    Hi Mark, As you, I ( all of us, actually ) thought they were a super power. Then, after 9 Nov 89, we began to see that they were just a hollow puppet. Fall of the Berlin Wall - Wikipedia And, the interesting part is how they are so much more now. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Are you saying that they cannot have an OOPSIE? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi okalb, If it worked before, why won't it work again? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, A question, is this about Trump or Santos: "To think that one human being would have the audacity to vote for you after what you did to our constituents, then you're either insane, incompetent or a little bit of both," Here you go: Rep. George Santos pleads not guilty to 13 criminal counts, says he won't resign - ABC7 New York (abc7ny.com) Something about birds of a feather???????? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, As I posted in a different thread: In a word: Intolerance I just may get to use that a lot around here. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like that whole MAGA is just not working for her: Kari Lake's lawyers fined for false claims about Arizona election - BBC News Isn't there a song about something along the lines of: When will they ever learn? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Just noticed this; it should read: of anyone who is not exactly like them. My bad, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, A little more on this tolerance concept: Most Oregonians support protections for transgender people, poll says, but divisions remain - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Although, I have been in a few courtrooms, I'm no expert. However, I do think being belligerent is not a good way to influence people: Growing belligerent, Trump told Kaplan herself that “you wouldn’t be a choice of mine, either, to be honest.” Jury in rape trial hears from Trump — but not in person - POLITICO This idiot is his own worst enemy. In the words of the late Jackie Gleason: How sweet it is. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Well, a 6 yr old did shoot his teacher: "Across the country, we have seen an increase in threatening behavior and contraband, including weapons, being brought into schools at all levels," A Michigan school district has banned students from carrying backpacks : NPR Jerry Baumchen PS) At least, they are trying.

    Hi folks, Looks like Putin is as delusional as Trump is: the Kremlin alleging that the U.S. was behind what it called an assassination attempt against the Russian president. Zelenskyy wants Putin trial, Russia accuses US on drones | AP News Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like he is grabbing at straws: “This effort is extremely unlikely to succeed,” Lawyer: Trump seeking to move criminal case to federal court | AP News He will never accept any responsibility for anything that he done. Roy Cohn taught him well. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Not a very good career move: calling them “Nazis” and encouraging rioters to “kill ‘em!” Ex-FBI supervisory agent arrested in Bend on Jan. 6 Capitol riot charges - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, From all of that, I would think that he would be the perfect choice to run with Trump as V-P in 2024. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, I am of the opinion that this country was founded upon the rights of the individual. Not anything else. IMO the courts have pushed this definition too far. We now have a country in which one is virtually never responsible for what they do. The dipstick who killed Harvey Milk ( because Harvey was different ) tried to blame it on Twinkees. Spare me, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, In a word: Intolerance There are simply too many people ( though not a majority, thankfully ) in this country that are not tolerant of anyone who is exactly like them. It is a big issue; and, one word is not going to define it. But, it is a place to begin a conversation. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, I also, have thought that maybe the American Century is slowing coming to an end. I truly wish it was not so. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Have to disagree. I believe it was 1972 when Henry Kissinger walked out of the facility where the Paris Peace Accords were being held & announced that they had developed a peace plan. It was everything that the north wanted in 1968. Nixon waited 4 yrs, only to use it as a chip in his re-election effort. The one thing I truly hold against Nixon is this: He let a lot of people ( on both sides ) die just so he could use 'Peace at last,' as a re-election issue. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Absolute proof that he lives in a world of his own. As Hillary Clinton said, 'He is not qualified to be President.' Jerry Baumchen PS) Anybody got a spare strait-jacket; someone in Florida needs one.

    Hi Wendy, Hopefully, Ms. Carroll will make it a nightmare. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, Re: he looks much older in this picture. Anyone can find a photo of anyone else where they do not look their best. I'm 2 yrs older than Biden. I 'think' I look pretty good for my age; below is a photo taken in '08. Yes, I know that was a few yrs ago & I have changed some. Now, given that, I simply cannot spend 8 hrs digging any ditches anymore. It is life. However, I doubt that the POTUS does any real manual labor these days. Somewhere in some archives ( I've seen it ) is a photo of Pres. Eisenhower carrying his own luggage into a hotel here in Portland while he was POTUS. Those days are gone. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi TriGirl, Re: debates (Primaries, Pres and VP) should have enforced rules Actual debates do have enforced rules. In 2016 they were not debates in any sense of the word. In 2020, due to this crap that you described, they did have the power to turn off the mike. Let's hope it continues. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Well, Trump did say that you can just grab them by the pussy: Jessica Leeds, 81, of Asheville, North Carolina, said Trump accosted her with what seemed like “40 zillion hands.” Woman testifies that she too was sexually attacked by Trump | AP News I sure as hell hope that Ms. Carroll wins this one. Jerry Baumchen) PS) And, to think that there are people in this country that want this %#@&%$ for POTUS.

    Hi folks, The grim discovery in Oklahoma keeps the U.S. on a torrid pace for mass killings in 2023 and could push the number of people slain in mass killings past 100 for the year. Woman IDs 4 of 7 Oklahoma bodies as daughter, grandchildren | AP News Maybe it will stop when there is no one left to kill. Jerry Baumchen PS) Just saw this: Police discover 7 bodies at the home of a sex offender on his scheduled court date Teens Ivy Webster and Brittany Brewer found dead after Oklahoma manhunt : NPR
