That was the first mention of my being an FSO that I can find. I am sure a more diligent search will turn up earlier referrals..

I stand corrected... that was before my time... but it is odd that you didn’t bring these job positions up until you were busted lying about denying that you had claimed that you had been in law enforcement for almost 25 years. You suddenly started saying that you worked in public safety for 25 years...but we were discussing law enforcement — no one ever mentioned “public safety” — when you claimed to have worked in law enforcement for almost two and a half decades!

But I am glad you found this post, because it shows just how long you’ve been lying about your resume!

Well, let's see.. Almost three decades in the security and law enforcement career fields, spanning two different branches of the US Armed Forces, plus the civilian sector.

You denied saying you had been in law enforcement for almost 25 years a few months back, but back in 2007 you were claiming almost 30 years in the field! You just cannot keep up with your own lies, can you???

Also....Notice in your post that you claim the only law enforcement experience you had was during your time in the military!

Sorry, but it is still MILD compared to the interactions between you and Kick.

I agree Mike is a hypocrite, but keep my fake name out of your damn mouth.

And when the carrot doesn't work it's time to use the stick.

I agree with that too; hopefully CW will use the stick on your entitled ass because he owes you nothing.

A member of the media that avoids addressing issues
instead of exploring them.

Oh, get over yourself too. Your shit doesn't qualify as an "issue"... just your pathetic obsession.

GET FUCKING REAL.

You've been turned down for multiple years now. It doesn't get any more real than that... so why don't you get real and allow that to sink in.

Easy there, buckwheat...

Not to defend Don Harris and his regular BS in any way, but you lecturing him considering some of the comments you've posted just reeks with the stench of entitlement.

*laughing so hard it hurts* :)

Victoria my dear..

In your dreams, Trump trash.

I understand that your brain is not wired to concede you are wrong.. That's not an insult.. A mere statement of fact..

You understand how to lie, how to make up fake quotes, how to plagiarize the work product of others, and how to bleat back a right-wing talking point like a useful idiot. That's about it.

Great assessment of the flawed logic that is Don Harris’ dream of being seen as the genius who came up with One Demand. He rests his entire argument on “COULD it happen”, knowing that the answer is “Yes, it COULD occur” and then challenging us with “If it COULD be possible, should we not attempt it?”

He fails to realize that his idea COULD also result in setting into motion a chain of events that leads to global nuclear war and the end of mankind! Shouldn’t we avoid it at all costs if this COULD be the result?!?

He wants CW to devote an article addressing his political non-movement without doing any real work to actually put his idea into action — that’s CW’s job, apparently.

Coronavirus has killed a couple thousand people total and people are hysterically panicked..

Heart Disease kills almost half a million people every year and KFC creates a doughnut chicken sandwich..

:eyeroll:

No one wants to debate how President Trump wins again??? :D

Jeeezus, it's gonna be a graveyard around here come 4 Nov... :D

Supreme Court gives Trump win by allowing 'remain in Mexico' policy to continue
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-gives-trump-temporary-win-on-remain-in-mexico-policy

And ONCE AGAIN.... President Trump and his leadership and his policies WIN in the courts..

Seriously, people.. Don't ya'all GET the futility of trying to push ya'all's radical and anti/hate America agenda???

Ya'all will ***NEVER*** win..

It's really THAT simple... :D

So, what's yer take on Democrats wanting to shut the Democrat primary down and anoint Joe Biden???

Yea... That's what a hater and a bigot would say..

A person who KNOWS about leadership and what it entails would know that it's a sign of President Trump's high standards and that not many people can live up to them..

Today, so far, it continues downward by 1200 points so far

According to YOU, President Trump has nothing to do with the Stock Market..

So, you shoot down your own argument... :D

"And.....?????"

Just more signs of Trump's chaos, incompetence, and lack of leadership

People are actually praising Mike Pence in comparison to Trump

I would also not gloat about Trump being a great leader on anything....

While the Stock Market might have briefly rallied for one day, guess what....

Today, so far, it continues downward by 1200 points so far

And.....?????

Call the rest of it off and anoint the old white guy Biden as the chosen one..

Howz THAT for democracy, eh?? :eyeroll:

"Have you taken into account that next Tuesday is St. Paddy's Day? Irishmen will be too drunk to cast a ballot."

Actually, St. Patrick's Day parades have been cancelled now because of the coronavirus, in Ireland, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, Philadelphia, etc.

Also, Mulvaney was fired as White House Chief of Staff. This marks the fourth turnover (Incoming Mark Meadows now being number 4), unprecedented in times of a crisis and something that has never historically happened before to go thru so many in such a short amount of time.

My response was indeed to your questions. Your assumptions and numbers are not based on any supportable foundation. Dust in the wind.

