Re: My prediction for the presidential debates

I am absolutely thrilled that the bar has been set so low for Biden in this debate. It'll be fun for me to watch him blow expectations (and Trump's chances of re-election) right out of the water.

Re: POTUS supporters and voter intimidation

Signs and persons at polling places are kept 100 feet from the entrance, if the snowflakes going to vote can’t handle this “pressure” then maybe they should re examine their lives and not leave their homes. Polling places in my town have had persons on and off over the years holding signs, etc, and...

Re: Possibility of second Civil War in US and State Borders

I don't see a civil war breaking out but I'm not sure I see any real downside allowing block of states on either side of the divide decide to leave the union peacefully and form their own country. We could do things at a strategic level such as free trade and open borders like the EU but allow stat...

Re: POTUS Doesn’t Commit to Peaceful Transition of Power

This is legally a non-story, a key example of fake news. The US President has no influence on whether power should be transferred to a president-elect. I urge people to seek reputable facts, not listen to disinformation like this. Do not allow your level of ignorance to increase. . Exactly, Trump i...

POTUS supporters and voter intimidation

I found this very interesting: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/trump-supporters-disrupt-early-voting-in-virginia/ As early voting has started and election day gets closer, it's important to remember that no one has the right to intimidate you away form voting. If you get to a polling place...

Re: Possibility of second Civil War in US and State Borders

I think the civil war will happen because those who want MAGA forever will be in the tiny minority with all their guns and violence and demand everyone bow to their will. The tyranny of the minority but way worse than we have now. I would rather see MAGA form their own country. The old South. They ...

Re: POTUS Doesn’t Commit to Peaceful Transition of Power

That is incorrect. If the election results are not certified by 35 days after the election, and dragged out because of Trump's claims of voter fraud, it is possible for states with republican-led legislators to send electoral voters chosen by the president or the Republican party to certify the res...

Re: Possibility of second Civil War in US and State Borders

A civil war against who? We are divided by political ideology, not by geographic locations or jobs. This is the other thing. A Civil War isn't even a remote possibility, but even if it were, between who? Blue States and Red States? Yeah... good luck with that. It would be between right wingers and ...

Re: POTUS Doesn’t Commit to Peaceful Transition of Power

The Supreme Court decides, doesn't it ? Strangely a left-wing justice just died. Strangely 17 GOP senators are ready to get back on their earlier promise and replace her with a right-wing nutjob before the election. All coincidence ? No, it doesn't decide, unless there is an electoral tie of some k...

Re: Possibility of second Civil War in US and State Borders

I believe we are in something of a "cold civil war" right now. Both sides vehemently hate each other, draw weapons on each other at protests, and recently, have begun killing each other. The flames are fanned on by POTUS who sees the unrest as working to his electoral advantage. Here in my...

Re: POTUS Doesn’t Commit to Peaceful Transition of Power

Why am I not surprised that the reaction from Trump supporters on this site is "fake news" and "but Hillary". You have a president of the United States actively saying "throw out the votes, there won't be a transition of power". You have a guy who has undermined our Dem...

Re: POTUS Doesn’t Commit to Peaceful Transition of Power

Chalking this up to his usual NY-style blustering. I sincerely do not believe he is intelligent enough to orchestrate some brilliant coup to stay in office.

Re: Nightmare Election Night Scenario - The Red Mirage

Given the shenanigans from DeJoy at the USPS, I personally don't plan on voting absentee because I want to watch my ballot be accepted with my own two eyes. For that reason I'm donning a mask (Yes, they are effective) and going to the voting booth for early voting on the first day it opens in my sta...

Re: SLC Terminal Construction Updates

I'll be staying a couple days to take final pictures of T1 and T2, as well as the D gates while I can. It's surreal to see the end of the old airport, considering that's where I first fell in love with aviation back in the early 90s, watching planes take off and land from the great vantage points of...

Re: United Airlines "Evolution" to Globe Livery released

Kind of fits the Lufthansa trend....doesn't radically change the branding but reduces everything down to a 2-color scheme. Certainly not the worst UA livery, which is awarded to the post-gray but pre-merger "shades of blue" mess. It's funny you say that, I think the Rising Blue livery was...

Re: United Airlines "Evolution" to Globe Livery released

For the most part I like it... Though there seems to be something "missing" and I think I know exactly what that is.. Take the dark blue wavey cheatline and add another light blue, wavey cheatline just above it to make it two-tone. Perhaps widen it slightly. That.. would change everything....

Re: Trump 2020 reelection chances

Apparently it's now dropped 5 points. His approval is now tied for the lowest point of his presidency. Remember how our "minds are going to be blown" when he wins re-election? Yeah. I'll be remembering that quote on election night when he goes down in flames. And thank God for that. https:...

Re: Oregon Aviation Thread - 2019

Sun Country has announced LAS-RDM...wowza! Twice per week starting in late summer. I'm excited about this, although it does strongly suggest that any plans G4 had of entering RDM are now on hold, at best. That's a shame for me personally as I'd been coaxing them for months to give this route a seco...

Re: Sun Country Announces 6 New Routes

There was rumor Allegiant was looking at re-adding that route. They were, but.... I don't think we will see G4 re-enter RDM now with the addition of SY. I had sent them a few letters urging them to jump on the expanding RDM market before someone else did first. Well, someone else did first! :spin:

Trump should be more concerned about being near hydroxilic acid. Pretty much everyone that has ever developed cancer had been in contact with it. The worst thing about it?
