  1. Hi dogyks, I thought Carter was truly a nice person. His Achillies Heel was he thought everyone else was as good as he was. I thought Nixon was a true statesman. His Achillies Heel was that he was completely paranoid. IMO the vast majority of people have both good & bad in them. Trump excepted. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Bill, Are you telling me that they are not recommending sticking a light bulb up your ass as to how to deal with it? I mean it worked so well with Covid. Jerry Baumchen
  3. Hi John, IMO the silence will be deafening. I continue to post: That it is all well & good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Now, no tears from me when anyone who voted for other than Ms. Harris, is getting their ox gored. Jerry Baumchen
  4. Hi Nigel, What I like is that Gabbard and others, testified that this info was not classified. Jeff G held off releasing all of the info just because he felt it might be classified. It's going to be rather difficult to go after him when Trump himself said no classified info was released. Trump 2.0 is truly The Gang Who Cannot Shoot Straight. Jerry Baumchen PS) Along with being the Editor of The Atlantic, Jeff G is the moderator of Washington Week on PBS. I highly recommend watching it; it is probably my favorite show.
  5. Hi folks, I know Trump 2.0 is filled with incompetents, but this takes the cake: The White House has asked Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help investigate how a journalist was included on a Signal chat with national security officials. White House taps Musk to probe Signal chat incident Jerry Baumchen
  6. Hi folks, Are we starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel: In a district that went to Trump by 15 in 2024 and has a 23-point Republican voter registration advantage, [ a Democrat ] victory is a loud and clear rebuke to Republicans Democrat James Malone upsets Josh Parsons, flipping Pennsylvania Senate seat We must turn the GOP out of office next year. Jerry Baumchen
  7. Hi folks, Looks like they are starting to eat their own: Ryan Spoon — vice chair of the local Republican Party apparatus in Idaho’s Ada County — turned the force of the federal government against a political enemy [ Idaho state Rep. Stephanie Mickelsen, R-Idaho Falls ] Right-wing Idaho activist targets Republican legislator with calls for ICE raids • Oregon Capital Chronicle This is beginning to look like the Keystone Kops. Trump is truly incapable of running this country. Jerry Baumchen
  8. Hi John, When you were still teaching, were your Final Exam questions always this difficult? Jerry Baumchen
  9. Hi Nigel, Elon needs to get with the modern world; he can work from home in South Africa. Jerry Baumchen
  10. Hi folks, Something tells me that it will not be there long: Why is Donald Trump’s name etched onto this Portland landmark? - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  11. Hi folks, Lots of Buyer's Remorse out there: “They said Donald Trump promised to watch out for them. And the first thing he does is fire them.” Military veterans are becoming the face of Trump's government cuts | AP News Anyone who believed anything Trump said, was a fool. Just 'suckers & losers' it seems. Jerry Baumchen
  12. Hi folks, I can understand about Canadians being annoyed. However, there are these Americans caught up in it also: PNW border city, with land access only through Canada, grapples with Trump trade war - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen
  13. Hi John, A MAGA-moron is the term you are looking for. Something about, 'I love the uneducated.' Jerry Baumchen
  14. Hi Keith, Would you please send that link to the White House. Jerry Baumchen
  15. Hi Nigel, I've been there twice. Primarily, because my best friend emigrated there back in 71. IMO very friendly people. Jerry Baumchen
  16. Hi folks, It was important 250 yrs ago; and, is important today: Patrick Henry's 'liberty or death' speech turns 250 | AP News Jerry Baumchen
  17. Hi dogyks, Re: You want an anchor baby? Get a visa and show up legally. Sorry, that is not the law here. Per Wendy: It doesn’t consist of the president saying “that sucks.” Jerry Baumchen
  18. Hi Ken, Re: the right wing is on a campaign against empathy When we elect a POTUS that shows absolutely no empathy, this is what we get. Jerry Baumchen
  19. Hi Keith, I read both of your links. Without doing a word-for-word comparison, it seems to me that they both say the same thing; the same as what Ken posted. IMO damn poor treatment for anyone. Once again: However, how would you feel if anyone in your family, or you, were treated as the Canadian woman was treated by this country, for a simple infringement. Looks to me that Melania is a bigger criminal. Jerry Baumchen
  20. Hi Keith, To paraphrase Joe, enlighten us. Jerry Baumchen PS) Ken's post was a long read; but, well worth it.
  21. Hi Keith, I agree that every person, when in another country, should keep track of the rules. However, how would you feel if anyone in your family, or you, were treated as the Canadian woman was treated by this country, for a simple infringement. Jerry Baumchen
  22. Hi Bill, Re: But there's a bit of a difference now. Yup, it is all about the enforcement. Things have substantially changed in the last two months. Jerry Baumchen
  23. Hi John, Done. Jerry Baumchen
