There is no excuse, but there is a reason, and the reason is a silly attempt to appease the less moderate in his party. Useless and embarrassing VP. Comedic Press Secretary. Idiotic nomination for FAA Administrator who couldn't get through Senate hearings. Smug goof as Sect. of Transportation. There's more. I just don't want to spend the time.

Couldn't agree more. His Admin was chaotic and he will not get the best talent ever again. I have no problem with his policy views, but the staff is just as important as the President.

Your question is rhetorical, but I think such experience is invaluable. It takes a long time to understand the nuance of that issue, and dealing with the immediate issues re China, a lunatic in North Korea and what I think is incredibly important to be prepared for is an Israeli strike to prevent Iran from posing a nuclear threat. That issue is on the relatively near horizon. What gives me confidence is that I think the Republicans have a much deeper bench, and Younkin or any other candidate ex Trump would be able to access that. It is my opinion that Trump so toxic that any administration run by him would be unable to attract the best possible people. I think it is extremely important to be able to gather the best possible cabinet and staff.

I like him a lot, but think he needs a bit more on his resume, so maybe in a subsequent election. I think governor is the best qualification for president, but he has nothing regarding foreign policy. Nikki Haley has both. Whatever he does after his gov term will tell.

Ya. Kind of like the 1968 Buffalo Bills.

"Going forward."

"Having said that." (We know. We just heard you say that). Starting a sentence with "So."

Never work here. Neither would Bernie.

Redistribution is not the most important issue. Who determines the redistribution is. Look at the "happiest" nations of 2023. !. Finland 2. Denmark 3. Iceland 4. Israel 5. Netherlands 6. Sweden 7. Norway 8. Switzerland See a trend there? See the obvious? It is obvious that countries that have a higher degree of homogeneous populations are perceived as "happier." The US is incredibly non homogeneous and people don't like decisions about where the money goes being made by people they don't like, ie.,a despised Congress. Look at the incredible amount of success that US religious charity has enjoyed. Far more effective than gov programs Know why? Because it's decided to be targeted at known destinations. Humans, especially Americans, are remarkably generous at redistribution. They just can't stand that redistribution being decided by others, so when they lose the ability to decide, they oppose it.

The picture was in response to cluster bombs being used as war criminal evidence. It was evidence of the US arming planes with them, so the caution was to be careful what you condemn.\ Never a Trump fan, Never voted for him and won't. Still.....He sure is better than Biden/Harris, an alarming and incompetent team.

And a proclivity to constantly talk about it. "It" being you.

Read the parable of the weeds. According to Jesus, it is foolish to allow man to judge others. Not good at it and bound to make mistakes. Not in our lane.

So is there a "compare and contrast" documentary coming out comparing the Russian moon crash with this? Good couple days for gravity.

Took a little longer than expected. Creative though.

What? The plan to get the US out was in place, with other options if things changed. What he did was disgraceful, incredibly stupid, and then lied about.

Simply pathetic.

They don't, unless they achieve air superiority, and there is no current path to that now. The F-16 is not going to provide that. It will take years for that to become a change maker. This thing is a body grinding stalemate. The oversold counter offensive isn't going that well, and it takes multiples more munitions to be offensive rather than defensive.

Correct on all counts. Been there many times, never disappointed, but they do hustle you out. It's my wife's go to place, so that endorsement worked for me. One word of caution; going up the "heat" scale on European food is a bit dangerous for US folks who ware used to more mild seasoning.

Propane. I would have used nat gas, but not an option. I wouldn't worry about regulations. There would be a revolution if some law forced people to abandon a life saving power option when they are purchased for the singular purpose of reacting to a power outage.

The place is great. The Asian food is really good. The pub is great as well. Big US airline crew spot, so the value is there. Again, I always trust the wife, and she loves it. Her favorite in London.

Consider dinner at Churchill Arms in that area. A bit touristy, but good Asian food in an old pub setting, which is a bit odd. Wife loves it. Her favorited place.

That is the unit I have, but I got it done for about 9k+. Don't remember the final number, but it was under 10. It isn't simply the generator. I have two 200amp transfer panels that connect the generator to the service panel. They are not cheap. As well, the unit needs fuel, whether nat gas or liquid propane, and that is a plumbing expense. There are ways to save money. I didn't pay a Generac contractor. I found a local guy who does these installs to do the generator and transfer panels, and got a separate guy to do the fuel supply plumbing. You don't need to pour a concrete pad. I leveled the ground, built a weather resistant rectangle, filled it with crushed stone, then leveled it and put 12x12 pavers on top. The generator is secure and level.

Prodigious inflation, political turmoil and an unstable currency, but nice weather, great fishing and really cool Andes mountains.

Spend ten years going through US Customs and Immigration at Miami International more than once per week in the morning when the South/Central American flights arrive. Talk to the folks who work there and you'll get a feel for this issue. It has absolutely noting to do with skin color.

Simpson's eyes tell the tale. There are rare videos out that see into his helmet at his eyes. Those videos show his kinesthetic sense, which is the ability to read body language and move accordingly. When he got in space, his eyes were always on the next guy. He already had the first guy beat. Larry Byrd was similarly gifted. He could diagram every one of his team mates and the defenders on the way down the court. A singularly amazing athlete.
