Embattled former congressman Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his bid to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general on Thursday, said in an interview Friday that he doesn’t intend to return to his House seat in the next con…
Don't even get me started. My favorite phrase lately, when challenging some automated system's error: "How many other people's jobs do I have to do in order to get this thing accomplished?"
Not the US. Hamas, yes. Bibi, no. Despicable and unspeakable, what's going on. The Israeli cabinet is saying the quiet part out loud, by now: annexation.
Well, night and day. We see the world utterly differently. More's the pity. I'm no Dem. They seem not only inept to me, they have some crazy Woke agendas, too. Yet the Repugnants did not become repugnant to me for no reason: no soul. No rudder. No e…
Yes, I see what you mean. Yet he was elected, and will be inaugurated. The Founding Fathers surely figured that voters would not be feckless and spineless enough to elect (again!) a twice-impeached, convicted FELON. So, they did not disqualify crimi…
What bothers me the most is the local station bumping their prices overnight when the price of crude oil goes up. Their gas in the grounds is the same gas as yesterday
lovely, wonderful capitalism, eh?
My midstream (LP) holding ET was on a tear tod…
.....Now the fields are populated. The thing APPEARS to be working. It was late updating one of my funds PRFDX today. I noted that at another of my watchlists at M* with which I track the $$$ I'm babysitting for someone else, the updated number appe…

Well.
Bitcoin and all cryptocurriencies are by definition subversive, unpatriotic. Undercutting the value of real, actual LEGAL TENDER. ---Charlie Munger. (R.I.P.)
Where's the value? The product? The service provided? ---Warren Buffett.
"...but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”
Because daddy is a nutjob and a lousy driver?
I became familiar with Cheryl Hines in her role as Tommy's wife in the "Rescue Me" series. I wonder how SHE'S reacting to Trump-world? I heard she w…
Interesting that Chang won't address the uselessness and perversion caused by the existence of the EC.
...Kennedy is just nuts. Conspiracy theories. Anti-vax. When we were kids, we were not asked if we wouldn't mind taking the polio and tb vaccine…
About frikkin' time, uncle Joe. Too little, too late. And you've been disastrous with the Gaza thing too, Joey. Way past time to hold Israel accountable, ever since 1967, when the Occupation began. Actually, forced displacements of native resident P…
We'll never be rid of the ridiculous Electoral College. A useful anachronism the Repugnant Party relies upon so that the minority can rule the majority. Not always, but it's happened. GWB, DJT. And Rutherford B. Hayes vs. Tilden. What a hairy mess. …
