Re: Chaos in USA
Possible Trump VPs, polling of Republican voters.
Tim Scott is the current bookies' choice.
Haley is a big no-no.

Re: Chaos in USA
It will be interesting to see if NYC will prosecute the darling of the left, Jon Stewart, for the exact same thing they went after President Trump.
If they do, I have a feeling a lot of wealthy lefty NYC liberals who “overvalued” their properties are sweating a bit and will hopefully come under the microscope.
I am sure the lefty MSM will use weird mental gymnastics, only known to them, to explain the actions of Jon Stewart et al. were somehow completely different from President Trump’s actions (even though Deutsche Bank testified in the defense of President Trump stating they had no issue with his valuation).
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-styl ... 20072.html#
“ According to The Post, the assessor valuation was came in even lower at $847, 174. The publication reports that Stewart appears to have paid significantly lower property taxes that were calculated based on this assessor valuation price – which is the exact practice that Stewart recently called Trump out for during his show.
Stewart had argued: “Money isn’t infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn’t go to someone who’s giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivised for corruption.””

Re: Chaos in USA
I'm sorry they experienced this, it must have been frightening for them especially if they did not at first realise what it was:

Did the Chump sit down suddenly?
Re: Chaos in USA
No, God is showing his displeasure at how Trump is being treated.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

Re: Chaos in USA
What do you mean, exactly?
This was a seismic event, an earthquake:
Seismic events occur when tension in the earth’s crust causes slippage or sudden movements of the bedrock. These events can range from being barely detectable, to having dramatic impacts on the landscape that may in turn cause tidal waves, volcanic eruptions or landslides.
Earthquakes can be very frightening and destructive.
You can learn more about them at this link:
Simple English Wikipedia: Earthquake

Re: Chaos in USA
Earthquakes are God’s warning to mankind to smarten up.

Re: Chaos in USA
I'm sorry you feel that way.
I hope you might retract your opinion.

Re: Chaos in USA
I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of ketchup bottles hit the wall in unison.
Re: Chaos in USA
Fascinating, Karearea. You can learn more about Trump and New York from many sources.

Re: Chaos in USA
This long piece, which takes apart the latest left wing book dismissing rural Trump supporters as enraged racists, is published by a left wing academic in a well-left website.
Since the academic was quoted in the book, his ruthless analysis thereof is both deserved and accurate.
It tries to explain why rural America is not more racist than the cities, why its inhabitants are not irrational, and why the Dems are doomed if they continue to characterize them as such.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/ ... h-00150395
The problem is, from my viewpoint, that the solutions offered for how Democrats should engage with rural areas are fundamentally not what Democrats are either inclined or able to do, not least because rural folk essentially want less government and Democrats want more.

Re: Chaos in USA
Yes, same here. The Laurentian Liberals look down on rural Canadians.
NDP is no better even thought they claim to be for the "common man" (as long as he wears a Rolex and $4000 suits). Charlie Angus deciding to not run as he knows he will be ousted in his rural riding.

Re: Chaos in USA
With the eclipse approaching in less than a week, over half of U.S. cities along the eclipse's path are fully booked for the night of April 7th ...

Re: Chaos in USA
I do not recall such excitement when we had an eclipse! It was on a Saturday which is museum workshop day so we had a lot of people there, we hung up a white sheet and shut the big doors. With everyone inside it was easy to maneuver the sheet to catch a beam coming through a convenient nail hole giving us a nice camera obscura display of the event!
Been in data comm since we formed the bits individually with a Morse key.

"Dagenham East", as my brother, the London Cabbie, would say.
That's four stops beyond Barking, for those not familiar with the District Line of the Tube.

Re: Chaos in USA
I’m waiting for the Orange One claim that he organised the eclipse and that his is the best eclipse ever
When all else fails, read the instructions.
