fauxlaw

With a blanket attitude like that, you, by claim, are not old, yourself, you're an ignorant child. By age, I've been around 76 years; closer to death than birth, but my mind is as clear as when I was in college [before my brain even finished development]. In fact, a year ago, I earned my fourth baccalaureate in linguistics. Never generalize when talking about groups of people. It takes all kinds with all ages, my friend, because we are individuals, not woke group-think. That may be the worst example of Marxism; that individuals do not exist. Bullshit.

Some people think I'm old. Others think I'm a child. And still others don't think at all in my regard.

That tells me only that thinking, alone, may not be all it's cracked-up to be.

Experience... now, there's a factor few young people add to the concept of age with any sense of appreciation. Mainly, I suppose, because young people lacking experience have little of consequence of the lack.

So, one consideration is that I have personally occupied and experienced 76.17 x [7.07 x 10^11 sq. km] of space. How many of you can say that? I'll wager I am on the high side of that calculation. Maybe ebuc can tell us how many bosons fit in that accumulated space.

Another consideration is that all for whom I bear some responsibility have all been educated sufficient to know for what they must consent, and do so wilingly and with sufficient skill to be credible in their spheres of influence. I can, therefore, claim some satisfaction that my occupation of space has been worthwhile to more than myself.

you are a MAGA talking head.

Your opinion, only, but not the case.

...your prevarication?

What prevarication? Is my #1 posing the original question somehow vague to you? Look up each word definition, then, if any are beyond you - there is no hidden agenda therein. Just a simple question that could potentially apply to, at present, 4 different men; two of each major Party; Bill Clinton, Bush 43, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. I think two of those men, and potentially three [the latter being Bush] would feel maligned being associated with MAGA.

But, as I've already said, the possibility of Bill Clinton, Bush 43, Barack Obama, or Donald Trump, to be elected to a subsequent office of the VP is possible, by current constitutional language, all current two-term elected presidents, so it is not specific to Trump. See my reply just above, my #23 to Shorsey. It is possible, however unlikely, based on his Party's actions in '24, for Biden to run for a second term.

There are sufficient apparent gaps in extant constitutional language to allow a two-term presidential accession to the vice-presidency, even by election, but not so for a third presidential term. But the language of the 22A has a lack of specificity in the succession language such that a 2-term president may possibly be subsequently elected VP, then succeed the presidency by vacation of the presidential office by the elected president by any means to the VP, such as by appointment or VP-succession. In the latter case, there is no constitutional language that suggests in vacating of the presidential office, the VP is skipped in succession to award the presidential office to, for example, the Speaker of the House, which would be the normal succession if nether the presidential nor vice presidential offices are filled. Therefore, if such election to the vice presidency by a two-term-served president is possible, that languages needs to be clarified if such a result is not desired, and would need to do so by approval and ratification of a 28th amendment, as stipulated by Article V.

More continuous meme of mathematic counterfeit correlation v. causation-attempted humor. Heaven is not viewed by such means.

sung to the tune of ?

popular children's rhyme: "If You're Happy and You Know it, Clap Your Hands." origin is unknown, but was awarded a copyright in 1971, though is known to be much older than that date.

I am not intrigued by your continuous meme of mathematic counterfeit correlation v. causation-attempted humor. Fermions and bosons notwithstanding, they ought to be strung together, cheek-to-cheek, to sing some Greek chorus of Ulysses combatting Irus, the beggar. I favor literature over mathematics, anyway, if only because I have more ciphers to tell my stories than yours, since I have all languages at my disposal, and you have but one: universal numbers. And those ciphers of yours amount to merely 10 ciphers, whereas mine, just in Egyptian hieroglyphs, count greater than 3,500. Now, let's add Roman, Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew characters, etc, etc... get it? You're circumscribed.

How does a third Trump term avoid impeachment, let alone criminal charges? DOJ policy, alone, allegedly prohibits presidential indictment, but department policy is not statutory law, while a read of Article I, Section 3, clause 7 clearly stipulates a sitting president "...shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." The law is superior to any dept policy; always, though we have been duped to believe otherwise for over 50 years, thanks to Nixon, and his AG, Mitchell, who established the aforementioned policy to try to save Nixon from shame. The effort failed, but the policy continues.

What relevance has Lalaka to this string? She's not been in the office of the presidency even once, let alone twice, and has never even been nominated by a convention of her peers to run, but merely appointed by them to the candidacy which failed while amassing a debt of over $1B.

But I lived in San Francisco when she was SF DA, thanks to player Willie Brown, and when elected by an idiotic electorate to AG, so I am well seasoned to her lack of competence as a dog catcher, though I would gladly put her in the cage, myself. Just another communist, which, as an eco-political system, has never endured anywhere longer than even 100 years. Barely 80, and, on average, <40. So, what's to recommend Lalaka?

