[/QUOTE]Laughing so hard I can't stand it!
[QUOTE=Cincyfunguy;5157889]This about sums it up. Everyone think's they're right and no one thinks they're wrong. No one is convincing the other of anything.[/QUOTE]One side IS right, and the other side is deluded. And the deluded side is stupid, ignorant, obtuse, close-minded, and brain dead.
Because there are simple truths here that cannot be debated, because they are ironclad.
Yes, Trump really DID:
Grab women by the pussy and brag about it, accept Russian assistance in an election, side with Russia over his own country, give classified info to Russian ambassadors IN the Oval Office, claim that anti-Semitic racists in Charlottesville were good people, extort a foreign leader for anything damaging on an opponent, withhold information from the public about a burgeoning pandemic, want to experiment with injecting disinfectant to stop a virus, try to strong arm election officials to concoct enough extra ballots for him to win, and personally incite an insurrection on his own country and his own Vice President.
Yes, these things happened and no amount of "arguing or debating" can change these facts. They are what they are. People on the other "side" of these acts are wrong. They don't have a different "opinion", they are wrong.
WRONG.
So enough of the both sides stuff. The truth is one side. Sorry your stubbornness prevents you from thinking skills you should have learned in junior high.

Right and wrong are values and in most cases opinion / belief. Abortion comes to mind. Calling things facts the are opinion is in vogue right now and probably worse on the liberal side. I don't care for either side and won't participate further in the discussion. I am in agreement with HB though that you are expressing opinions. Delusion might be defined as an inability to distinguish between fact and opinion.

Another.
Fact is you lost your vote. Ohio went red very early. Makes you a minority in Ohio.

Actually, I was a rocket scientist, sorta, LOL. That is why I chose my handle, RocketGuy48.
What are your accomplishments?
A year after graduating with my BSEE, I was assigned to the department, in my company, that provided systems to fly on Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) surveillance satellites. These were Black Programs. Need-To-Know only, more secret than Top Secret, and managed by the then, "nonexistent", NRO. In mid 1974, I was promoted to be the Project Engineer for the slave portion of the distributed telemetry systems on the Gambit 3, KH8, satellite. The Gambit 3 was the smaller brother to the Hexagon, KH9, aka Big Bird, system. These are, along with an earlier version of the Gambit 3, the Gambit 1, on display at the National Museum of the USA Air Force in Dayton. After the declassification of these programs in 2012, these three vehicles were made available for public display. I worked as the Project Engineer and Principal Designer on the program from the conceptual design stage through to the production stage, over four years. I think we had shipped half a dozen production ship-sets by the time I left my job to attend the Univ of Michigan in Ann Arbor for graduate studies in Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering.
After Gary Powers, in his U2, was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960, the NRO pursued satellite surveillance systems, as their primary source of photographic intelligence, to follow Soviet activities. They were designed around super sophisticated photographic systems that could provide pictures of amazing detail at a perigee of roughly 80 miles. And I'll tell you that the pictures you see published online from all sources dating from back then to now are not as refined as what I personally witnesed in the mid 70's. As an interesting side note, the payload bay of the Space Shuttle System (STS) was designed to accommodate the Hexagon. It weighs 30,000 lbs and is approximately 60 ft in length. That capability was never used but the mirror systems from the Hexagon were later used to resolve some of the imaging problems experienced with the Hubble Space Telescope System. And, even more interesting, to me at least, and something you won't read about elsewhere, is that an earlier Block Gambit 3 satellite was in orbit when Skylab was launched in 1973. Skylab was built, partially, using a modified SIVB stage of the Saturn V rocket, the vehicle used for the Apollo lunar missions. The SIVB stage was the third stage of the Saturn V. During launch, a part of the SIVB stage was damaged and the mission was in danger of being scrapped. The Gambit 3, in orbit, took the necessary photos so the necessary custom tools, and other items, could be fabricated. The astronauts practiced the repairs in the neutral buoyancy tank at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. A Gemini 2 mission made the repairs and several joint US-USSR missions followed. This info about using a Gambit 3 for diagnosing the damage to the Skylab was never disclosed because the program didn't officially exist at that time.
So, tell me, BengalMan. What are your accomplishments? What's your work history. BengalMan-let's see-maybe a member of the janitorial staff at the Bengals stadium. A cheerleader. I am curious. Share, please.
For those who are interested in this bit of American history, I have provided a few links below.

Gambit 3 KH-8 is one of three formerly classified reconnaissance satellites on display in the Space Gallery at the National Museum of the USA Air Force.

And now you're posting all your accomplishments on a hooker board. You've sure come a long way, buddy! Keep up the good work!
BTW, you aren't the only one that's had a Top Secret SCI clearance. So what?
Been away for awhile, what happened in here? Thought this was a forum about finding hookers and reporting back about them. What did I miss?
Golfguy, playing through.

[/QUOTE]I congratulate you on your scholarly accomplishments.
It means that you actually DO have the capacity to understand the difference between lies and truths. I suggest you start doing so.
I truly do look forward to getting my party back. I was in the Young Republicans in college and held to ideals of character and personal responsibility and accountability. Now? Are you kidding me? Republicans have shown pathetic character and accept no responsibility, let alone hold their fellow politicians accountable. Instead, let's just make up lies. The bigger the lie the bigger the following. That's not my party.
Also, back in the day we republicans were consistently more intelligent and reasonable about generally everything than the Democrats. That is long gone.

I finally replied to you, sorry I've been reading from my phone and rarely logging in so I didn't see your message. Hope my reply was timely and helpful. Would love to know how it turns out.
