Trump's vision for America is a dystopian hellscape, where there is no effective middle class buffer between the wealthy and the "worker" class. The fact he still has two long+ years of mischief available to him terrifies me. The complete MAGA rout in the mid-terms truly foretells dangerous times ahead for our Spacious Skied little country, as it will--at long last--force his ever-corrupt hand to commit acts of unthinkable desperation to stay ahead of the justice coming for him.

Hey...all the contact info I had for you was stranded on my old phone and computer when I had to panic move from NorCal to AZ back in 2011. Just add 09 in front of the other two numbers in my old email address. Lets catch up.

This is where you consume feces and expire, slick. I'll be 86 in 2032, providing you "conservative" clowns don't starve me to death sooner. All snark aside--and I don't say this lightly--I have consistently found you THE saddest, most disingenuous hack around here. (in sotto voce) "It's your relentless agenda, stupid."

While gas hovers around $5 a gallon, all my "extra" $$ becomes a fond memory at the end of my monthly SS check. I'm wearing clothes I've worn for over 10 years, knowing I don't have anywhere near the wherewithal to buy new duds. Hell...I can't even afford basic cable now. It seems every dime that comes my way, is earmarked. I used to quietly curse getting old...now there's a great possibility that my advancing age may turn out to be a blessing.

Technology will kill us all in our sleep. Or keep us like house pets. We're already too reliant on it for our daily lives as it is.

Hmmm...a "publicity" stunt. Benefitting who, exactly? I mean, the man's putting his commission on the line. And as we get closer to the midterms, common wisdom says he probably won't be the only service member to publicly bag on our predictably absentee CIC. Ask those buckaroos finally coming home on that carrier how they view Trump's open disparagement of their service.

Bronze Age hobgoblins. Historically, how many have died--and continue to do so--as a direct result of this malarkey? A couple Mormon fellas knocked on my door a couple days ago. The moment I used the word Apostate to describe my spiritual outlook, they bolted declaring they'd pray for me. I retorted "Cool, as long as you don't try to prey on me." The homophone eluded them.

We tend to forget that as we age, so do our heroes. The only two musicians I've actually openly wept over when learning of their unacceptable passing is Lyle Mays and Michael Hedges. Especially Hedges, as his demise was of his own foolishness.

It's curious how "they" continue to expose Trump to what we are learning are "unvetted" staff. Then again, Capt. Combover was obviously compromised in his first administration by a host of foreign influences, so it should not be all that surprising that Russia, China, Israel, Kim Jun Widebody, etc. would find it rather easy to ensconce a obsequious blond enema nurse within his inner circle of sycophantic ass kissers, given his alleged proclivities.

Give it a rest. Your transparent agenda is crying for a breather.

...Woodstock was over a month before... Clarity is my/your friend.

I was in Europe chasing a Brazilian girl around the south of France. It was over a month before I ran out of $$ and came home to start classes. Seems so incomprehensibly innocent, looking back. Cultural touchstones, and all that. I was 23, fresh out of the military a short year before.

When I run across snappy erudite repartee like this around here, I know it's high time for another sabbatical. The house is burning yet you clowns just keep tap dancing.

It's times like these that make me think I'm rather foolish to not have some semblance of prepper-adjacent goodies squirreled away. World War III would be a terrific way to cancel those pesky mid-terms, eh? No doubt he's got something extra-extra-unconstitutional planned for this November when it goes undeniably south for him and his on Election Night. If this were a amusement ride, I'd pull the emergency chain to get let off.

Where it will eventually manifest itself is during flight operations. Distracted people make mistakes, and the flight deck of a aircraft carrier is a busy, busy place.

He's seems clinically obsessed with being remembered. Oh, he'll be remembered all right.

My budget is still recovering from the $1400 alternator that went south this past March, so I'd be pinching the hell out of Ol' Abe if we still used pennies. These days, if I don't desperately need it, I don't buy it.

The malady catching up with Maher is the same one that ended Dennis Miller's career--their core audience inevitably comes to the rather disappointing realization that they're just not funny anymore. It's the stridency, Chuckles!

$20 says its only a matter of time before Trump starts targeting bridges and desalination plants. It's going to take American boots on Iranian ground to end this, and guaranteed it won't be pretty or settled quick. Welcome to the 'Ran, new guy!

Notice how all the usual suspects are conspicuously mum when it comes to current revelations re: The Pool? How does that crow taste, MAGAtroids?

$20 says this won't end like they think it will. That pesky Conflict of Interest thing portends...SOMEBODY'S going to loose their law license. Or have we thrown all that away as well?

I just assume now each time I enter any business--big or small-- or city/county/state office, put $10 worth of gas in the junker, etc., I'm being recorded from multiple angles. Not to mention if you use a debit card to buy anything, that transaction is recorded and your purchasing habits sold among data miners like baseball trading cards. They know you're going to buy those celebrity name Nikes looong before you do, 'cause they spent over $10M in TV/print advertising based on purchasing trends gleaned from YOUR data.

Society seems to be creating a future that will leave a great many behind, then find new insideous ways to criminalize their plight.

A decade or so ago, once I realized that a frightening number of my older friends my age were dropping like flies, it also came with the realization that I no longer required a cell phone, so I replaced it with one of those old school wireless phones that tie to the internet router. So Big Bro can't really snoop on me, at least not through any hand-held device. Fast forward a couple years, and everybody and their mother now is putting up ring cameras and you have to know the moment you walk through the doors of any business, you're being recorded--probably from multiple angles. So let that knowledge inform you dog walkers that your unneighborly nonchalance when it comes to curbing and cleaning up after your pooch is probably being recorded.

Trump will forever be known as Pele, as he is notorious for kicking his ball out of the rough regardless of whether or not anyone is watching. Bottom line? His golf game wouldn't survive actual PGA officiating, and EVERYONE who plays that sport knows it. It's obvious that to Trump, cheating is actually better and way more fulfilling than undeniably winning on one's own merit. An empty trophy for a empty, empty man.
