Hey everyone, long time no see.

Zorgon passed away?!?!?! 

John Lear apologized?!?!? 

Holy Moly!  What else have I missed?

My previous computer crashed and burned.  Literally.  Caught on fire and entire hard drive lost, including website addresses including here.  Up and running again, and now browsing the forum catching up.  Really shocked about Zorgon, what a nice guy.

wait, what? zorgon isn't with us anymore? i'm new here but used to post regularly on the old OM forum a decade ago. condolences to all.

The weather here in Portugal has been, as usual, more mild, but also very variable.

On the coronavirus front, two more suspected cases were detected in Portugal. The first two were not coronavirus infections, let's see what these two new cases are.

Perhaps they will be a false alarm also, ArMaP; you and your countrymen don't need a possible pandemic to deal with; none of us do, and hopefully won't have to...

Congratulations to President Donald John Trump and to the members of the senate for quickly ending this farce they are calling impeachment 

After Pelosi broke protocol with her half-assed introduction of the president at last night's state of the union address, then broke article 18 when she publicly ripped the speech in half, it was plain for all watching to see her as she truly is...

Article 18 should be enforced, which states she should get 3 years in prison and be disqualified from holding office for destruction of that document...

What does that article 18 say?

[The Seeker]

What does that article 18 say?

18 U.S. Code § 2071. Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally

(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

One look at how Pelosis district has fallen from grace, and how she has ignored the needs of her constituents to construct this house of madness, cries for her punishment and removal from office due to unethical, and blatantly partisan behavior..any other interpretation is one of derangement and blind hate for the orange man, clouding the thoughts of previously coherent individuals who now are in full on TDS mode.

Shameful at best, and yes, criminal at least.

update on china and coronavirus:

30,829 cases reported with 635 deaths so far



Doesn't look like the Chinese are making any headway against it so far
and there are cases being reported scattered around the world, with 12 in the US, 14 in Australia...

Thanks for that.

But I don't think her copy of the speech falls under the category of document referred to in the law.

But she surely is an idiot and didn't act as she should, she should at least act neutral, regardless of her opinions.
