Ah

Trump demanded his motorcade drive IN the newly coated reflecting pool before it was filled. Heavily armored SUVs weigh a lot:

"Trump has maintained that the renovation has been a success, but the project has faced heavy scrutiny. It was initially estimated to cost $1.8 million, but the price tag is now up to $14.7 million, according to a contract summary of the Interior Department's award to Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings."

And his "State Fair" is a flop too with unmanned booths, power outages, and minuscule attendance.

WTG Dotard!

Trump cashed out as soon as he could.

DJT was a pump and dump from the very start. I followed it and saw too much evidence that it was a way for shadowy donors to pump money into Trump's pocket by buying shares to "pump" the price so other suckers would keep buying. All so Trump could sell his shares at an inflated price and put the money in his pocket.

Trump Media (DJT) has always been worthless.

You don't have to own a home more than 2 years to pay zero capital gains if it was your primary residence.

Here are the IRS rules:

- You must have owned the home for at least 2 years (24 months) out of the last 5 years prior to the date of sale.
- You must have lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 years out of those same 5 years.
- You cannot have used this capital gains exclusion on another home sale within the 2 years prior to this sale.

and that vaccine whereas this one went through the proper and prescribed amount of testing

and time.

I think you may have dementia. Or are simply willingly ignorant.

MRNA vaccines worked like a charm. It isn't like they invented MRNA technology in 2020.

They kept my wife and I and tens of millions of others out of the hospital or a grave.

His "friends" are in Europe ... western Russia, which is considered a part of the European continent.

They're decimating the top ranks and losing all that experience.

Since no reason has ever been given for the firings one can only assume it's political.

Our military has always been non-political. Until these morons (including the former host of FoxNews weekend).

Americans have also continued to sour on Trump's economy. According to the newest poll, only 26% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, while 70% disapproved.

Earlier this month, Trump brushed off concerns over the sharp increase in consumer prices across the United States, saying, "I love the inflation."

His comments were in response to a question about the Labor Department's latest consumer price index, which found prices were up 4.2% in May over the previous year. It was the first time inflation climbed above 4% since 2023, marking the largest increase in three years.

"No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why?" Trump said on June 10. "Because as soon as this war is over ' you know, I can say it now, something you didn't know." (WTF?)

I've grown accustomed to her face
She makes me puke and leaves me thin
She's so seren-el-y repugnant and I just can't forget
That batschitt crazy woman who supported Trump and yet

I've grown accustomed to that freak... her image makes one shreak
Accustomed to that horse

Ha ha!

Loved the line: "And I don't care if it's green if they don't talk 'bout Epstein at all ..." (DJT)

Operation Epic Epstein now this. His day of reckoning is coming regardless of how much he deflects.

Trump doesn't have friends.

Everything he does is transactional.

Friend today, under the bus tomorrow.

It was very prescient of the FBI to name their undercover mob mole "Donnie" Brasco

Glad others are waking up to Trump's erratic, dangerous behavior!

I'm looking forward to visiting it in August when I pass thru Chicago.

This Trump term most job growth has limited to the health care sector.

Guess you don't read very much

When I was a baby, Dutch sailors hid me under the bar when a fight broke out onboard the HNLMS Tromp (F801).

but other than that, not too bad. The most dangerous thing I deal with is Houston traffic.

Great story. Add more ... :-)

PS - Clive's the guy behind everyone from Whitney Houston to Santana and a wealth of other timeless artists in the list Lamplighter posted in #1.

Last of the great record men. Mo Ostin, Ahmet Ertegun ... and Clive. They loved MUSIC, found unique and creative new artists, and would stick with them until they hit, not drop them after the first album didn't meet expectations.

These were the guys responsible for unique and timeless music from the 60's and 70's, full of unique artists who you recognized when you heard them.

The corporate consolidation of the music industry, and resulting "no hit 1st record, no more record deal" mentality led to A&R execs taking fewer chances, and new artists with one chance to hit rather than nurturing acts guys like Clive and others believed in until they did hit.

Tuition was $600 a quarter ($2400/yr) at the major university I attended (commuted).

It's now over $16,000. In state tuition + room & board for in state is $50,000. No wonder so many graduate with massive amounts of student debt.

Between 3 part time jobs and a $500 per year grant, I had no debt. Didn't eat steak, but rent (shared house), books, food, and gas were doable.

PS - This Trump term most job growth has limited to the health care sector.

Manufacturing employment has risen by 23,000 in 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Gee, that's 460 jobs average per state! Wow!! (/sarcasm)
