Independent97,

I was mocked by the WW2 and Korean vets for participating in an embarrassing war.

Did you find a similar experience at the American Legion?

The only veteran's organization I ever joined was the campus veteran's club when I returned to school in 1971. We were pretty rowdy.

Almost every death diminishes us. The exceptions include a celebrity's death. I don't as a general rule, follow or even care about professional sports. What's sad here is Kobe's taking others with him while ignoring common-sense flying suggestions. Flying next to steep terrain in fog? Jeebus tap-dancing crow!

Karma is coming for us. Better get ready

That Karma, she's a harsh mistress! I would never tempt her!

I have refused to join the VFW, even though I am eligible, because when I got home in late 1970, and showed up at the local VFW Post I was mocked by the WW2 and Korean vets for participating in an embarrassing war. Now that their membership is getting grey and dying off, they're begging me to join. Sure.

A Third Party protest vote or abstaining is a vote for Fat Nixon, AKA the Candycorn Skidmark!

I get it, and I am worried. My question is, "Does anybody who matters even care about any of this?" I want to know, because I am not watching Hulu+ or Netflix when I'm doing this.

ANY business ought to be allowed to die after a misfeasance or malfeasance. "Too big to fail" has NEVER been a good descriptor of business survival. Boeing ought to have bought sufficient Congressmen and Senators by now to effect anything Boeing wants.

PG&E definitely has some responsibility, and I think its BS that they can just declare bankruptcy and the execs really aren't affected in any meaningful way. But, people who live in fire prone areas should assume the risk and be held accountable as well.

Risk can be presented in the cost of insurance for flood- and fire-prone areas. Building and rebuilding on hurricane beaches and riverside flood planes can be discouraged. If Americans can get government flood insurance at less than market, people will continue to build and rebuild with stupid choices.

I used to be an incel, once a month.

Thank God for menopause.

Once the baby machine is deactivated, making whoopie becomes a 24/7 possibility. I was snipped in 1982. I can no longer "get it up" without chemical help. I get ----- pills from the VA. Once a week works for us.

Old joke: A lecturer is talking about sex frequency. He surveys the audience, asking by show of hands how many people have sex once a day. Then once a week. Then once a month. Finally once a year. There is a guy in the back at the end, waving BOTH hands frantically. The lecturer asks him what's up. The guy hollers back, "TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!"

Thank you, and tip your server. I'll be here all week.

Oinkity-oink-oink!

Voting in Wisconsin is fairly painless if you're registered. If you cannot get your act together to register to vote, and also determine your place to vote, perhaps you ought not be voting.

In Wisconsin, the battle lines of voting are already drawn. Republicans and Democrats will likely not be changing their votes. The key to the election will be getting all the people who either chose to not vote because Bernie wasn't the candidate, or who didn't care about the outcome; and here we are.

My wife has an elderly laptop {Lenovo, i5, 4GB RAM) she uses to surf the Internet Webs, running WINVISTA. She converted it to Linux years ago, and it still works.

"Krakatoa Katy, she ain't no lady...."

Turn on auto-update and restart Firefox.

"Gal_Tuesday I think I owe you an apology."

Thanks. I never targeted you or anyone else in anyway. Wouldn't know how to even if I wanted to, which I didn't/don't.

I work as a volunteer at the local Seniors Center. Old people seem peculiarly vulnerable to computer malware, including actual viruses, keyloggers, et al. We usually run Superantispyware (FREE), Malware Bytes Anti Malware (FREE), and CCleaner (also FREE). We have a stable of free Anti-virus products, including AVG. Google "Free anti-virus."
Old people also love their pr0n. I offer tips on safe surfing if anybody asks.

#7 | Posted by gtbritishskull, The National Socialist German Worker's Party was as left as they could be. They hated international socialist and Communist, which was the Soviet Union or allied with the CCCP. You might need to read some history, like the Nazi platform they got elected on. Yep, the German people elected Hitler.
#8 | Posted by Zed, Tell me when the Trump supporters organize street gangs and attack people on the street. That seems to be the soul domain of the black block/ANTIFA.

Whut!?! We seem to have a non sequitur accompanied by a fallacy. Again, whut!?!
Settle down, Beavis; try it again.

Can you imagine living eternity stuck with nothing but Trumpers?

I'll take my chances that God, with all the wisdom of creation... would send Trumpers back to basic training.

Dear 503jc69,

Maybe they'll all be reincarnated as newborns in Somalia or some other Sub-Saharan sxxthole.

Best,

Are we only concerned about the cute and cuddly animals, or are we concerned about the death-spiders and nasty bugs as well?

Does this mean Puerto Ricans will still be U.S. Citizens, or what?

#28 Aborted Monson,

Sirrah,
Have you looked carefully at the participants at a Trump Rally? They are mostly old people, fat people, and deplorable people, none of whom will EVER have to worry about donning a uniform. Their children, on the other hand, will become Trump's cannon fodder.

Jeebus Crow, somebody get this old fool Joe a stiff drink and park him in a comfy chair someplace else.

Personally, I think this is all the plan and option B is the end goal.

Trump is an unpopular POTUS going into an election year. Starting a war by painting the other side as the aggressor sounds like something the GOP would do to keep their hold on power. They've done it before.

Dear JPW,

Sadly, when the blowback from Trump's insane view of Economics evolves to fruition, the bottom 99% get dumped upon. Register and vote the rascals out, people!

LOL
The first nonsensical "Bombshell" BS news article of the year designed to foster hate from the left.

Dear Phester,

Not to worry; my dislike for Trump and his henchpeople is like a banked forge-fire that NEVER goes out! It will flare righteously in November 2020!

Love,
