great idea to sue lol, maybe he gets it back, but the court can't force Trump to select him to ask question or to answer any questions he shouts out.  Picking battles is very important imo, this is not how they should have done it, though time will tell.  If I was Trump I'd just ignore the little prick and or subtlety punish the rest for his behavior and let the group/mob put the pressure on him.  Trump is an Alpha,  Acosta is a Beta trying to be an Alpha, Trump need to be an Omega.

I love my country for many reasons, one being, it's the greatest.

while you are time traveling can you p.m. the lottery numbers, thanks.

I didn't read it since the headline has something to do with El Salvador, this is just conspirecy theory trying to time some non sense to the U.S.

He tried to backtrack a bit.  The idea of them fending for themselves collectively makes sense and is a great idea.  Though i would give him a big F.U. for the comment of having to defend themselves against the U.S.  that would never happen, and they couldn't anyway.

I would sub GP with either A or B and put GP as either A or B.

a tentative vote for Wylted might stir things up a bit, and bring out some lurkers.....just a though.

We have 2 dead innocents, correct?  It appears those who "suspected" them and called for their demise may have an agenda.  While Supa could be chalked up to a mistake, 2 in a row could be the beginning of a pattern.

I'll have to go back and see who was calling for them to be lynched.  Just because Budda wasn't isn't relevant as the end result is still the same.

the way I read it is, he was going to make it happen regardless, when it was evident that it was going to happen, he voted for someone else.  There's a sense of someone who is really good at getting others to do their dirty work for them.  He pushed pretty hard on Supa who was innocent.  Now his sights are on GP......

Wylted is subtle in leading people to conclusions and decisions he would like them to make.......the first vote makes me think this.  Someone who was going to wait to the last minute to cast a vote to make sure the lynching happened, but then not doing so when not needed.  We should re-examine that.

sub foot for head and hope he has good aim.

and these p.o.s. are still allowed to spew their racists hate on tv with no one batting an eye, yet the few fools carrying torches draw national outrage and attention, even when they are nobodies.

multiple studies have been done about fatherless homes, unwed mothers, high school drop out rates etc, while that's just a small portion of the larger social issues, imo that is the very base and beginning of what we are seeing today.  The shouts for mental health and other reforms are just that, a lot of hot air.  While I didn't and don't like Obama I had high hopes he would do something, instead it tried to push his anti gun agenda and increase purchases through the roof.  While not much as still been done, it's more than 8 years of Obama, even if all they do is talk about it.  Trump has given some limited press on the subject of prison reforms etc.  Hopefully something will and can be done, but I don't have high hopes.  The only way to have true affect and success is to control the will rather than the means, removing the will makes the means irrelevant.  But that requires a level of morality, ethics and values.  For many those things are lost or never were.  Society needs to reclaim them somehow.

I think if you don't pay or break your contract they block the imei to stop you from using it all together or with a different service provider.  In essence it's a way to repo the phone, sort of.  Far more cost effective and effective that suing in small claims or hiring a collections agency.  I'm sure it's part of the contract you agree to when buying the phone or service.

I was being a smart ass because Kommiefornia is one of those states with such strict laws to prevent these sorts of things and yet.....

if that had been her hip she would never lead the hospital alive give her age and health, depending on the severity she still may not leave, pneumonia is a real killer of the elderly in the hospital, but with the best healthcare money can buy she'll probably be fine, unlike an average American.

California needs more guns laws, like magazines with 10 or less rounds so you can't shoot more than 10 people.

the party of piece, too bad he doesn't have a wall like the Obamas, did you see the conservative riots over the lost elections?

(oh I didn't realize it was browser based, that works for me, though no voice or sound while at work....  :)  I have to keep the illusion I'm doing stuff)

(I usually post from my work pc, can't d/l discord to it though, I have it on my phone so could use that I guess)

the Ferrari from the original Magnum P.I.  (Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS)

this is the very core imo, this is how people become sell sufficient and responsible, handouts and entitlements as the primary source of "help" keeps people poor and dependent, teaching a man to fish is really the only true way to help.

children are generally teachable hehe  politicians who are mostly lawyers go through 8 years of grueling college to learn and hone this skill, and some make a great deal of money doing it.  But w/o going too far into the weeds, civility is all but dead, we are near the bottom imo as evidenced by violence against those whom they disagree with.  I see no turning back from the polarization.

what has surprised me is the other reporters don't put pressure on him or black ball him.  The time he uses and wastes is time they could be asking questions etc  He's like the basketball player who hogs the ball, shoots ever chance he can, and sucks at it.

