"Whadd'ya all think?" If you really want to know. I think you must be a bitter and twisted keyboard warrior who does not get out enough.

"Whadd'ya you do old man?" At this time I am still yacht racing, and flying aircraft, . all radio control these days. One thing you got right, I cannot deny I am getting old, closer to 81 than 80.

But when I look in my logbooks some 15,000 hours, from Agricultural to airline, and a 3 year stint as an Air Traffic Controller, with Aerodrome, Approach, and Area ratings.

My boat was named "Prospector", if you care to check history you will see we completed the first 2 handed around New Zealand race, 3 solo trans Tasman races, New Plymouth to Moolloolaba.
1 Sydney to Hobart race, 1 two handed Melbourne Osaka race, and I came home from Japan solo. Tallying up cruising and racing, some 50,000miles, mostly solo.

But I must admit I have never been a keyboard musician, which is perhaps one thing I have not, but would have liked to master.

But, one lives and learns, I never knew I was a Knobhead. That would appear to be your speciality, figuring out peoples characters, without ever having met them.

And apologies for thread drift, but a question was asked.

Listen Prospector I am delighted you enjoy cruising etc. and I apologise for being rude, believe it or not, that is not my usual modus operandi.

I get the impression that you don't like me and/or my political opinions and that's fine by me. I don't bear you any malice and suggest we endeavour to be polite to each other or simply ignore each other if that's easier. ;)))

Let's put it this way, we are never going to agree on Trump anyway. :))

I took some time off this thread because all the spittle coming from the screen was ruining my keyboard. Mop up time again!

Nice show up in DC today.

President Trump is still kicking and won't admit it's over until it's over. If that comes to pass he'll depart gracefully.

"You're a big Trump fan though aren't you Prospector....that is clear as a bell.."
Trump is certainly not a person one would want to front up to a bar and have a beer with, however, the only way he affects my life style I must give him credit for.

He is the only American President for quite some time who has not started a war, in fact he has been trying to get the American Armed forces out of other folks countries..

From what one can glean from the American press it would appear Biden is going to give positions of power to many of the people who encouraged the wars in Iraq and Libya. One can see the results of those efforts now, what a disaster for those countries, to have had American help,

As to the mail in ballots, demanded by the Democrats, because of Corona virus?? The electoral roles of many states, it would appear mostly those run by Democrats, have not been updated for many years. Thousands of people who have moved to other states, thousands who have died had ballots sent out to them, and the suprising thing is that many dead people, proven beyond any doubt, have returned their ballots. It matters not who they voted for, it shows the system is wide open for abuse, and any effort to rectify the system should surely be applauded, and not just by abusing Trump and his supporters.

I am still waiting to see anything that convinces me dead voters and all other claims of voter fraud are anything more alternative facts.

The American economy needs defense spending and killing and destroying are essential economic activities.

"I am still waiting to see anything that convinces me dead voters and all other claims of voter fraud are anything more alternative facts."

Spread your search a bit wider. For example, Tucker Carlson came up on Fox news with a list of some forty people, with names, date of death. and the state in which they cast a ballot. Nobody has yet claimed the list is incorrect. You may not agree with all that comes from Fox news, same as I do not agree with all that comes for Washington Post, but nobody yet has tried to deny that Tucker Carlson's list was not correct.

If there is any doubt about the veracity of an electoral system then surely it needs fixing. The Al Gore/Bush conflict over voter "chads" in Florida certainly shows that any faults must be rectified ASAP.

"Why are there no allegations of funny business in states that Trump won? :-?" Yes, funny that, perhaps because people see no need??

I can come up with whatever bullshift strikes my fancy and it will still be bullshift regardless of what anyone can 'prove'.

I agree with you about dead voters.
However, I propose to take this one step farther.
Voting while dead should be a capital offense!