Yes, I saw those boxes in preview as well, but figured they'd drop off. I agree they look odd, but the whole post is more readable and I appreciate your edits.

Indubitably....

I dunno if I would call that a "right".. But u obviously have "permission" of a sort.. :D

So while I am always free to to leave, after being invited in I have the right to stay until asked to leave.

To the best of my knowledge, only 3 of us here today were actually "invited". But why quibble...

The host has a choice to create a respectful environment.

You have it backwards. It's up to the guests to be respectful.. Not the other way around..

But until they ask a guest to leave a guest can behave as the guest deems appropriate under the precedents set by the behavior of the other guests and host.

Agree to disagree...

The commonality in MANY police shootings??

SUBJECTs running from cops..

If yer innocent of any crimes, there is no need to run...

I disagree.. Simply by virtue of hosting, the host deserves respect..

When your host ignores respectful behavior, puts you in a closet during the dinner conversation then opens the door when the conversation is over and jokes about how you missed the conversation again that is not respectful behavior by the host.

And if that's how you feel you have been treated, you are free to leave..

Let's face reality.. You have no "rights" here whatsoever sans one..

The right NOT to be here..

You are absolutely correct..

But you are also absolutely comparing apples and eskimos..

If I were a "guest" in Victoria's "home", my interactions would be completely different than they are right now..

In other words, if we were in Victoriaville instead of Weigantia, I would treat Victoria with as much respect as I treat CW...

And when the carrot doesn't work it's time to use the stick.

Yes.. But shoving the stick up your host's ass is bad form..

I don't begrudge you your opinion.. I think you are simply ignoring your "guest" status in CW's "home" and are failing to act accordingly..

With other guests, lines are meant to be crossed..

With your host?? There are lines that should NEVER be crossed...

Just my opinion..

Easy there, buckwheat...

Which will leave Joe Biden wholly and completely unprepared for mud fighting..

Biden doesn't stand a chance..

JL

Well, let's see.. Almost three decades in the security and law enforcement career fields, spanning two different branches of the US Armed Forces, plus the civilian sector. I was a police officer (SPI/OSI) with the USAF and did extensive service in the Far East.. During the first Gulf War, I was an Army LT (MI) and did significant liaison with NATO and Israeli military and civilian intelligence. I have served as an FSO and have had postings and assignments all over the world.
http://www.chrisweigant.com/2007/10/01/the-day-after-we-bomb-iran/

Notice the date of that link.. Oct of 2007...

That was the first mention of my being an FSO that I can find. I am sure a more diligent search will turn up earlier referrals..

Once again... Retarded and hysterical bullshit from Russ..

Stone cold solid FACTS from me.. :D

Again with the same old bullshit claims.

And again, absolutely NO FACTS to support the claims..

Your criminal record — do we need to repost it in order to jog your memory — makes your claims of being in law enforcement utter rubbish!

The fact that you even have what you claim you have is VERY reflective of your obsessive tendencies..

Seriously, dood.. Why do you feel the need to HAVE my alleged criminal record if one even exists..??

Why did you feel you HAD to scour the Internet for personal and private information on me??

Were you SO UTTERLY decimated by my intellectually bitch slapping you down on a DAILY basis you felt you had NO CHOICE but to stalk me and my family??

You DO realize that makes you look really sick and pathetic, right???

Your “bona fides” are nothing but the fact that you successfully conned everyone here... congrats!

So, NOW you are accusing everyone of being conned.. Even CW???

Wow.. You really must have a low opinion of their intelligence, eh??

And it was YOU who offered up the info that you had never worked in law enforcement outside of when you were an MP while in the service.

Again with the claim.. And AGAIN... Absolutely NO FACTS to support the claim..

And now you add “FSO” and “security” to your work history

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Son, I have had FSO and security attached to my resume since I first started with CW back in 2006..

The FACT that you claim I am just now adding them shows how utterly stoopid and moronic you really are..

without bothering to identify in what capacity these terms are related to law enforcement...

I honestly didn't think I *HAD* to identify how they relate.. I figured ya'all had at LEAST 2 brain cells to rub together..

I guess, in your case, I over estimated your intelligence...

When you have FACTS to support all yer bullshit claims, come on back.. I'll be here.. :D

And I am constrained to point out that you have been lying about your work history in law enforcement this whole time...and that is based on your own confessions that you lied. So now you were lying about lying, is that it? Your criminal record — do we need to repost it in order to jog your memory — makes your claims of being in law enforcement utter rubbish!

Your “bona fides” are nothing but the fact that you successfully conned everyone here... congrats! Heck, I admit that I accepted your claims of having worked in law enforcement at first, because I didn’t see why would you want to lie about that. And it was YOU who offered up the info that you had never worked in law enforcement outside of when you were an MP while in the service. You lie so often that you could not keep your stories straight!

