Exactly, we were constantly threatened of the repercussions. And usually we were only fed our little portion of a job.

I’m hearing the photos that are related to Biden’s mess are damning and will be leaked soon.

An E2 on a boomer was an idiot and took a selfie, forgetting that the nuclear power system was in the background of the photo. Completely stupid, no malicious intent, dumb 20 year old kid kinda stuff. I think he did 5 years?

He got a year, but yes, he was convicted.

Want to make a wager whether Trump's trove contains SCI documents as well?

The political spin on all of this on both sides will be something to watch.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Rook, you are correct. And there was nothing earthshaking in the photos. More was shown in the hunt for the red October movie then he had in those photos.

Wouldn’t it be nice if both sides, agreed to trade in our candidates for a new version

I think many underestimate how ruthless survival will be in such an event.

Yeah, I've got a generator that will run the whole house, even the A/C, but what happens when the propane runs out? I've got a 1000 gallon tank but that won't last more than a year, at best. Would definitely have to use a lot of wood in the fireplace to supplement and save propane for longer than a year. I'm going to look for a pickup without a circuit board. I used to have a 1972 GMC 4x4 pickup but sold it back in the mid 1990s. It was all fixed up and restored. Stupid that I sold it. Always have lots of meat in the freezer and can always go hunt right out my door. I don't have a garden, however. Makes you wonder. Biden is already turning us into a 3rd world country with all the illegals. Theft and crime is going through the roof. Car thefts are crazy right now. Most illegals come here with nothing and we Americans are soft targets.

Didn't Trump's trove have an inventory list with it? I thought I read that one of the docs was a proposal for a strike on Iran that Trump brandished to reporters at Mar a Lago?

Reuters says: "The documents, according to the indictment, included details about U.S. nuclear weapons, spy satellites and the U.S. military. They were produced by the Pentagon and arms of the U.S. intelligence community, including the CIA, the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office and other agencies"

Bet your generator has a circuit board. Like yours, mine (30KW) runs the whole place, but it would not survive an EMP hit.

...

If Facebook, Twitter, and Google have already shown a tendency toward wide-scale monitoring of speech and the use of subtle levers to apply pressure on attitudes, financial companies can use records of transactions to penetrate individual behaviors far more deeply. ...

This is nothing new. In 2014 I got a phone call from Discover. The lady at the other end was nice but wanted to know why majority of my transactions were firearms training, firearms and ammo. I explained that I was a hunter and a competitive shooter. She asked if that was going to continue, and I said "Yes".

A few days later I got a letter from Discover cancelling my account for "business reasons".

Didn't think of that. Well crap, we are screwed.

There is a Youtube video that shows a guy wrapping his generator in some sort of EMP proof blanket. I don't know how effective it is, or how much that stuff costs?

I need to dig into this. I have a 30KW with serious cabling running off of it (think something the size of a pickup bed). Curious where and how to tie that little bugger into it, and how it could possibly shield it. Also, building a cage would be quite an industrial project.

In recent memory, Hillary Clinton, Mike Pence, Joe Biden and Donald Trump have had classified documents and only 1, Trump was ever President when it happened which MAY justify him having them depending on the lawyer you listen to. How is it Trump is the only one facing charges? How can any sensible thinking person think this is okay? My opinion is they all should face consequences but Trump will be the only one depending on how the trial turns out.
I realize Biden is POTUS now but the documents were mostly from when he was senator and VP.

A very well grounded metal box, cage or building will protect objects also. As long as unprotected wires or plumbing are not entering the cage.

I contacted them. Thanks for the info.

For some of us, medication is a big issue. All the prepping in the world would be moot if I don't have my med's. Not unless there was a pharmacy that I could rob with stock on hand....lol.
My Doctor will only prescribe 1 years worth of Meds at a time. So stocking up would be difficult, as the shelf life is approx 24 months.

The Tucson pima county DA and Sheriff are lefties, and about as useful as the proverbial screen door in a submarine.

Yes, having the meds one needs is critical. My wife has a couple RXs that she needs and typically has only a 30 day supply. I don't know the answer to that conundrum?

Is it possible that the Hur report could completely upend the 2024 election? As I understand it one of the main findings is that President Biden could not be successfully prosecuted effectively because of a lack mental competence. If that is so, should not the provisions of the 25th amendment section 4 come into play?

While Republicans would welcome such a move, it would also provide a way out for Democrat Party bosses saddled with an unpopular incumbent President and an even more unpopular VP. Maybe this gives them a nice clean way to bring in a new candidate?

The Republicans are so fundamentally split that whoever is nominated as candidate will only get the votes from their own faction, then it's almost certain that the next President will be a Democrat. The only question is who.

I guarantee you the phones and backroom conversations are boiling over in democrat land as we discuss this. Biden's quotes within the actual Hur document are staggering as well. I had assumed they would wait until August to crown a successor, but now I am not sure.
