  1. Biden was stuck with the withdrawal plans negotiated by Trump's maladministration. So, it's on his hands for the entire debacle. Some equipment was left, routers, switches, some crypto devices, all configurations erased, crypto zapped, rendering that equipment useless to the Taliban. Would've cost more to pull it and send it to the US than it was worth by a factor of three. Actual military equipment was thermited. So, if it's proof against molten steel boiling its way through, I've yet to find that kind of equipment - despite over 28 years of military service. But then, serial business failure Trump, who turned $20 billion into $300 million and serial bankrupted more businesses than Carter has little liver pills knows better. Spend $10 million to take up $3 million in old network equipment and slagged vehicles and worn out, melted weapons. As for the GOP, always claiming our military is weak, pitiful, useless, cut the VA budget from 1982 to the second year of the war, only stopping when the public became outraged that men and women were redeploying home to receive no VA care because they tanked the VA budget. Yeah, they only care for the photos, then they screw the veterans and never, ever offered a reach around. And their maniac faction threatens to take up arms and expects that repeatedly beaten down military to join them? No, deliver white phosphorus to them, merrily smoking and burning, the only way we'd join them is if we bayonet charged their remnants once they did take up arms. But, what would I know? Only served for over 28 years and contracted with them daily, they know more than I do, based upon their vast experience acquired on their Twinkie encrusted sofas.

  2. The difference is simple enough, 8 billion is 8000 million. So, 1 = 1000 in Musk Math. Which is explained via the mathematical proof of accordion hands. Also known of as bullshitting. Hence, why I call their output DOGEshit. BTW, at the risk of repeating myself, their non-agency is named for a reason, I'm quite certain. It's a message. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_(title)

  3. It is better to remain silent and be thought the fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. MTG shouts instead.

  4. Wrong all around. Try reading actual history, rather than propaganda. Lincoln ordered all slaves in territory taken by the Union Army freed. Freed is the opposite of seized, a good dictionary will serve to show you that. Scott was suing over his citizenship as a freed slave, if citizenship is property rights in your mind, you need to get an operational mind. The court decision was also recognized by the SCOTUS in numerous commentaries on other cases as a deficient decision.

  5. And if the same hits an independent state, such as oh, another nation, it's just lousy marksmanship, as usual. Perfect deity, lousy shot. What a religion...

  6. The ironic part is, the father was Lot, "the only good man of Sodom and Gomorrah". The issue, Moab, who settled in what's now Jordan. The bible teaches field sanitation and moral stories. Rather than learn the origin and reason, they simply lock into tradition and the word of the law, rather than the spirit it was intended. Then, enjoy the buffet line, picking and choosing what they like, ignoring what they don't like. One test for such people, ask them why they're allowed to eat pork, when Jesus would've refused. If they don't quote Acts 10:15, they're ignoring Leviticus out of convenience and tradition, rather than by justification. Hence, damn themselves by their own willful ignorance of the laws of their faith, per their own faith.

  7. Historians still argue the finer points of just what a skyscraper is. The first skyscrapers were a massive five stories tall. That's still brick and mortar height, but soon steel frames began to be used. In reality, skyscrapers are like porn, impossible to precisely define, but one can claim to know it when you see it. Then, meet others that find every art museum in the land is a porn stash.

  8. I note zero citations in support of the claim of liberals attacking children (I'm assuming children are being discussed and not baby goats). And by indoctrination, schools should stop teaching reading, arithmetic, civics, history, the Constitution and science? Guess medicine, engineering, electronics, networking, computers and all vehicular repair will end fairly soon then. I'm really starting to agree with the ancient Athenians. They refused to allow the idios to vote, which would leave the majority of the MAGA crowd out, as they are idios, uneducated being the meaning of the word.

  10.  @wiretamer5710  what's amazing is, it was an old and settled argument in 1879, when case law was first sealed after the SCOTUS finally tired of hearing the same tired cases over and over again, repeatedly quoting that commie Thomas Jefferson (at least, some Trumpites called him a communist). That's over 150 years of repeated and finally at 145 years ago, sealed case law that they still argue against.

  11. And Protestantism is based upon earlier Catholic practices, largely objecting to indulgences being made available for sale. Something Christ objected to in the Temple, but got ignored over money changers, rather than the reason that the commercial activity was condemned.

