Voter fraud is probably like cockroaches or bedbugs in the home: If you see one, you've got 200.

Well they certainly don’t feel the need for military style assault rifles and concealed handguns !

Mention was made of guns being banned in the UK...so I was wondering what they use for the fox and pheasant hunts.

Highly-trained hunting dogs, wolves and hawks and boomerangs and slingshots, of course. Being Jolly Olde England, there's always the trusty crossbows and longbows.????

Errrr. I believe you need to take some Remedial History 101 and/or read and understand the question before answering.

I think you didn't like the answer. BTW The Vietnamese geurillas won. Result.

Gee, what gave you the clue? What the H are you referring to, exactly.

Since the end of the cold war, can you think of any time in any democratic country when armed civilians defended against tyranny?

Vietnam. And guess who won?

One doesn't have to imagine. Have you ever heard of Chicago, Il, USA?

 Is that anywhere near Buriram?

Ever heard of 'Google Maps' (I even stated Chicago's country, just in case)? BTW, be careful where you Buriram. I'd hate to hear of anything untoward happening to it.

As for background checks, criminals apparently have no problem getting weapons without them.

You can be perfectly sane and have high morals and obtain a gun or a lot of guns.

Someday something happens and you snap and shoot some one,now you are a criminal.

You see how this works?

"he should have never bought a fast bike"

"she should never have gone out with him"

"we should never have elected him"

and so on.

The line that criminals always have access to guns is very old and worn out.

It is time people start behaving like civilized beings.

No, I don't see how this works. But I think I see how 'straw man arguments' [wiki link] work.

Do you want all people to 'start behaving like civilized beings'? Good Luck with that!

Just imagine how safe America would be if they ALL had guns and could carry their guns ALL the time where ever they went.

 

That is the logical extension isn't it?

 

Just imagine how many dead Americans there'd be!

"The former New York City mayor said he turned the laptop over to police in Delaware with Bernard Kerik because he felt "uncomfortable" with it in his possession in an interview Monday with Newsmax TV's Greg Kelly."

It has no metadata, only pdf files. Why is that, so it cannot be traced as fake. Putin must be laughing into his vodka.

Wrong! Putin is a martini (that is six parts vodka) man, not vodka. He thinks he's 007. I hunt for ancient permafrost animals with him occasionally so I should know. He's never mentioned Hunter's laptop, BTW.

So, using the Bolton case as a parallel gets the Melania book nowhere. Even if the book demonstrably damages Melania, the case brought by the Feds cannot appeal to that. They have to show actual damage to the country. A significant reach, to say the least.

Maybe it will wend it's way to the SCOTUS where, by then, the court may be 'fully-packed' and it will certainly not stand a chance. WDYT?

very misleading title.  

A better article/account [Euronews link] with a much better title. I guess the canal where the bomb was detonated got a bit deeper.

Tallboy Bomb [wiki link].

 

Designed as an 'earthquake' or 'seismic' bomb' to reach high terminal velocity on a high altitude drop - around 750 mph (nearly the speed of sound). Extremely strong casing so it could penetrate to a depth of 24 meters and through 16 feet of concrete. Apparently it was slightly too slow to give a startling sonic boom. Good Luck to the ordnance disposal team on this one.

 

 

 

I just love it! Using metric and imperial measures for length in the same sentence. No wonder American Rockets explode, and Mars landers crash. 55555

I did it to support 'diversity in metrics' ????. The truth is I was too lazy to convert the 24 meters and wondered at the time if anyone suffering from OCD would notice (I did). Good thing TVF is not 'rocket science', huh?

What?! His 'monster' new ICBM [TVF link] is not cheering him up? I guess resigning and turning the mess over to the wife to clean up is out of the question. ????

Astounding example of a TVF CJ in this thread. It deserves some kind of award-of-the-year or the century or even the millennium.

I'm voting for the fly.

 

 

Great choice! The fly's election would indeed be an admirable government downsize. Its taxes would be minuscule, for starters and they don't require much "pork" either. Do they make masks that small because viral transmission might be problematic.

I want a plexiglass enclosure for my entire bicycle (and for my exercise cycle as well which doesn't even leave my room)! I suppose this is because neither wants to wear a mask and I don't blame them. Maybe the phlegm will be wildly flying during the interruption contest debate.
