I hope he gets a pardon for his federal crimes. That would clear the decks for NY to prosecute him for all of his RICO crimes. Instead of Club Fed he could rot in Attica, or SingSing, or maybe even more appropriately the NYS Maximum Security Facility in Clinton, NY (Yes there is one there. You can't make this shit up.). For his own safety he should be in solitary with no contact with anyone. He also should not have a phone for tweeting. But he should have a very large screen TV permanently tuned to CNN and on 18 hours a day.

@dalefvictor, if anything happens to the VP, or the VP be comes President, the President nominates a new VP who has to approved by both houses of Congress.

For Pelosi to become President, both Pence and Trump would have to be gone before a new VP was nominated and approved by Congress.

mcgeo52 replies on Sep 24, 2019:

@IamNobody, nothing goes faster than the speed of light. The speed of light squared is the acceleration to be factored into the classic physics formula, F=MA where Force = Mass times Acceleration. Obviously c squared, which is not c by a factor of two (i.e., c times 2), but rater c times c, is a humongous number. When you multiply it by something as small as the mass of an atom (the m in Einstein's equation, factored in as the M in F+MA), you still have a huge af number for the e (which is the Force in F=MA). In other words, splitting an atom and breaking the atomic bond releases an almost incomprehensible amount of energy.

mcgeo52 replies on Sep 23, 2019:

I don't buy it. The Democrats have run a centrist candidate in every election since McGovern lost in '72. McGovern lost to an incumbent with a strong economy. It was a given he would lose. It's not a legit excuse to not run a progressive candidate. Since McGovern, we have had 11 Presidential elections. Which ones have the Democrats won? • 1976 against Ford. They could have run their most radical progressive against the disgraced Republicans and probably won. • 1992 against GHW Bush and a tanked economy. Again, they could have run their most radical progressive and probably have won. • 1996 they won with an incumbent and a strong economy. • 2008 they won against the party that had tanked the economy. The fact that they did it with a black junior Senator says they could have probably run their most radical progressive and won. • 2012 they won with an incumbent and a strong economy. The Democrats have managed to elect Carter, Clinton and Obama in elections they would have had to try hard to lose. The Republicans did not run to the center with any of their candidates. What has that cost them? As I said, with all due respect to your father, I don't buy it. BTW, all of the post election polls showed that Bernie would have beaten Trump.

mcgeo52 replies on Sep 13, 2019:

@Paul4747, I never said that the planes had to hit an exact floor on either tower. I am saying that all three towers were rigged for demolition. Yes, it was an inside job that required the cooperation of the owner of the towers, and the company responsible for the security of the towers. Why would Larry Silverstein want his towers demolished? 1) They were in need of renovation but, because of all of the asbestos used in their construction, that would have been cost prohibitive. 2) They were fully insured, so he would get the money when they came down. They were actually doubly insured against a terrorist attack, and he was paid double. Why would the security company cooperate? 1) Silverstein told them to. 2) The owners of the company were in on the deal for their own reasons. Securacom, as the company was then known, was backed by the Kuwait-American Corp. The managing director at KuwAm, Wirt D. Walker III, was also a principal at Securacom, and Walker and Marvin Bush and are listed in SEC filings as significant shareholders in both companies during that period. In case you don't recognize those two names, Marvin Bush is W's younger brother and Wirt (his nickname for Herbert) Walker was his cousin. Through their holdings in defense contractors, the Bush/Walker family profited immensely from the two wars we were lied into based on 9/11. Call me a cynic, but when the money trail lines up that well with the physical evidence, I know what I am going to believe. Speaking of the money trail, there was also the matter of the $2.3 trillion dollars that Donald Rumsfeld announced on September 10, 2001 was unaccounted for in the Pentagon budget. The team in the Pentagon assigned to investigate the "shortfall" was in the office that took the direct hit on 9/11. Not to worry; there were offsite backup copies of everything. Care to guess where? You win the grand prize if said Tower 7. In short, there was more than enough motive and opportunity for an inside job.

