" statistically, his odds of living to 80 and beyond are quite good. Life expectancy for a 72 year old male is 13 years i.e. 85. Given his relative privilege I'd expect him to be more likely than average. Of course, shit happens." Statisti…
" I am an independent because it seems that both parties deal in extremes" IMO it is more from the Right that "deal in extremes." The Right has the idea that if one is anything left of far Right they are flaming Liberals and nothing could…
""Personally, I don't give a shit. If they came here illegally... tough shit. If they are seeking asylum...."legally".... that is the system. Get over it." Well, you are right I don't personally know you and can only go by the above and th…
"Second is the lack of empathy shown by many of the posters. empathy shown by many of the posters." If there is a single thread that ties all conservatives together there is no doubt in my mind it is their lack of empathy and compassion, w…
"Personally, I don't give a shit. If they came here illegally... tough shit. If they are seeking asylum...."legally".... that is the system. Get over it." Sugar, first let me say that I do not condone sneaking into our country and those th…
"Are the best truck drivers, best trashmen in the elite class?" Actually Fred for those that are very good at the above they are. However putting one of the above in charge of HUD would be no different the putting the person who is current…
"Some have speculated that he has syphilluc dementia.I wouldn't go that far, bur some times you wonder...' Well, I have no doubt that he put his naked pee pee in places no one should,but the fact that his offspring show no physical signs o…
KJ and for all you other Jeopardy fans here is a little twist I play for final Jeopardy' Try and guess the final Jeopardy answer only knowing the final Jeopardy category. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and have come up wi…
"Didn't Trump once say he has the "best people?" I had the same thought. Funny how many of the "best" people he has had to replace already. I have no doubt the Right will find a way to spin this to their advantage. I'm sure they enjoyed hi…
"Then there was a report of a bridge in Chicago needing to be cooled by fire boats because the heat had caused the bridge to expand so much that "boats could no longer pass underneath"." Well, I am born, raised and lived the better part of…
President Trump pledged last month that pharma companies would decide to voluntarily agree to 'massive' drops in drug prices. Pfizer today, raises prices on over 100 drugs as much as 9%, well above the 2% cost of living increase and some f…
"I knew my 90+ YO dad has been driving without a license," That's definitely one of the "perks" of being over 90. You can do just about anything you want. Like what are they going to do give you life without parole.
The biggest problem I have since most things are made overseas is that it is almost impossible to get parts for something if it goes bad. As an example a 25cent switch broke on my shop vac that could be removed and easily replaced with two…
"Their judicial experience and ideals span several decades, which should, in theory, prevent ideological waves from taking over" Personally I don't see how a "case" can be ruled constitutional one time and then unconstitutional the next, u…
"Sorry for double post " EAzon, That happens to just about all of us sooner or later. You have the option to delete your own posts. When I see that it has happened to me I just delete one of them. No big deal.

"Let's see - the war on drugs - ohhh wait - that was a republican. Who created homeland security and started taping lines - wait - that was a republican. Who is circumventing the constitutions highest used word (other than I, we, and, the,…
" restrict to voting rights of the minorities under different pretexts, use religion to appeal to stupid: outlaw abortion, outlaw gay rights," What I find most interesting is that the GOP claims to be for less Government. You know give peo…
SCOTUS is a joke. It has become nothing more then what party elected it's Judges. Unless an amendment is added, the Constitution does not change. How can something be ruled Constitutional one year and not the next. IMO nine people should n…
"Andy Rooney died in 2011" WOW VA you are correct, My Bad and apologies. I found it on my FB page and did not realize it has been that long since he passed away. Honestly I do not believe I ever heard the term "Fake News" until Trump ran f…
"Polls not looking good for the Dems." Well they did not look good for Trump either and we all know how that turned out. One of us is going to loose and you will be more disappointed then I if it is you.
"The problem isn't the fake news." I posted this in another topic, but I think here is a good place also. "Did you ever notice there was no fake news until there was a fake President" Andy Rooney.
Well, personally I think it is pathetic for anyone to refuse service to someone, simply because their sexual orientation was determined at birth. On the other hand kudos to anyone who wants nothing to do with with someone because they work…
" I guess we will never mention that Bill Clinton, DEMOCRAT had a surplus budget and paid down some debt. Wow . . . reality is harsh . . . isn't it?" And I'm pretty sure they will never mention all the shit GWB pulled. Taking the Country t…
EMAZ, it is impossible to "reason" with NUTJOB, I tried and finally blocked him as IMO no doubt you will too at some point if you stay around here. Of all the "crazies" who have ever posted here, he for sure is at the top of the list, with…
In all the years, over ten, that I have been observing the goings on in this Forum, both as an observer and poster, there is no doubt in my mind that the most vitriol comments come from the Right. They, the Right, are also masters at posti…
""New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood on Thursday filed a sweeping lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation and its board of directors." Well Well. From a "tin head" point of view, that is to say to all those who have been sc…
"Keep thinking that way. Really, please do it. That means I'll get to rub your nose in all this again in November of 2020." It remains to be seen who's nose gets rubbed in. As far as him being a great businessman. Well if you think umteen…
"You're looking at it the wrong way. Read your comment again. It indicates that you think Donald Trump came along and...what?...hypnotized us?" To those that voted for him, actually in a manner of speaking YES. He is the latest incarnation…
"WTF is wrong with these guys?" I think the bigger question is WTF is wrong with that portion of America that believes his shit. Is America really becoming that dumb?
