I don't know where this crack head has been for the last few years but his presence is strong evidence that someone opened up the asylums and this clown was let back into society!! tongue
Well, Dodgeball, we know you aren't a people person, but to disparage someone from posting here is just like something your saint and savior Donald trump would do. I think Trump's an asshole and to paraphrase the orange hued MF'er you is what you is.

I was out visually observing at a dark site so I missed it. You guys do know how to use a telescope, right, since this is an astronomy website and Herb sells telescopes?

Fox News liked it.

"The 77-year-old nominee usually has a folksier style, but his dead-serious demeanor seemed an effort to project strength and determination. It was a speech that drew high marks from Fox News panelists as well as gushing praise from MSNBC’s liberal crew. Even those who don’t like Joe, or don’t like his plans to raise taxes on the rich or spend big on climate change, saw a superlative effort (and good speechwriters)."

Trump: Boycott Goodyear!

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Hi Jim, Darian, and everyone. else. I had a good night. We've had just the absolute best weather this summer, although this was my first time out since the solstice. Why I usually go observing on the solstice is beyond me. Here in the far west of the eastern time zone it doesn't get dark enough to see DSO's until at least 11:30 on the solstice. Last night I got started an hour earlier at a dark sky preserve 70 miles SW of the Detroit lightdome. I gave it a good three hours with my dob and saw a ton of globulars(some new ones I hadn't seen before), and all of the eye candy nebulae and clusters in the MW. Every August I have a personal challenge object trying to see the central star in M57 when it's near the zenith and I mostly fail but the seeing and transparency was good enough last night that I did see it, although it was fleeting. Doing that in a 14.5" anywhere is impressive, doing it in Michigan is a big deal. I would have gone all night but I had to work today.

Yeah, it was as big as a beachball. I had in a 3-6 Nagler zoom set at 3mm giving me @ 620x. That's very rare to get up to that magnification in Michigan.

QAnon Conspiracy Theories

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I was on my normal morning route and was driving along Lake St. Clair on Lakeshore Dr. through the Grosse Pointe's and was passed by a women in a military style jeep. She looked like she could kick my ass and Richard's, too, and the whole rear of the SUV was covered in QAnon bumper stickers with some of their believes out there for the world to see. She was pretty far out there and don't think she was from the local area neighborhood I was driving through.

Probably from up in the thumb, that's where McVeigh and that other guy involved in the OKC federal building bombing were from. This broad was tough looking, I didn't want to piss her off.

I get on Jefferson at 9 mile, I go that way if I 94 is backed up or if I just need a nice drive with nice scenery to clear my head.

Continue to be a bully and he will probably be gone.

Get a life.  tongue
I have a great life. My grandkids are coming over today to swim and hang out. I went observing this week and the weather has been spectacular here in Michigan. 

You just don't know when to stop. Keep writing your 5000 word screeds and no one except your slappies will read them.

Clearly, Trump did not say that, however, he did suggest that we should look into injecting disinfectants as a cure for COVID-19. My point was that even the truth is still a sad commentary on the man.

The irony in all of this though, is that you take a sanctimonious position and hold yourself up as some defender of truth and rationality, when in fact, no one on this forum has engaged in more hyperbole, name-calling, deceitfulness, and general skullduggery than yourself. You are in no position to hold anyone else to account for participating in a little overstatement and making claims that are exaggerated on purpose or out of frustration. At current content rates, you are, without a doubt, the most prolific poster on this forum, not only in the sheer number of posts but content as well. And most of it is conspiracy theory nonsense, childish name-calling, and bullying, misinformation and speculation, and opinion that you always confuse with facts. Even if you were to stop posting entirely today, it would take the second-most prolific content producer here several years to even begin to catch up with you. Most of us would take a decade or more. So, forgive us if we occasionally get frustrated because the current occupant of the White House is an incompetent child who is incapable of carrying out the duties of his office adequately. Hopefully, the national nightmare of having a textbook narcissistic sociopath in the office of the POTUS will end November 3rd.
You're wasting your time trying to make Dodgeball Davis understand anything. He is what he is.
