  1. Hi folks, Add one more dumb attorney to the list: Ex-Donald Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro's law license suspended in New York Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi folks, Looks like a glimmer of hope with the Fourth Estate: “While some newspapers refused to back a presidential candidate this year, today The Economist is endorsing Kamala Harris,” The Economist endorses Kamala Harris for president over Donald Trump Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi Bill, Re: Then you still see what ridiculous things they say and can therefore 1) laugh at them and 2) understand what some people believe. At this point in life, the time I have left is a very important thing. I will not waste it on idiots who cannot have a constructive discourse. You might come around as you age. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi John, However, I hear that his wife is an illegal immigrant. Hmmmmm, Jerry Baumchen PS) Taxes are only for the little people.
  5. Hi Joe, I'm in. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi 17, My thinking is can it pay for itself; or make some profit. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi folks, IMO one thing is for sure: We are all different. I am opposed to any form of nuclear energy due to the yet-to-be-solved problem of the waste products. I do not want my grandchildren to have to live with it. This was a really big deal on the local news a few yrs ago: While the nuclear industry tries to pass itself off as “clean,” it is an extremely dirty technology, The Rise and Fall of NuScale: a nuclear cautionary tale • Oregon Capital Chronicle Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi folks, I have fairly consistently used the term 'MAGA idiots'; here is one more: Authorities say he stood inside the parking lot posing in pictures with the machete with several other male juveniles who were chanting in support of former President Trump. Florida teenager accused of using machete to intimidate voters at polling station So much for fair elections. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Tanya, During the height of the Watergate Scandal, Nixon said that he did not know what was going on. Someone, I don't remember who, said that was like the piano player in the bordello saying, 'I don't know what they do up there.' Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi folks, Well, there goes the Fourth Estate; it was good while it lasted: USA Today and 200 other Gannett-owned newspapers not endorsing presidential candidate Jerry Baumchen Fourth Estate - Wikipedia
  11. Hi folks, Anyone want to take a shot at who said this: There can be no room for such vile and racist expressions. Normally, I would say that it is a Democrat referring to something Trump said. But, no; it was: Puerto Rico’s delegate to the U.S. House, Jenniffer González-Colón, a Republican They are doing everything that they can to get this shit off of their shoes. Jerry Baumchen Worries grow about disinformation, false claims and even violence as election nears • Oregon Capital Chronicle
  12. Hi Tanya, I'm with you. I would hope Biden would declare it 'done & dusted' before he leaves office. And, thanks for the update. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi folks, OK, they picked this guy to support Trump; then they want to distance themselves as much as possible: Republicans, including Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), are trying to minimize the damage Tony Hinchcliffe's racist remarks roil Donald Trump campaign ahead of election Talk about two-faced. I can only hope that it buries Trump and his MAGA idiots. Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi tk, Did you expect him to? Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi tk, Re: The USA has never managed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment I am no Constitutional expert. The last that I read [ a few yrs ago ] is that that amendment is still out there waiting on [ I 'think' ] just two more states to ratify it. Re: I expect that if men could get pregnant, you would be able to get an abortion at a drive through 7-Eleven Bingo, you nailed it. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi Rob, Re: They can never go home again because they might tell family and friends about the high standard of living in Ukraine. Just about anywhere in the world, other than NoKo, would be a high standard of living for them. Jerry Baumchen PS) There were many Soviets living is western Russia, Ukraine, etc, that joined the German army to fight against Stalin. Sadly, they were summarily executed when he re-conquered them.
  17. Hi tk, As I posted in Post #9: Just wait until rush & the rest of the MAGA crowd starts to lose those 'rights' that effect them. Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Ken, Mine, also. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi folks, As most of you know, I am a very strong supporter of a woman's right to abortion. I also donate to NARAL every year. Since the Dobbs decision, slowly but surely, we are winning back the right to an abortion. Slowly, state by state. However, I do not think that is enough. IMO every free thinking woman in this country should get involved; here is one opportunity: Defend Democracy - Emerge Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Nigel, I have reached the point where I feel the MAGA's simply do not care about Trump's poor record as President. They do not care if he is a rapist, etc. They only want him to win. Here is one example: Tariffs hurt his business. He's voting for Trump anyway IMO it is a waste of time to try to engage them in a rational discussion. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Joe, Do not feed the trolls. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi folks, “In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault.” Pop-up Trump statue makes political point in Portland Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi folks, One would think that just once it would work: “Please join us in praying for all those involved in this situation.” Former Damascus Christian School principal, coach and his wife indicted for sexually abusing student - KTVZ Seems a little late to me. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Phil, Or, to paraphrase Leona Hemsley: Those rules are for the little people. Jerry Baumchen
  25. Hi folks, Since Jan 6th did not work out, go here: two Monday morning fires intentionally set at ballot boxes. 2 ballot drop boxes set on fire in Portland/Vancouver area; ‘hundreds’ of ballots destroyed in Washington - oregonlive.com You can expect more of this in the next 7 days. Jerry Baumchen PS) It will not work so good in Oregon as we are a mail-in ballot state & most have already voted.
