Nowdys though, one can’t get ABC, CBS or NBC free without some sort of a subscription. The flat TVs don’t come with rabbit ears.

naaah,

i get ABC, NBC and CBS with rabbit ears on my new, digital flat screen tv. the rabbit ears did not come with the tv (just like cable) but cost about $20.

Democrats have been gerrymandering long before Trump said anything. They always try and move the goalposts.

 

[Tanks]

As an aside, Trump, for the first time, will be attending WH Correspondents' dinner. Let the roasting begin. Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson already wrote pieces for members to do that, lol.

Trump must have lowered his standards to sit down with those Jackal's

This whole redistricting saga started because Trump told the red states, specifically Texas, to do the redistricting.

Both things can be true. It may have started in red states but that doesn't make doing it in blue states and more justified.

My opinion is that the sophistication and effectiveness of modern gerrymandering is a significant contributor to the inability of our government to operate effectively. The vast majority of Congressional elections are determined in the primary which isn't even close to how the system was designed to operate.

Blue States have been doing it for decades. The six New England States don’t have any Republicans in the House. 21-0 Democratic House Members in States that vote 35-40% Republican. States like California and Illinois have also been way over represented by Democrats compared to state party affiliation.

Yes Trump pushed redistricting in red states like Texas Florida and Missouri but it was to help rebalance the already gerrymandered states.

Started long before Trump with the courts forcing southern States to redraw districts to include minority majority districts. Which I thought was against the law to draw districts based on race.

Louisiana vs Callias will be decide this SCOTUS term.

PS: Currwnt Districts 2 and 6 were set aside for race

Of course it's illegal and racist, but when did that ever stop a leftist Democrat.

Ya, certainly a click bait story. My gut says it’s still too early to tell whether it is a real or a fabricated perceived statistical cluster. I heard one explanation that made some sense that some of it has to do with corporate insiders covering tracks. My instincts say it may be a statistical cluster but not necessarily a nefarious conspiracy where some of the cases can linked to the stress and secrecy of the work.

I’m sure the Area 51 groupies are abuzz with theories reference this Bob Lazar’s reveal about his work at S-4 surely puts him at risk if the nefarious conspiracies carry truth. I know he was pressured politically at relatively low bureaucratic levels within NM and the city of Albuquerque and was forced to abandon his business and to move. He had a small business supplying hobby market fireworks and model rocket components. Obviously some entity much higher up than state or local government pressured the local bureaucrats to shut down his livelihood. Currently I believe he’s living somewhere in the PAC NW. I do not know, but wouldn’t doubt, the MIB (US Air Force, OSI @ Kirkland) had some involvement with the bureaucratic threatening of Lazar, forcing him out of business and to move.

For more info watch “Mirage Men”, a short film/documentary that provides insight into what some of this may be about. It’s available free on Samsung TV, ROKU, etc. It also explains and unravels some of the mystique and legend behind “Men In Black” (MIB). Not at all similar to the Hollywood move version, but real nonetheless.

So.....is that the latest European medias narrative to try and discredit Trump?
The Iran nuclear program is some sort of myth or Hobgoblin?.....lol
Are you really that naieve.?

Of course I am not naive, I believe every word Trump says, Like it's gospel

Same with Alabama districts 2 and 7.

No pretty much my same analogy. It follows a timeline.

First, would you like to help? No, ok fine.

Second, I will remember you didnt help. When my 5 year old doesnt help and then wants ice cream, I remember she didnt so she doesnt get it.

Third, now that the work is done and she wants to help, because she wants ice cream, its too late. Trump is just less diplomatic. I would never tell my 5 year old she was not needed, but obviously a different situation.

So following your timeline, March 14th to March 17th, you guys didnt want to help, realized Trump will probably remember this and there will be a consequence, but by the time your leaders got their collective head out of their asses because they are more worried about polls or offending people than actually doing their job, the job was pretty much over.

Trump didnt nessarily change his mind. The situation changed.

Lets hope he leaves Nato now then instead of just talking about it. It would probably be better for everyone if he just got it done instead of just keep undermining whatever remains of the detterence of the alliance.

@Doug Hamilton Lets keep score, insults on me...7? Maybe 8?...Actual responses to important points brought up in my numerous posts...Zero.

I love how your first and second responses are to resort to childish insults rather than actually discuss anything of substance. Any fact based arguments and cited sources from you about the litany of other topics I've posted about, such as the...
Debt/Deficit? No.
What about Fossil Fuels? No.
Renewable Energy? No.
Environmental Concerns? No.
Iran War? No.
Healthcare? No.
The Epstein Files? No.
Six dead services members in the port shuaiba attack? No.
The SAVE Act? No.
Outsourcing of Jobs/Trade Deals? No.
Shareholder Value Theory? No.
The absurdity of the memes being posted here? No.

If your education is so significant and your life experience so vast, please share it with me. Pick any of the topics above...or a new one perhaps?

And by the way, LOL means "Laugh out Loud." It originated in chat rooms in the 1980s, and reached common usage in the early 2000s. It was added to the OED in 2011 (you might want to look it up).

!Do you think that anyone with a IQ higher than room temperature doesn't know what "LOL" means? It just the use of it that indicates immaturity. We know what you think about everything. You are still sophomoric. You annoy me with your lack of real.world experience yet willing to talk down to people who know better. I am blocking you now..

Another individual is putting some pieces together regarding Irans uranium. Trump seems to imply it used to be “ours”

Not the Bee (fairly real news) and The Babylon Bee (satire) can be quite entertaining. I’m not going back to find the post that began the argument about shitty people doing shitty things.

It started long before that with states trying to draw districts that favored a particular party or faction. Machine politics ran on gerrymandering, well before the civil rights act.

Its POSSIBLE they got some uranium from the US in the last 47 years.. but I think thats pretty unlikely.. we know exactly where they got most of their uranium from..

prior to 1979, the US, France, and Germany all provided (sold) Iran with uranium for the purpose of building energy reactors..

they also have significant uranium deposits within their own borders that have been mined.. Saghand Mine and Gachen Mine are the most notable..

and.. we know they got most of their nuke technology the AQ Khan network in Pakistan and from China..

I dont think there are any huge secrets behing where the uranium comes from or who has been providing them with the tech and the knowledge to turn that uranium into weapons grade materials..

the issue is no one has had the balls to do anything about it until now..

What I find interesting is the US has been very public about hitting all of the Iranian uranium processing facilities.. but there is no evidence (to my knowledge) that we have hit the actual mines...

I would imagine we'd want to figure a way to collapse those mines in on themselves.. the uranium mines are very deep "tunnel" type mines.. while they could always dig them back out, I'd think dropping a couple of jdams down the main and vent shafts would be in order and would make it a little harder on them going forward to extract more uranium to replace what we have rendered inaccessible to them or what we're ultimately going to take from them..

Just to keep things going, gasoline was $3.42/gallon this morning, up from $3.39 when I last filled my truck.

Im going to guess B2's, F35's and an assorment of other aircraft will be inbound and over the persian gulf by 759PM EST... those air crews have been able to get some rest.. theres been plenty of time to bring in a new round of munitions.. and I'd imagine a few new air crews are now in theater too...

We might well see those Marines put to use on a couple of key terrain features as well within the next few days...

I dont know what exactly will happen... but I do feel pretty certain its about to get very sporty for the Iranians again here shortly..
