Not surprised, and not going to comment on todays foolishness. BUT, many have owned or run a business. When a prospective employee is being interviewed what do you typically look for? Education, experience, good solid attitude, how do they dress and what is the image they portray to the customer, previous work history, etc etc.

WHY do we not have the same requirements to hold any government office? I am not asking for a PhD or anything but how about a required set of courses in Government Operations, Legal requirements of a member of government, and what else people? Because while we may complain about this person or that person doing this or that, any moron can run and get elected. Very little requirements to get the job, being elected being the biggest hurdle.

 

Hmmm…remember back about 4 years…..era of the Pink Knit Caps…...."Resist!"......the more things change, the more they just stay the same…...

Maybe a little Grand Funk Railroad, LIVE…..."Heartbreaker" "Locomotion", "Foot stompin music"....then cap it off with…"We're an American Band"

Just back from Washington… To vilify Trump is very similar to what people did to Herbert Hover here is a good book on Hoover

Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath
https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Betrayed-Herbert-Hoovers-Aftermath/dp/0817912347

Guys, I was telling people a few years ago- read about Hoover, and now and behold B.O.H.I.C.A…

This is great news!!! It is Orthodox Christmas tomorrow and we are still with the COVID and have the show…

Pottz I'll get working on Xmas stuff but Gunny may want Hot Pockets which he will have to deal with you.

 

Here are a few sides to add…

We're not gonna go down that politics rabbit hole again, right?

 

By the way, now I am craving smoked sausage.

 

We re not gonna go down that politics rabbit hole again, right?

- Cricket

Umm, no not really gives me indigestion.

 

The point that I wish to make is that from 12 noon to now D_W had a fall ( no Humpty Dumpty joke )
the ambulance got me to ER they got me in took fantastic care - a few scrapes but a light orbital fracture and black eye- and since Pottz said no picture or no story.

self delete yet a story

And thank you Cricket- 100% no politics- for I had a few hours on the stretcher and had plenty of time to think about my prediciment and life- honestly, we have so much stuff to share. It makes me happy to celebrate Orthodox Christmas to think about other things. i.e. BBQ piq on an Orthodox Christmas with the trimmings.
Many memories- great choice Pottz- save the bones and we'll make split pea soup.

Setbacks my friends if it doesn't kill us then… just saying…

Ps. One of the first things, when I got home, was this Forum-

Pss. Pottz - the cats got the Dire wolf to like tuna- I left some in the smoke truck

WBN- what is the matter with you? When an authority gives a command, soldier- I learned yes Mam or Sir. and when you were in the military and you would have said that to an officer… anybody wants to share military smart-ass comments and consequences…

Hopefully, you'll get a Christmas pass…

 

By the way, now I am craving smoked sausage.

- Cricket

Come back tomorrow I'll bring authentic Polish- Hungarian sausage to Pottz's smoker…

 

Pottz we know you can pull this off… this forum is counting on you…

Dude big night Wednesday- let us know if we can help?

She asked a question, an order would have been something along the lines of jump in a lake of fire. LOL

Here are some classics from Iraq.

1. For the love of Moses and all the prophets what are you doing? Talking them to death?

2. To the idiot that is showing a white t-shirt on a stick. If you do not put that away I will personally come over and give you a circumcision with a chainsaw.

3. Moses, Elijah, and all the prophets you need to use the toilet? Now? What do you propose? Calling a time out? Your Mother did drugs while she was pregnant with you didn't she?

4. Congratulations LT you just called in an airstrike on Montana.

5. What was I doing? I heard they were selling this lot of sand and went to put a deposit on it.

6. I have one method, shoot first, shoot some more then ask the questions.

7. The enemy has come over the berm, I am going to meet them halfway.

8. It seemed like a good idea at the time ya know?

9. When you shoot do you actually aim or are you using the Force?

10. Go to hell? In case you have not noticed we are in hell moron, what you want me to sit in the corner?

11. If you do that again I swear I will shoot you myself!

12. Rules of engagement? What we are playing checkers you moron?

13. If I am killed someone please tell my mother I had on clean underwear. It is in my right front cargo pocket.

14. Go ahead stick your head up I will cure all your ails.

15. Advise we are under fire, enemy is pinned at berm just north of gate, rec you bring baggies multiple hostiles in horizontal positions …..... Negative I am green alpha on ammo, green alpha on H2O, Zippo is topped off and I have nine cigars, did I mention I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last month?

 

WBN- I couldn't have asked for a better reply- good times tomorrow

Potzz if I don't see smoke tomorrow I'll have to call in…

and what will be in the box?

 

May I add a prayer for this country-
I wish to thank God for protecting me today- yes I fell and got hurt but it is only now after catching up this evening-
I can understand the frustrations but we can do it- I am safe and secure in my area which is thanks and to you guys stay safe…
We have so much to talk about happy wood chipping…

Pottz- will you have a few Hot Pockets for our special guests and good coffee… in case they ask for them…

 

Under their current crisis, that would be an end of money.

- TopamaxSurvivor

No. The Constitution is very clear about this. It is the Congress that shall have the power to coin MONEY, and shall regulate the value thereof.

It is that simple, and the Congress can start doing it tomorrow, and there would be NO national debt. Same for every other Country in the World.

In fact, Congress could print one unit of Money for exactly what the national debt is, and pay it off tomorrow, if they so wished, or if so was demanded by the People who knew how the Money-System really works (or doesnt, according to one´s point of view).

The Federal Reserve is Not federal, nor are there any reserves. We dont use Money anymore, we use debt instruments called FRN´s.

Ya all should read that book, DW posted.
Then, read: Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Then you will have a partial understanding of how the Global Pirates operate.

- wildwoodbybrianjohns

I remember that book from long ago. When is the last time Congress got anything right? The corruption of the entire system makes th dollar worthless. Ending the Federal Reserve will not fix anything at this point. Salvage operation should have stated before the end of the silver certificates.
