Why doesn't DOGE look into how much it costs the taxpayers for his golf outings?

And this surprises you in what way?

I can't speak to the others, but I like Rick Astley and for the life of me, with his voice, I can't understand why he was never a bigger entertainer.

Maybe the loopholes that need to be closed are the ones that allow million/biilionaires to avoid paying taxes.  You know, the ones that the middle-lower classes don't get.

How do you think those white people in S. Africa got "their" land?  They stole it from the Africans!  Pretty much the same way as the white people in the US stole land from the Native Americans and forced them onto reservations.

My bills are all over the place.  Last month, it was $187.21.  The month before, it was $255.38.  The month before that was $225.52.  Until last month, I was changing the temp depending on how cold I was - somewhere between 68-72....  moreMy bills are all over the place.  Last month, it was $187.21.  The month before, it was $255.38.  The month before that was $225.52.  Until last month, I was changing the temp depending on how cold I was - somewhere between 68-72.  Then I decided to lower the thermostat to 66 all the time and that's how my bill lowered to $187.21.    

What address?  They are UNINHABITED islands.  Do you understans what uninhabited mean?  NO ONE LIVES THERE OTHER THAN PENGUINS AND OTHER WILDLIFE.

So, you don't mind misleading others.  Got it.

“It’s such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term: groceries. It sort of says a bag with different things in it,” Trump said at a White House event on Wednesday, where he discussed his massive new tariffs. “Groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that. I talked about the word ‘groceries’ for a lot.”
Trump has had an odd fixation with the word ― and an even odder fixation with the notion that it’s somehow an uncommon or “old-fashioned” word.He mentioned it last week as “like an old-fashioned word, but it’s a beautiful word, a very descriptive word.” At a different event last week, he called it “like an old-fashioned word, but really it’s not, and ...    less

Not everyone on here is from CA.  Of course, if your intent is to mislead folks to that drop by, then keep uop the good work.

No need.  All they have to do is come to Congress after a session with a shovel and barrels.

"According to the Trump administration’s list, it will be imposing a 10% reciprocal tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands—an external Australian territory a little less than 1,000 miles north of Antarctica.


According to an informational guide to the islands on an Australian government website, they are considered to be “one of the wildest and remotest places on Earth.”

Context, context.  Did you fail to mention that these high tariffs apply only AFTER an import quota has been reached for a specific exporter.  Either tell the whole story or don't tell any of it.

Hi.  Good to see you back here - I've missed you.  Hope you're healing wel.

A lunch at the house of one of my nieces where she told us she was pregnant with her first child.  :)

It's actually sad that anyone would think FOX is the only reliable news source.- sad 

The only thing Trump is liberating the middle and lower classes from is their money.

Too bad he didn't aim higher.

I would not be able to represent myself in a court as an adult if I wadn't fluent in the language.  I can't imagine how bad things must be for a parent to send a child off alone to another country.

Mr. Goldberg posted the entire chat.  About what did he lie?  

If Trump wants to copensate the Jan. 6 rioters, he can do it out of his own pocket.  This isn't something for which the taxpayers should foot the bill.  

Much like you, I am center left when it comes to social issues and center right when it comes to financial issues.  I think most people are somewhere in the middle, but the two extremes are louder so they get more attention.

How's this for examples of competency in this administration?

Sorry to hear that and hope the surgery goes well.  You need to get a laptop so you can take it wherever you are.

Couldn't agree more.

I agree and I wouldn't blame them.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:


“So, you voted to build a wall.


Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.


And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.'
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.

Interesting link.  Basically, there re good and bad points in whichever stance you take, but the real goal is to wind up somewhere in the middle, which is probably where most voters are, irrespective of their party affiliation.  

No, you did not define it.  You skirted the issue because you really don't know what constitutes being "woke" or "extreme leftism."  You merely parrot what Trump tells youi to think.  End of discussion because it's a fruitless to waste of my time.

Exactly.  Fortunately, I have other income sources, so if my Soc. Sec. doesn't come in, I won't be earing cat food, but I'm sure there are a lot of folks who aren't in my position.

Recent data shows that the brand’s sales have seen major drops in markets around the world.

So youi freely use a phrase that you can't define.  Got it.

I would like to know what YOU consider extreme leftist positions.

Mine are automatically deposited also.  That, however, doesn't mean that DOGE or Musk or Trump can't decide to stop those payments.  

Pretty much. :)

Define "extreme leftist ideology."

Define "woke."

 Not a problem because there will be no one to pick anything they would grow anyway.
