But Iran and Iraq didn't have nukes - Israel does, it's been said about all my life.
At least one of those countries had the means to deliver and the possession of a biological WMD - remember the Scud attacks on Israel in 1991?[shrugs] I remember - and if stuff like that was reliable, effective and not-so-prone to bite the perpetrator on the butt, they could have been doing it since Victorian times...
I've been on Medicaid for about a year-and-a-half.
Yeah; I'm pretty sure I'm screwed in the coming months -probably before my next appointment in five months- and will have to go back to the charity I'd used since I got back to America. -It's a badly-run operation, frankly, but not that much difference in quality of care, just more bureaucratic overhead/disrespectful waste-of-my-time.
You know, this is a thing where Pig and the T-party directly hurt me, if it turns out that way - and I have to pray they don't undermine my fall-back medical charity, too, which does depend on gov'ment subsidies, partly.
A few words on Biden's Brain are in order.
That crap goes back 13 years or so ago, during his first successful run for President - I said on these boards at the time that he held up his end of a debate with Bernie Sanders -another man already inarguably too old even back then, but one no one has ever accused of senility- without getting humiliated. I ain't senile, but I doubt I could hang with Bernie in a debate. Case closed on a mountain of loose talk everywhere at the time. People's lack of memory in politics makes my brain want to explode - it just wasn't true, and it was, indeed, everywhere.
So maybe I'm just having observer bias on what went down last year - I'll never believe that boy after he Cried Wolf that time. But Nancy Pelosi and that Barely Democrats crowd behind the turmoil and pushing Joe out have proven themselves collaborators and Political Idiots a million times over for about 24 years straight. It's way past time for what's left of them to retire, joining Joe and Bakrama and the Clintons, especially Mrs. Pelosi. I simply never saw the evidence that Joe was out of it, more, an old man who had some days better than others, as one does. ;nod
Now, Cousin 'Mala -Harris is my maternal family name, and "Claimin' Kin" is a 'Southern' thing- and what she maybe did wrong is a whole 'nother subject. I was frequently like Fritz Mondale in 1988, asking "Where's the Beef?"...
for somewhat loudly preferring Star Trek to all things misusing the name since Wrath of Khan. WAY more. I don't participate much in my own damn Star Trek thread in my own damn forum any more, what with all the impostor shows under discussion. It's not a funny punchline.Star Trek... people can get wound up about it. I seem to remember some forum debate I had with someone about Star Wars, quite awhile ago, which pretty much stopped me from participating further in the Rec Commons. Think it was Star Wars. I'm much more of a Trekkie than whatever people call Star Warsers. And I'm a nominal Whovian. But I'm sure I've watched A New Hope the requisite 50 times in my life or something, before that was trivially easy to do. I still quote lines occasionally, but I'm in danger of getting them slightly wrong. I see the world slightly through that lens, as geeks of my age typically would.
