Hard to tell. Of course it made it to YouTube.

Yikes, not good.  At least nobody was hurt.  It could have been a lot worse.  That Tri Motor looks like a handful.  What a pig.  Classic pig though.  :)

That's more annoying than the spammers.  At least I know to skip the spammers.

I understand why he did it.  Once I realized it, I just "Marked all Read".  I use the forum by selecting "New Unread Posts, so they don't show up if marked read.

Plus it may keep douchebags like Steingar from reveling in us getting Spam'd.

I got caught with a pocket knife last time I went to the country courthouse.  The guy kept it for me and I had to remind him to give it back on my way out. They ignored my empty handgun holster, at least I had the presence of mind to leave the gun in the car.

My courthouse has lockers where you can store your gun prior to going through security.  You retrieve it on the way out.  The County Sheriffs always give me dirty looks when I am doing it as they only think Law Enforcement should have the right to carry a gun.  I purposely bring it when I go to the courthouse now.

BTW, I'm not on the left, but this is why people on the left don't come here and this place becomes an echo chamber.

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen anyone say you were "on the left".  The fact that a few, or even several people disagree with you shouldn't be a reason to go hide, for you, nor anyone else. 

I think the reason that there are only a few people that lean Left here is that they can not defend their positions with facts, evidence, nor logical arguments.  They are usually based in only emotion.  (not talking specifically about you) They get frustrated, and yes sometimes there are some harsh responses, but sticks and stones, ya know?

The things I stated are evil to me, admittedly a lesser evil. We should not have a president that uses his office as a bully pulpit. We should not have a president that views himself as a representative of only some of the people and who is so divisive that some of the people agree. That is a bad president.

I am all for him using social media. He would be a better president if he filtered his thoughts better and wasn’t so impulsive.

Obama was the worst at using the Presidency as a bully pulpit.  Trayvon, the beer summit, Fundamental Transformation, You didn't build that, Obamacare, LGBT promotion, etc.  It is what Presidents do, especially when they don't have the cooperation of Congress.

Yes, I do think Trump could be a better communicator, but I will take that for his good policy actions and positions.  However, you are dead wrong about him only representing some of the people.  His policies have helped ALL, especially with jobs and the economy.  How about low energy prices partially due to his energy policy?  Poor and middle income earners buy gasoline and heat their homes also.

I just think you have a prejudice against Trump due to his image and personality.  You lack objectivity, and the ability to reasonably look at the big picture.

So you and bflynn prefer a Republican who is meek, mild, and must take a daily beating and never open their mouth in protest, like George W. Bush.

Sorry.  I prefer a man who fights back when he’s treated unfairly, particularly when it seems the only people in his corner are us unelected Americans, and who is being attacked by democrats, many republicans and the MSM every single minute.

The Democrats have made mean, nasty, lies, falsehoods and misinformation an art form.  The Republicans until Trump have never responded properly.  I am not saying I am enamored with Trump's personality. However, when rebutting the over the top insults to him, his Presidency, and America, I want someone to punch back!  Hard!

Trump has successfully made the Far Left, anti American radicals (the Jihad Squad) the FACE of the Democrat Party.  He made Pelosi damn them, then defend them.  He made Pelosi defend MS-13. Now he's making the Democrats explain and defend why all their Democrat run cities are Rat Infested Hell Holes.

Love it.  Go Trump.

Sure they can criticize the U.S., but the President also has freedom of speech.  What he said was, Go back to where you came from, make it better, then COME BACK and tell us how you did it.  I don't see that as hateful, or evil, or being an asshole.  He's standing up, and responding to the nasty opinions of these four Jihadists. 

The President's job is to respond, and give rebuttals to the opposition.  He did just that.

I see these same liberal/progressive HARPIES at anti gun rallies.  Their beta, often effeminate husbands stand there slumped, head down, while their wives are screaming about getting legal guns from law abiding citizens.  Sometimes the husbands actually speak, but just repeat what their wives say.

Many are old Hippies, Baby Boomers that need to feel important, or have nothing better to do in their lives.  Same people that preach about man made climate change, HATE Trump, and love all things government.  Think Aunt Peggy.

As of this writing Keith Richards is 76.  He looks like he's 96.

I remember years ago when he was still a Heroine addict that he would get regular blood transfusions.  I would imagine at this point in his life he no longer puts narcotics into his body unless it is prescribed for whatever procedure he's had done. 

I saw the Stones in 1977.  I thought they were old then!

The popular belief of Science and the Media in the 1970's was that an ICE AGE was imminent.  I lived through it and remember the hand wringing, and being taught about it in Science class.  The causes were man made pollutants, including industrial pollutants, an CFC's. 

Bottom line?  It NEVER HAPPENED.  So the scientists FAILED.  The MEDIA FAILED, and thank goodness we didn't further ruin an already poor economy by the "fixes" they wanted to put in place.  Oh, they succeeded in SCARING the weak minded just like they do today.

Yes we are becoming Tribal.  However, once it was OK to be tribal as an American united in respect and admiration for our country and fellow citizens.  Now this tribalism which used to be American Patriotism is now being called Racist by the Democrats and Progressives.  It is now considered White Nationalism, or even White Supremacy to be pro-American. 

Now we even have the term "American" being called Racist.  When will it en?

References?

Yes I was there, though I only read newspaper articles about it at the time. From what I've read more recently, imminent ice age was never anything but an extreme minority, fringe piece of speculation. The consensus was always, next ice age in maybe a few thousand years. Global cooling, possible from aerosols, but that never had enough support, either observational or theoretical, to be considered an actual prediction.

Remember that the news media have always run with every scientific paper predicting or even speculating on catastrophe without regard for how strong the evidence is, or even whether it has a lot of support in the scientific community. Catastrophism sells newspapers and TV ads.

If you have actual references to scientific review articles or papers that contradict this, please post them. I don't put much stock in what the news media said (or say today) about scientific matters since they generally haven't the background to put things in the proper context.

What was the result and outcome of the claims the scientific community made at the time?  I don't need studies or links to show what happened.  We have decades of history.   NOTHING...…….

You're squirming.

Telling Americans to go back to where they came from because they have brown skin is utterly racist.

That is utterly a LIE.

No, he told them to go back to where they came from because they are assholes.  That they happen to have brown skin is irrelevant.

^^^^This.  THEY brought up race, and skin color, not Trump.  He said nothing about it, yet the Media and Dems (same thing) call him the racist one.

Following the azure path to failure would be returning to teh days of GW Bush and his policies of appeasing the lefties hoping that they might like him for it.

Instead they turned up their hatred and demanded he sit silently by and take it, which has resulted in the pussified segment of the republican party that can't seem to find their balls with a flashlight and girl scout troop.

Appeasing leftist communists (democrats) only empowers them. They never offer a bit of respect in return.

I have NO problem with what Trump said, and glad he calls a spade a spade.  "Republicans" like GWB, Jeb, Romney, McCain, etc are WORSE than Democrats.  My point was that Azure was truthfully telling how the Left interprets, and uses this stuff.  No, it is not a valid reason for Trump to stop doing it, nor a reason to appease the Leftist/Media cabal.  Appeasement = weakness and failure.
