  • Hold on.

    First line “One method”

    Last line “our last shot.”

    Pretty quick self contradiction.

    Besides, the 2026 are about 17 months away. There’s no way you could convene an Article V convention in that time.

    Sounds like you just don’t want to admit you haven’t got anything practical to suggest.





  • imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a ‘peace candidate.’ He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn’t want to raise taxes.





  • 90 year old woman goes to the local brothel. She tells the madam that she wants to try something new, so she wants to try being a hooker for a night. Madam makes some phone calls, finds some customers who 'd be into it, and tells the woman to come back the next night.

    The next day the lady arrives, and soon the first john shows up. They walk upstairs, spend an hour, and come back. The second customer is waiting, and so he and she go upstairs. After she comes back down, the third guy arrives, so it’s back upstairs.

    At the end of the night the madam asks if she wants to come back?

    “Oh, no dear. the sex was fine but those damn stairs will kill me.”








  • The only reason the Americans won is that they had the French Navy on their side.

    The French went broke supporting the Americans.

    Also, the Brits were willing to cede to the Americans. The Brits kept getting US cotton and they were going to get it cheaper because once the British empire withdrew the Americans could expand into the Native nations the British had treaties with.

    It’s not comparable in any way.




  • The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

    Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

    Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

    Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.
