That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
He hung with them but didn't participate. The media is twisting all over themselves because the emails say he was a frequenter but don't have pictures of him molesting a child. So, it's kinda like me. I went to the pub with them but didn't drink all…
I predict that SCOTUS will adjust the circumstance such that they delay their ruling pending a change in logic and laws that the President's lawyers use as a reason for the tariffs. I'll go further. I expect a SCOTUS write up that clearly outlines w…
@DrVenture Ah, I get it now. Thanks. I myself never figured out whether I supported the filibuster or not. It does seem to moderate the government, but should the majority elected by the people be moderated? For example, the court appointments.
She's headed for Supreme Court (or at least she thinks she is) where it has been proved that low character favors decisions that ignore the law and Constitution.
Maybe the retaliation for the US vote in 2020 is planned bring down of the entire US population. MAGA may just be a nice sounding con. Who really knows?
.... This is a very interesting read from 2015. Mass deportations will absolutely accelerate the problems with population decline.

We are probably about to learn that our devout Christians on the Supreme Court don't get a rats about whether Americans eat much less get to have a say in how their tax money and tariffs are spent.
I keep having visions of a 95-yr old orange blob still lounging around in the WH while American citizens, a quarter of which are now homeless and hungry, keep sending in the tax money to fund the DeUnited Sovereign Wealth Fund OR ELSE. (Give me the …
“After I posted in the inflation & other thread, the post seemed to disappear completely. So, I re-wrote and reposted. Then the original post appeared (5 minutes later) and so I deleted the first. Currently @Old_Joe’s excellent thread on prices…
@msf I hear you. But I tend to keep thinking about young people starting out and forming a family while facing job disruptions and high housing costs. Also, from what I can see the direction of the country safety net is headed, they will need to hav…
Even though more of the federal money comes from blue states. I perceive red states rely on the richer states, which tend blue, for a high return on their tax revenue investment. I guess that return will just have come from the federal debt clock fo…
So, if you follow the money trail. 30% of tariff increases has passed to the consumer and, I guess, that means 70% has passed to shareholders of the sellers even if those shareholders are just small business owners? What's a proper share split of a …

@Anna, in Texas?!?!
No, in Washington State but I imagine there is a lot of the same sentiment in Texas right now. In WA, like OR, we have been targetted for our Blue shores, especially reports of ICE endangering previously calm waves. WA DC not hap…
The people across the street just put up a big poster on their fence that says "Make Lying Wrong Again". I'm thinking they probably used it in the No-Kings March.
I got the same email. Since I already have both login.gov and id.me accounts, I didn't worry about the email. I just logged into ssa.gov and looked around. I already set my communications to non-paper and didn't see anything new or needing attentio…
Well, once you shutdown the government and arrange a tarrif to Argentina laundering service, there isn't much left to do to entertain yourself. Maybe the second terms are endless retirement parties.
