Chairman of Joint Chiefs thought Trump might attempt a legit coup

Comments probably have nothing to do with him being out of a job if Trump is elected. Also wonder why he was not brought up on Treason charges when he self admittedly told the Chineese that he would inform them if Trump ever decided to attack.
Read the Constitution and you'll find out.

Trump suggests Cheney should be in front of a firing squad

This is so dumb. He was saying Liz Cheney is quick to send kids to war let’s see how she’d feel if it was her. He’s advocating the opposite of violence. Good grief. No ability for discernment. Context. The dumbing down of America is evidenced daily on this board.
Yeah I agree. I don't like her dad for the reasons Trump stated. Warhawk who lied and got us into the Iraq war.

However, what was Liz's role in that? I know she was in the state department at the time but not really "high" level, right?

Is anyone for Micah Beckwith?

He was hoodwinked, look at the speech he delivered in July of 1981, well before that bill. It included this paragraph:

  • Illegal immigrants in considerable numbers have become productive members of our society and are a basic part of our work force. Those who have established equities in the United States should be recognized and accorded legal status. At the same time, in so doing, we must not encourage illegal immigration.

Look at the rest of the speech. A far cry from Trump.

As to the military/intervention, Beirut, Granada, Libya bombings. We sent troops into Honduras in 87, and used naval against Iran in 88. Mas is who I was responding to, take that into account with this list.
He had to say that to justify his actions. And he wasn't faced with the number of illegals crossing the border today, nor the EO's that made many would-be illegals legal.

Tips for my First Disc Golf Tourney Tomorrow?

Eff politics and let's talk about what really matters. I'd love to hear your EXPERT tips/advice.

I'm playing in my first DG tournament tomorrow in the MA3 division with about 30 in our division. I hurt my throwing shoulder a few weeks ago so I'll be throwing 95% forehand (anything outside of 75-100 ft). Even with the handicap, my goal is to shoot Even for the tourney and, if I'm feeling ok, about -8 to win the damn thing for the Hoosier Nation.

Let me know what you think will help me make it to the podium and let the Colorado natives and other transplants know that Disc Golf is more than a game in Indiana.

Should I bring a Bluetooth speaker and loudly listen to Mellencamp on repeat?
Should I critique others' form?
What course is it at?

Washington coach

People are quoting fake stories made up for clicks. I saw this on facebook and it was a fake article that initially called Fisch the head coach at AZ rather than Washington which is where he coached before.
Yes - there are a series of overseas Facebook accounts that go by various names, and they are doing this with all the teams, not just IU. They run all these outlandish, false stories to get you to click on the links, which are loaded with spam, pop-ups and viruses.
They had one about Rhule and Cig. They had one about Day and Rhule. The articles (and I don’t recommend clicking on them) have not only false, defaming claims but complete inaccuracies. They ran one a week back indicating that Ryder Anderson is rejoining the IU team. Guy has been graduated for 2 years and trying to make an NFL roster and was on the Giants practice squad at one time. The accounts are run out of 3rd world countries. People are buying these hook,line and sinker and getting all riled up.

Harris vs. Trump 2024

If I was them, I'd hedge those bets.

I'm not saying Trump can't win. I understand why the betting markets are favoring him (although those have been dropping slightly for him the past couple days...and I would expect some volatility here on out). Most people are assuming that he's going to win AZ, GA, and NC. He may or may not win NV -- but winning there, for him, is not enough to get him to 270. I think it gets him to 268. NV almost becomes immaterial.

I think NC will go Trump. AZ and GA are more up in the air. But, assuming he does win those 3 states, then he just has to win one of the Rust Belt battlegrounds. Harris would have to win all 3.

It looks to me like she's going to win Michigan. If so, then it comes down to Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Of the two, I think Trump looks better in PA. Wisconsin is as tight as a duck's arse.

Why would anybody look at all this and have confidence in how it will turn out?
What makes you think Wisconsin is close 🤔

You going to get another gig in your field?
I have no plan to work for anyone, ever again. I had set the stage for my own consulting/ independent Rep gig 3 years ago. LLC is set up, contacts stored, feelers sent out and positive reviews received. NOW, 8 days unemployed, with $ in the bank, I am in a slow roll of analysis paralysis. I expect to get over it in the nest 3-4-5..... Months or years... I've not decided which yet. :)
With the exception of Medical, I can live on $800-$1000 a month.... I've got time to figure it out. Now just to convince the wife that her meat options are squirrel or deer, unless she picks up a 2nd job! Totally up to her. :)

Is anyone for Micah Beckwith?

Pro immigration? Hardly. He got snookered by Tip O'Neal, on the idea that forgiving those illegally in the country would mean we'd get tougher on the border.

Trump rebuilt the military and gave them everything they asked for. He's just not finding an excuse to use them.

All Republicans are for free trade, but Reagan and others are for fair trade. Trump is the only one willing to enforce the 'fair' part.

Interesting as I am now investigating Health insurance. The Wife has IBS, but has been well maintained for 3-4 yrs via medication and a procedural Colonoscopy every 2 years.
Obama care is $1200 a month, Thanks O'bama. Private insurance that doesn't cover the IBS is <$400 a month.
Why again are my tax $$'s paying for Mark (and other) health insurance when I can't afford to pay for my own?

Off-Topic: Hot Box is really just Pizza Express, right?

Pretty sure they aren't the same.

PizzaX is the former Pizza Express.

I think the Hot Box name came to be because they used the Pizza Express name and got sued by the real Pizza Express. I remember seeing it in Broad Ripple and being excited, then realized it wasn't the beloved Pizza Express that got me through a bunch of Sunday nights when living in Teter.
this now makes so much sense! I have a Hot Box near me and they are the absolute BEST breadsticks since Pizza Express 35 years ago!

Throw a mid off the tee if your form isn't there. It's MA3, you'll probably pick up strokes on the field.
No doubles. Limit you mistake to a bogey. Take the medicine and chip out.
Warm up. No really. We're old (at least I am)

Never Mellencamp. Always bluegrass or jam bands
Always critique other's form in a competitive situation. Offer tips. Or just watch them throw and then shake your head subtly.



No need. We raw dog bro. Always.


Actually, there is a transgender female playing professional disc golf and it has started quite the stir.
