And, again, I have my doubts.

Thanks. Brad.

Sure can, I was part of the crew who built the 2nd largest escalator in the world. Answering you own questions is a sign of mental illness. You go right on hating on unions and i'll keep getting that check every month. I was smart enough to figure out there is power in numbers.

Thanks Dave

So the real question is are you good with a 40$ union produced head of lettuce?


My guess is you’d squeal like a pig.


Family photo? All you need is an Arnold Palmer and a trumpo shirt.

The other account is not active and hasn't been since 2019 or I would have. Most likely doesn't know his password and either doesn't know how to reset it or can't reset it due to not having access to his registered email. That could have been rectified, had he reached out. Other members have done the same thing and I'm following past practice instead of selectively enforcing the rule.

Personally, I think this thread should have been in the Talk Politics or at least the Bilge section, but a bunch of people were up in arms about it, so we/mods let it be. There were also plenty of other members who reported the thread and didn't want it in GD. All this thread has done, has been to give people a podium to preach from.

Come NOVEMBER 6th, this thread is going to the Talk Politics section and any subsequent POLITICAL threads will need to be posted there or will be moved there or deleted.
