I haven't seen any evidence of this and certainly none has been presented here.

I've been married for 42years. Forced abstinence doesn't scare me.

lol +rep

True.

From quora user David Stroud ------- Since Donald J Trump has stiffed so many contractors, why do contractors continue to bid for his contracts? You won’t like this answer. I have many years of experience in managing the large contracts and subcontracts of the type that are often brought up in connection with The Donald. I have also done business in the NewYork/NewJersey/Connecticut “tri-state” area, and this whole world is an unreal den of thieves. General Contractors (like Trump’s organization) hire subcontractors on a “lowest bid” basis, and the subcontractors invariably bid the jobs at a loss. They do this in order to get the job, and their strategy from the beginning is to make themselves whole with claims, some of which are completely bogus and all of which are grossly inflated. Everybody knows this. Claims are typically settled at 40–50c on the dollar, and the subcontractors complain, but in the end they are satisfied. Also, because many subcontractors work on job sites simultaneously, there is always a chance that one contractor will interfere with others - either with a mistake or not - and the general contractor has to compensate the impacted subcontractor because THAT claim is legitimate. They then try to back charge the impacting subcontractor (i.e., deduct the claim from their payment), which leads to complaints that “We didn’t get paid!”

Keep the whines coming , convincing argument btw :up:

Here's another: He's a goddamn real estate billionaire, not every one of his many thousands of contractors is gonna end up happy

Women won't be able to remain abstinent (or "sex strike") for very long. Spreading their legs is generally what provides them with food, clothes, and a roof over their heads

You do realize, don't you, that it's basically impossible to take any complaints about Trump seriously because all the TDS people have cried wolf on this type of shit so many times that their word counts for nothing. "But this time we mean it seriously like omg this is real this time"

Good. If a contractor doesnt do the job properly they deserve to get stiffed.

Thanks. Feeling's mutual.

For what its worth, I'm glad you post here :up:

Imagine how much time and energy you've got invested. I think about that myself sometimes, how much time, treasure and other resources I've invested over the many years. Sometimes I wonder if I'd have been better off investing all that in my friends and loved ones instead. Considering all the good it's done as is.

Beautiful? Absolutely. But the thing that strikes me the most as I watch this is that they all look so very young. I was too back then. I feel old.

Even if the population in America was truly homogenous , secession would still be a huge leap forward in terms of limited government and liberty. I can understand people on this board who are against secession because they don't think it's worth the war, but I don't understand at all the people on this board who still would not choose to secede if it could be done peacefully. Makes zero sense to me.

Secession leads to exactly that kind of population movement. If we wait for the lines to be crystal clear, there will never be lines. Lines only exist when they are drawn in the sand. Then, people will choose, one side, or the other.

People fight wars, not governments. Abstract concepts are not capable of firing weapons.

Expelling them directly probably would not be politically viable. Perhaps we can give them a gentle nudge by passing legislation that makes their life miserable. If that doesn't work we can start building work camps and furnaces and hope they "get the hint"

100,000 posts? 100,000 pieces of evidence

congrats! You win the dubious privilege of posting 100,000 more. While supplies last. But I'd hurry and use them up. With our Marxist Overlords rapidly tightening the nooses around all of our necks, supplies may not last long. But hey, at least they'll provide you with no shortage ot topics to post about until the trapdoor opens.

Wrong again. Ive lived most of my life along that corridor.

Yea that's a pretty inexcusable foreign policy position. I'll give Rand a pass because he's awesome in every other way, but ya, he's way off base on this issue.

Gotta have your priorities straight.

There's only 3 ways this ends: 1) We secede peacefully while we still have time 2) We civil war these fucks while we still have time 3) Each and everyone on this forum will be lined up against a wall and shot (except me, I'll be sipping mojitos on an undisclosed island somewhere)

Say what you want about urban/rural or whatever, Texas as a whole is a very different place than California as a whole. The lines are clear enough for me, and they are only getting clearer as the left becomes more and more extreme. And whether they "let" us leave peacefully or not, I don't give a damn, there's more of us than there are of them.

I agree .

Oh, they'll comply all right, in the only way that actually matters. They'll go into "stealth" mode and stash their non-compliant magazines for "future use" (what's wrong with NOW?). The more creative among them will coat them with cosmoline, vaccuum pack them with a little dessiccant and burry them somewhere "safe." Then they'll pick up some compliant mags and when they go out shooting use those, demonstrating for all to see that thy have, in fact, bent the knee. Then, as will occasionally happen, one of them will be caught with their contraband (turned in by an angry ex, or innocently by a careless child at school) and be prosecuted and sent to prison. The rest will be all like "Hey, didi you hear about poor Bob?", but they'll just continue along their cowardly path, oblivious to the fact that their actions pretty much nullify any utility that general firearms ownership might otherwise provide. And around and around it will go.
