  1. Probably, most defiantly not
  2. They don't know much about history Nothing of all of biology Won't even talk about french they took? But they are great at trolling
  3. Has anyone verified MTG's whereabouts the night of Jan 5, 2021?
  4. I remember a conversation I had a couple of tears ago with a passenger at DTW who inquired about CNN being on the TV screens. I told him that the rights to the screens were put up for bid every few years. CNN was evidently the winning bid. He wasn't exactly pleased when I informed him that's how free enterprise works. (I later learned that CNN was the only company to place a bid)
  5. For grins I ran something similar. Matt Corral
  6. Take away his golf cart privileges for 4 years
  7. And increase the size of the House to an actual proportional size. For example if you used the same calculation for house members based on proportional population. California's delegation should be 68 members vs Wyoming's 1.
  8. Corporations are people too. Wasn't that the mantra of conservative corporative's not that long ago. Also affirmed by the Supreme Court when they ruled in favor of Clarence Thomas' wife in Citizen's United. Actually, the country has always had a history and problem with corporations. That's how unions gained some control back in the day. I would love to see public financing of campaigns. You get X amount of $$ and can spend no more. The Pols will always find a way around it. The reality is even with that there will always be lobbyists pimping for their overlords. I'm also in favor of bring back horse trading. And reinstalling stocks for offenders of election lawa.
  9. After getting a notice recently from our local cable ripoff, we've resorted to their most basic package. Internet (since they own the viable monopoly) and local channels. We're between two markets and towers are too far away to realistically pick up anything without a big antenna. We have a Roku and buying the usual suspects. Netflix, Prime, Disney. I think we're on a free Apple subscription with our phones. A donation to our local PBS affiliate gives us their on demand stuff... edit... Just the two of us, but we upgraded to their highest internet service. My wife's job keeps her on line most of the day so we needed the ability to stream.
  10. How many ended up staying in Texas because of the war with Mexico? My great great grandfather was alleged to have befriended a young Davey Crockett. He was also the first wagon-maker in McKeesport, Pa and reportedly had a contract to provide wagons to the US Army for the Mexican War. I've always assumed the Crockett connection led to the contract.
  11. Except it wasn't illegal to wear a tan suit or have a non white name.
  12. According to Wikipedia New Amsterdam was under Dutch control until 1664 until the British seized control of the harbor. The Dutch never sought to remain control preferring to keep sugar plantations in South America.
  13. But, But, Washington was a General...that name would never work. Maybe that's why Snyder wants out of his lease. He's moving them to Hampton Roads..
  14. I've had friends and relatives proudly showing off their Trump socks they received for Christmas. Drive any backroad in rural Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, etc and I will guarantee you will see at least a dozen Trump signs, flags or whatever in a 25 mile stretch. More than a year now after the election. If that doesn't constitute hero worship.....
  15. https://www.thebulwark.com/the-good-coup/ These people are turning us into a third world country.
  16. Not surprising, he's Trump's type of dictator.
  17. Maybe just revert back to the Treaty of Paris....
  18. I could see a East Coast Federation of NJ, NYC Metro, Eastern PA, Maryland, Delaware, Eastern Va, Including DC
  19. I'm more concerned about drugs, crime and terrorism from folks who claim they're "REAL ''MERCANS" and join unauthorized militias.
  20. Not smarter than you, but I think if there was a split it would end up as several smaller nations not two. You would still have the current problems of dissent within each territory. This is exactly what the delegates feared when they gathered to draft a constitution. Then it was only the fear of 13 individual nations being taken over by the likes of England, France, and Spain with lots of territory still occupied by native tribes.
