I only call links opinions when they are opinion articles. You can still copy and paste your responses - just provide the links

I think you have made your opinion known several times. That is not going to change any rule on this forum. Participation is optional, following the rules is not. You are off topic

They did it before there was video.....

Fortunately, you don't get to make that decision. I created a political page on Facebook when Todd Hickman was around. The first thing I ran into was people crying about freedom of speech because we had rules.....like no cursing, no memes and no personal attacks. It was and is still my opinion, if you can't discuss politics or anything topic without using those 3 things, that's a you problem. There is no freedom of anything on a personal page.......just like I can't come to your house and ring your doorbell repeatedly at 3am to protest doorbells.

I disagree - I think it will force people to have discussion's versus just replying with links to other peoples opinion.

I'm not sure why he is stirring up the dust right before mid-terms. My only guess he thinks this might rally his base and get them out for mid-terms. I really thought he would slow down right before mid-terms, but he is actually ramping everything up. And for the record, I think this was a stupid move

The CC spike started years ago and has been climbing steadily and has not stopped under Trump. The big issues with CC debt is when people get behind or start putting groceries on CC's it is easy to max out or live above your means. Then when they realize they are maxed out on all their CC's, They come to me (a bank) and want an unsecured loan at a lower interest rate to pay off their debt. Usually by that time they have been late on their payments lowering their credit score or maxing out the CC's caused them to be over their debt to income percent..... usually meaning we can't offer a loan to them. And something else - Back in the day - if you decided just to not pay a CC balance off, it would hit your credit and the CC company wrote it off as a loss and that was it. In the last few years, CC companies are now getting judgements and garnishing checking accounts, freezing whatever they have in them. That is devastating to someone living paycheck to paycheck. Unfortunately, I have had to have several of those conversations.

I wonder what the deal was?

I know someone who works there....it was BAD - folks had it coming out both ends......I believe El Refu is shut down until........ Some are saying it was delivered night before so it may be Golden Pass who is responsible......either way - can you imagine.....?

My grandfather lived about 25 miles from a gas station out in the country, and he had a gravity fed big tank he would buy gas in bulk. I'm not sure how many gallons, but large enough a gas truck would come out and fill it.

As log as you have computers you will have hacking. What surprises me is there is not a master cut off so you can control the ship manually. I don't understand why you couldn't flick a switch to cut power to wi-fi, internet and computers and old school drive the thing.

It was long overdue. I've been here a minute or two, and I remember this page being about debate and discussion and @tvc184 being a huge part of the discussion. As I typing this, I recalled the youth forum when I joined in 2008 and how bad it would get......this has almost become that, Good Move, maybe we will get back to discussion.

Explain to me like I'm 12 how this is Trumps fault?

President Barack Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev of the Russian Federation exchange gifts Remember this conversation?? Caught on an open mic? President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space. President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you… President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility. President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir. Now the significant difference between your example and mine, is Donald Jr. is not President and has no position in this administration..... and sleepy Joe accepted a gift in 2021

There is also one in Sulphur - but I have not tried it and do not know if it as good