"SAR Thanks again for your knowledge; You just sent Hillary to the hangman's nose for giving what you are calling an enemy of the USA( Russia by way of Putin) 20% control of our uranium assets.[ This matter has been proven by all major new…
"And in other news, gospel televangelist Jesse Duplantis is seeking donations to buy his 4th business class jet so he can spread the word to his followers." His reasoning is false. Assuming Jesus actually existed why would he need anything…
VA, Murphy's law #24 states that if you own a home and something is going to crap out, in this case pun intended, it will happen on a holiday weekend when nothing is open.
"I wonder how many of the old television cowboys are left." Will Hutchins (Sugerfoot), Robert Conrad (Wild Wild West) and Lee Majors ( Big Valley) are still alive. Without checking further they may be the last still able to saddle up.
The thing that gets me, that it seems most fail to understand or believe is that it is absolutely possible to acquire STDs orally almost as easy as through penetration. Gonorrhea of the throat is very common. If you do not believe me Googl…
"Clint Eastwood is not dead yet". No shit Sherlock. My bad, I should have C&Ped H_H's post wondering who was still left from that time period. The 1950s.
AR, You will get no argument from me that the news media you mention leans Left of center. I personally do not want him impeached, as i would rather have an asshole in office with a good chance he will only be there for one term then one w…
Fred, they cannot be punished by the law for refusing to stand. I am not even sure if one can be fired by one's employer. This will go to SCOTUS IMO. In the land of the free home of the brave I would bet those that chose to kneel in protes…
"An employer can limit your speech if they want" Yes, Fred, that is the key and they can only do that by terminating employment and it seems some of them "don't want and if you want to miss a game, because you don't agree that is your righ…
Fred the only way it hurts their revenue is due to Right wing idiots, who don't show up because they have no respect for the Constitution. Peaceful protest, now that's the American way.
Well enjoy your version of winning Fred, because it is not going to last. Those players are exercising their Constitutional rights and you seem to have a problem with that. It is your right not to agree with it and nothing more and if you…
" They lay out the data why this has nothing to do with the obama administration." Fred, what you are witnessing is history deja vu. A repeat of what your St Ronnie did. Recession is just around the corner.
Kelly, that has happened to me and here is why I think it happens. Even if you block someone your profile will still at times come up on their home page in the random match column. Don't know why that happens, I think, but could be wrong,…
First of all you are talking apples and oranges. If he is standing on the street that does not concern me. If he comes into my place and does not purchase something, it is my right to ask him to leave or for that matter do nothing. Having…
Yes. Fred players can be punished, but not by the League. The League can only fine the team and it is up to the team to determine what action they may or may not take. Some team owners will be harsher then others and some have already said…
I did read up on it and here is what I found. If a player refuses to stand he cannot be fined by the league. The league can only fine the team. It would be then up to the owners as to how to deal with said player and some owners have alrea…
I have come across many profiles that list their KIK address in them. I can only assume the "powers that be" have not read them yet. If and when they do will those members get a lifetime ban or a one time warning to delete it.
" SCOTUS just ruled against workers right to file a class action lawsuit against employer." No surprise here, this is what happens when you elect Republicans and why I would never vote for one.
".. how is "tightening" laws going to help?" You can "debate" this subject on paper till hell freezes over and nothing changes. I say lets see what happens. Depending on what does or does not change for the good or the bad, the law can the…
It's possible she could have a brain tumor. She is very old for a cat and you are very lucky in that respect. Unfortunately we usually all out live our pets. Enjoy her while you can. The last time I cried was when I had to put my cat down.…
"He had a 5 star room in the Hanoi Hilton, and wasn't EVER tortured! It's all FICTION" Let me start off by saying I am no fan of McCain. For the most part he is not a very nice person, fucked over his first wife and thought he was a "hotsh…
"US history is rife with charlatans and their pigeons. Nice to know some things don't change." Yes, we currently have one in high office, He would be the perfect company spokesmen for that product.
Well, it seems the "free" members are starting to get creative. I just came across a profile from one who is asking those that might be interested in their profile to communicate with them by using the "additional comments" section of thei…
"What fools are buying this?!?" Probably the same people who go to GNC and pay outrageous prices for their powders. Who knows what's actually in there, specially if it comes from China.
"Obamacare does not require a doctor to gather all information about gun ownership and report it to the feds." Well, it does seem that peace has been made between myself and RK, but with this new information below I have to find it hypocri…
RK, I am not an "angry old man" and have only blocked two people in all the time I have posted here, HFT and Ncal, both who bring nothing to the table and are not just blocked by me, but most who post here. When you post that all or most U…
RK, that's buIshit I can't handle your bullshit. Is their graft and corruption within some Unions? Of course just as there is graft and corruption just about anywhere. Say or believe what you want, but there is no doubt in my mind my parti…
"Its Always About The Money! ALWAYS!!!!" BULLSHIT RK. You have no idea what you are talking about. Yes, a decent living wage is one part, but more important are benefits and working conditions. You, assuming you could, might want to ask on…
"Until recently, unions were a dying breed, but with many employee protections stripped away in the past year or so, I forsee them making a resurgence. I am not happy about it, but I understand how it can happen" Unions came into being for…
'Tesla is about to go the way of the Studebaker' My grandparents had some stock in Studebaker and when I was helping my grandmother move after my grandfather died in 1979, I found their 100th anniversary stockholders brochure, which I stil…
Well to start SCOTUS has said that movies that include graphic sex is legal, so long as minors are not involved. The people in them are, clears throat, actors and getting paid to act, not to have sex and are members of AFTRA. If you think…

I see that California has just surpassed Great Britain as the worlds 5th largest economy. Not too shabby for a State the wingnuts on here think is on the verge of collapse.
