  1. Hi 698, Total bullshit. Not one iota of proof. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Wendy, Well, at one time they were called Comfort Women. So, that is a 3rd option. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi 698, Re: All the money spent on homeless seems to do is get given to connected Dem donors. Even though you said 'seems,' can you prove that? IMO a lot of the money 'spent' on the homeless, in this area, is wasted. However, it is not given to connected Dem donors. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Nigel, I was just thinking that today. I would absolutely support that. And, her sending Trump to Gitmo; she would have the power, SCOTUS said so. Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi Bill, I know I wouldn't. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Biil, I am continually amazed at what some people will believe. If it didn't happen to me, it didn't happen. Right up there with the Flat Earth Society. Jerry Baumchen PS) Once again: It is all good until it is your ox that is getting gored.
  7. Hi Ken, Re: The people who worked very closely with Trump nearly all have warned you that they have seen him up close and that he is basically not interested in helping anyone but himself. Trump has shown this his entire life; he will not change. Re: they are not interested in helping drug addicts. Just another form of 'suckers & losers' to Trump. He will do nothing to solve this problem. They are not squatting at Mar-A-Lago, so why care. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: now he even more clearly has shown how the lure of money and power can corrupt an ambitious person. Yup.
  8. Hi Ken, IMO that depends on what minute you are discussing. He is well known to not be very intelligent. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Nigel, I have 52-yr old daughter and I feel the same way about her. She has succeeded tremendously in working for a Japanese firm; where men are usually the only success stories. Jerry Baumchen FBI, Justice Department investigating racist texts sent after election - oregonlive.com
  10. Hi Ken, I'm with you. The other day I was reading where NIKE stocks had tanked on fear of tariff increases. It's all good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen PS) People should just really look around & see how many consumer goods that they have that were made in China,
  11. Hi Ken, Re: That is the reason why true authoritarian nations tightly control it and all media. Hmmm: Joseph Goebbels - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi Nigel, Re: Ultimately though for Putin and all the other strongmen they know Trump is a fragile and vain man who is easily manipulated. I know of no international 'strong man' that Trump has ever stood up do. He is usually kissing their boots with a few well placed words and telling him he’s a good boy. Trump is no different than the school yard bully. All mouth & no guts. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Phil, Here are statements from two western governors: Gov. Jay Inslee releases statement on statewide general election results | News | nbcrightnow.com California Governor Gavin Newsom calls special session to prepare fight against Trump measures Do not give one inch. Jerry Baumchen PS) The statement from the Oregon governor is worthless; as expected.
  14. Hi Ken, I do think you are correct. He put the fear into the voters. The fear that they are taking your job. IMO for a person over 45, that is their biggest fear. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi 698, One of the pathetic posts that I have ever read. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi 698, Maybe in your world; not in a lot of this country. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Nigel, Looks like we will all have to buy a copy of Art of the Deal to stay out of the camps. Jerry Baumchen PS) Nice article; I have long said that the rise of Trump is very similar to the rise of the Third Reich.
  18. Hi Ken, These are the people who truly fear losing their jobs. If you are a Joe 6-Pack over 45 and lose your job, there is not much in the way of employment opportunities. However, Trump does not give a shit about them now that they have voted. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi folks, Re: Just wait until they see those higher prices that tariffs will bring. Here you go: Trump tariffs would hit these stock-market sectors the hardest | Morningstar Jerry Baumchen PS) I think that they call it free enterprise.
  20. Hi Bill, As I said: If anything, housing is a true supply & demand system. Are you now against free enterprise? Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi John, This site seems to have a glitch; when I try to do a Reply by clicking on the Quote icon, it does not work if someone has done a Like to the post. Hmmmmm. Re: IMO everyone who can benefit from higher ed. should get it and shouldn't depend on how wealthy your parents are. I totally agree. I went to college 1/2 time & worked to pay the costs. It took me 6 1/2 yrs to get my degree. Often, I would wonder if I would ever make it. But, I stayed with the effort. And, it has given me a far better life than if I had not done it. It can be done without family money; it is not easy & can take a long time. In the end, it is IMO very much worth it. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi folks, So, I'm thinking that V-P Harris should do want Trump wanted his v-p to do; just do not certify the election. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi folks, I thought this was quite ironic: Ambulance hits Oregon cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill, lawsuit says - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi Wendy, Liars have to lie. It is what they do, just ask Trump. Jerry Baumchen
  25. Hi Sky, Actually, with the FERS system, brought in by Reagan in 1984, vs the CSRS system I was in, that is now a lot easier. Jerry Baumchen