@Paul4747 to use the quote you posted: ' Blast expert Allyn E. Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash and helped coordinate the emergency response. "It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," says Kilsheimer, CEO of KCE Structural Engineers PC, Washington, D.C. "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box." Kilsheimer's eyewitness account is backed up by photos of plane wreckage inside and outside the building. Kilsheimer adds: "I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts. Okay?"' 1) "I held in my hand the tail section of the plane." No. The tail section of the plane is bigger than him. No way he held it in his hand. 2) "I found the black box." No again. He was "he first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash." At around 3:40 a.m. on September 14, a paramedic and a firefighter who were searching through the debris of the impact site found two dark boxes, about 1.5 feet (46 cm) by 2 feet (61 cm) long. They called for an FBI agent, who in turn called for someone from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The NTSB employee confirmed that these were the flight recorders ("black boxes") from American Airlines Flight 77. Sorry, but I'm not buying the load of fertilizer you are selling.

@Marcie1974, I have talked with astronauts and have no reason to believe that we did not land on the moon. That did not require any violations of the laws of physics. On the other hand, the magic bullet theory required to explain the Warren Commission's version of JFK's assassination is completely absurd. I was not at all surprised when a Congressional inquiry concluded that the Warren Commission reported was not what happened. Believing that a tower designed to take the impact of a 747 was taken down by a 757 would be a major stretch. To believe that three towers, each designed to take the direct impact of a 747, could be taken down by two 757s is too much. I remember watching the two towers collapse and my initial reaction was, "This looks too much like controlled demolition." Then I watched the way Tower 7 came down and it was undoubtedly a classic demo job. Other than 9/11 there is no case ever of any steel framed skyscraper collapsing due to fire. Nor were there any cases of airplanes evaporating when they hit a building. To answer your question, I examine the evidence and decide whether or not to believe the official story. Believe it or not, the people in charge will lie if it benefits them.

@Paul4747, @Happy_Killbot, where is all of the evidence you claim exists? There is not a single video from over a dozen cameras that should have captured it. Where were the engines that were on the 757? Each of those was larger than the ambulance on the Pentagon lawn. Those things don't just evaporate. BTW, it wasn't the entire government. It was a small group of highly placed people who stood to profit from "a Pearl Harbor for our generation."

@Paul4747, to quote the article you posted re the Pentagon: "Why wasn't the hole as wide as a 757's 124-ft.-10-in. wingspan? A crashing jet doesn't punch a cartoon-like outline of itself into a reinforced concrete building, says ASCE team member Mete Sozen, a professor of structural engineering at Purdue University. In this case, one wing hit the ground; the other was sheared off by the force of the impact with the Pentagon's load-bearing columns, explains Sozen, who specializes in the behavior of concrete buildings. What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass. "If you expected the entire wing to cut into the building," Sozen tells PM, "it didn't happen."" So, one wing hit the ground??? The pictures of the lawn in front of the hole prove this theory is complete bullshit. Each of the wings either: a) went into the building, or b) were knocked off the fuselage and stayed outside the building, or c) didn't exist. Those are the only three choices other than "they evaporated", which didn't happen. We can rule out "a" since neither wing was found on the lawn. We can also rule out "b" since neither wing was found in the building. To put things in perspective , each wing had an engine attached to it that was larger than an ambulance and smaller than a fire truck. I use those two particular objects a references because they were clearly visible in pictures of the Pentagon lawn. Those engines had parts, made from alloys that would not simply evaporate, as large as that ambulance. Where are they???

How are these people not ashamed? Because the thing they value above all else is power. It may look like money, but they want that for the power it gives them. One of the great songwriters of the 20th Century was a Canadian named Stan Rogers. We tragically lost him when he was only 24 years old. Another brilliant songwriter, Eric Bogle, an Aussie originally from Scotland, wrote a tribute to Stan The song is "Safe In The Harbour". I mention this because I think part of one verse answers your question: And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers Take the gold from the sailors & turn it to dross They're men in a prison, they're men without vision Whose only horizon is profit and loss P.S. Spellcheck is dinging me for "Harbour", but if it was written by an Aussie for a Canadian, it is properly spelled with a "u". P.P.S. https://youtu.be/KmIATSdNNnk
