The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

My Samsung S8 Active, which Ive only had for a few montys, I was, and still, pretty happy as its the most up to date technology Ive ever had like this, yet already its obsolete enough to not be getting Android 10.

That's why my wife and I have Google phones. I'm tired of sucky hardware manufacturers refusing to pass along software updates.

You can preorder it in the outlet of your choice.

And of course it varies within a breed. Our last golden lived to 15 1/2, way beyond the usual and was spry until the last year or so when she was battling cancer.

True story......
@Rival went on a blind date to meet John.
They meet for haggis at the local diner.
After some small talk about politics, religion, & science, they get down to business.
Rival: Have you ever been married?
John: Yes. But it ended badly.
Rival: How so?
John: I murdered her & chopped her up into pieces.
Rival: Oh (excitedly), so you're single.

To not invade a liberal only thread - if Trump is a dictator, if he wants to stay and plans on it, why has he not seized the moment of the greatest opportunity he'll have to do that? But instead of doing when the time has never been better amd never will be better, he's dont the opposite so much to the extent he's critized for making the federal government too dectralized at a time when federal leadership amd oversight is needed most. He could so easily do it now. He does it in January he'll be looking at a sort of federal trespassing violation.

I remember right wingish friends worried that Obama would refuse
to leave office, staging a coup to seize power. The deep state, the
Muslims (including him), & the marxists were behind it.

They'll call it "False equivalency!", but people be crazy.

Are you talking about the thread about Trump's plan to stay in the White House even if he's not reelected? That reminded me of a TV movie from back in the 1970s called "Bad Ronald." It was about this guy who was living with his mother, but had to disappear because the cops were after him over the death of a girl in the neighborhood. His mother decided to board up one of the bathrooms and paint over it as if it was just a wall, hoping nobody would search or notice. Ronald was hiding in there the whole time. Well, the mother died and he was still living in there when a new family moved in, and he menaced them until he was finally caught.

Maybe Trump could do that. They could seal off some hidden room, and he could just stay in there. People would be told he mysteriously vanished, but he'd be in the White House the whole time.

It's not a false equivalency. But, I do think it is a good question to ask. If something like that were to happen, then what happens? Trump's basically **** out of luck given inauguration is really just a meaningless ceremony. His successor will become president, even if Trump wants to stand in front of the cameras and say no. He's not the president at that moment anymore. He's powerless.
For Trump it's now or never, but his entire presidency has been words and desires without ambition or indication he's going to be a dictator or not go. He's probably counting down the days until he doesnt have to deal with it at all anymore and hoping he really dose lose.

Could you hurry it up? If you do it know, you can fatten yourselves up on the fat ones just in time for einter hibernation. (You may wish to advise a bear you absolutely hate t go after Trump because even hacking at hin with your claws will risk toxic and instantly fatal, concentrated levels 9f pure fast food lard. Unless bears do the honorable suicide thing. Then his blood will surely.bring that desire.
