    Hi folks, Trump is beginning to be the albatross around their necks: at the House GOP conference in Orlando, where dozens of congressional Republicans . . . hoped to focus on the party’s legislative priorities and achievements three months into the House majority. Instead, they faced repeated questions about the implications of Trump’s latest legal woes.

    Hi folks, Maybe the worm has turned: MAGA protesters in Manhattan crowded out by anti-Trump rivals - POLITICO When they were leading Louis XVI to the guillotine and he heard the cheering, he was convinced his supporters would never let him be executed. He then realized that they were cheering for his demise. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Only the teasers from the tv news. Seems as though everyone is waiting with baited breath. Jerry Baumchen PS) One question is who will indict him first, New York or Georgia? Decisions, decisions, . . . .

    Hi Bill, Since we are going to be facetious, if the gov't does not take every penny I have, am I getting a subsidy? Jerry Baumchen PS) This place is starting to be fun.

    Hi Wendy, Re: (“if it bleeds it leads”) That was for when we all had newspapers delivered to our front doors. Today, on the local tv news, it is: BREAKING NEWS About 9 out of 10 local tv broadcasts in my area begin with it. About a week or so ago, my local 5 PM tv newscast had a BREAKING NEWS story that had appeared on another channel two days before. But, it was BREAKING NEWS now. It's all about making the sale(s).

    Hi Keith, About my only memory is that just about everything that was attempted was a disaster. * Care to expand on that worked phenomenally? Jerry Baumchen * IMO it was one of those things in life I am glad that I did not experience; as are so many.

    Hi Joe, This is a great book: A Civil Action is a 1995 non-fiction book by Jonathan Harr about a water contamination case in Woburn, Massachusetts, in the 1980s. A Civil Action - Wikipedia If you have not read it, I do recommend it. It also was made into a very good movie. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, The Oregon legislature is considering a bill to provide $1,000/month/person for a 2-yr period as a Basic Income to people in need. Bill sparks debate on a guaranteed income program for Oregon - OPB My concern is that it could lead to more drug overdoses [ they now would have more money to buy drugs ] and it could lead to a lot more people coming to Oregon to get on the money bandwagon. I am interested in what people think about this; and, especially, those of you outside of the USA. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, That idiot Trump is his own worst enemy. He just cannot shut up. * Jerry Baumchen * When my son was doing criminal defense work, he would constantly tell me how could not get his clients to just keep their mouths shut.

    Hi Robert, And, his cowtowing to Kim at the DMZ. Jerry Baumchen PS) Trump has always said he likes strong leaders. Even though, he is not one.

    Hi Bill, It worked quite well in the '30's in Germany. It is working today. It will work in the future. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Both parties would disagree with your premise bolded above. It is a subjective statement. As I have posted many times on here, the first time I voted for POTUS was in '64 & the choices were LBJ or Goldwater. Then & now, the choices are almost always the lesser of two evils. * I do not see that changing. Jerry Baumchen * I did not want Joe Biden to get the nomination in 2020.
