  1. Hi Joe, Well, we could always bring Hillary back as Sec of State. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi John, There has been a fair amount of posting on here about how Putin is controlling Trump and hoping that the US will become a lesser power; all to the advantage to Russia. I think that should the US become less powerful, Russia would regret it as China would become the most dominant nation; and to Russia's detriment. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Robert, I can still remember when Ford said that & thought it such a powerful statement. I think Joe Biden should put it into his Inauguration Speech because we need it now just as much as we needed it then, if not more. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Phil, For a number of years now, I have felt that an overall ( everybody, no exceptions ) tax increase of 1/2 % and dedicated ONLY to the national debt would help us out of this mess. Do it for 10-15 yrs and we would look a lot better financially. IMO a 1/2 % increase would barely be noticed. I am not an economist and I could be completely wrong in my thinking. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi folks, I like the looks of this even if it is 94 days to go: 'Right now, our model thinks Joe Biden is very likely to beat Donald Trump in the electoral college.' https://projects.economist.com/us-2020-forecast/president Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi folks, 'Influential Trump Ally Now Demands His Re-Impeachment' 'After voting for President Trump in 2016 and staunchly defending him in conservative publications, a Federalist Society leader appears to be having some very public buyer's remorse.' https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897724197/citing-election-delay-tweet-influential-trump-ally-now-demands-his-re-impeachmen Time to get some popcorn & pull up the easy chair; this is going to be fun to watch. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Bill, They made the decision(s) to lay down with the devil. IMO it serves them right. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi John, Good one; took me a moment to figure it out. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Wendy, Of all of the times that I have voted, this year will be the easiest choice. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi Robert, Well, it could be that he just does not know. Jerry Baumchen * Come on, make up your mind. :)
  11. Hi heels, Typical of Faux News, speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Hmmm, now who else does that? Could it possibly someone who gets their news from Faux? Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi heels, Well, the dumb SOB has now said he wants it moved up. * It's like being on the end of a yoyo: “I wish we would move it up. Move it up.” https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/31/trump-greatest-election-disaster-2020-389712 Jerry Baumchen * Stay tuned, the story may change with his next tweet.
  13. Hi folks, In 1969, in my Thermodynamics class, on the first day the professor walked in, wrote something on the board, turned around & had a somewhat dumb-founded look on his face. There was a lone woman in the class. 'Lillian Kay Petersen, 17, from Los Alamos, N.M., won first place in the 2020 Regeneron Science Talent Search, a science and math competition for high school seniors.' https://www.npr.org/2020/07/30/897076414/high-school-senior-created-model-to-end-food-insecurity Good for her, Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi folks, Just saw this: 'Judge Releases Trove Of Sealed Records Related To Lawsuit Against Ghislaine Maxwell' https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/896627505/judge-releases-trove-of-sealed-records-related-to-case-against-ghislaine-maxwell If I were Randy Andy I would be a little worried. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi folks, A little update on things here in Portland: 'Portland protesters gather peacefully Thursday as federal officers depart' 'The determination of the protesters seemed to wear down the Trump administration this week, leading DHS acting secretary Chad Wolf to agree to the deal pulling out federal officers' https://www.opb.org/article/2020/07/31/portland-protesters-gather-peacefully-thursday-as-federal-officers-depart/ To Donald Trump: Sometimes things do not work out as you want them to. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi folks, And one more: 'House Unites To Reprimand GOP Lawmaker Tied To 11 Ethics Violations' https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897657022/house-unites-to-reprimand-gop-lawmaker-tied-to-11-ethics-violations Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi sf, Did you expect more? Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi airdvr, FINALLY - Something we both can agree with. Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO most thinking Americans know that Bill Clinton is a sleazeball. While I voted for him in '92*, I could not in '96. * To me, by '92, Bush 43 was a tired old man.
  19. Hi Wendy, However, you will notice that he has not offered an apology to Biden for his earlier commentary. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Bill, But, but; we've been talking about Hypocrisy of the left since Saturday. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Robert, I disagree; while 2021 may be a 'lean one,' I also think that 2020 is going to be very tough for many families. All those rent payments that were put into abeyance will come due later this year. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi John, There is still tomorrow; I'm sure he will do better ( or is it worse? ). Jerry Bumchen
  23. Hi olof, I have never had a gay person, male or female, judge my former wife & I for what we did 'consensually and in private.' It was simply our business and our business only. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi folks, And I just got this one: Jerry Baumchen PS) I really dislike wearing a mask. However, THAT is IMO not the issue.
  25. Hi Bill, Yessiree. I'm a 'the glass is 1/2 full' kind of guy. Jerry Baumchen
