Georgia 6th and South Carolina 5th are both tossups. But looks like the winning margin in SC will be for Rep and will be remarkably smaller than expected.

He'll cut you. All while the anesthesiologist was advocating putting something like Dan Fogelberg on the stereo. The room shouted NO.

 

Help me get up to speed here: Justine is your wife, right? And you were in the room when they were operating on her? Was this a C-section or something? 

And you didn't paint her toes green?     {#Think}

I played for a while in a great all-doc band called Total Hip. BEST doc band name ever.
But my synth had a wireless connector, so I would sit at the back of the hall and play from there, with sound coming from my Fender on stage, watching the band. People would walk by and try to talk to me while I was soloing.

 
I would have thought Titanium Hip, but, oh I get it now, you can resurrect the band as Total Hip Replacement.

I need something similar: Chart showing odds of getting involved in contentious discussions in various forums on a scale of 0-1, with 0 being talking sweet corn with p4jkafla, to 1 being, talking libertarianism or Austrian economics with Lazy8. Or talking Pie with Proclivities.

The whole Syria situation is getting out of control quickly. Russia is pissed because we shot down a plane that was flown by a regime they support who was targeting rebels that we backed because they were fighting Isis forces (who Iraqn just launched a missile toward....)  

The only reason we haven't seen those words is the surrounding text would be more than 140 characters.

Nah, I just went through the motions.  He's currently thinking that based upon the content of my last several posts, I must be batshit crazy enough that if he nudges me enough in the right way, he'll get me to go off the rails far enough to get me DD'.  Instead, its just something I have to scrape of my shoes now and then.  I'm currently the most lucid I've been in a long, long time.

The real issues being him being a Russian agent ?  As long as that is front and center, there isn't anything else to talk about.  It means that the effort to have him removed from office is steadfast and ongoing and everything centers on that goal.  And all the arguments against Trump are built upon that argument.  The other argument builder is how his temporary travel ban has been stopped.  That one will fall apart as soon as it gets to the SCOTUS and Trump will be upheld.  All's that's left is the Russian thing after that is gone.  And that is all that there is going to be for the next 4 years or until he is removed from office, which ever comes first.  Those fighting will never stop or accept Trump as the legitimately elected POTUS.  It's institutionalized political corruption's last stand.

Mueller and Comey are best buds.  Most of the attorneys Mueller has hired are Clinton ops or donors.  Like Trump said, the person who made the formal recommendation to fire Comey is investigating me for actually firing him.  This is the theatre of the absurd.  The way the media works, if it weren't for Twitter, Trump would have no unfiltered voice at all to defend himself, period.  All of his words would be subject to editing and manipulation, to work against him.

I've lived through three assassinations.  I remember what I was doing when JFK and RFK were killed.  Most people slept through RFK's and found out about it in the morning cuz it happened on the West Coast in LA.  I honestly don't remember anymore what I was doing when MLK was shot.  I do remember the Watt's Riot very well.  As young as I was, it touched me personally as my folks were down there house hunting in the OC staying at my Grandma's house on Redondo Blvd in Long Beach.  They were trapped there because LAX was closed as people where shooting at the airliners.  Six blocks from my Grandma's house, they were filling six packs of Coke bottles at the gas station to make Molotov Cocktails.  Most people alive now weren't around when this stuff happened and it has no impact on their lives or even enters their thinking.  It's part of my thinking though.

I was given the role here of trying to explain Trump from a supporter's point of view and accepted it knowing what would come with it.  I've been here long enough to know.  No matter, I gave it a shot and it worked sorta well imo until it was looking like he might actually win ;).   So with the shrinking time I have left on this planet, I'm just trying to cut through the crap and call it as I see it and move on.  Make no mistake, I meant everything I said below about the risk of a revolution.  It was from the heart.  Was just putting it out there as a reflection of how I see things happening.  Wasn't a wish or a hope, just an observation.  This country is going nutz and truly on the brink.  This is the last stand for a whole lot of people.  

No sour grapes, just ain't gonna be the Trump punching bag anymore.  Takes up too much space in my head for a lost cause.   I have other plans for my remaining time.  Its back to music full tilt.  I'm actually doing what I hoped I would be doing at this point in my life.  Playing and playing with the music and enjoying it.  It gives me purpose, direction and something to focus on while I do all the medical things I'm gonna have to do.  Cancer all by itself has been found to actually alter peoples thinking, so with the chemicals and poisons and potential radiation, its only going to go downhill.  Doing the mechanical work and mental things it takes to make glasses kept me thinking the last time around.  Now sound engineering will fill that role.

Just to let you and most other's know, the bulk of the past discourse with y'all has been pleasant and civil given the subject.  I even actually respect Schlabby even though I couldn't disagree more with anyone.  I respect his passion and commitment.  We do have that in common.  And with all the doc's I know, you are the most rocking one I have even known and I know a lot.  Most are either gung ho classical or oblivious when it comes to the music we enjoy.  When I go into OR's, its so routine I make it a point to see what kind of sound system is in it and what they're gonna listen to while they're slicing and dicing me.  I guess that means I've had a boat load of anesthesia as well, too.  I even it spelled it correctly without help :)  I've been fooling around with the Dan and recently did King Of The World from vinyl.  Came out pretty good imho.  I'll put it up in the Quiet Vinyl thread later this week.

Eh wot ?  {#Wink}

 
Sorry to hear about your medical situation and I only wish you the best.

I have been on this earth a while myself (not quite as long as you) but I just don't agree that any bleak revolution is on the horizon. Revolution can mean many things but it does appear that you are indicating it will result in increased acts of violence and lawlessness as a response to people feeling Trump isn't being treated fairly -or- that Trump is hurting America and he (and/or his party need to be stopped). Is this part of "the brink" that you are alluding to? If not, then I'm sorry I am unclear about it. 

