Re: Trump Will Have A Hard Time Making The Economy "Greater"

Hmmm...... I'm confused. This post seems almost celebratory...... Am I reading here that to justify the dislike for Donald Trump, failure is wished / expected on all these matters in order to justify said dislike? Since the article refers to longstanding problems, are we to draw that somehow the OTH...

Re: The "personality" of radio stations

.....I'm guessing it is the stupid "Smart" meter Consumers sneaked onto the side of our house while we were over in Hopkins for the summer......... I'm not an expert in the area, but I did interview two different techs with Consumers regarding my smart meter. They were on scene at different times, ...

Re: "This is purely a public safety issue."

Re: Your opinion, please

As regular posters already know, I wasn't a fan of President Trump during the election cycle. I still find him a bit boorish, but that may be what regular folks find attractive about him. I will say this though. I know, for certain, President Trump loves and respects this country, what it stands fo...

Re: So Just How Big Was Trumps Inaugural Crowd?

So, has the losing side become SO desperate that this is, right or wrong, some sort of issue? What's next? Underarm wetness between Hillary and Donald? Foot odor? I hearken back to the "get over it" cries of the Obama supporters in 08 and 12 when there was minor grumbling by the opposition. Now ther...

Slow board performance??

Hi, I've noticed of late, perhaps the last couple of months, what appears to be slower performance of the server handling this message system. When a message is submitted, either in the preview mode or the 'submit' mode, there seems to be much longer delay in accepting the submission. I don't see th...

Re: Your opinion, please

The actions of the people reacting negatively to Trump are almost all the result of media embellishment, selective reporting, puffing and gamesmanship on the part of the candidates, and (largely) a misunderstanding of how our political, military, and legislative systems actually work. Very, very lit...

Re: "This is purely a public safety issue."

With all deference to the Harvard Law School consultants here on the Buzzboard, the law is clear: http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-257-676 Municipalities with police departments unilaterally adopt the Michigan Vehicle Code, from whence this is drawn, as their vehicle law basis. Then, they add ...

Re: "This is purely a public safety issue."

It's the LAW.....a state motor vehicle law. Crybabies everywhere would be whining and demanding the head of the cop who didn't enforce the law if the car was stolen and used in another crime. People constantly complain if they get a speeding ticket in their own subdivision, while at another time dec...

Re: Dramatic Failure Of Leftism / Socialism in South America

It's interesting that you label it 'Leftism / Socialism'...... .....here in the US, the terms have become essentially interchangeable. It's illustrated by the desire of some to have the government 'handle everything', as poorly as its track record is in doing so, mixed with 'group think' rules on wh...

Re: Trump's Challenge: Put Men Back To Work

Nobody is actually "comfortable with it"... Of course not; I did not fully 'flesh' that out properly. Handouts need to have their permanent nature removed, and instead be modified into a temporary hand-up instead, metered and accounted with limitations, and require willingness to participate in re-...

I hope it stays this bloody for the entire four years. I wouldn't necessarily agree with that, as when they fail the country's operation and general efficacy fails.
