Hello. Not sure why you are attacking me? Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Using the word "attack" when I'm just concerned about you reading something that may harm you is truly an attack on me. This is an all-ages forum and you should really be cautious about how you talk to people. Happy Holidays. You don't know whether I'm Christian or not. That was perilously close to a micro-aggression.
Wow. Well, someone is obviously triggered by the mornings conversation. Is everything ok? Happy New Year, how about that? Everybody celebrates the New Year, correct?
It's tough hanging out here and seeing all of these bad words. "Creaming" in particular may have wrecked my day, I'm not sure.
I can't speak for everyone regarding Happy New Year. So you should probably just play it safe and not say anything, ever, to anyone.
Yes, sir. Command taken.
Then maybe you should stop trying to speak for everyone? I don't know...
Maybe you can show me specifically where I have claimed to speak for everyone, and not myself. You can count the times I used the word "I".
I used your own words, sir. See your previous post to answer your own question. Hope all is well.

Panama: Trump hotel standoff ends as president surrenders physical control
Police bring 12-day standoff with owners to an end
Hotel’s owners: ‘commercial dispute … just spun out of control’
Associated Press in Panama City
Mon 5 Mar 2018 20.19 GMT
Executives with Donald Trump’s family hotel business have abandoned the management offices of a luxury hotel in Panama that has been the scene of a tense 12-day standoff over a business dispute with the hotel’s owners. Trump’s security guards also left the property.
It took place as a Panamanian judicial official and armed police escorted into the offices the owner of most of the units of the 70-storey, Trump-branded hotel in PanamaCity.
The legal dispute involving Trump’s company was expected to continue, but Monday’s developments meant that Trump had effectively surrendered physical control of the property.
“This was purely a commercial dispute that just spun out of control,” said Orestes Fintiklis, a private equity investor and the head of the hotel’s owners’ association, shortly before entering the hotel management’s offices. “And today this dispute has been settled by the authorities and the judges of this country.”
A Panamanian judicial official told the AP a statement would come later in the day.
The intervention resolves the standoff between Trump’s family hotel business and Fintiklis, who sought to take physical control of the property on behalf of the hotel owners.
Though the owners tried to fire Trump’s company last year, the Trump Organization had disputed the termination as legally invalid – and refused to hand over the property.

It's gotta be part of his revenge game, right? Like his wanting to rename Denali and move backwards (he only has gears in reverse) to a man who never stepped foot in Alaska. A little game of revenge on Lisa Murkowski. School yard bully. That's all that amounts to. A man-child in a position of power. That cannot last.

I was a little irritated over the weekend. My father in law passed away a few weeks ago...his funeral was Saturday.
He was a Corporal in the OH National Guard so he had a military funeral. Very nice service but when the honor guard finished folding the flag the lead guy knelt down and handed the flag to the oldest daughter and said "on behalf of the INCOMING president of the United States"....kind of pissed me off because my FIL fucking hated trump.
Not sure why the asshole felt like he should say that. What did he say to people prior to the election?

report him. that shit is uncalled for.
I'm serious. Report that shit to his superiors. that occasion is NO PLACE to pull that bullshit, no matter how the deceased may or may not have felt about who the sitting president or incoming president is. That guy has a Commander In Chief at present. Its disrespectful to the service member and the grieving family.
2019 my FiL passed. He was Air Force. Honor Guard was sent. For me all of that was intensely emotional. We didnt do anything for my dad (Army) as he was cremated , so that may have played a part.

I would really like to but there are three sisters involved...one is a rabid magat, one I'm not real sure of but likely magat, my wife is anti-magat.
I appreciate their service because it was cold as shit out there but it really bothers me.

First and foremost, sorry for your loss and am grateful for your FIL’s service.
Seems guy spoke out against protocol and inserted his own political view in a forum he had no place to do so. I’d call his commander because that is bullshit.

I agree...and like I said, prior to the election he surely did it correctly. But this magat took it upon himself to stick trump's fat ass in there.
My sister in law arranged it so I'm curious if they asked her how she wanted it to go. I'm just not sure I want to open a can of worms as I'm not sure if anyone even noticed but me. I know there were some arrangements made as to whom they would present the flag to, etc. They very well could have given her the option to accept it on behalf of the current pres or the incoming pres. Still seems very odd.

protocol would suggest its not an option. they arent reading off a script. that a memorized statement
my dad served
my brother served, now as civilian
I served
my brother and I hold different views. it doesnt affect our relationship.
my feeling is that guy shit on our service as well as every other past and current servicemember.
as I recall the funeral home made the call to have them there. no coordination of anything beyond they show up and play taps and fold the flag and present.

Your use of the term Nazis is telling. 🙂
yes, its a correct statement from accurate observation that most white power groups fetishize nazi symbols and propaganda. And that they get bent out of shape online , as if snowfkake applies, when called out as such.
Its telling in that it shows he's paying attention.

