I have not watched it. Most of the newer Star Wars content isn't interesting to me. Mandalorian was ok but it did not grab me. The Obi Wan series was ok but still seemed to go nowhere. I have to admit that when Vader finally came in and did his thing, that was pretty cool. mspart

Well, it happened in a town near us in 2020. All over the country. Not illegal aliens but illegal activity in the form of arson, looting, assault, general mayhem. mspart

I think we have a winner. mspart

So in other words, you are trying to be a better poster except when you are not. Got it. mspart

Some Nigerian Princes made off with it. All kidding aside, this really happened. https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2020/05/22/43739427/washington-state-lost-hundreds-of-millions-to-nigerian-scammers-are-my-ears-deceiving-me Come on man, gimme a break. mspart

Wow!! That is interesting. The local morning talk host said he figures Biden will be gone before Monday. This seems to suggest that as well. Very interesting. If this happens, I would be very surprised if Joe doesn't support Kamala. He would really have to because she is the VP. But that doesn't mean the delegates have to vote for her, it only means Joe thinks she should be the new candidate. Her poll numbers are worse than Joe's so that would be democratic suicide. I think he'll support her but the DNC won't. mspart

He sounds like the folks in WA. Money missing? No problem. Just ignore. mspart

What happened to your "not going to insult" approach you were so high on. I guess that went out the door. Of course it never stopped but you wanted us to think so because you said so. mspart

I believe this is true. mspart

Well, RVs analysis is not wrong. I don't think Trump started inflation, it was in check for a year after he left and after Biden's hyper inflation packages were signed. Then it took off. But less cash in and more cash out is not a good premise to work with. But Trump did spend more with his last Covid thing, but that was kind of necessary if you are going to shut down the economy. So that probably didn't help. But I blame Biden for his additional Covid spending and his ridiculous inflation reduction act which let the cobra out of the basket. He should reduce taxes, and reduce spending. Spending could be reduced by 10% and not many would miss out on anything. RVs problem is that he equates reducing tax rates with a reduction in revenue. This is not true. As I showed in another conversation, revenue pretty much has gone up since 1962 even with tax rates being lowered or highered. For the economy, it is better that the money stay with the people that produce rather than go to the government which does not produce. Tax rates incentivize risk taking. Lower taxes - higher risk taking by businesses. Higher taxes - less risk taking by businesses. Taking risk has the effect of increasing the economy if the risk works out. Most businesses know the risks but feel that circumstances lower those risks and so they take them. And that adds to the economy short term and if successful, long term. There is no downside to that. There is downside to higher tax rates on the economy. That's just the plain facts. mspart

I haven't seen a picture of the damage to his ear that was clear. I would expect some tissue be missing. Does anyone have a non AI or otherwise altered pic of his ear? mspart

Hopefully Schumer does the right thing here and cancels him. mspart

He doesn't watch that. He's not a liberal left leaning whack job. He's just a little bit left of center as he has told us numerous times. mspart

These are basic facts? How did you establish these as facts? They sound more like opinion in the smell test. mspart

Hey Vak, when you are trying to minimize the number of people who said it is not a thing for courts to deal with, you should also list how many justices said it was for courts to deal with. I think SCOTUS was correct lately. It is not for them to say anything about abortion. That is for the people and their representatives either in Congress or in individual states. Ds had ample opportunity to legislate this but didn't. They didn't because it was a fundraising coup detat for them they figured. Anyway, it is now out of the court system and in the hands of the people and their representatives on state or federal level where it should be. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/us/politics/02cong.html mspart

This ^ The protection of a President or candidate for President rests solely on the Secret Service, period. They should have had all roof tops within sight of the stage protected period. mspart

This is really an important issue. No smoking of meats there? HaHa! I'm not going. mspart

You might look at Biden and Hillary. Are they rotting in prison. There is a two tiered justice system. And it has nothing to do with who appointed who. mspart

Biden doesn't fire people. There will be no firings for this fiasco of a protection detail. You have an outdoor event. You scan the area for elevated places where someone could shoot from and you nail those down so no one gets there. The shooter was on a rooftop in plain sight of the stage. No one will get fired for this lack of security. mspart

That's sick. Definitely sick. LGBT folks have higher arrests for sex crimes. Hmmmm, no wonder they don't like this bill. Sick, just sick. mspart

Hi RV, you could have just posted this rather than link to it but it helps make my point. Tax rates went down from 1962 to today generally. But look at the revenues since 1962: Please note that 2023 is at the left and 1962 is at the right. I got this data from https://www.thebalancemoney.com/current-u-s-federal-government-tax-revenue-3305762 Revenues went up as tax rates went down. Funny how that works. mspart

What are the American people most concerned with. According to polls, illegal immigration is near the top of the list. That sounds like something to key in on. Not my pet project. It is most people's pet project. My thoughts on the Senate's border bill is that it was a joke. Allow up to 5000 illegals entry per day before "maybe" something happens to shut that down. Because it is left up to the executive's whim to do something about it. It was not statutory to do something. It was essentially what is happening now anyway. It would have been no different than current situation. The people being harmed are the US citizens having to pay for housing for these illegals. The people being harmed are those coming over from all over the world with the cartels running the show and exacting money and blood and sex. There is no reason to accept this at all. mspart

Not with your Tax and spend philosophy. Not with your war on the rich. Not with your tax way more and don't hold down spending. You have no answer to increasing spending other than tax more. You are no conservative by any decade's standard. Good luck trying to convince us. mspart
