I can’t wait. Start a new thread on what I said after 2012.
If I don’t hear from you in a few days on this subject, I’ll PM you and remind you in this thread about the research you promised.
I have to keep repeating myself but OK. I am not talking about the recounts. I should have emphasized that in the OP but I did make it clear in a subsequent post. I am specifically referring to those Democrats who are challenging the result in federal court and those Democrats who are harassing the Electors. These have nothing to do with the Greens.
Have we fallen so far as a nation that we can’t make a phone? We used to put men on the moon you know.
What is the “Asian” mindset?
He claimed that he was going to win so much that we would sick of all the winning.
He fulfilled this promise on election night.
I think you’re failing to take into account the amplifying nature of social media. Harassment campaigns are incredibly easy to whip up, and if you think this is mostly liberals harassing innocent conservatives, you haven’t been paying attention, have you?
If you’re talking about court challenges, maybe you could be more specific? Like, which court challenges are frivolous, and who exactly is behind them? “Democrats”, I guess.
Do the actions of one person who holds a particular political viewpoint reflect badly on each and every other person who also shares that one particular political viewpoint? Hitler was a vegetarian, right?
If you want to blame “Democrats” for one high-strung college sophomore’s social media meltdown, then would it be fair to blame Republicans as a group for the actions of any alt-right nutjob who shoots up a church or screams Heil Trump? I don’t think you’d accept that one guy giving a Nazi salute to Donald Trump reflects on you personally, would you? Or is that one guy just doing openly what all you conservatives are thinking secretly?
Maybe something like this? SoftBank’s CEO shows how corporations can manipulate Trump.
All you have to do is kiss Trump’s ass, and he’ll hand you the keys to the store. Hope you like asian-style crony capitalism, because that’s the new game in town.
Obviously, Trump’s Hairpiece Cheeto style is stronger than their Drunken Monkey style.
Yes. I’ll Google it for you.
I Googled “Asian mindset” and…About 822,000 results (0.38 seconds).
I’m sure one will explain it if you really want to know.
I’m afraid you’ve missed the point entirely. The (admittedly nitpicky) claim that I challenged wasn’t about anti-space weapons, it was regarding “offensive space-based capabilities”. Space-based means “based in space”. Something like “Rods from God”, or a satellite orbiting Earth with some nuclear missiles onboard, or a Death Star. China has none of those things. A missile that sits in an armory in China until it is to be used to destroy our GPS satellites is not “space-based”. It’s based here on Earth, in China (or perhaps their half-assed carrier or a sub). It’s not a “space-based” weapon.
And he promised to lock her up for unwittingly jeopardizing US secrets. Instead of locking her up, what does he do? He adds Gen. Petraeus to his list for SoS, even though the good General WILLINGLY gave away state secrets. Yes, Trump is as smart as a bag of wet mice.
Unfortunately Morganstern quoted the wrong section of the story, but if you clicked the first link:
So it seems plausible that your contention that China has no space-based anti-satellite weapons may not be correct, though it is not certain that you are incorrect, either.
Didn’t miss it at all
Satellites are pretty much based in space. That’s sort of what their purpose is. Orbit the planet, wait to be called to serve, in space. They already proved their capability about 8 years ago when they used one to destroy one of their own satellites. They call them killer-satellites because, well, they kill other satellites. Do they have some on the ground waiting for launch? I wouldn’t doubt that.
Here’s what CNN says about it.
Offensive? Absolutely. They are designed to destroy US, or our allies assets. Communication, navigation, spy satellites, etc. That’s why they are there.
My point is the real winner in all this is the one who, through diplomacy, AVOIDS conflict, whether physical or verbal. Don’t piss off our neighbors, we have nothing to gain by it. Period.
You’re both wrong and it is certain (at least, as certain as we can be about this thing). If you guys would quit trying to cite a fairly half-assed BreakingDefense article and go directly to the source material, the actual Pentagon report (PDF link here), you’d read this about the third test:
There are, as far as we know, no Chinese weapons lurking out there in space, just waiting to be activated.
BTW, “… re-entered Earth orbit 9.5 hours after launch” is almost certainly a typo, given the context, and should probably be read as “… re-entered Earth atmosphere 9.5 hours after launch”
Those people harassing Electors are obviously false flag operations. Or he’s lying. Where are the emails?
No. It was a hashtag used by liberals complaining about the refusal of the Senate to confirm Garland. The long-form version would be something like “eight Supreme Court justices is not enough, the Supreme Court needs nine justices to do their job properly. Confirm Garland!” Here is an example.
At least you are putting some caveats in your statements now - “as far as you know,” etc. How sure are you about the peaceful intentions of Aolong-1? Like on a scale of one to ten.
My 7 year old grandson often demands ice cream for dinner claiming he’s old enough to make decisions for himself. Sometimes adults have to step in and do the right thing.
I gave up on discussing it with him when it was clear he didn’t understand how a object in a very high geosynchronous orbit could return to Earth orbit. He claimed it was a misprint.
