If my schools did, I wasn't aware of it. Quite possible there was a basement designated for it though.

There's no shame in being beaten by the best.

My wife is several years younger than me, and I just caught the tail end of the Cold War.

The other day, we saw the end of WarGames on TV, and she just doesn't understand how real that possibility was to us. I never did duck and cover drills, but it definitely felt like nuclear war was a real possibility. It's also interesting how just a few years changed so much.

Yeah, my wife is Catholic; we had two options for wedding. The 1 hour ceremony, or the 40 minute ceremony (I think the difference is serving communion). That was it. I don't think we could have gotten a 3 hour ceremony even if we'd wanted it; they need the church for other things.

I saw an analysis of results in deep-blue Arizona cities where there were quite a few people who voted for Trump...then Democrat down the rest of the ballot.

It's not hard evidence, but it's suspicious. The problem the US has is that the winners are quite okay with winning at any cost and don't see a problem, even if the win was stolen.

If he takes all of his cronies with him, that'd be great.

You seem to post a lot of incorrect information.

In the US system of government, the President's power is supposed to be checked by Congress and the Supreme Court. In other words, you're not giving supreme executive power to just one person. Unfortunately since Republicans practically always do what Trump wants, we've lost that check.

I mean, what are the odds the ship might shake? One in a million. Practically impossible!
