Oh Shocker Radical Left Winger BIden Gearing Up for 2025 bringing racism to everyone's door

No question ageing causes a deterioration in physical and mental ability. But the rate of decline is nowhere near the same. About 20% of those over 80 test cognitively the same as a 50 or 60 year- old.

Your dad is 82, huh. I’m one lap behind.
And you're legally running rings around our resident attorneys or attorney-wannabes here.
 
Exactly. In a perfect world, there would be no tariffs, but using them for leverage makes sense. Damn the ideology if it helps the country.
China and e’rbody else remove their 100% tariffs… we can too.
Grand old GOP says… if THEY APPLY tariffs to us… that’s cool, but if we do the equal, we are isolationist. Fvck the mcain’s and the Romney types. They are 100% totally using their electability for their own personal gain!!!!

They’re critical and have earned that right. Mas is a Vietnam vet. Sarge. And DANC. Paratrooper. But guess what. Spy. Russian language speaking spy. So yes. He too has earned that right
Mas has the right, but that certainly doesn't make him right.

LOL I was no paratrooper. I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I have all kinds of admiration for those who do it, and have done it, though.
 
The hard truth is that unless we want to completely nationalize our weapons industry, our defense industrial base kind of needs to keep supplying arms to new conflicts to stay afloat. Not much money for R&D without it.

They currently make their money by

A. Various military assistance packages and defense treaties entered into by the U.S. that require the other participant(s) purchase our weaponry

Or

B. Supplying arms to an ongoing conflict

They can’t thrive on A alone. It’s really hard to maintain an elastic, innovative defense industrial base without continuous war.
A. That's absolutely wrong and not how it works.
B. The overwhelming percentage of the foreign military sales and assistance goes to countries that aren't in conflict.

If you're ignorant about a subject you shouldn't comment on it and prove you're ignorant.

No one in the GOP said that, including McCain and Romney. You guys are "winning" against imaginary opponents.

I’m correct. A is the reason NATO has to largely standardize in our weaponry, and Israel’s annual aid is spent with our weapons companies.

Don’t gaslight me you decrepit old clown ****.

No, you're not correct. Of course, NATO standardizes their weapons systems and training, and we are treaty allies, same with Israel. Some of our stuff comes from them too. However, the majority of our sales and assistance goes to partner nations that aren't treaty allies. They want the best stuff. Who can blame them? I've lived in this world and taught this subject, so just stop with your ignorant take on it, little dumbass.

How is that different from

“Various military assistance packages entered into by the U.S. and another participant”

It’s not. I don’t know what you’re driving at but you better cut the bullshit right now old man.

I don't know what your point is. We do enter into agreements with other countries for US weapons systems, services and training. We don't REQUIRE any of them to buy these things. They want to buy these things, little dumbass. That's where you were wrong. Totally wrong.

They are forced to buy our stuff. We don’t hand out military aid without said strings attached.

This has hopefully been educational for you. Now when you teach this subject in the future you can offer more correct information.

You absolutely do not know what you're talking about. If we give a country military aid, of course it's used to buy US weapons, services and training. If they're using their own money they can buy these things from Russia, China, France, or any other country. India, for example, buys from us and from Russia to make their nonalignment stance. Countries mostly buy these things from us because it's the best in the world and everyone knows it. Why do you keep posting about a subject that you know next to nothing about?

Best stuff in the world. No objection. That’s what decades of being propped up by the U.S. government and constant U.S. foreign intervention will get you.
 
We were isolationists before WWI and WWII. Did that stance reduce our cost in blood and treasure or increase it? I think it's clear it increased the cost in both. I see the same situation now if we become isolationists again.
What do you believe the US could have done, pre-war in both instances, to stop those oncoming wars?

By the way, what would have happened if we didn’t enter WW 1? We don’t know.

As for now, what did we do to stop the Ukrainian war? Rwandan genocide? Yugoslav War? Iran/Iraq? The list goes on and on. You might be overplaying that.

Is it the best in the world because we maintain bases all over the world?

I’m not sure you realize it, but NewFarvaGoo’s harsh reality post actually backed up your position on this.
 
Nope, but it’s important for the training piece. Also for defending the sea lanes for commerce. Basic Mahan.
Ok. Now we are getting somewhere.

So some of the isolationists, I think, see this as a who-pays-for-it question and who-dies -for-it. When you’re talking about defending sea lanes and commerce, the calculus changes for some.
 
I have given a lot of thought to it. It needs to happen or the party will be irrelevant in a few years. It’s absolutely unsustainable.
This is the nonsense people are alluding to. The GOP isn’t going to be irrelevant in a few years, because Democrats blow a#%. They have zero answers for fixing the country besides spending more money. They’re stupid socialists. The GOP isn’t going anywhere.
 
Sigh. The amount of spending is not an ideological flashpoint.
It has nothing to do with ideology. Capital spent in the private sector is more productive than government spending. Of course the amount of spending matters.
The point is spending priorities. The GOP has always been better in that regard.
Like Iraq? That was a colossal waste of tax dollars and human life. You’re also sort of making my point, with this statement. Being slightly better than Democrats shouldn’t be the goal.

It’ll be irrelevant if the crazies still dominate the party. That level of drama and stupidity can’t be sustained and it won’t win national elections.
 
lol…that’s awful. My youngest tried to clean up the bathroom after he had an accident one time. The end result was poop everywhere. I had to take the light switch cover off and toilet handle to clean everything. It was terrible trying to potty train him. He’s the biggest and best looking kid of mine, but the dumbest 🤣. He’s my favorite. Gets away with murder.
This him?

The cannibals would have spit out that POS. Life long politician. Want a perfect example of what’s wrong in this country all you have to do is look at this 50 year POS inhabitant of DC.
Stoll, seems to me there are advantages of being experienced in public office and advantages in being new to politics.

Experience is always a good teacher, but outsiders can offer fresh approaches to the problems facing our country.

If outsiders (candidates with little or no experience in politics or holding political office) offer more advantages to a voter it would seem to me that an independent who is not beholding to either party would be the ideal choice.

Unfortunately, if outsiders turn you on, our political system is rigged to favor the major parties.

Having said that, it can be argued Trump is like an independent candidate as he doesn't resemble the candidates of the GOP establishment such as the Bushes or even Reagan.

Agree there are advantages. Term limits are the answer.
 
My dad is 82. He’s a smart guy but is obviously declining physically and mentally. I see the same in Biden. It also strikes me as very ironic when anyone that supports Trump says Biden is dishonest. Trump is far and away the most dishonest President in my lifetime- more than Nixon or Clinton.
Someone is either dishonest, or they are not. Personally don't believe in different tiers of honesty. Trump and Biden are both dishonest. Whether one has told 400 lies in office, and the other has told 4000 lies really doesn't differ to me.

Biden lies about policy
He’s not competent enough to understand policy, much less lie about it. He has to read about policy on teleprompters and notes, and even then he’ll add in the “pause” where a staffer has inserted “(pause)”.

When my thoughts turn to term limits, I begin to think about some of my past favorite pols from both parties such as Dick Lugar.

Heck, sometimes wish they were still serving when watching the Potomac pols these days

Lugar was all time great. Those days are gone. He spoke to us in Indy at Beta Club Convention when I was a junior in High School. I listened to every word. There’s no one in DC in right now in either party that could hold Lugar’s shock.

Mike Braun went to DC with good intentions. He thought he could find compromise and pass good legislation. He found out there’s no chance for that and he’s leaving DC for State Government where he thinks he can impact our lives positively.

Lugar was OK. Smart, fairly modest, polite. But kinda anti civil rights.
