@Crash. The military. They swear an oath, to uphold the constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. So what are they waiting for? Seriously,,, I would bet many of the officers are careerists. If a West Point grad doesn’t leave after 5 year…
Will it (sadly) come down to local Law Enforcement and the military FINALLY refusing to do the Orange one's bidding? A coup, sort of, in order to stop the ORANGEcoup from within...?
...hurts the public's trust in our institutions.... Seems that's been one of the goals since they started. Orange Boss has a boss, too: his uncle Vlad.
"...He said that no more documents would be released..." Motherlover. The CRIMINAL Orange regime.
"Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday the DOJ was not releasing the rest of the more than 6 million total pages that have been identified a…
After he left I discovered he had installed a blocker in the cable that prevented my recording any future programs - try as I might.
We are surrounded by slimebags and fart-sniffers, eh?
West Wing had THE best writers! And a marvelous cast. I recall some guest stars who showed up for just a few or several shows. One was the Protagonist in "Weeds." I roared laughing at those episodes. MARY LOUISE PARKER. So full of physical pulchritu…
Morning rituals? I get up at the crack of noon. Two cups of coffee. Sometimes Starbucks in the coffee maker, sometimes Keurig. My wife does the buying. After the third day, the leftover stuff is thick as syrup. Just right. Take it hot and black. ("…
...With the ballooning $38 trillion dollars deficit...
Confused here. I thought the Big Obscene Bill was going to raise the deficit over 10 years to $7.1 trillion.
Which is a doubling of the current state of affairs? (July, '25.) So we were told, e…
Leo McGarry was Chief of Staff, I recall. The Veep on the show was, according to the script, not well liked. But a fine actor; he was one of the student clowns on the road-trip in Animal House!

The Orange regime continues to flood the zone with all sorts of varied illegal, shocking, norm-busting, unconstitutional junk. The news we see or hear can get only so much of it across. There are only so many hours in a day. Today I learned that the…
It would be interesting to know exactly how the U.S. dollar impacted performance.
@Crash,
I was able to access this article via Mark's link.
Thank you. Got it now.

Bondi also wants the voter’s record from Governor Walz. So her ICE agents go shoot those who voted non-GOP. She acts like an enforcer in the mob.
Hawaii is not complying. Voter rolls do not belong in the possession of this criminal suck-hole Ora…
We literally can not take any statements or claims made by this administration at face value.
Proven time and time again - on a daily basis, I would say. No legitimacy.
You said it better than I'd have done.
@Mona ya, I suppose that was smart, economically. China and the EU. But Modi is heavy-handed, squashing dissent and limiting human rights. I can't put money in India or China, Russia, Belarus, Israel.... The usual suspects. And these days, a tin pot…
FBP has lately been too volatile for me. Last week it was up over 7% in a day. Then, splat, way down. And today? Up +5.22%. I am indeed in the black here, but these gyrations have brought me to a decision: when I reach a 10% profit, I'll be out. I'm…
