Involve people in decisions that impact them, and, never cause someone to lose face in public.

Re: Yet more (but not unexpected) amateur hour from Trump and his nothing but the best team!

Doesn’t anyone think that Jeffrey Goldberg “spilling the beans”, perhaps to get a big story for the Trump haters, is a national security issue, possibly helping the enemy?

Re: Yet more (but not unexpected) amateur hour from Trump and his nothing but the best team!

I’m assuming that long post was intended to refer to Walz but Waltz was used. Could that be an indication it was written by AI? Read the article and then answer your own question. Your reaction to this the same if it'd been Biden's team who had been the one involved? My signature line is the answer...

I believe Kriegsspiel once wrote that his ancestors did the same.
Maybe he’s Scythian.

I guess the grounds are stuck on there from the natural oils. They didn’t vaccuum well. I should have mentioned that I have to use a small brush (e.g. an old toothbrush) after vacuuming the "bulk dust" to remove the "stuck on dust"; then vacuum again. I also vacuum the discharge...

Why is my coffee burr grinder grinding less and less, meaning I have to run it longer and longer to just to make 20 oz of coffee? I guess it needs maintenance but in the meantime, where are all the grounds going? I have to take off the bean holder and top grinder burr assembly and vacuum out the re...

Re: Europe & United Kingdom

Germany needs its own nukes. WW2 was a long time ago. If they, France, and UK had nukes, it would be more of a deterrent against Putin. Especially if they deploy tactical nukes in tiny, unconventional asymmetric-warfare type of vehicles... air or land or sea remotely piloted land vehicles, etc. 1) ...

Who is more hyperbolic remains to be seen It's not even a contest. One can never be too hyperbolic if you are desc...
