IT’S SATIRE, BUT IS IT REALLY?
Trump Hits Back At China By Announcing U.S. Will Also Expel American Journalists.

I believe that there are things we experience that we can't explain, but until I personally experience something truly compelling, I remain skeptical.

I cannot believe Tibs is working on a Saturday!
I can't believe people still pay any attention to him.

Good luck my friend. That’s clearly the smart play, and very sorry to hear about your health issues.
Thanks, but none of my health issues are too serious, and haven't been an issue until now. As long as I can avoid developing symptoms, I'm certain I'll be fine.
That said, oak pollen season is just beginning to ramp up, my car is sitting under a thick, green layer of the stuff, and everyone in Austin is wondering if what they feel is allergies or something worse.

All anyone has to offer in the way of information are hunches. The medical and scientific communities are still coming to grips with this, while everyone else is either clamoring for answers, dispensing opinions, or making doomsday predictions.
As far as I'm concerned, there's plenty to be concerned about. I'm in my early 60's, with COPD and type 2 diabetes. I'm staying at home, having my groceries delivered, and keeping everyone else the hell away from me.
This may not be that big a deal to most, but it is to me. Until I learn otherwise, I'm watching and waiting, looking after myself, and keeping everyone else both at arm's length and in my prayers.

Why is the saying: "from the bottom of my heart" and not the center or top? Why is it "off the top of my head" and not the side? Where is the "pit" of your stomach? Why do thoughts come from the "back of your mind" and not the top, side, front, or pit? What does it mean to be "railroaded"? Huh? Is there a sour spot?
I know the answer to all those questions - it's right on the tip of my tongue.....

As far as I'm concerned, yes - absolutely. I used to go there all the time, usually ordering at least one jumbo with chili, mustard, and onions. Last time I was there (it was on Niagara Falls blvd near East Robinson) was before I moved away in 1982. Ted's is on my short list of all-time favorite places.

Trump didn't win because the claims by the far left about him being an unhinged ps$$iegrabber were overlooked by most of the electorate.
Trump won because the media thought it would be a good idea to air every single moment of every single Trump rally while, simultaneously, Hillary couldn't scale a flight of stairs up OR down, all while calling Trump's people 'deplorable.'' By the time she finished ignoring the flyover states so she could collect her coastal donations, she proved herself to be one of the single most unlikable candidates in years.
All you're doing with Biden (and even Bernie) is swapping one white hot mess of a candidate for another. You all should have gotten behind Tulsi when you had the chance.
Exactly. I'd add that he won that election before having any kind of track record as a politician. Now he can run on reduced regulations, lower taxes, improved economy, fatter IRAs and 401Ks, and all his judicial appointments.
I completely agree about Gabbard, too. The socialist wave sweeping the democrats nudged her and anyone like her too far into the margins.

...but I'm not sure they have a clue as to how to control the fracture......The "divide has become too wide" and with woefully inept leadership (COUGH) ala Pelosi and Schumer, they are the probervial " SS Minnow"....you get what you vote for IMO......
I don't believe that they will be able to control it. Pelosi, Schumer, and their ilk have been on a hate-fueled campaign against Trump, offering little or nothing positive to the American public. While they've been preoccupied with their vendetta, Bernie (and to a lesser extent "the squad") have risen to cult status with a large segment of their party. They have, in effect, rendered themselves largely irrelevant.
To a bunch of socialists.
It just seems that for a bunch of professional politicians, they've fumbled big time on a politics 101 level.

Didn't they learn anything from 2016?
If Bernie gets the most votes and they screw him again, Trump will win and they will lose the HoR I suspect.
Not only that. I truly believe that they run a very real risk of splitting their party. There are a lot older people and moderates within the democrat party that will support liberal and leftist policies, that absolutely will not vote for a socialist. There's a lot of younger people in that party that are very pro-socialism, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they became socialist independents if Bernie gets screwed again, and bailed on the party en masse.
And if Bernie wins the nomination, I believe it will be the start of traditionalist defections from the democrat party.

Geeze, I already gave up long-distance running (to be in solidarity with my brother, who is getting a knee replaced), AND nude skydiving. Now the Pope wants me not to troll idiots as well?
This Catholicism stuff is getting to be tough. I hope this eternal salvation is worth it.
Just replace anything you give up with a new sordid preoccupation. For instance, give up trolling but take up farting on elevators. That's what I did.

What a delight that guy is! Very tolerant, understanding, open minded fella. Do you think guys like this are being payed for behavior like this?
I liked the bit where the exchange went:
Dennis: "Why do you hate me?"
Antifa: "Because you're racist".
Dennis: "How do you know I'm racist?"
Antifa: "I can tell by looking at you".
Said with absolutely no hint of awareness of the irony or contradictive nature of that logic.

Well if Trump is this evil and this stupid whoever runs against him in November should have no problem whatsoever beating him right? Should be like the Chiefs playing a Pop Warner team right? So why the time, energy and money to remove him? He will be gone anyway in less than twelve months right?
Ah, but the Russians will secure the election for him, remember?

You're getting there. Let's just say these systems exist in 100 years. By then two other things will likely have happened:
1. Artificial intelligence will have made huge leaps.
2. Another theorized, or as yet theorized superior system of high speed space propulsion will have been devised and would potentially be deployable.
Don't like 100 years as a measure? How about 10? 50? 1000? 10,000? Pick one. And let's say the limitation of light speed turns out to be 100% the upper limit.
There is another constant that renders this exploration a little less exciting but no less important. It will always be vastly more difficult to maintain a life support system traveling for decades through space to known or unknown destinations than to go without one. Each one of us has billions of bacteria within that help support our existence. The same complexities and interdependencies are obstacles for most living things on Earth. Does it make economic sense or scientific sense to attempt to send entire ecosystems on journeys for thousands of years in multiple directions? It sure would be awesome but does it make sense? I don't think so, because all of these life forms come in miniature form and you know what they all do? They replicate. We don't have the means at this point in history but at some point in the future we will be able to send a miniature Noah's Ark.....and it will be able to replicate. It's transport will also be able to replicate. No matter how advanced we become, this method will always make more sense than transporting actual living things.
So.....given self replicating robots that hop around exploring, how long would it take to explore the entire galaxy? Realistic numbers say it would be about 250k years once started for the purely robotic variety. This method makes sense for us. If the galaxy was teeming with life it would also have to make sense for at least some of the other societies, no? 250,000 years isn't that long really. But where are all these probes? Where is any other sign at all? We are learning a lot and every single thing we've learned in the past decade+ points to it being just us. Every data point. Our probes will be the first but with some luck and perseverance they will succeed somewhere, probably many somewheres.
This is always a fascinating topic for discussion, partially because because it pits the imagination against the hard realities of physics. I honestly can't argue with anything you're saying, and I can tell that you're familiar with the Fermi paradox as well.

I know his chances probably aren't very good, but I sure as hell hope he beats it. And ***** all of you who would wish him ill.
