Re: If Trump Goes to Jail

Sleepy Don has more of a chance of ending up in jail for violating his gag order than he does if convicted in any trial. Should he be found in contempt of the contempt order, no doubt he'd be put in a holding cell for a couple of days and would be isolated from the other prisoners for his safety. Th...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes

I don’t see this as a thing the market will handle. It’s supply and demand - there’s not enough supply of real estate to go around. They aren’t making any more.

Re: 1969 Draft

I had a draft number between 150 and 175 but I was in college and had a II-S deferment so as long as I was in college and passing I wasn't subject to the draft. One of the best things Nixon did was sign legislation ending the draft and the U.S. went to the All Volunteer force in 1973.

The problem with this ranking is the lack of objective criteria.
