Do you really expect a fast food franchise with a high employee turnover rate to keep employee records from 40 years ago?

Well, it was the Cold War. They were obligated to keep up with all of the US tests of weapons that don't exist, weren't they?https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/a-timeline-of-russias-nuclear-threats-against-the-west-947Here is a big scary list of all the times Russia tested weapons that don't exist and then, unsurprisingly, tested them.
Here's a big scary list of all the times Russia has brought up using weapons that don't exist and then, unsurprisingly, not using them.

Ah, yes, of course. The government of the Soviet Union. Well renowned for their trustworthiness and guile. How could I possibly claim they made something up? It's impossible.

We know that hundreds of people are trying to beat world records, and there are even yearly races around Antarctica (which we are often pointed to, but the details are rarely discussed). This represents the best boat, so your arguments are pretty invalid.Most of also know that many world records, including circumnavigation records, have any number of categories based on the particular type of craft and crew size, so context matters. Picking one record and saying that the rest don't matter is nothing more than cherry picking.
Not only is the Antarctic circumnavigation a shorter distance on a RE than the distance circumnavigation around a RE (or 21,600 miles), but it is known that the winds are anomalously fast in the Southern Hemisphere. A number of quotes can be found which suggest that the winds in the South are of an anomalous nature as compared to the North. They become more anomalous as you travel Southward:Not anomalous, just different. Given the uneven heating mentioned in your BBC quote and the fact that, except for the southern part of South America and New Zealand, there is little to no land mass between 40 degrees and 65 degrees south latitude to get in the way, one should expect the prevailing winds in the south to be significantly faster than in the north.
I mean, they can eat all the dogs and cats they want, as far as I am concerned.Would you be concerned if someone ate your favorite pet?
I have not either, but a friend of mine did go there. Surprise, he went to voodoo ritual and what did they do? Killed a cat, drank its blood.Even if that's true, that is not evidence that it occurred in Springfield.
A lot of cultures eat dogs. It is normal for them.
Okay? "Trump did wrong thing, therefore they can do wrong thing too" is not a very rational thought process, markjo."Trump did the wrong thing" is why the nonprofit organization representing the Haitian immigrants who have legal status is filing criminal charges against Trump, even if the local authorities won't.
As if Trump hasn't been fund raising to pay his legal bills for years.What personal profit? It’s a criminal case being filed, not a civil one.
They're baiting donations for a cause they know has no chance of succeeding.
Trump and Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, are charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity.
I think it can be inferred that the prosecutor told them to get bent and they decided to scam gullible people like yourself into thinking they have a case when they obviously do not.Take another look at the aftermath of them doubling and tripling down on their lies and tell me that they didn’t do anything wrong.
You should not be cheering on attempts to waste justice system resources in the pursuit of personal profit just because you don't like Trump.What personal profit? It’s a criminal case being filed, not a civil one.
Did you even read the article?I did read the article and I didn't see where the local prosecutor said anything of the sort. Just because there was no action doesn't mean that Trump and Vance didn't do anything wrong.QuoteThe Haitian Bridge Alliance made the move after inaction by the local prosecutor
The local prosecutor told them what Trump did isn't against the law.
There is zero chance of this even making it past a prosecutor's desk, let alone holding up in court. Everything Trump and Vance have said is one hundred percent protected by the First Amendment.Defamation is not protected speech.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The leader of a nonprofit representing the Haitian community invoked a private-citizen right to file charges Tuesday against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, over the chaos and threats experienced by Springfield, Ohio, since Trump first spread false claims about legal immigrants there during a presidential debate.
The problem here is that "assault weapons" is a nebulous term that doesn't mean anything. Politicians usually use it to refer to AR-15 style weapons. AR-15 style weapons are a tiny portion of violent crime, but a large portion of gun owners. It's for this reason that gun owners on the right make such a fuss about it, and I think that reason is plain: the vast majority (read: >99%) of AR-15 owners have done nothing wrong.I think that the reason that the left makes such a fuss about it is that AR style weapons are a significant portion of mass shootings. So yeah, a tiny minority of mass murderers are ruining it for the vast majority of responsible gun owners.
She doesn't have a gun, but her secret service detail does.What? But Democrats hate guns! This must be a trick! I bet she doesn't even own a gun! She's a liar!QuoteHarris to Oprah: Anyone Breaking Into My House Is ‘Getting Shot’
Vice President Kamala Harris said she is in favor of the Second Amendment at a campaign event with Oprah Winfrey. “If somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris said.
Nice. I've never heard Trump saying anything this amazing.

But please feel free to quote his comments that show he would not be Trump's loyal lapdog.Do you mean like these quotes from before he became Trump's loyal lapdog?
This "assassination attempt" looks even faker than the Miracle Ear one, not buying it.It wasn't an assassination attempt. He was just making sure that the Secret Service detail was on the ball after the Butler rally fiasco.
Why do they insist on giving Democrats so much ammunition?Because they know that Democrats are rarely able to properly take advantage of it.