JERUSALEM—President-elect Donald Trump’s slated revival of his maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran coupled with a chronic gas shortage in the nation could be the one-two punch that topples the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism, according to one prominent expert.
"This gas shortage inside Iran is highly significant and exposes the regime’s growing vulnerabilities across multiple fronts. From the defeats of Hezbollah and Hamas in their conflicts with Israel, to the losses of the Houthis in Yemen and the collapse of the Syrian regime under Assad, we see a consistent erosion of the regime's influence," Lisa Daftari, an expert on Iran and editor-in-chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital.
She continued, "Add to this the plummeting Rial and the staggering mismanagement of resources despite the loosening of sanctions and billions handed over through lopsided deals under Biden's watch—it's no surprise the regime is under immense pressure."
"With President Trump likely to return to a leadership stance that emphasizes maximum pressure, the Iranian people could find themselves in an environment ripe for demanding regime change, Daftari said.
The widespread blackouts and severe gas shortages for households have jolted Iran’s rulers. Acute anxiety about social and political unrest is on the minds of the rulers who control Iran and are quick to impose violence on mass dissent.
Nationwide protests over fuel prices and the violent repression of women for not properly wearing the compulsory hijab have rocked the Tehran regime in 2019 and 2022.
In 2019, Fox News Digital reported that Iran’s regime killed at least 106 people who protested against an increase of fuel prices. Three years later, in 2022, the regime’s infamous morality police murdered a young woman, Masha Amini, for not adequately covering her hair. The 2022 protests morphed into widespread calls across the nation for the dissolution of the Islamic Republic.
According to a Tuesday report in the London-based Iran International news organization, the head of Iran’s judiciary sent a directive to prevent unrest because of the power and gas outages.
Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of Iran’s judiciary reportedly said "The Attorney General and prosecutors across the country, in direct cooperation with the intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies, should take all appropriate measures and arrangements to stabilize and strengthen the security of the people and citizens, and, as in the past, and even with greater firmness, take the relevant measures so that the enemy's conspiracy to create insecurity…is neutralized."
Despite Iran’s vast natural gas and oil reserves, years of underinvestment, economic mismanagement, corruption and sanctions have left the energy sector ill-prepared for seasonal surges.
The Islamic Republic has also pumped massive funds into its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, over the years. Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, has said that Iran funnels roughly $700 million to $1 billion a year to Hezbollah and Hamas secures $100 million a year.
The Iranian rial on December 18 fell to its lowest level in history, losing more than 10% of value since Trump won the presidential election in November and signaling new challenges for Tehran as it remains locked in the wars raging across the Middle East.
Iran’s Central Bank has in the past flooded the market with more hard currencies in an attempt to improve the rate.
The currency plunged as Iran ordered the closure of schools, universities, and government offices on Wednesday due to a worsening energy crisis exacerbated by harsh winter conditions. The crisis follows a summer of blackouts and is now compounded by severe cold, snow and air pollution.

Panama: Trump hotel standoff ends as president surrenders physical control
Executives with Donald Trump’s family hotel business have abandoned the management offices of a luxury hotel in Panama that has been the scene of a tense 12-day standoff over a business dispute with the hotel’s owners. Trump’s security guards also left the property.

Seems guy spoke out against protocol and inserted his own political view in a forum he had no place to do so. I’d call his commander because that is bullshit.

My sister in law arranged it so I'm curious if they asked her how she wanted it to go. I'm just not sure I want to open a can of worms as I'm not sure if anyone even noticed but me. I know there were some arrangements made as to whom they would present the flag to, etc. They very well could have given her the option to accept it on behalf of the current pres or the incoming pres. Still seems very odd.

JERUSALEM—President-elect Donald Trump’s slated revival of his maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran coupled with a chronic gas shortage in the nation could be the one-two punch that topples the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism, according to one prominent expert.
"This gas shortage inside Iran is highly significant and exposes the regime’s growing vulnerabilities across multiple fronts. From the defeats of Hezbollah and Hamas in their conflicts with Israel, to the losses of the Houthis in Yemen and the collapse of the Syrian regime under Assad, we see a consistent erosion of the regime's influence," Lisa Daftari, an expert on Iran and editor-in-chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital.
She continued, "Add to this the plummeting Rial and the staggering mismanagement of resources despite the loosening of sanctions and billions handed over through lopsided deals under Biden's watch—it's no surprise the regime is under immense pressure."
"With President Trump likely to return to a leadership stance that emphasizes maximum pressure, the Iranian people could find themselves in an environment ripe for demanding regime change, Daftari said.
The widespread blackouts and severe gas shortages for households have jolted Iran’s rulers. Acute anxiety about social and political unrest is on the minds of the rulers who control Iran and are quick to impose violence on mass dissent.
Nationwide protests over fuel prices and the violent repression of women for not properly wearing the compulsory hijab have rocked the Tehran regime in 2019 and 2022.
In 2019, Fox News Digital reported that Iran’s regime killed at least 106 people who protested against an increase of fuel prices. Three years later, in 2022, the regime’s infamous morality police murdered a young woman, Masha Amini, for not adequately covering her hair. The 2022 protests morphed into widespread calls across the nation for the dissolution of the Islamic Republic.
According to a Tuesday report in the London-based Iran International news organization, the head of Iran’s judiciary sent a directive to prevent unrest because of the power and gas outages.
Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of Iran’s judiciary reportedly said "The Attorney General and prosecutors across the country, in direct cooperation with the intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies, should take all appropriate measures and arrangements to stabilize and strengthen the security of the people and citizens, and, as in the past, and even with greater firmness, take the relevant measures so that the enemy's conspiracy to create insecurity…is neutralized."
Despite Iran’s vast natural gas and oil reserves, years of underinvestment, economic mismanagement, corruption and sanctions have left the energy sector ill-prepared for seasonal surges.
The Islamic Republic has also pumped massive funds into its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, over the years. Matthew Levitt, a counter-terrorism expert for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, has said that Iran funnels roughly $700 million to $1 billion a year to Hezbollah and Hamas secures $100 million a year.
The Iranian rial on December 18 fell to its lowest level in history, losing more than 10% of value since Trump won the presidential election in November and signaling new challenges for Tehran as it remains locked in the wars raging across the Middle East.
Iran’s Central Bank has in the past flooded the market with more hard currencies in an attempt to improve the rate.
The currency plunged as Iran ordered the closure of schools, universities, and government offices on Wednesday due to a worsening energy crisis exacerbated by harsh winter conditions. The crisis follows a summer of blackouts and is now compounded by severe cold, snow and air pollution.