  12. It's only a factor of 1000 difference. Exactly the same, as proved by accordion hands mathematics.

  13. Let's be real, Aktion T4 is Trump's goal. He's using the rest of that play book and well, I don't like being played, really loath a notion of my grandkids getting played and my kids call me in for reinforcements when they're getting played. And I'm a combat veteran, , the Almighty himself takes notice when we get angry. I ask the GOP, do they literally want to enjoin literal boiling tar and feathers? I'll happily ensure shit coated feathers.Or jumping on the blade during a National Razor event... And for the force upon mythical force type, I'm literally certified on all weapons short of howtizers. The mortar certification just newly discovered in my 201 fileand likely a reciporcation for m my instrudtorhood in in TOW missile training. I'm the prick that both hit the 5 km target and routinely calls in a 10 digit grid precisely.

  14. It's impossible for them to think, they never tried to, never learned to and will never think. They want to be told what their beliefs are by someone who sounds authoritative. @susandavey2361, wrong. Condoms are around 87% effective. That means they work around 87% of the time, but are indeed better than nothing. That said, a pregnancy would've killed my wife for the last 15 years of our marriage and she couldn't tolerate birth control pills or implants without having a stroke. The condom bill would've been astronomical for us. But, I thank you for wanting to spend my hard earned money for me.

  15. They live in small online enclaves largely controlled by Russian controlled and built media outlets. Two of which are direct competitors for Fox and were founded by Russia. Complete with paper trail. Their only defense, the Groucho Marx defense, "Who are you gonna believe, your own eyes or me?".

  16.  @wiretamer5710  so is sedition. The only way out of that is to get the SCOTUS to rule that the Constitution is unconstitutional and hence, null and void. Which would then be a meaningless ruling, as they'd have ruled that they cannot have any valid rulings, since they have no authority.

  17. It's bad enough that this 28 year Army veteran's ashamed of the nation.

  18. Well, proposed in 1954. But, was on the two cent piece for a year in the 1860's. And basically was converted notionally into "In God we trust, all others pay cash".

  20.  @micheleadamson9867  released on compassionate parole, as his neurosyphilis had progressed enough he spent his last year in the prison hospital. Left with the mental capacity of a 12 year old, despite eventual successful treatment in 1942, he died in 1947 of a stroke, likely contributed to by the damage by the neurosyphilis.

  21. If there's a civil war reenactment, a confederate flag is appropriate, the same in a museum exhibit on the civil war. Over a state capitol, then there's a need to send the US Army in and explain matters to them - again. Over one's house or one's vehicle, treated as an insurrectionist. That's cultural as well, ask any German. Removal from a reenactment, you've changed it into something else and just ban reenactments and education on the war entirely, as you wish to destroy the lessons imparted by the entire hot mess and hence, we'll repeat those harsh lessons until we learn and remember properly. Personally, I want to replace and again fly my Serapis flag, one authorized to be flown by my old historic unit and at one point, the only US flag recognized in Europe, despite it being incorrect. Something that I find rather humorous, that our language is so deficient that a letter explaining what our flag looks like could be interpreted so utterly wrong. A humor that recognizes how easily miscommunication can have either humorous effects or as easily, tragic effects.

  22.  @wiretamer5710  and a fair part of the oppression of religious warfare in the UK was literally in the living memories of the founders. Religious warfare within the "religion of peace", Christianity in Europe literally killed off half of the population and festered until the 1800's. Hell, it was controversial when a Presidential candidate wasn't a Protestant, even to within my lifetime, when our first Roman Catholic President was elected - JFK. There were attempts to outlaw Judaism in some southern states, the SCOTUS ordered that nonsense stopped. Grant tried to forcibly relocate Jews from captured territories, generating a huge mess for him legally and he rescinded that idiotic order and stated his regret for the remainder of his life. Amish men were murdered for being conscientious objectors to war, our nation ignoring the first amendment until the SCOTUS got the cases for them, many deceased and upheld their beliefs.

  23. Actual Republicans are entirely different beasts than MAGA "Republicans". The real ones are typically far more centrist and well, reasonable and capable of compromise for the common good. MAGA types want to tear everything down that they can't control or comprehend and especially, what their god-emperor wannabe wants them to destroy in his unholy name. Most sold out faster than an addict needing a fix, purely out of political survival, forgetting that they'll remain forever stained in the minds of the populace who have an operational memory.

  24.  @Vann20F  interesting way of saying it in a decidedly non-native speaking way. As one does not fill out a resume.

  25. Well, we do! Out of many, one hot mess. ;) What's been forgotten, again, is consensus, not total agreement, compromise, not obstruction until one gets one's way like a three year old having a tantrum. We did have similar in the past - all the way down to platforms, the Native American Party, aka the Know Nothing Party, who so obstructed and hijacked things in the Whig party that it disbanded and a new Republican Party was formed to get around their antics.