No doubt, tensions are running high these days. I believe that there will always be fringe elements that feel they need to take the law into their own hands and (in their own twisted minds) justify whatever drastic course of action they choose to take. These people are dangerous, disturbed and not in touch with reality. They have been around in the past and will always be around. Some of them affiliated with groups... some loners.  Should law enforcement keep an eye on groups that these people have been affiliated with... it would be stupid and silly not to.

Maybe I'm more of an optimist, but I don't believe that there are vast amounts of these types of people waiting in the wings to take out politicians or government officials as part of any revolution. That's why I can't/won't buy into the "doom" that I take away from your posts. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do whatever is necessary to protect our politicians but past history (pre-Trump) has already proved that we need to do that anyway.

I think that's a good news/bad news story.

If you would review your RP rules for world domination, you would see that article 14, section 21 states that "When seeking to make an All Seeing Statement Holding All Truths (ASSHAT), notice of such ASSHATery must be sent via PM to all members with rank of Comrade or higher not less than 24 hours prior to such an ASSHAT posting. Once the ASSHAT has been posted, it must remain in place unrebutted for not less than 48 hours (72 hours in leap years) before becoming an accepted truth. Failure to comply with these standards will render the statement to be One's Own Opinion, Privately Sequestered (OOOPS)."

No sour grapes, just ain't gonna be the Trump punching bag anymore.  Takes up too much space in my head for a lost cause.   I have other plans for my remaining time.  Its back to music full tilt.  I'm actually doing what I hoped I would be doing at this point in my life.  Playing and playing with the music and enjoying it.  It gives me purpose, direction and something to focus on while I do all the medical things I'm gonna have to do.  Cancer all by itself has been found to actually alter peoples thinking, so with the chemicals and poisons and potential radiation, its only going to go downhill.  Doing the mechanical work and mental things it takes to make glasses kept me thinking the last time around.  Now sound engineering will fill that role.

Just to let you and most other's know, the bulk of the past discourse with y'all has been pleasant and civil given the subject.  I even actually respect Schlabby even though I couldn't disagree more with anyone.  I respect his passion and commitment.  We do have that in common.  And with all the doc's I know, you are the most rocking one I have even known and I know a lot.  Most are either gung ho classical or oblivious when it comes to the music we enjoy.  When I go into OR's, its so routine I make it a point to see what kind of sound system is in it and what they're gonna listen to while they're slicing and dicing me.  I guess that means I've had a boat load of anesthesia as well, too.  I even it spelled it correctly without help :)  I've been fooling around with the Dan and recently did King Of The World from vinyl.  Came out pretty good imho.  I'll put it up in the Quiet Vinyl thread later this week.

Eh wot ?  {#Wink}

 
Seriously, go work on your personal health. Life is indeed too short for this. I honestly hope you get better, and I honestly hope you find some peace.

This has sat out in the open for 24 hours.  You realize what you state above and have no second thoughts about it.  A nice accomplishment to stop this thread in its tracks for 24 hours.

There has been no rebuttal to your post so it is safe to conclude that you are in fact the sole judge, jury and executioner for rational thought here at RP and speak for everyone.  Everything posted by everyone else in this thread is indeed rational and meets your approval.

I just wanted to immortalize your post so you couldn't delete it or modify it later.  Speaks volumes regarding the current state of political discourse we have.

May I suggest your new avatar ?


 
If you would review your RP rules for world domination, you would see that article 14, section 21 states that "When seeking to make an All Seeing Statement Holding All Truths (ASSHAT), notice of such ASSHATery must be sent via PM to all members with rank of Comrade or higher not less than 24 hours prior to such an ASSHAT posting. Once the ASSHAT has been posted, it must remain in place unrebutted for not less than 48 hours (72 hours in leap years) before becoming an accepted truth. Failure to comply with these standards will render the statement to be One's Own Opinion, Privately Sequestered (OOOPS)."

You bit at the personal attack, when it's not really the topic.

What about the real issues that were brought up earlier? The state of the GOP, the nature of the President and his relationship to all Americans - not just the minority that supports him. How has he made the country great again, when multiple foreign leaders openly mock him?

 
Nah, I just went through the motions.  He's currently thinking that based upon the content of my last several posts, I must be batshit crazy enough that if he nudges me enough in the right way, he'll get me to go off the rails far enough to get me DD'.  Instead, its just something I have to scrape off my shoes now and then.  I'm currently the most lucid I've been in a long, long time.

The real issues being him being a Russian agent ?  As long as that is front and center, there isn't anything else to talk about.  It means that the effort to have him removed from office is steadfast and ongoing and everything centers on that goal.  And all the arguments against Trump are built upon that argument.  The other argument builder is how his temporary travel ban has been stopped.  That one will fall apart as soon as it gets to the SCOTUS and Trump will be upheld.  All's that's left is the Russian thing after that is gone.  And that is all that there is going to be for the next 4 years or until he is removed from office, which ever comes first.  Those fighting will never stop or accept Trump as the legitimately elected POTUS.  It's institutionalized political corruption's last stand.

Mueller and Comey are best buds.  Most of the attorneys Mueller has hired are Clinton ops or donors.  Like Trump said, the person who made the formal recommendation to fire Comey is investigating me for actually firing him.  This is the theatre of the absurd.  The way the media works, if it weren't for Twitter, Trump would have no unfiltered voice at all to defend himself, period.  All of his words would be subject to editing and manipulation, to work against him.
