LaxPower Back-Up Stick

I've been debt free & have not paid a cent in interest on anything since 1979, but I'm not a fiscal conservative. Okie Dokie. When our deficit exceeds our GDP & our debt service exceeds our defense costs, it's time to lower our credit card limit & forgo a new car. I'm for entitlement re...

This tells you everything you need to know. When elected, Trump wil do the exact same thing he diid last time: nothing. Lift not one finger to help the working class. He's telling his fans this, and they can't see it. He's going to serve them what they are begging for: more conspiracy theories. More...

It's not that hard to comprehend why (R)'s & Conservatives feel & react as they do. They don't expect Trump to do everything they hope for (like balance the budget). They know that no President can or will, but they conclude that the deficit $$$ will be more effectively spent by Trump. They...

If someone votes for Trump because they prefer his policies or are reassured by the decisions he made during his first term, apparently their vote does not count...or no such voters exist...or they're betraying an oath...or they're White Christian Nationalists. Not what I wrote. And you know that. ...

When did lax teams begin to have serious weight training programs? In my first year at UVA, 1967-8, we had to do some lifting and distance running in the off season. I got cut in February and ended up on the B squad, where we didn’t have any formal conditioning regimen. It was basically club. I was...

] I can't hold my own with you. You're obviously way more well-read and informed than I am. Old Salt seems like he could give you a good go, but I'm not a regular on the Politics boards so that's just a guess. You're holding your own just fine! We're just having a discussion about ideas....no winne...

-- Trump did not start any new wars. He ended the war on ISIS by unleashing the ROE & letting his regional commander finish the fight asap, then reduced our ME presence. He also stopped our bleeding in Afghanistan, drew down our forces there & left in place a conditions based exit plan. -- ...

Sure. But that's not at all the same thing as caring about policies. What they are doing is starting with the position that they like Trump no matter what, and then inventing reasons why, and discarding anything and everything that runs counter to "I like Trump". Waaaaay too simplified. W...

Not to get too far off topic here, but I get the impression from talking to a lot of different people, that ultimately, there is a large segment of the population in America that doesn't care what Trump does in his personal life or even, to a degree, his political life, so long as he continues to t...

Top 3 Cornell '76 Cuse '90 Maryland '22 A reminder, the equipment/sticks back in 76 were nothing like those in the 2000s. ....and the level of competition was nowhere near what it is today either. Yes, but that means the regular season was much easier....but the semis and Final were harder because ...

Would love to hear some feedback on this quick excerpt from Milton Friedman. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7k3NBANiif/ Afan - it seems counter to what your opinion is about always wanting to raise taxes to pay for more state and federal services. I suppose your argument may be that people can not ge...

Me Mendes is a massive stain on the Dems. Along with Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank who sat on signature banks board when they failed the Frank in Dodd Frank… Exactly. How is it that non-Republican-Americans WANT our FBi to go after corrupt, law breaking politicians? To quote Maher: what's wrong with...

Ken Buck was on Maher. I have great respect for him, and agree with, and disagree with many of his policies and ideas. Just as it should be. He said the Trump conviction sets a precedent. He forgot that we already went after Bill Clinton. And Nixon. And Hillary for emails. And Hunter and Joe. And Me...

OPINION The view from the right on Trump’s conviction Even conservatives critical of the former president balked at a trial that many of them saw as an abuse of the justice system. By Carine Hajjar Globe Staff, June 1, 2024 In the hours after former president Donald Trump made history with his 34 f...

....and here's my 10 year old point, from Obama.....nice and short. NOTHING for his base. Shiny objects. Conspiracy theories. Hate. Division.
