You'll be dead within the next +-20 years.You, not really having done a damned thing for your country.

That's you that is!
But it is my country.

Don't believe you can say the same.

I'm content with that.

Re: Chaos in USA

Anyway, superstition aside, whatever you do, don’t mention the war! A little war for thee but not for me? Where to begin: Aden Kenya Malaya Falklands Northern Ireland Korea Egypt Boer (going way back but a pretty gruesome way to 'win hearts and minds') The then Palestine Greece Iceland (over cod? r...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

At this point, if RBG does keel over, by the precedent he set, they should wait until January (or November, if Trump wins) before considering a replacement. You can bet he'd rush it through as fast as he possibly could in case Trump doesn't win. I believe it was a messiah to some (I just call him a...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

“President Trump is constantly appointing judges...”. I hope Colombo is in there investigating the morbidity rate of the US judiciary and the suspects are rapidly taken out of circulation by the police? Or is there another reason for the high turnover of judges which does not involve death but simp...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

Glad you survived. I stood among the branches of a fallen tree and reached-up to prune some small twigs above my head to clear a space for me - the kick-back sliced through my mesh face-mask before it stopped the chain. No physical contact. Yikes. I'd have a permanent case of heebie-jeebies. Note t...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

Supposedly, China has coerced and/or paid tens of thousands of internet trolls to defend itself on the ol' interweb, including coopting useful Western idiots who hate the US and will willingly go along with PRC propaganda in order to score internet points. Supposedly, one tactic to expose such a tro...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

I got my first chainsaw yesterday. I expect to lose a limb any day now. Hopefully, those are from the cedar trees and not my own, but I won't be surprised if the latter. I would strongly advise you never to use a chainsaw without appropriate PPE - it has saved my life. Things can happen when you le...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

Considering how the Orange Orangutan has harmed the Chinese with his tariffs I can understand how any country so treated might be tempted to disseminate some infected snot to teach the perpetrator a lesson, not that I’m saying that’s what happened. Now that the world economy is well and truly wreck...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

For the sake of my country, I hope so. Otherwise, the deep state will continue to be used against American citizens for purely political reasons. By those in both parties while in power. For example, the unmasking of US citizens via the NSA listening to nearly everything is supposed to be a very rar...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

So the question now becomes, why did Jim Comey and the FBI want Michael Flynn removed from his office? Flynn was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, as a 3-star, during the Obama Administration. He disagreed with the happy talk regarding Iran and ISIS put out by that Administration. They fired...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

I should tell you Brick. that my country is worse than you could ever imagine and that you should never ever, ever, contemplate coming here. You misunderstand my post. I enjoy my travels. And when I'm in someone else's borders, I'm polite. When I post here, I don't presume to tell others how they s...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

I so enjoy the faced pressed up on the glass gang telling us how it is here. How we should revamp our Constitution, how we don't know what real food is, how we should be more like them, etc, etc, etc.

Then I look at their home countries and I laugh and laugh.

And go on about my day.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

You shouldn't need to Google, it, Seen. You should know it. Just like we Brits know when the Second World War was declared, and by whom. We also know when it was ended, and by whom. (Hint: it wasn't John Wayne or Carey Grant) I suspect the Czechs may have a different memory of history and when the ...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

Living in the #1 oil producer in the world and blessed with an abundance of fresh water, I fail to see your point. Your formerly green and pleasant land has suffered through the generations of being at the end of a very vulnerable supply chain. I seem to remember reading about a couple of those wher...

Enjoyed tremendously the nicely-marbled ribeye and the adult beverage accompanying it.

Superb.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

But the difference Is, I truly do not care. And that has made all the difference... USA (and DPRK apparently but I see no thread) gets all the comments, so it must be something to somebody. I spent the day clearing cedar (actually juniper) from my little spread here in Texas. And gave not a care in ...
