  1. Hi Joe, Only the unknowing think otherwise. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi dogyks, Sorry, but it was Barnum who said it first; not Falwell. Jerry Baumchen
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Hi Rich, Do you mean 'Rather red than dead?' Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi John, If they had done any thinking, they would have expected this. Jerry Baumchen
  8. 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
  9. Hi John, That'll teach her to be a woman. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi Bill, As I continue to say: The American voter is uninformed & prefers to stay that way. Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi Nigel, That was how Reagan did it. Jerry Baumchen
  12. 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.
  13. Hi Joe, You mean the Munich Betrayal: Munich Agreement - Wikipedia I was just thinking about that the other day. Always easy to give away what the other guy has. Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi folks, Happy voters? Many of the attendees expressed frustration and anger with President Donald Trump U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick held a town hall Thursday. Constituents gave him an earful | Georgia Public Broadcasting Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi folks, More satisfied voters? Daniel Jepsen is normally too busy to keep up with politics, but even he’s paying attention now. Oregon wheat farmers brace for boomerang effects of Trump’s international aid program freeze - oregonlive.com Eastern Oregon is Trump country. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Joe, Hmmmm, is his first name Tim? Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Nigel, IMO not really, when you consider that every 6 Jun the French celebrate the D-Day landings. Some of them may deny the holocaust, but they know who liberated them. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Keith, I agree 100%. The Dems have the elections in in their pockets in 2026 & 2028. They just need to find an agenda & a candidate that people like you & I will support. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi dogyks, Like this idiot: Controversial ex-judge from Oregon appointed to Trump administration - oregonlive.com 'Local Republican groups, including the Oregon Conservative Caucus, lauded the appointment.' Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi dogyks, For many yrs, I have believed that we should reduce the size of the fed gov't. Disclaimer: I spent 30 yrs for the fed gov't & am now a fed retiree. However, IMO a proper reduction [ subjective? - of course ] requires a scalpel and not a sledge hammer. And, yes: Trump is batshit crazy. I do not believe that down deep Trump really cares; remember, his first attempt at the presidency was as a Democrat. His true desire is just to himself in the news; the center of attention. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi folks, Looks like they eat their own: “the DOGE push to downsize government employees will hit the coalition that elected Trump.” Republicans worry Trump’s firings of federal workers will hit red states hard - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Joe, And, most Americans just do not care until it effects them personally. * It is all well and good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen * Rather like many of the Jews in Germany during the 30's.
  23. Hi Nigel, I'm with you, a total waste of time. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Wendy, Once again: It is well & good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen
