In straight up dogfights, 150 "Voodoo" Mustangs (with top-notch pilots) would probably take half of that Air Force out. LOL

Kidding of course, but never miss the chance to show a War Bird.

Hope that guy had a compression suit on, otherwise, whatever was in his colon, ended up in his shorts, pulling that turn at that speed.

The compact sedan and mini-van were just too much for it.

Very interesting conversation about the Trump Gold Card for immigrants willing to pay $5 million for it:





-They would be vetted of course
-Says yesterday he sold a thousand
-About 37 million people worldwide capable of buying it (obviously not saying they will), just capable of it.
-Trump thinks they can sell a million gold cards.

Lmao. We got massive race riots going on so lets hold a KKK, i mean MAGA, rally at the site of the US' largest KKK massacre.

Trump Effect

Heh heh heh. Eat it, Libs.

If Trump is doing the Lord's work, where else should those good deeds be recorded & preached? Isn't he a prophet?

Said no one.
You are sick.
Show me on the doll where the bad man hurt you.
Get help.

False. I've had Club MAGA use the term on me 10's of times.

If no one - your statement - thinks Vz criminals should go, then WTF does that have to do with TDS as there's no disagreement.

Since I've had the term used on me, you have to think I favor guys in women's sport. You're a total & complete DA.

You can't read. I wasn't referring to what Trump thinks of himself. I was asking the person doing the writing & using the term. But at least you got to use snidely. You must be proud.

And all your post's cheerleaders show their intelligence to boot. It's a Club membership thing. Can't help themselves.

The literal game works both ways

You can't read - your statement- then how did I interpret this drivel.

Speaking of club membership, no one is mistaking you for a mensa member.

That spending looks almost like a perfect slope of 1*, which just points out the ridiculousness of education spending.

*meaning that for each increment of time (x axis) spending (y axis) increased in kind. Even by government standards, that level of funding increase is absurd. Even more so when you consider that what it was supposed to AID maintained a slope of ZERO. LOL

Only in the public sector can budget increases be so ridiculously "unbound" by the results. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Think of it this way: It's as if the Federal government was the Ford Motor Company, and it decided to build the Edsel (GOVERNMENT EDUCATION SPENDING) , but even after realizing it was a flop, it just decided, to never STOP building Edsel's. It just kept building MORE of them; BECAUSE...

 

[AshWilliams]

Constitutionally, it's impossible to ignore SCOTUS. District judges, not at all. And by ignoring District judges, as he SHOULD, it sets in motion the inevitable; that sooner of later, SCOTUS will have to do Congress' work for them (if they refuse to do it themselves)

Not really. See Andrew Jackson, Joe Biden. What are they gonna do?

 

[HymanKaplan]

Impeachment and conviction is the only recourse. I was only arguing that, IMO, defying a district judge probably is not Unconstitutional, but defying SCOTUS is.

Certainly a handful of old Phantoms could take out that Yemeni batch.

 

[AshWilliams]

No. Need 67 votes. They already tried.

 

[HymanKaplan]

I think you and I are essentially in agreement. And I said earlier, that Congress could put a stop to all of this right now, on their own. When I said that impeachment is the only recourse against a President, it was just an academic statement, not that I thought it would happen.

Sheesh. I already said this. Weeks ago. Trump is going to use this to pay off the national debt.

 

[AshWilliams]

And they SHOULD.

Honestly, my friend, I wonder what Trump is waiting for. He doesn’t have to put up with this. And the GOP had better get off their ass or else they will lose in the midterms. The American people voted for Trump to be effective. If the GOP doesn’t help him, they will lose.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Basically, we both think that Trump should tell the courts to pound sand. Sideways.

(relying on the GOP keeps me up nights though.)

I must have forgotten about the US-Alaskan War as well as the US-Hawaiian war.

Did she really say that Canada won the War of 1812?

They won some battles, but that was mostly due to our Generals being Revolutionary War officers, that were over the hill, spineless drunks, by the time 1812 rolled around. And only 1 battle involved mostly Canadian forces/natives (River Raisin IIRC)

Once Brock and Tecumseh were killed, it was about all she wrote for Canada. Henry Clay, William Henry Harrison, and James Madison were so stupid that they thought Canada would WELCOME US occupation. But Canada definitely didn't win the War of 1812. Everything essentially went back to the way it was. LOL

She is beyond stupid.

We didn’t fight Canada. Canada did not exist until 1867. We fought the British.

I just found this: it should make you happy.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Even w/o securing Canada, the US ultimately won, because the Battle of New Orleans put a stop to all the foreign meddling down there which opened up vast swaths of the West for expansion, AND, even more importantly, it got the US citizenry behind forming a professional Army, and Navy, and we all know how it went after that.

(Hoping for Lockheed Martin... although it'll probably come down to investment interests LOL

And I'm still not sure that Canada is an actual country TO THIS DAY. LOL Aren't they still "technically" part of the British Commonwealth?

FYI most tariffs to Canada and Mexico have been delayed, but for the sake of your point are the tariffs non existent this week when the Dow is up 900 pts?

Also FYI there have been several cases where tariffs are bringing business back to the states.

Only left wing judges are slowing down DOGE processes, and they are being overturned as well on appeals.

You really believe your sides propaganda as much as you accuse the other side of doing the same.

These rulings by the judges have nothing to do with liberal vs conservative.
In fact, most of these rulings are conservative rulings based intirely on the US Constitution.
I'm old enough to remember a Republican Party that adhered to the Constitution and saw Russia as the malevolent force in the world that it is.
What's insane now is that what your party calls conservative is actually much more aligned with radical or anarchist.
Doing away with birthright citizenship???
It is in the GD Constitution. Don't like it then go thru the amendment process. The Constitution can't be undone with the stroke of a pen.
Don't like due process and asylum law?
It is the law of the land and can't be undone with the stroke of a pen. Pass new immigration law.
Don't like the funding and appropriation bills PASSED BY CONGRESS??? Pass new laws that get rid of federal agencies prior to the next round of spending bills. Congress holds the purse constitutionally. Those appropriations can't be undone with the stroke of a pen.
These judicial rulings are conservative and based on the constitution.
It is the mass EOs being done with no respect for our laws or Constitution that are radical..... Not the judicial rulings.

Anything in that constitution about illegal citizens? Or their right to vote?

Well, you can pretty much stop now given this nugget of ignorance. You would have to have your head up your ass to not see how this is playing out.

I am pretty sure you are right. They definitely still owe allegiance to Britain on some level. I know they mourn royal deaths as if they were England itself and in ods ways have to profess their loyalty etc. Its all so low key, it's basically just form but im pretty sure thats where it comes from.

CEO of supermarket chain reveals when Americans can expect relief from high grocery prices

John Catsimatidis, CEO of Gristedes and D'Agostino, told FOX Business that shoppers are already seeing relief at his grocery chains.

It is playing out according to the Constitution. Just because you don't like the Constitution doesn't make you right.

The Mig 29s are the only reasonable fighters in inventory, and our F-15s and Super Hornets can take them down. We have superior electronics and weaponry. Not to mention, a single mission of F-117s could kill them on the ground before they even scramble.

If they try to scramble jets against the US, It'll be proven to be an air farce.
