"Climbing up the chain of command, slowly but surely..."

Possibly but I wouldn't bet on any orders directly from headquarters. One of the lessons Trump learned from Roy Cohn was never leave your fingerprints on anything.

Possibly, but Stormy might have had herself dusted,,,just sayin'.

#8-Earthmuse, be sure to include the bit where Skeletor oils a nasty fart in the back seat of a vehicle stuck in traffic with the windows up!

#10 Danni, I agree with your expanded explanation of your opinion. It was well-thought out, and pretty much in line with my open beliefs. No leniency, and plenty of time in SERIOUS jail should be the outcome for those alleged seditionists who are found guilty. As relatives, former friends, and acquaintances are apprehended and charged, we'll see how things shake out.

The key to this is understanding the nature of the jobs being lost. First, consider the workerbees, many with serious skills which are needed to build the pipe. After it's built, a tiny fraction of those workers will still have jobs maintaining the pipe. The others will be S.O.L., especially if they're unlucky enough to live in Red States which refused to accept Federal expansions.

The future is coming, and more and more people will become "surplus labor." I am gonna go out on a limb here, and predict a sufficient-but-modest guaranteed income will be the future for that sector of the labor market!

One must be taught how to do critical thinking. American schools are failing here. If you took AP classes in high school, you're likely good to go.

Who among us is unfamiliar with the story of Icarus? JFGI, as the kids say. Thoughts and prayers...

EVERY word and phrase used by high school students for their yearbook must be run through "Googling" to avoid dumb things such as this! People who edit the HS newspaper and the yearbook are frequently smarter than their peers, and may be sneaking jokes into the publications, and also may have warped ideas of "What's funny."

I don't have time to work through paywalls. I'll try one or two other sources to read the story, then I'll focus on another story. I don't doubt there's a really cleaver trick to get past or through the paywall.

US dollars are just as imaginary as Bitcoin; but so long as somebody will accept your dollar, it's good. Be careful passing those $2 bills, though!

I think Ted is the only guy I've ever seen who grew a beard and ended up looking even more like a girl.

Ady Bryant, who, with a paste-on beard, portrays Ted Cruz on SNL, isn't helping. LOL!

NWA got it right, over twenty years ago! Revisit the album "Straight Outta Compton."

In the early Sixties in WI, when I was in the eighth grade, Civics was a mandatory class you had to pass. I learned the names of all 72 WI counties and their county seats. And also learned the names of all the city, county, state, and national office holders.

Our local incarnation of cable is Spectrum. If they ever went completely wireless, they could abandon their hardwired system that makes the air above the street VERY ugly. Of course, they'd have a hard time justifying their exorbitant rates after such a transition!

There may be unanimity in the opinion "Moscow" Mitch McConnell is an -------, and ought to retire before he gets booted.

A carpetbagger from Minnesota, RoJo has made his nest and infected Oshkosh, WI for decades. He married well, and his father-in-law gave him a local plastic bag factory to run into the ground. I look forward to working to hound this ------- out of the US Senate! Our other US Senator, Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), is a credit to our state and to herself.

#21...is it vacuum cleaners or cleaning products? Rainbow or Amway?

If one of those F-35's is worth a whole squadron of slightly older planes...if one become a hangar queen, does that mean an entire squadron is down? Asking for a friend.

Carls Jr. is the same as Hardees elsewhere.

Tomorrow, 4/26, marks the beginning of week sixty of our personal lockdown. We leave the house, always wearing masks when we step out of our vehicle, to fetch meds at CVS, and groceries at Pick&Save. I get all my meds from the VA by U.S. Mail. We maintain separate offices, and meet up in our respective butt-dents in front of the TV for Hulu+, Netflix, and Prime in the late afternoon. We have an analog antenna for local TV. We still seem to enjoy each other's company after fifty-two years!

Recently, I have begun hosting limited gatherings in my office or on the front porch with coffee and fast cinnamon rolls. Never more than two other people, and everybody has had their second shot...no exceptions. Sadly, some of our friends are either anti-vaccination or simply slow witted in general.

I reckon' you don't gotta be one of them jenises like Trump to grow it.

I heard tell that's why they call it weed.

Where is Johnny Potseed, now that we need him...or Jenny Potseed, for that matter?

If Wisconsin is not a legal weed state soon, as an older American at 74, I may have to move to the Upper Peninsula! It hurts and disappoints every time I consider the ramifications of Governor Scott "Turdwaffle" Walker's infamous Act 10. The Rethuglican-controlled WI Senate and WI Assembly continue to amaze and disappoint!

"I think I have taken many more classes in statistics than you as part of the actuarial science part of the degree." - Family Values

I, too, studied statistics; and we learned to apply math properly, insofar as you have to make sure what you're modeling does not make sufficient assumptions to make the problem disappear and the resulting model worthless! Sadly, a micro model of a macro issue is nonsense number-wanking.

Once again, the Chicago PD officer demonstrates how "pig" can be a verb. The cop-fluffing level is already insane here.