Did I mention a president by name? No, it's a general question, but the Constitution does say [22nd amendment] "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." See my response to Sidewalker.

What makes you think the question is about Trump? I never mentioned a president by name. It could be easily about Oba'a, or Clinton, or Bush 43, for example. But, I understand fixation, a Socialist ideal, of course.

I just realized I've not replied to the original question of this string, which does not ask about man's flight, pin which I was caught up in this string, but death. I perceive death as taking two forms: one, physical death of the body, which I perceive as separation of the spirit from the physical body, which, heretofore, has occurred to everyone born on Earth, but will not be a permanent condition for anyone; and, two, spiritual death, which is a physical separation of the human spirit from God, which may or may not be a permanent condition. Whether or not we are permanently separated from God is entirely up to us and the quality of our mortal righteousness.

I invite your commentary, for and against. I have my own opinion on the matter; but, not yet willing to reveal where I hold opinion.

A cape. Flap arms. Boring, and probably not evolutionary at all.

I figure human-powered flight will be achieved by thought, alone. Mind over matter, just as are most of humanity's advantages over other animals.

You are the one nailed to the cross of flapping arms. So, you, first.

I'm saying, there may be other means available. If not now, there is a future, or is that a limited Sidewalker view? That's entirely on you, my friend.

Y^'all who reply to this string seem to think you know who my subject its. Have I even mentioned his name?

One-trick ponies, one and all.

Looks like he's bought you. Can't ignore him, can you? Try.

no, we will never

Well, you sure won't, will you? Who says flapping arms is the sum of our flight potential? Surely, that's your failure. So be it.

"I can't," said Luke Skywalker.

"That is why your fail," Yoda replied.

An executive order isn’t an opinion

I never said an EO is an opinion. Read it again, Jack. Poor interpretation.

My #19: "You [Rex] may have the opinion that by signing EO's, the President [whoever he is] may violate the Constitution.

Evidence that all of us do occasional mistaken interpretation; even you. Stuff it.

By whose consideration? Source, pls. because the data I see from FBI does not say that.

Probably? He had his hand thrust up the derelict blowhole to move the mouth

the constitution expressly grants the sole power to declare war to Congress.

Did Congress declare war against the Southern States? Against Native Americans? Korea? Vietnam? Cambodia? Laos? Iraq? Iran... Yet we have hade military conflict in all of them, and more.

Nope. Congress has declared war only 5 times in US history: the War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II, and more of those have been fought on what is now our soil, but was contested, then. Was the life of those presidents endangered by opposition rhetoric to the point of actual assassination attempts? So, why is Trump singled out as the enemy of Dimocrats. Don't bother answering the question, it will just be more hate. You don't need it.

For other people who do dance at State Dinners, and such. For the people. Get it?

Did I say people don't believe in aliens? No, but your attitude of people who don't believe they exist is complètement fou.

Your #1 says they are lazy and don't think. My first comment to you [#17] was not about people who respond to polls, but the people who create them and ask stupid questions that are biased, and then claim their results are valid.

Maybe that lazy and unthinking charge, let alone the "Putain de sa mere!!" was aimed at the guy in mirror, your real nemesis. It sure isn't me.

Simple: they can't dance; particularly the Nun. No rhythm. None.

Besides, it's not costing them a penny.

Besides, a few presidents of the past have remodeled the "People's" House; some extensively at our expense.

And let's recall, this president is not taking a salary, unlike the boastesses, and actually does work in the White House, unlike his predecessor.

The View has reached its horizon and needs its sundown..

Then you have passed over and render as irrelevant Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, to wit:

"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;"

By precedent, this includes any other law enforcement detail, including ICE.

I gave you the initial 3 reasons for my objection that were general onjections that apply to most polls I observe. I was disappointed by a fourth reason after reading the survey particulars in your link to the survey, including the Methodology, which is critical in my educated assessment. That fourth issue: respondants were paid for their participation. It was a small amount [up to $20 value], but even so, it is contrary to adequate methodology for accurate results. That's a fail.

Ob'a has said that he envisions his original post-presidency objective will suddenly have fruition after more than ten years of delay: to train the new generation of [Democrat] leaders. I imagine and observe that Oba'a sees no hope in his current generation, let alone anyone older, and not yet being an old man, himself.

His '28 choice is Gavin Newsom, but he has a new wrinkle for the firebrand of sunny, but burning California.

Newsom will run as a trans, thereby needing no other candidate for a vice president. After all, human identity is now an accepted Democrat ideal of multiple genders, and multiple persons, changeable daily. The Founders never anticipated constitutionally that both offices might be fulfilled in the same person, but, here we are, or at least, here is where the radical left thinks we are. I suppose one can also be a citizen today, a non- tomorrow, and maybe even a jackass the day after. HeeHaw.