I mean let's face it, he used his male strength to prevent her from take the mic which she grabbed, but using his left hand/arm to push her arm down.  Bit aggressive given the setting etc.

tbh I'm use to and expect politicians to lie, I mean how can you not be?  it just boils down to their skill at it.  Imo they didn't need to use what you see in the video as an excuse for the ban.  I'm not sure why they even went there other than to make Acosta look bad/worse than usual and perhaps gain some sympathy.  Acosta knows/knew the job of that intern, so he's a dick for many reasons and on many levels. To that end there should be several microphones which have a kill switch.  They should have left him holding a deactivated mic and given an active one to someone else, issue solved.

you can change the playback speed on files then save them, it's not complicated at all, even if it was sped up I don't see how that's relevant in anyway way, Acosta has gotten more leeway than he deserves for a very long time, he pushed her arm away, doesn't matter what video you watch, that's what happened, she was trying to get the microphone from him, she seemed to be in a hurry so not sure what exactly her job is/was, but no matter what speed you watch the video at, what happened happened.

here watch it in slow-mo 

doctored how?  zooming in and looping is done all the time, can't be considered doctored, there was nothing added, removed or faked from watching the original and the zoomed.  I was actually watching when it happened and there's nothing 'doctored" unless you are seeing something different, if so a link is really needed.

when he walked away from the podium, I would have kept walking and said sorry folks this is over and you can thank him for it, and left.  He's doing THEM a favor talking as long and often as he does, they sure as hell are doing Trump any favors.  why these mics don't have a remote cut off switch i'll never understand.

(hmm we should light up some torches just in case, those work best for swarms of whatever I think)

(not if you wear it instead of drink it ;)  )

because of the time crunch and information available

atm Supa's reaction, over reaction seems to be a tell more than genuine, but that's more a lean than position for me as I'm not firm on that opinion,  Budda is slick but that doesn't mean he's not being truthful.  Of the 2 Supa has taken a very firm position where as Budda is mainly probing and on a reaction finding mission, which seems to be successful for him so far, to what end, well that's what we need to determine I guess.

prisoners use to make licence plates lol  that would be pretty funny, gun safes are hella expensive.

how do you raise standard of living to those who don't even have water?  while you try to remedy that situation they will continue to have children they can't support as well as the area that can't support the current population.  Is it possible to raise the standard of living fast enough to outpace their birth rate?  Realistically, I don't think so.  Both population control and raising the standard need to be done at the same time, otherwise you are just chasing your tail.

I've posted so much on this topic on 2 other sites that I just can't go there yet again.  It's all been said before, there's nothing new I'm not sure why he keeps bringing up these old, tired ideas.  If anything resurrect the old threads or provide the links from ddo and the island so we don't have to relook up the same old stuff.  Guns is one thing I like arguing about, but until there's something knew I don't wish to beat that dead horse any more.  That doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't examine the multitude of facts and arguments that have already been made, but I can't imagine too many are interested in re-inventing the wheel.

sounds a bit like the man in black  hhmm?

I basically agree with what you said.  There was no real definition or starting point on the subject.  Water is a great example in it's importance and in some places scarcity of potable water.  So then i will go back to what I said before because your example really bolsters population control due to the limited resource, water.

thanks for you analysis as this is my first attempt at this type of game, unless that was a most artful way to point the finger and whom you want targeted.....hhmmm

is that a phaser in your pocket or are you just happy to see me, methinks the Supa doth protest too much

Budda is a clever one, there's no denying that, but I'm not convinced

(winery sounds good, we could use some wine, if we stake out the church during the festival, we can act like drunks to go un-noticed and the smell of wine on us will help)

(I remember that now, time check, where are we time wise in relation to the festival?  that could determine or limit our choices I guess)(what do you see as our priorities?  mine atm is the wagon and that guy you are going to meet, but will meeting him be too late, will he tell you the plan as it happens, timing is a bugger)

best argument ever, end of thread.

(yeah that was him!  the intrigue is real, so now what?  I don't want to create any needless enemies hehe)

(good point he may have put Ireena somewhere)

(if we can make some connection between the guy that owns the wagon, forget his name began with an R I think and vampires/Strahd, seems they all showed up at the same time.....who was the guy you were suppose to meet, he's part of it too or is that the same guy and owns the wagon?)

(should we burn the place where the vampires had their coffins?  I don't know if we get lucky and they have to flee that they would return there to heal, I'd like to leave them no place to return to)

i read the links and what I could but this is out of my league, thought I could follow along and catch on, but I don't get it, so this style of game doesn't seem to be for me.

full ban would be bloody and the end of the U.S. as we know it, would be a prime time for invasion by a foreign country.

given the physical comparison of urinals to toilets, urinals must be much cheaper to make and maintain, so at the very least a separate room for those would make sense.  i'd have to be pretty desperate to use a public toilet.

people are born into poverty and also escape it, but how and why are they able to do that when others can't?  In the U.S. poverty doesn't have to be a permanent state otherwise there wouldn't be the success stories we hear about.  There's numerous  legal immigrants coming to the U.S. with nothing, working hard, starting a business, supporting their family and their children continue the success often going to college and doing well.  There is no solution to poverty if people don't have the drive to not be poor.  Entitlements and society has made being poor comfortable, no big deal.  Without work ethic and self worth they are doomed to live that life.  The family traits seen in other cultures help their children and generations to be successful.  Asians and Indians out preform all others even when they start out with absolutely nothing.  They have solved the problem for poverty for their own and others can as well, if they choose to.

sure I get that, makes sense to me.  although I reply to you, some of the verbiage is put in anticipating others will read, so it's for their benefit, as you are pretty level headed imo

mostly I was pointing out to the o.p. to get what he really wants he'd have to vote for the opposite party, I love good irony.
