Sure, but I still think that they will go down the drain with the rest of us.

England being an island, and having armies and a navy didn't deter the Vikings. And, in the scenario we are talking about, there will be Vikings.

The fantasy about the bunker bros is that they think that they will escape the doom.

They won't, of course. They may buy themselves a fortnight or so, but not much more. Their air purification system, or something critical, will go on the blink and the guy who knows how to fix it will be already dead.

Since when did obstructing the po-po become a capital offence anyway?

But does it have to land in that exact spot and ugly up one of the most beautiful and iconic views in the world? I say this not even being American.

What you are suggesting is the norm in every western country in the World.

However, in the US anything goes.

You might consider fixing that.

Oh yeah. Exactly why the Republicans are dragging their feet. Who are most likely to own passports? MAGA or Dem voters?

Also, the filibuster protects the GOP from Trump more than it does the Democrats.

If they take the house they should immediately dump the filibuster.

I don't think that any outcome they foresee will have any relation to what will actually happen.

Have these guys ever considered that the survivors outside the bunkers might just weld the bunker doors shut whilst those inside watch them do it on closed circuit television?

They protect the filibuster now like a baby chick. It's the only thing that stops Trump's most destructive impulses from becoming a reality. They point to the filibuster and shrug that their hands are tied

If the Republicans wanted to they could have binned it yesterday. The Dems should get rid of it the day they take the house.

Don't want it, don't need it. The nuclear furnace in space provides free fuel. What we need is massive storage. That's the next real battle.

People will argue that we don't have the tech yet. Well, we never have the tech until someone develops it. Do you suppose a chicken laid a nuclear plant? No, it was developed over time. So will energy storage.

The bigger mystery to me is why people try so hard to get back in. I had a 14 year account and when I was banned I just moved on. The last couple of years the place was a pit.
