    Hi Keith, Re: One who did nothing as a politician. I realize that you are just one vote. I doubt that your vote made any difference in your state. Sort of, just like me in my state. However, to say that she did nothing is IMO wrong. Might you tell us just what Trump did in his 4 yrs in office; 2017-2021? Every bill that he signed was put in front of him & he signed them. I seriously doubt that he understood anything that was in those bills. IMO Trump is a very small-brained person. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: Electrical engineers do something. And, this retired Mech Engr has done a few things. Guess I didn't make the cut.

    Hi Keith, Re: I have every right to vote the way I want I never said anything about THAT. I did say IMO. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Re: This brings us to two of our most famous illegal immigrants - Elon Musk and Melania Trump. As I was reading your post, I just knew this was where you were headed. Bravo, sir! Jerry Baumchen PS) So, why hasn't the MAGA-right demanded we deport them both?

    Hi folks like Biden was 'replaced' long before the first debate: New book on Biden by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson reports a ‘cover-up’ about his decline Jake Tapper Faces Backlash Over New Book on Biden's Cognitive Decline - Newsweek Wonder when they'll do a book about the current incompetent?

    Hi folks, Now we are getting into some real numbers: 71 percent of voters who backed Trump said cutting Medicaid would be unacceptable 71 percent of Donald Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts: Poll You get what you voted for. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, This idiot simply does not understand how things work: Rollins said she was “confident” that the firing of probationary federal employees and efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce wouldn’t negatively affect USDA. USDA rolls out $1 billion plan to combat bird flu after egg prices rise • Oregon Capital Chronicle That's what you get when your only criteria is obedience. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, No matter how one measures it: IMO she was a far better choice than Trump. IMO in 2024 voting for anyone other than Harris or Trump was the same as not voting at all. A meaningless gesture, nothing else. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, OK, what has Trump accomplished? Other than conning just about everyone he has ever come in contact with. Jerry Baumchen PS) I've constantly said that Harris would not be/was never my first choice. But, compared to Trump, she is a great choice.

    Hi dogyks, Re: Clinton is more charming I've never met him; so, cannot really comment. Although, back in the 90's, he came to Portland and one of our secretaries went to the airport to greet him. She said that he was very charming. Re: Trump, however, is neither an Attorney nor a Democrat. Care to expand on that? And, Trump first ran for the presidential nomination as a Dem. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyhks, I have no love for Bill Clinton; however, he did not fake a TIME cover to focus on himself. So, what do you think of the $5M Gold Card? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like they cannot wait to get in line to lick his boots: A Republican lawmaker says he’s working on legislation to create a $250 bill featuring a portrait of President Donald Trump. Trump’s face on money? Lawmaker to propose $250 bill with president on it - oregonlive.com It would be about as legal as when Trump created a fake TIME magazine cover with his face on it. Jerry Baumchen PS) Personally, I think they should put his face on toilet paper; now, that would really sell.

    Hi dogyks [ & John K ], Well, I've tried & tried to find a source that P T said if first, and cannot. -> My bad The most of the sources that I have found are similar to: The phrase is usually attributed to American showman P.T. Barnum. Then I found this: Whether Barnum actually used either of these expressions is controversial. Rochester Institute of Technology professor Nicholas DiFonzo described in his 2008 book The Watercooler Effect, that Barnum’s biography could not verify this attribution at all. Rather, it was likely that a banker named David Hannum from Syracuse, New York who actually said it. I'll try to remember that. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Only the unknowing think otherwise. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyks, Sorry, but it was Barnum who said it first; not Falwell. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Reagan said a recession was when your neighbor lost his job; and, a depression was when you lost your job. Jerry Baumchen PS) In one of the many, many studies of combatants post-WW II, it was found that the first emotional reaction, when the guy next to you got killed, was happiness.

    Hi Bill, Just give it some more time; there are going to be a lot of Americans who will face this question: Aren't you glad you voted for Trump? Just wait until harvest time this Spring. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, I've been around a little longer than you & could not agree more. The real con is that so many GOP candidates [ think Reagan first ] campaigned on reducing the debt. Let us not forget what P. T. Barnum told us, 'There is a sucker born every minute.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rich, Do you mean 'Rather red than dead?' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, If they had done any thinking, they would have expected this. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Biil, Aren't You Glad You Voted For Trump - Speakers Corner - Skydiveforum.com Once a con man, always a con man. Re: Trump cuts vital services keeping Americans alive. Does anyone here think Trump cares about keeping Americans alive? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, That'll teach her to be a woman. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, As I continue to say: The American voter is uninformed & prefers to stay that way. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, That was how Reagan did it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: how the military may be reluctant to disobey illegal orders Hegseth [ Trump ] is replacing generals right & left. I am very sure the new people will not consider those to be illegal orders. Ever hear someone say, 'I have thoroughly reviewed that document,' when you know they have only read the first three pages? Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: Maybe “Checks and Balances” is the new “Thoughts and Prayers” Welcome to the World of Trump 2.0.
