  1. When did Trump get convicted of rape?
  2. I think the basis of our disagreement is the understanding of our justice system. Before Trump, guilt had to be proved, not innocence........ Would you provide the "law" you keep mentioning concerning the proper way to declassify documents. If it is a law, it should also have punishments listed as well.
  3. The American bar Association disagrees with you...... Most national security legal experts dismissed the former president’s suggestion that he could declassify documents simply by thinking about it. But as an ABA Legal Fact Check posted Oct. 17 explains, legal guidelines support his contention that presidents have broad authority to formally declassify most documents that are not statutorily protected, while they are in office. As the new ABA Legal Fact Check notes, the extent of a president’s legal authority to unilaterally declassify materials — without following formal procedures — has yet to be challenged in court. I am smart enough to research what I talk about [Hidden Content] the U.S. Constitution%2C the,through use of executive orders.
  4. This has yet to be proven. The procedures are not laws, so if not followed how are they crimes? If the constitution gives the President the single power to declassify anything with no instructions, why can't he declassify just by taking them home? Trump will take this all the way to the Supreme Court.......The Supreme Court rules on constitutionality.......
  5. As usual a very productive comment to the benefit of the page Does the personal jabs make up for something missing in your life?
  6. I've been following this guy and he makes a lot of sense. I've noticed journalist don't interview their guest anymore, they debate them, and he is, BY FAR the best debater I have seen in a long time. I think his numbers will increase during the debates if he can get on any. Thoughts? [Hidden Content]
  7. I actually liked him pre-2016. He made some sense. I watched a little of his town hall on CNN (amazing the difference of how he was treated versus Trump, Cooper let him speak)....I agreed with a lot of what he said. His Trump bashing is not going to get him the nomination....He's smart and should know it.
  8. We are a representative democracy, not a mob. The electoral collage was to avoid mob rule and have each state fairly represented. If Presidents won on popular votes, why would they go to small states to campaign when all they had to do was win 3-4 large states? The system is working like it was designed.
  9. His statement about the indictment of Trump just ended his run before it started......No one will win the Republican nomination without Trumps base.....the math just does not work......
  10. Dude, first it's 2016.....Popular vote has no bearing......but if you want to discuss it, He lost the total popular vote by 2.8 million in 2016......but he lost Cali by 4.2 million and New York by 1.8 million. That is why we have the Electoral college, so 1 or 2 states don't decide the President for all 50 states.......What you should pay attention to is Hillary only won 17 states......... Something else odd...in 2020 he gained 2 million votes in Cali versus 2016.....but again, popular vote means nothing....and I'm glad
  11. Yea.....I'm not mad for sure. You think Abbott will have any luck getting property tax lowered?
  12. Sounds like it to me...... I'm still paying the $7.50, except now, no service is provided
  13. If we are being honest, I don't wear my life jacket 100% of the time in either of my boats personally, and I know I should at minimum under way, but anyone under the age of 18 does in my boats. What I find incredibly odd is the life jacket regulations. When you get stopped they ask to see life jackets, sure let me get them, they are under the deck, and the deck is locked, let me get my key, here ya go! Game Warden, thank you......about the same with every safety device. I do keep my life jackets out in case I do need them.
  14. This teen (14 yo) has not been found and the search continues as far as I know. As a Father I cannot imagine what the parents are going through.... For the rest of us, this is a slap in the face reminder to be safe on the water. I was able to drive a 12' boat with a 5.5 Johnson by myself, unsupervised at 10 years old.....but Dad had been training me since I was 5. The most enforced rule was never step in that boat without my life jacket on. If I left it in the boat for some reason, I was wading in the water to get the life jacket out of the boat. He caught me in that boat without a life jacket, I was done for the summer. Train your kids to wear that life jacket at a minimum of when the boat is under power. I hate reading these type post.

  15. She stands for the Anthem now.....lol
  16. RIP Hagar, I really enjoyed reading his post. He will be missed by all.
  17. Just like there was no treason or Russia collusion in the Mueller investigation. What the Durham report proved is Obama and Biden were briefed that Hillary was planning the Russian collusion narrative.....and did nothing to stop it. There is a video of Obama stating he was never briefed in any CIA or FBI investigations.....Then goes on to talk about a hard line separating powers.....so, he lied. Lying is not criminal.... but he was certainly involved in trying to sway an election......you know, the thing Democrats accused Republicans of..... If you care to watch the video of Obama making those statements, it is up on Waters World.
  18. As a person with a concealed carry license it scares the heck out of me I did not know this. Legal to gift, legal to purchase as a private sale, but illegal to buy for a relative or friend( I get it, you actually lie on the application). Makes me wonder what other felonies I could unknowingly commit......
  19. 21 for long rifles that have a detachable magazine.....so semi-auto 12 gauges will still be legal. Here is my thought process. I don't think the act of making someone's first choice illegal will stop them from choice 2 or choice 3 if they are going to commit mass murder. The next shooting where someone uses a couple sawed off 12 gauges in a confined area may change the weapon of choice for multiple shootings. People that commited won't let a law stand in their way. I don't have a answer, I wish I did, I just think these "feel good" laws hurt more than they help.
  20. When I was young the almost weekly visit to Hi/Lo Auto parts with my Dad was always fun. My Dad would bring in a part, and the sales clerk would almost guess what it came off of. I remember bringing in bolts, belts and hoses and the clerk would walk in the back and try and match parts. As I look back, it was simply excellent customer service. The other benefit of going as a kid was to check out the Hot Rods that most of he employees drove to work or possibly worked on during their breaks,,,,,lol Now, The reason for my post. I have an old homemade boat trailer with older style leaf springs. Where they mount to the trailer requires a rubber bushing. It's a very simple bushing....All three auto parts stores had no clue what is was when I put it on the counter. Once I explained it was off a homemade trailer and what is was, one clerk looked me dead in the eyes and asked me for the model and year of my trailer....... So I guess I'm old enough to remember when people that worked in auto parts stores actually knew auto parts. If you are wondering why brick and mortar is a dying sales model, I found everything I needed online with free shipping, I just didn't want to wait the 2 days.......
  21. As TVC stated, I cannot think of a more horrible crime....... Yet, many, and I mean many, on twitter are demonizing Greg Abbott for calling the suspect an "illegal alien"..... SMH
  22. Posting is optional if you don't like the rules. We also allow general calls outs "libtards" and even "magtards".....you went directly to him......just chill with those type remarks and you will be fine......