  27.  @unknown5150variable considering that is pure fiction, I'll disregard the remainder. What was said, quite late in his teachings was to for two followers to buy swords, so that he could be counted as amongst criminals to fulfill scripture. Not "hey, go shove a sword up the ass of anyone who won't follow me". "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send [or bring] peace, but a sword." Followed immediately by, "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me". Kinda hard to be swinging a sword about while lugging a crucifix around. As for Genocide, that's repeatedly in the Old Testament. Indeed, there's a whole part about killing everyone and everything in a city-state during a battle being ordered by no less than the Almighty. Decidedly odd, given he was already notorious for being alsmitey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_violence Now, excuse me while I go smite some bread dough for dinner...

  28. Another ruskie bot account. Can't say more, as whenever I say anything against Putana, they lock my account, as only praise is allowed for Russia lately. Which has been noted on contract evaluations by FEDRAMP with Google's bids.

  29.  @AdmiralBlackstar  complain to the architect historians. Not my circus, not my monkeys. I don’t correct them in their field, they don’t correct me in mine. Edit: my apartment building has 13 primary floors and two utility floors. Big if it was just brick and mortar, small given its brick facade over concrete and steel.

  30. I've still got an active security clearance, but giving it brief thought, decided against running for that office. For one, I'd be the second least qualified individual in the land fit for that office The other, too much of a temper, would just embarrass the office. And the majority of citizens of this land know how the absolute least qualified person is in the land, his already having befouled the office once.

  32. The GOP follows only one religion, a very dark one indeed, for it is simply money and power. In a Christian view, they'd be the Sadducees of today, ruling class and wealthy. Sadducees believed that there was no resurrection of the dead, no afterlife, no spirit realm, no angels. Most Sadducees were priests of the Temple. Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead and the afterlife. They believed like all Jews that God created the world, chose Israel as his chosen people, and rewarded and punished them according to his law. They also felt that the Law of Moses contained ambiguities which they strove to fix by developing rules and regulations for every possible human action in order to adhere to the will of God as outlined in the Torah. Yet oddly, Jesus had Pharisees as followers, who he recognized as following a righteous path. Given the political environment at that time, Pharisees tended to be more for the people than Saducees, who were for the wealthy establishment and there was tremendous amounts of unrest due to their political differences. The Romans wisely stayed out of things, save when tax money was interfered with by unrest. The problem is, playing politics with one's faith is to prostitute that faith, gradually at first, increasingly over time. There are quite a few stories within Judaeo-Christian scriptures where politics overruled lessons considered law and the results were always disastrous. Stories where the lessons were followed, the results were wonderful. Whether they were literal events or tales of wisdom is up to the reader to consider as an intellectual exercise, the lessons remain the same of attempting to impart some modest wisdom upon the learner that desires that wisdom. The foolish simple consider it verbatim law, no reason required for that law, it just is, as surely as an altar gets its gilding.

  33. There's only one problem in accusing anyone of being a lemming. The entire myth of lemmings running off of cliffs was a Disney invention and to support that invention, the film crew drove a colony of captured lemmings off of a cliff while filming it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_(film)#Controversy Lemmings are strong swimmers, so the migratory species can swim quite well, but don't leap off of tall cliffs to do so. As someone who has personally met Trump at a Chamber of Commerce function long before unreality TV existed, what you see is precisely what you get. A narcissist from hell, all subjects of discussion must be him and his greatness and successes, even the bankruptcies of his casinos he billed as successes. So successful that he was prohibited from owning casinos in NJ. The only thing you get with Trump is an incompetent version of Hitler. In closing, I'll rarely vote against my own self-interest and that of my family. When I have, it was for the good of my nation, our laws and Constitution. I'd never vote out of spite, as that's in no good interest and simply potentially destructive. I'll never, ever, ever vote for a fascist SOB that wanted to emulate both Hitler and Stalin! I didn't serve for 28 years in the US Army to ever support such a thing!

  34. Not necessarily, it could also just be bad dental work and proximity to a high power transmitter. ;) I also routinely hear voices. I've got a few noisy neighbors, so I usually ignore them. I also hear loudish noises at all hours, but then my apartment is only 10 feet or so from the building trash chute. :/

  38. That's OK, I remember hearing one ordained minister go on at great length about the decline of law and morality in our nation due to removal of religion from public schools, going so far as to pin JFK's assassination on that removal. Given Oswald's age, that'd require a time machine. He also had fascinating stories about US history, I ended up nicknaming him "Minister Fractured Fairy Tales".

