross sexual assault from Trump who is on tape bragging of "grabbing them by the pussy." His ex-wife accused him of rape as did another private citizen with nothing to gain by doing so.

    Clinton is a womanizer, no doubt. I believe Paula Jones story about going to a room where he exposed himself anticipating sex with her that, I think, he believed would be consensual. Gross misinterpretation of the situation and undoubted sexual harrassment. The rape claims are very political leading me to doubt their veracity. They came amid the frenzy of right wing propaganda that was accusing Hillary of murdering her male lover while simultaneously being a lesbian.

    I don't think Clinton gets a power thrill out of affairs. I don't think Trump gets any other thrill out of his affairs and assaults.

    You falsely equate the actions of two different men hoping that the relative egregiousness will go unnoticed. It hasn't.

    You're now  free to return to reading old issues of American Spectator and jacking off.

    I’m sorry, but I think you’d like to stick your tongue down the back of his trousers .  Seriously dude the guy used his power to coerce women To have sex with him .  Stop with the womanizer shit . The Paula Jone incident wasn’t some flirtatious affair. He groped Kathleen Wiley days after her husband had died .

     

    clinton is a POS shit no less than Trump it appears, and if he was going to Epstein’s island that seals his POS status 

    he sexually assaulted women, there have been enough woman who’ve come forward with their stories about what they say he did or tried to do to them Jones, Willey are just 2 of the more prominent, and known incidents.
