  1. Hi Robert, On par with their false mileage claims. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi folks This is the type of justice that I like: Kim Davis ordered to pay $100,000 to same-sex couple she denied marriage license : NPR Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi winsor, You do know that those two posts by BIGUN are 2 1/2 yrs old. You been in hibernation? Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi John, Well, I guess that I was not paying attention. Actually, I would be fairly close if it were not for financing the educations of my two children and my two grandchildren. That, and a costly divorce. C'est la vie, Jerry Baumchen
  5. Hi Erroll, While no one ever polled us, I would guess 65% to 75% were Democrats. The others were mostly GOP members that were more middle of the road than the MAGA idiots. Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi Phil, I have to disagree. Trump merely signed the documents that they put in front of him. I seriously doubt he understood even one piece of legislation that he signed. As one of his instructors at Wharton said, 'He was the dumbest student I ever had.' It's always amazing what money can buy. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi Phil, Only a total idiot would say such. Each & every one of them could sue. It would take the courts yrs to finish. Nixon considered putting all feds into the Soc. Sec. System & eliminate the fed retirement system. Smarter minds prevailed and he dropped the idea. Jerry Baumchen, PS) But, it does sound good to the uneducated, who are his audience.
  8. Hi folks, He can run but he cannot hide: Trump demands recusal of Judge Chutkan in federal 2020 election interference case | The Hill Like most of his court attempts, I doubt that this one will succeed. Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi John, Heck, you're retired; send them a proposal for a 1/2 doz or so: Embassy.org: The Embassy of Ukraine Might be a great 2nd career. And, I am very sure that they could use them. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi Red, IMO we will need more info. How about some pix on the risers, etc? Also, what rig is it? Have you contacted the mfr? The canopy has nothing to do with stowing the lines. Jerry Baumchen PS) It looks similar to a French pin method of setting the brakes; but, very little info at this time.
  11. Hi Robert, And, it looks like they are moving ahead of us on another front: Mexico to elect first woman president : NPR Jerry Baumchen Oh, well; there is still Trump to consider. :-(
  12. Hi folks, Looks like things might be beginning to change, slowly but surely: a tried-and-true strategy in cases with many defendants: Portray yourself as a hapless pawn while piling blame on the apparent kingpin. Trump’s co-defendants are already starting to turn against him - POLITICO One can only hope that more of them see the light. Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi Wendy, For more longer than I can remember, I have been saying that the secret to the success of the US health care system is Do Not Get Sick. Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi Bill, Absolute proof that he is delusional & not qualified to be POTUS. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Robert, And, at my age, I usually say: 'Do you have a senior discount?' Works sometimes. Jerry Baumchen PS) About 20 yrs ago, I was in a bookstore in Naples, FL. As I was buying a book, I asked about a senior discount. She said that they did not do that. Well, duh, it was Florida, no wonder.
  16. Hi Robert. Having worked in contract management for the federal gov't for 30 yrs, IMO approx 85% of all purchases are NOT negotiated. They are a simple low-bid system. Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi Robert, Looks like nothing more than crocodile tears: In his plea for leniency to the court, Pezzola said he had given up politics, yet as he was being escorted out of the courtroom he shouted, "Trump won!" Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola gets 10 years in prison for Jan. 6 role : NPR Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Robert, With my Post #21, I am thinking he is far worse off then the GOP is telling us. Otherwise, they would cover it up; the GOP is so good at that: Watergate scandal - Wikipedia Jerry Baumchen PS) IMO the Dems are not much better; think Feinstein.
  19. Hi Ken, Looks like the first knife has come out: Thune ready to 'support the team' amid questions on McConnell's health | SDPB I expect more to follow. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Wendy, This is exactly how I feel. While I am pro-abortion ( I donate to NARAL every year ), I have never told someone to get an abortion. Although, there are times when I think I should have. :) I am a 'live & let live' type of person. Jerry Baumchen
  21. Hi Robert, Further proof that Trump lives in his own world: listing as accomplishments his hard line on China, ensuring Russia didn’t invade Ukraine on his watch and preventing North Korea’s Kim Jong Un from launching a nuclear attack. NY AG Letitia James seeks immediate verdict in fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump - oregonlive.com I'm at a loss as to why we should not re-elect him with all of these 'accomplishments.' Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Ken, Pres. Harry Truman once said, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.' How true. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi John, These idiots should count their blessings; 200 yrs ago they would have been hanged. Jerry Baumchen
  24. Hi John, As would I. However, it looks like some of his cohorts are getting a little nervous: the Senate GOP also holds private lunches . . . , giving members another forum for hashing out the direction of the party’s leadership GOP senators weigh 'special' meeting on their leadership after McConnell's freeze - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen
