I wasn't advocating that Roosevelt should have force Britiain to surrender.

I was making the point that, if Trump had been in power in 1940, at best he would have done nothing and more likely he would have been happy to work against Britain.

Imagine if Roosevelt ended WW 2 by forcing the British to accept the peace terms that Hitler was offering in 1940. Incidentally, Hitler was offering better terms than Putin is offering to Ukraine, not that I would trust either of them.

On the plus side, it will create jobs in collection agencies.

And, despite many of the worst people being above the law.

Could be intentional. I'm reminded the German Nazis were fond of terms such as "protective custody."

So, Trump could assassinate anybody likely to vote for his impeachment and it would be OK??? Yikes!!!!

It is the Thoughts and Prayers Plan.

Like the health care plan that was going to be delivered in two weeks.

To be accurate, she isn't the only crony who is benefiting.

In fairness to her, it was an article of faith among the QAnon cult members that liberals and democrats were the culprits. No doubt the idea that they could be wrong is too horrible to contemplate.

That sounds strangely familiar in these times.

There is a positive feedback loop. You use your perceived success as a means to establish connections with influential people which further inflates your reputation and allows you make new and more influential connections and so on.

One suspects that the GJ was told palpable falsehoods and/or led to understand that they wouldn't be allowed to leave until there was an indictment.

When you think they have reached rock bottom, they still find ways of going lower.

You get the Thoughts and Prayers plan.

As a bonus for those who hold large amounts of real estate, it will help drive up prices since it will allow larger mortgages on the same income.

There is even a quantity discount.

Perhaps he wanted to look up the victim's vaccination records.

Bin Laden would have done it for free.

Is he that good a shot?

Nonsense, It can easily be found with an electron microscope..

Not surprising. They know their friends will end up there.

Almost as good as the critical thinking skills of others who agree with you.

The railways are electrified and are more important for logistics than they are in North America. Also, the defense industry relies on electricity.

In fairness, it is hard work coming up with excuses.

Dishonest lies on your part.

The Nazis were socialists in the same way that the Peoples Democracies were democracies.

By the late 1930s, nobody in Europe believed that the Nazis were left wing.

Trump is a poster child for the Dunning Kruger effect. This can be summed up as follows: “Those with limited knowledge in a domain suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach mistaken conclusions and make regrettable errors, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it,”

"you won’t meet anyone who doesn’t like him."

More likely that nobody finds the idea of falling out of a window very appealing.

UnAmerican to the extreme!!

Very likely the test is being carried out by exceptionally skilled personnel from the vendor(s) who will be careful to ensure that everything has been carefully checked and in order. Moreover, they will have a priori knowledge of the nature of the simulated threat missile and its flight profile.
