They could have walked in draped in flags and whistling yankee-doodle-dandy, it still wouldn't have changed his mind about any one of them. Then he'd probably be pointing out how disrespectful they were to the flag.

Where did you hear that they didn't want flags at the debate? Aren't the debate stages set up by the TV networks that broadcast them so it may not be all up to the candidates. The democrats may not believe in the America you or I may want, but it's to their benefit to stand behind the American flag and I don't think most democrats would say that they don't wouldn't want to stand by it. See the video below of Hillary's speech at the 2016 Democratic convention. Tell us that you aren't seeing any American flags there?? You may not think she represents what America should be, but obviously plenty of others do.

Are mountain lions the “cat” in “Catskills”? Unclear. Leslie T. Sharpe in The Quarry Fox: And Other Critters of the Wild Catskills considered the question. The mountain range was apparently named after the creek, but how the creek got its name is lost. Did an early settler see a mountain lion drinking from its waters one day? Or more likely, a bobcat? I'm getting a kick out of this paragraph in the link. A settler seeing a mountain lion drinking from a creek? It was more likely the settler drinking some sort of spirit from a jug when he saw that cat!! LOL

As usual you see it only from your perspective. Both sides are obstructionists. If you think they aren't then you are letting your bias blind you. Trump is the instigator-in-chief, if if it wasn't Russia or impeachment he would have rattled the cage in some other way to bring the focus of the attention to himself. That is what he wants way more then finding solutions to a real problem like healthcare in this country. Look at it this way, if Trump don't do anything to address healthcare, sooner or later we will once again have a democrat/liberal in office and then they will take matters into their hands just like Obama tried to do. I'm sure many of you will not like what they will have in mind. Bush Jr. didn't do anything to address the rising cost of healthcare and that then led to Obamacare. The same or worse will happen with Trump not addressing matters now. Healthcare is a very real problem, costs are getting high and it won't be long before employers won't even provide it just as pension plans have become a thing of the past. Ignoring it WON'T fix the problem.

One of Trumps campaign promises was that he would dismantle Obamacare and fix the healthcare system because in his words it was a "disaster". Without giving specifics he claimed that he would fix the system like never before and that everyone would have affordable insurance. What has he done to fix it? I know that my insurance rates are going up every year just the same as under Obama and the coverage I get for the high cost gets worse every year also. Maybe Obama's idea sucked but Trump has done nothing so far to help fix it like he promised. Maybe if he didn't waste as much time on the petty fights, nonsense, and tweeting in the middle of the night he might find some free time to address the issue.

Why were you so shocked? Just because you haven't gotten into accidents don't mean they can't happen no matter how safely we drive. With all the cars on the road these days and with all the reckless drivers, either incompetent, drunk, high or texting while they're driving chances are good something might happen sooner or later. i would say no more than $5K in damages and no way that car should get totaled.

I'll let you look up the Helsinki news conference where Trump downplays American intelligence and said he believes Putin as just one example. Trump has been kissing Putin's butt long before he got elected. Trump has an affinity for corrupt individuals. How many respectable people have you heard say nice things about Trump after having worked for him? Like the saying goes, if a person gets thrown out of a bar once or twice, it might be the bars fault. If one gets thrown out 50 times it probably the person who is the problem.

Yeah, Trump is supposed to be so anti-communist yet he would sooner pal around and give accolades to Putin than he would to a leader of one of our allies. Go figure that one out? Trump throughout his life preferred to pal around with the dirty tricksters (i.e Roger Stone) and then he is supposed to be the one to drain the swamp? That's laughable. The folks he likes to deal with and pardons are as bad as any he wants to drain from the swamp.

Jeez, I'd be afraid to pick that turkey up if it were still flopping around after I shot it. Might gouge my eyes out! LOL

If you think there aren't nasty things going on in a good percentage of restaurants of any ethnic persuasion I've got some news for you.

OK, maybe he can get you to convince her.

When one has a wife and kids it's not all about yourself and your own interests. Like others have said, cruise ships are famous for spreading virus' amongst passengers, so right now may not be a good time to go.

I guess I'm kind of slow, so I too just learned about a new holiday I never knew about here on the forum! Isn't March 14 the same day as Culver's QDMA banquet? Damn, the fellas attending might miss out. Don't know if potentially winning a rifle would make up for it??

I wouldn't care if my son was 15 or 35. He'd get a good, firm kick in the butt from me if he ever got a tattoo like that. Possibly several good kicks.

I always tell my wife and kids that I don't need or want any material gifts. The best gift they could give me is to just leave me the hell alone at least for a little while once in a while!

You will have two arrogant, pompous dumbass know it all's from different sides of the political spectrum in the same room together. There will be plenty of hot air spewed. Hopefully no one lights a match or the white house might explode. With that said, I wish that the Fed's would be waiting for Cuomo at the door of the white house to cuff and arrest him for violating federal law by harboring illegal immigrants in his state and even issuing them drivers licenses. It is time that Federal law be followed by these sanctuary states and cities and someone needs to be made an example of. What is the purpose of establishing national laws if various state and cities won't follow them? It would be great if we had a more honest president in the white house at the moment to enforce such laws. It would carry much more weight than someone like Trump enforcing them who himself wouldn't bat an eye at ignoring laws.

My kids are still fairly young, but if I get wind that they got a tattoo or want one while under my roof I will NOT be a happy camper to say the least.

I have yet to run in into all these women hunters. There may be a few out there that will tag along with their husbands or boyfriends but the numbers aren't high from what I can tell. A 30% decrease from 1 million male hunters can be a significant number, but a 30% increase from a small population of existing women hunters is not very significant. We are still at a considerable net loss in total hunters.

I am not a dog owner but I have observed that many who own pit bulls or these more aggressive breeds aren't exactly gentle pussycats themselves. Put an idiot together with an aggressive type dog and you are looking at a dangerous combination.

Wait until Pygmy chimes in with the seventh thing he did to a beaver last night! LOL

Maybe you can get Trump to walk thru the woods with you? Enough Orange there to protect you, yet you wouldn't have to wear it yourself.

Well, I would think that those like you who have such little faith in humanity would take that little extra measure of precaution to protect yourself from them. I too, don't have much faith in others so wearing some orange is a no brainer for me. I could still get shot, but maybe for some blockhead my wearing orange might prevent him from pulling the trigger.

We need to put you up against forum member Blackbeltbill for the HuntingNY.com championship. A cage match might be appropriate.

I didn't read anyone say that hunting for coyotes should be stopped. All some of us are saying is that they will never be wiped out no matter what some of the "experts" here think. Add to this that there are less hunters out there every year even for the popular game animals like deer and turkey and people have less time to devote to hunting in general so does anyone realistically think that these coyote contests or the relatively few who do hunt coyotes on their own will ever put a significant hurting on them?? I have mighty little confidence that they will. This pretty much sums up my thoughts on this subject.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do know Jack. He's a good friend of mine.
