  1. The problem is he has violated so many standards to no apparent loss...
  2. unfortunately the President is apparently exempt from some of those laws. Damnit...
  3. he appears to be so unpopular within the so called leadership of the party that I suspect he will be impeached post haste...
  4. there is a reason I voted for someone who I personally dislike, over someone I personally, and philosophically, fear
  5. it counts almost as much as my vote for Governor in WA. Bryant was winning, until they started counting King COunty, and he got blown out. OUr lords and masters have spoken again. Damnit.
  6. I see a lot of correlation to BUsh vs Gore, running a "look at that idiot, vote for me" campaign does not seem to work very well...
  7. I was thinking this morning that with both houses of COngress and the white house, they might well overextend so far that the backlash destroys them.
  8. as marijuana use is a disqualifier on the Federal BATF from 4473 from legal purchase of a firearm. I strongly suspect the BATF has been told Hands OFF by the current administration, but... NOw, it could fall under the same Supreme Court ruling that said it would be a 5th amendment violation to prosecute felons for lying on the 4473, but Trump does not seem to understand the Constitution or the role of the Supreme court very well.
  9. well the was the energy weapon from Orgazmo...
  10. Soviet underwater assault rifle, I believe.
  11. This is the best news I've had in months!
  12. I fear there may be a large number of Strokes or heart attacks on Election Day and it'll be interesting to see how much of the internet melts down in the furore
  13. Supposedly they were pretty good friends before this. Maybe Jefferson and Adams as a precedent?
  14. Iirc there was a cartridge firing version of the lemat revolver. I believe it was used by French Colonial prison guards possibly on Devil's Island? Here is a very odd but kind of interesting little gun http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/10/25/cobray-pocket-pal-double-caliber-double-barreled-revolver/ When I was a kid there was an article in a gun magazine about a custom survival gun made by a regional gunsmith here. I believe it was technically a short-barreled rifle but I could be misremembering: it had three barrels. as I recall, the top Barrel was 357 Magnum, the bottom Barrel was 22 long rifle, and the center barrel was 410 shotgun. I can't remember whether it was guns and ammo or shooting times that had the article
  15. McCain seems to have lost it almost as badly as Pat Robertson lost it many years ago
  16. doc is cancelling one med, putting me on a different blood pressure med... oh joy.
  17. oever here in the East side we are supposed to have gusts up to 50 mph today and tonight...
  18. IIRC Lincoln said something about men with few vices usually having few virtues... found it "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues. Abraham Lincoln Read more at: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/abrahamlin161243.html
  19. I pray this does NOT occur. there are reasons I want a divided power structure
  20. Supreme court picks, specifically pro 2nd amendment judges, are the only reason I can see to vote for Trump. THe idea of him "in charge" in the Situation room is probably the one that gives me the most nightmares. I will NOT be voting for him.
  21. I agree the press conference sounded more as if anyone else would have been prosecuted, but... I know the penalties I could face if I screw up with HIPAA data, I am surprised the standard is so low for handling classified information. And iirc I DID say the Bush White house screwed up handling of emails and their deletion. I am generally an equal opportunity basher. Someone at work tried going down the list of accusations against her. I mocked him for the "53 murders" claim, but he did remind me of the Filegate scandal. That was weird. EITHER, she was very problematic in using files and then RECKLESS in leaving them in her office, or someone tried to frame her for such activities. I just don't know, but it still bothers me. I
  22. I used to try to get less mayo on my spicy chicken sandwiches, I don't think ANY company go that right.