And now you add “FSO” and “security” to your work history without bothering to identify in what capacity these terms are related to law enforcement... like I said earlier, you being on the Federal Sex Offenders list is done in the interest of public safety...it doesn’t mean you have a career in Public Safety!

How do we know this for a fact??

Because it's IMPOSSIBLE for you to say, "Yunno.. I have to admit.. All politics aside, President Trump did a good thing with xxx.."

If you were to say something like that, yer tongue would turn it fire...

No.. What's pathetic is your insistence that ANYONE who doesn't toe your hate and bigotry filled line is not an expert in anything and is, in fact, not even fit to live..

You are totally and unequivocally a political animal totally and completely driven by your hatred and bigotry..

You have not a SINGLE solitary objective cell in yer body...

You weren’t in PUBLIC SAFETY for 25 years! You are an honor whore: wanting people to believe you have served when you have not!

I am also constrained to point out that my military, LEO, FSO and security bona fides are well established here in Weigantia and have even been acknowledged by the Grand Poobah hisself, when he needed assistance with the concept of military logistics...

But, by all means.. Continue to assault this deceased equine..

It simply shows the utter futility of you being here... :D

When Coronavirus goes the way of Ebola and Y2K and all the other end-of-the-world scenarios that the media pushes, ya'all are going to have a LOT of egg on ya'all's faces.. :D

But hell... Between 2016 and all the times ya'all have predicted President Trump's demise and been wrong...

Egg-on-face is pretty much ya'all standard state of being, eh? :D

Victoria my dear..

I reiterate: Context.

What you call "context" is nothing but spin...

Snopes (which you regularly quote when it says what you want to hear) states:

Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-coronavirus-rally-remark/

Again, with all DUE respect.. You are wrong on this one.. Just like you were wrong when you claimed a report I posted did not mention the HIV pandemic...

I understand that your brain is not wired to concede you are wrong.. That's not an insult.. A mere statement of fact..

I acknowledge that you can't concede the point even though I and many others have pointed the facts out to you..

We're still friends.. :D

DSWS,

But I don't think he actually meant hoax.

According to Snopes (which ya'all lefties routinely swear to...) President Trump did not call the coronavirus a hoax..

People like Russ et al live in a dream world where President Trump is guilty of Russia Collusion and was removed from office in the faux impeachment coup..

Russ,

Trump called the coronavirus “the Democrats’ new hoax”. He called it a hoax! You are still wrong!

Boo how hoo... we own you!

Snopes, JL and now Dan, PLUS the FACTS all say you are full of shit..

Deal with it, Russ..

You weren’t in PUBLIC SAFETY for 25 years! You are an honor whore: wanting people to believe you have served when you have not!

And yet, you have not a SINGLE SOLITARY FACT to back that bullshit claim up..

Why is that???

Bernie has no path to victory.

Nor do Democrats... But I am sure that won't stop them from trying.. :D

It's not surprising..

The Empire Strikes Back..

In this case, it's the Establishment..

Bernie Bros are not going to be happy...

Nov 2020 is looking like Nov 2016 redux...

-CW

I think you're the first person to ever try to put an unordered list into a comment, I have to say.

I went in and tried to restore the tags where it seemed like they should go. It kinda worked, but on my screen they now show up in strange boxes (each list item). Other than that, though, it seems to work.

Like I said, I think this is the first time anyone's tried it, so I have no idea what went wrong, but I think it looks something like you intended now, at least...

-CW

The preview showed all of my bullet lists with bullets and nice spacing, so the post didn't look like a bit of Proust. The fact that I can see half a closing tag in the post, though, means I messed up with my tags somehow. Darn.

That should be "the last two times" for Hillary in '08 and Bernie in '16...

-CW

No, your [16] was right, pretty much. It wasn't overly snotty or anything, at least to my eyes.

My point is that Bernie's human just like anyone, and both he and Hillary stayed in it to the bitter end last time.

My guess is he'll stick around for one more week, do the last debate, and then get buried in either Florida or Florida AND Illinois next week. Then it will become painfully obvious, and he'll drop out and announce his support for Biden.

This is his last crack at a presidential run (due to his age), so I don't begrudge him an extra week. And I bet the media will (1) heap enormous amounts of pressure on him during this week, and (2) praise him to the skies when he drops out and calls for party unity.

I could be wrong, but that's the way I see it playing out. When they called Michigan, I knew it was all over for Bernie, personally.

-CW

Not sure what you're talking about. I checked behind the scenes, and your post [20] shows up here exactly as it is in the database, nothing was stripped off. It's a pretty long post, at least on my screen. Maybe it's the browser you're using or something?

I do admit that Preview sucks rocks. It has never worked the way it was supposed to, even though I tried about eleven different ways to code it. It has always sucked, and I probably should just get rid of it because it's so broken. So I do apologize if it screwed part of your comment up.

