Malice paired with incompetence; what a combo.
Thank goodness for baseball playoffs. But it will not erase the the erasure of the Rule of Law. Leadership???? More like Chief Cook and Saboteur.
Gonna get out of the house tomorrow and watch baseball at a favorite Irish pub in Waikiki. Sox/Yanks and Redlegs/Dodgers. And Fish & Chips. Difficult to find around these parts. (Thread drift, much? LOL.) And for all of you Red Sox fans:
Do your usual; keep complaining with a class.
Wait, what about the end of democracy?
Orange Disgrace has shown us that democracy is doomed when those in responsible positions do not act in good faith, or even actively work to sabotage democracy. Ye…
A 100% tariff on prescriptions which people (like myself) need cannot be dissembled about and minimized. Add to that, the fact that many postal services around the world have chosen to simply stop all shipments of packages into the U.S. Why? There …
Elwood: No, they don't have my address. I falsified my renewal. I used 1060 W. Addison.
Jake: 1060 W. Addison... That's Wrigley Field.
(Go straight in to 5:35.)
Ya, I resist spending down. Correct. So far, even with a small-ish chunk taken every January, it has been growing back--- and then some. Plus, I still add here and there in tiny amounts. The taxman has been kind. Anything is subject to change, but a…
Major networks are pre-censoring themselves. Murrow would be screaming. What happened with the Nazis and with Mussolini's crackdown on dissent did not happen overnight. It was gradual. Yesterday is not much different from today. But compare 1933 to …
Unnamed Individual #1 in the Muller (Mueller?) Report was the Orange Felon. Common Knowledge. Open Secret.
There was indeed Russian interference. Collusion could not be proven, airtight. So Mueller did not indict. Passed the report to DOJ. The DOJ…
As for me, I ride the bus. The newer busses come with all the latest "new and improved," hyper-vigilant, annoying, alarming, bullshit bells, whistles and ALARMS. The driver can be simply steering around a parked car, but the effing computer sends th…
A disaster of his own making. Court found the tariffs to be illegal, but granted him ample time to appeal. Feces. It's all of his making, but the rest of us have to pay. Is he dead yet?
26 Sept, '25.
Scarlet Fu again.
High Grade issuance in USA and Europe is at a record, this week. $197B in the States. This week, Junk issuance is at a record, $48B. Busiest week in 5 years. There is a borrowing boom, surely on the heels of the recen…
@Crash- if you watched PBS News Hour tonight (Friday) do you still think that there hasn't been a definite change in the tone of their reporting on the White House?
I was smiling. The news as it is doesn't need to be tilted or slanted in order for t…
...add this:
I heard first-hand from my friend in B.C. that they have just gained 35 new doctors who wish to move to Canada and flee all of the nonsense they had been putting up with in the States connected to our bullshit, rage-inducing, ball of …
Comey's timing re: Hillary's emails was really, extremely, utterly, dreadfully bad. But I believed his explanations were genuine.
Orange Flatulence has no case. This is junk.
@Old_Joe I watch PBS Newshour pretty regularly, almost every night. My impression is still that they are quite even-handed. You and I both noticed the point I made, above. They gotta fill airtime, of course.
Clearly, a big part of the Repugnant strategy since.... Ralph Reed, Ronny Ray-guns and Gingrich the Newt has been to hobble government, slice away at anything that might hold Big Money accountable. By now, Repugnant "leadership" has evolved to the p…
Friend is a schoolbus driver. He tells me the "security" camera was used to demerit a co-worker who was "caught" just momentarily closing his eyes AT A RED LIGHT. This whole business has gone way too effing far.
Yup. Come to think of it, I dunno why my 3 single-stocks have not been assigned negative beta! But they were up while all else in the portfolio was down. Overall, on 25th Sept, '25:
down by -0.29%.
Stuff can't go up in a straight line. Mr. Market c…
Watch this unpresidential, goofy, narcissistic, crazy-ass, unhinged, barking-mad, false, childish nonsense. Then I dare you to tell me the U.S.A. is not totally fucked under the Orange regime.