  39. Well, I do have to agree, Critical Race Theory does not belong in primary or secondary schools, any more than advanced brain surgery techniques does. Since both curriculum subjects are at equally advanced levels of postgraduate degree courses. Just as PHYS 531: Galactic Astrophysics from Drexel University shouldn't be part of primary or secondary school courses, as it too is part of a PhD program. Pity, it'd be pretty cool if we could get kids graduating with a PhD... ;) When Trump says "I hear people saying" or "people tell me", he's literally talking about what the voices inside his head are saying to achieve a gain for him, regardless of the cost to others or an entire nation. I learned that quickly enough when I met him around 2000 at a Chamber of Commerce function where he was a speaker. The following year experienced a 90+% attrition, as no business owner forgave the Chamber for that debacle. But, if he wins or loses the election, he'll still do the same thing. Play golf - poorly. To the point of not only incessantly cheating, but even cheating a child when playing against the small child and his father. https://golf.com/lifestyle/celebrities/how-why-president-trump-cheats-golf-playing-tiger-woods/ Frankly, he's as welcome in my home as an elephant fart in a church during the sermon. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about him entering my home - I live in a castle doctrine state.

  40. I have fun with the "The King James Bible is the literal word of God". I ask, "as spoken?". When routinely answered, "absolutely!", I exclaim, "No wonder there was so much trouble back then! Why, Middle English hadn't been invented yet and most of the folks Jesus spoke to only spoke Aramaic and early Hebrew!". Eyes typically cross, then the excuses flow like the waters of a raging flood. The bible, thrice mis-transliterated, from transliterated sources. As a hint, there is no Hebrew word for either unicorn or dragon. Oddly, they're in the bible.

  41. Holy Loch, Scotland, wasn't it? Or was it Munich, Germany? At least, according to the various "portraits" of him... No wait, he spake Middle English. London, perhaps? Can't be Liverpool, definitely not English spoken there...

  42. There are 55 earthquakes per day on earth, that's over 20000 per year, God's sure sending a hell of a lot of messages! Not Morse code, must be moron code if MTG is deciphering them. Wait! My computer decrypted the messages! "MTG is my edition of 'dumb blonde jokes', sorry for the Dad jokes". And that, of course is a lie. There's no Godly earthquake code, eclipses were scheduled by the earth, sun, moon and giant planets right after the moon formed in orbit and MTG was, will and shall always remain an idiot, welcome to the short version of some fundamental laws of the universe. Damn, dumber than a bag of hammers. But, at least she's as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

  44. Whatever are you talking about? Mass deportation worked - at getting crops to rot in the fields unpicked. Meat shortages, as the slaughterhouses were raided and shut down with not enough employees, the animals euthanized and disposed of as they couldn't feed them. And Trump is a godly god-emperor wannabe, worshiping himself. I'm amazed he didn't issue a decree when he was in office requiring church steeples to have a giant Trump sign made of gold installed. And he's as godly, in a Christian way as well, nothing, living the antithesis of everything Christ spoke of. Indeed, he actually made public comments that the Almighty was a sap for allowing his kid to be killed and went on about how he'd never have allowed that. I met him at a Chamber of Commerce do back around 2000, where he was a guest of honor. All subjects of conversation had to be about him, he was flush bragging about his several year old "success" in filing for bankruptcy for his casinos, which in a room full of business owners, generated Guinness level numbers of eyerolls, total boor of the party. The following year, there was a 95% attrition for that event. At least then, when he spoke, the sentences were cogent. Not what we see at his campaign rallies today, where word salad is served up about his incessantly losing court cases. A hint for Donnie, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time". Still, he is a champion shot, never before has anyone scored so high in the NRA foot shooting competition!

  48. Oh, if you want to see a mirror of this level of stupid, look up the Nativist movement in the 1800's, the Native American Party, which invaded the Whig party, imploding it and all of the Whigs left to form a new party called the Republican Party. Yeah, I'm serious. Abraham Lincoln was originally a Whig, quit the party when it turned into a very, very similar circus of stupidity and sedition to join the Republican Party, the remnants of the nativists formed a core that spurred the civil war. Now, they're an even tinier minority. But, as loud and threatening as their predecessors.

  50. Can't quote the bible on abortion when the closest that it comes to mentioning it is when God performs one on adulterous wives in Numbers 5:18. Other than that, a fetus is considered part of the mother's body until it is born and takes its first breath, then and only then is it considered a baby. So, these people cling to Satan by proclaiming, even unknowingly, that they know better than God.