-CW

Jury still out on ND and WA... Bernie leads in both, for now...

-CW

I guess I'm a bit excited this evening … or something.

Over and out.

I’ll bandy a little. I’ve previously commented on OD, so I don’t feel any need to visit that again. My main concern with your push is the vast chasm between what you view as possible, while I would consider just some of it conceivable at best.

We’re talking here about two populations here: eligible, registered voters and eligible, non-registered voters.

• Do we have any idea how many eligible, non-registered voters there are? Nope, because we don’t have a way to count them.
• Do we know why they aren’t registered? Nope and I bet we could come up with a hundred reasons why, like not knowing they are eligible, not knowing how to register, their state making it difficult to register, etc., all the way to there’s too darn much big money in politics.
• The population of eligible, registered voters can be broken down into non-voters, occasional voters, sometimes voters, frequent voters, and diehards. Do we have a handle on this breakdown? Nope.
• Do we know why some eligible registered voters don’t vote much or at all? Again, there are probably easily a hundred reasons why, like being a member of a group, like minor students who don’t live in the same jurisdiction as their parent(s)/guardian(s) do, that some states are working mightily to disenfranchise; living in a portion of a county that the powers-that-be have decided doesn’t need close, convenient, well-equipped, and well-staffed polls; transportation or time-off issues in a state that restricts early voting or eligibility for absentee ballots, etc., all the way to there’s too darn much big money in politics.
• How many single-issue voters are there among either population who would vote at all or more if there weren’t so much darn money in politics? Again, we haven’t a clue.

Now, let’s talk money.

• Do we believe that candidates will take on the additional cost to set up and manage the bookkeeping to notify donors whose contributions have reached $200 to stop their monthly automatic contributions? Will they absorb the cost of returning the checks of those whose cumulative contributions exceed $200?
• Will our heroes eschew county, state, or national party money?
• Can our heroes stop the Bloombergs or dark money groups out there from focusing “non-affiliated” election spending on them?
• Once those who regularly contribute more than $200 to a single candidate have dutifully reduced their donations to a cumulative maximum of $200 per candidate and the candidate has renounced PAC money, on what basis do we believe that shortfall will be more than made up by those who have never given a dime or as much as $200 to a single candidate?

Finally, let’s talk outreach.

• Do we think there is a sizeable group of engaged, informed non-voters just waiting to hear of a candidate willing to go the hero route?
• Do we think there’s a sizeable group of voters who will vote for that hero regardless of the candidate’s stances on matters of concern to that voter?
• After a hero gets elected, what are the chances that hero can make enough significant change in a swamp still filled with big money to get re-elected? Who needs a “do-nothing” hero?
• How does one reach non-engaged and/or non-informed voters?

So, there’s my starter set of concerns. I don’t like big money in politics, but to paraphrase a total scumbag, Donald Rumsfeld, I go to the election with the candidates running. I don’t feel yours is a viable path to getting money out of politics. There’s too much at stake to let the perfect be the enemy of good. Now that we’ve had a load of the current President and Senate Leader, we need to get out the vote and make those votes matter.

I personally think you should consider joining one or more of the many other entities exploring different avenues of getting big money out of politics.

I wish I could take back [18].

And, if there is a debate on Sunday, I hope Biden has figured out how to persuade Bernie to understand that his vote for the AUMF in Iraq was a vote to avoid war, not go to war.

Bernie already has no path to victory even before his future lopsided loss in Florida.

Bernie's likely waiting for WA results. Biden cobbled together a way to give a speech (to his gathered aides) so he could make a statement, but Bernie didn't bother. That's really all it is, I think.

-CW

He's technically up in ND, too, but only with 10% in, so that's pretty meaningless so far...

-CW

But, it's going to keep a smile on my face for a long and satisfying while …

And, I'll bet their surprise doesn't end tonight. Heh.

Looks like the end of the road for Bernie -- hate to say it, but I just don't see any way forward for him at this point. The only question left now seems to be when he'll drop out...

-CW

So you're saying it'll have to remain pie in the sky?

Heh.

-CW

-CW

-CW

Haven't seen anyone else do so, but it's really no surprise.

-CW

Have you taken into account that next Tuesday is St. Paddy's Day? Irishmen will be too drunk to cast a ballot.

Heh. Couldn't resist...

:-)

-CW

And now for the bad news:

Idaho......................... Biden
Michigan................... Biden
Mississippi................ Biden... the South has spoken
Missouri.................... Biden
North Dakota............ Biden
Washington............... Biden
Democrats Abroad.... Bernie... probably Biden, though ;)

The race was essentially over on Super Tuesday... just like 2016 when Bernie also failed to win the South.

Florida in 1 week from now will be a literal blowout no matter what happens in the debate in Phoenix on the Ides of March. :)
