CMRivdogs Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Trying real hard for that Nobel Peace Prize thingy Quote
smr-nj Posted September 6 Posted September 6 So, asking for a friend. If the president stops, let’s say, by his count, a dozen wars… BUT gets us (& the rest of the world) right smack in the middle of a world war…. which results in a nuclear winter - - - - - - is that President still in line for the Nobel Peace Prize? 🤔 Or is the fact that Norway has been incinerated hurt his odds?

Frankly if we reach DEFCON 1, I don't think it really matters. We need to start teaching our grandkids how to effectively Duck and Cover Quote

I just tell them it's been a threat my whole life and never happened. There's nothing we can do if it happens. Quote

That's not the America I grew up in... What a snowflake this POTUS is 3 Quote

We 100% create the market and then accuse the people of filling it of being the problem. So the whole premise is at best a half-truth. Can anyone argue that the Venezuelans are responsible for more US addiction than Purdue pharma? How many Sacklers has JD or his boss dropped any bombs on? I'm sure that family has at least one Yacht our erstwhile drug enforcement wannabes could have blown out of the water. Edited September 7 by gehringer_2 1 Quote

Hopefully the Broadway edition they did on CNN is on YouTube or floating around somewhere. The highlight to me has always been his speech to the RTNDA ( now called the Radio TV Digitial News Association) back in the day it was the Radio Television News Directors Association. Now it seems that there is no news to direct. 1 Quote
CMRivdogs Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Quote The Trump administration is planning to make the test to become a U.S. citizen more difficult, possibly with an essay requirement that would help give officials wide discretion on which immigrants are approved. https://www.axios.com/2025/09/07/trump-immigration-us-citizenship-test?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top I can't argue with the concept of a tougher citizenship test. But I will propose all office seekers and appointees to federal offices also be required to take the test with the results being public. Quote

Can I wager HUGE money that Trump was given immunity from the FBI to avoid criminal prosecution and to try to take down Epstein? But did they have the correct target of investigation? Why not both? Hmmm.... Quote

Cruzer1 Posted September 7 Posted September 7 According to Michael Wolff, things got nasty between Epstein and Trump when Epstein showed Trump a property that he was going to buy for 36 million. Trump went behind his back, and bought it for 41 million. He sold the property to a Russian for 95 million less than 24 months after, which can be considered money laundering. To protect himself from Epstein, Trump went to the police and said that Epstein was running a hor house, according to Wolff. Quote
Deleterious Posted September 7 Posted September 7 The original investigation into Epstein was started by the Palm Beach PD when the family of a 14 year old girl came to them and said Epstein had molested her. 1 Quote
