It wasn't an ICBM.
It is stupid. Not as stupid as Putin trying to take over another sovereign nation, though. What a fccking a------ and wackjob.
Not as stupid as sending troops in, getting them stuck in mud, freezing their aasess off, with their dress uniforms for a parade that is already 1000 days past the plan. Not as stupid as being a fake "pacifist that would give anything and everything for the illusion of peace - with no dignity, no respect, no honor, no freedom - just a prison to live in until you die - stark, depressing, gray - a worthless life.

Yay for you.
You be you, boo.

Aw. I wanted to know more about "the sex competition" where Gaetz "created a game where members of the FL House got 'points' for sleeping with aides, interns, lobbyists, and married legislators."

Apparently extra points were awarded if they were married, or for "spending the night in a college sorority house."

He's out. He withdrew.
I'm kind of bummed about it.

81 states Lara?

Oh, and to answer Eberly, I am not saying, nor have I even hinted at the camps the US appears is going to build as being extermination camps. There were tens of thousands of concentration camps and ghettos that the Nazi built and imprisoned people. There were only a handful of extermination camps.

Another side note on Terezin (#39). There is an exhibit in town in the museum where they read from the preserved Nazi log books how many prisoners were loaded into trains, and how many died during transport, and how many made it to the camps - concentration and extermination camps. Thousands died just during transport. Sometimes only a few out of more than a thousand made it. Sometimes none made it.

You're confusing concentration camps with extermination camps. There's a difference. Small but accurate nonetheless.

Exactly. My post, #30, was an answer to Eberly's Nobody is promising to build an actual concentration camp, little girl. a deportation camp is not the same thing comment.

I'm going to chalk this up to Eberly not understanding the history, the precedents, and the ease in which many - not just Germany - slide futher and further into some very evil places. It wasn't long ago we rounded up 117,000 Japanese-American citizens and put them in US internment camps; Manzanar, Topaz Minidoka ,Gila River, Poston, Heart Mountain, Amache, Rohwer, Jerome, Tule Lake.

internment: the state of being confined as a prisoner, especially for political or military reasons.

"The early camps were extrajudicial sites of detention established in Nazi Germany in 1933. Although the system was mostly dismantled by the end of the year, these camps were the precursor of the Nazi concentration camps."

#20 - THIS.

He was always a fraud. An oxygen thief. A WOB. I don't even bother with it anymore.

(That's why I said we have to count on Trump's good graces)

Not so much Trump, Eberly, but SCOTUS recent rulings granting Trump near absolute power. We've never had this in our history.

you can "naw...don't think so" all you want, but it is an undeniable truth - reality doesn't give a shht what you think.

Unfortunately for you more than your side said so. Adios losers.

We're not going anywhere, and you don't make up the majority of this nation. Better you learn that now.

The American people spoke and said so much.

Less than half did.

It's directly related, as symptoms are to a disease.

#61- I appreciate that, Eberly. I just don't think this is equivalent. We're in very different times. Never has SCOTUS granted such power to the President. May this all turn out OK? It may - but we are totally dependent on Trump's good graces for that.

you who watch msnbc.....whatcha think ?

"A Republic if you can keep it."

248 years. RIP.

You live in a pretend world, STD, but reality doesn't give a ---- about your world. You won't escape.

I'm seeing it the same way as you two, TruthHurts and Gal.
And all I can do is SMH and prepare as best I can.

Anyone that's not afraid and was a critic of Trump is a fool.
We are at the rubicon, waiting to see if we are going to cross it.

We have been promised that retribution is coming. Over and over we've heard it.
We've heard they are going to immediately start rounding up those they targeted with their campaign of hate towards immigrants.
We've heard his statements about ending the Constitution, of going after the Press that he considers an enemy, of those that were doing their job to hold him accountable under the law for his illegal actions. The number of threats Trump has made is long.

I take Trump and his followers at their word.

Flashback:

In the early 1930s, the Nazis campaigned in national, state, and local elections in Germany. Their major breakthrough came in September 1930, when they won 18 percent of the vote in the national parliamentary elections. They also did well in state and local elections that year. This shocked some Germans, especially those who recognized that the Nazis were an extremist, fringe political movement.

During election campaigns, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis won followers by playing on people's hopes. The Nazis promised to
* fix the economy and put people back to work;
* return Germany to the status of a great European, and even world, power;
* regain territory Germany had lost in World War I;
* and create a strong authoritarian German government.

But the Nazis also played on people's fears and prejudices. They falsely claimed that Jews and Communists were to blame for all of Germany's problems. The Nazis promised to unite Germans along racial and ethnic lines. The Nazis planned to exclude Jews and others from German society.

Adolf Hitler came to power through Germany's legal political process.

And you hit that on #69, too!

Thank you, Jeff.

Three chemicals are used to fluoridate drinking water in the U.S: sodium fluoride (NaF); sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6); and fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6).

Fluorosilicic acid is a byproduct of the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. It is recovered as a vapor, which ensures a high degree of purity. Both sodium fluoride and sodium fluorosilicate are made from fluorosilicic acid recovered in this manner.

Sodium fluorosilicate is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with caustic soda, itself a water treatment chemical. Sodium fluoride is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with sodium chloride, common salt.

This is how the fluoride that is used to bring fluoride levels up to the desired level (less than or equal to 0.7mg/liter) are created. Through chemistry, resulting in soluble fluoride compounds.

Now you can find all kinds of garbage out there about how the fluorides are somehow different based on the source, for instance those people selling their "natural spring water" and others (profit oriented or health nutcases, or our future cabinet member) but there is no difference in the resulting water.

"(There is) no difference between the fluoride present naturally and the fluoride added as part of a community water fluoridation scheme. In laboratory analysis, the fluoride ions would be indistinguishable from one another, regardless of their origins."
