That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
These/those people........I will not, can not express my total thoughts here, about the D.C. crowd.
Me either. I was thinking along the same lines as you, I'm sure. Do we pay these people to sit around having table-top exercises on ways to waste t…
It's a preplanned and, probably, now moot point. The vote in Congress was more to take Epstein out of the election in 26 than to produce the files. The President isn't up for reelection, so his merry men figured out a way to hold back anything they …
What is getting wrong with me. When I read about this judge's decision, what I saw was a Trump appointed judge rapidly kicking the case up to the Supreme Court, where, upon a decision in favor of the redistricting based on race (or anything else) be…
@Old_Joe You are probably right. I probably got misled by the phrase "threat traffic that grew" which sounded like rapid external input rather than an internal data base.
From the article linked by @yogibearbull we learn that AI is not an attacker or a malicious actor.
We have a new form of the "computer did it" from the 90s. Bolding mine.
@Old_Joe Tell me something. Does this read that the AI configuration generat…
Actually, I think the sudden support for release of the Epstein files is someone's realization that the President will probably not need to run again but will need to maintain his or his handlers control over both houses of Congress. (e.g. Senate - …
What is it that makes rich people so unhappy that they want to relieve themselves by beating up on poor people? (Trickle up does beat up on poor people whether you want to recognize it or not.)
And when does Vanguard back/trade my retirement funds in VangCoins instead of dollars? Will BoA accept my RMD in VangCoins or will I pay a fee to have them converted to BoACoins?
Time and greed may prove me wrong, but my instinct begs the question - Since when is the world's most expensive empty air TECHNOLOGY?
So, since the old "technology", starting with pennies, can be declared finished, does this mean when the dollar is…

I can play this game. Let's say I trick MFOers out of $1M dollars. Then, after I skim some profits from it, I can return $800,000 of the money and brag that I made MFOers $800,000 richer. I fail to be amused that so many American citizen's math educ…
He hung with them but didn't participate. The media is twisting all over themselves because the emails say he was a frequenter but don't have pictures of him molesting a child. So, it's kinda like me. I went to the pub with them but didn't drink all…
I predict that SCOTUS will adjust the circumstance such that they delay their ruling pending a change in logic and laws that the President's lawyers use as a reason for the tariffs. I'll go further. I expect a SCOTUS write up that clearly outlines w…
@DrVenture Ah, I get it now. Thanks. I myself never figured out whether I supported the filibuster or not. It does seem to moderate the government, but should the majority elected by the people be moderated? For example, the court appointments.
She's headed for Supreme Court (or at least she thinks she is) where it has been proved that low character favors decisions that ignore the law and Constitution.
Maybe the retaliation for the US vote in 2020 is planned bring down of the entire US population. MAGA may just be a nice sounding con. Who really knows?
.... This is a very interesting read from 2015. Mass deportations will absolutely accelerate the problems with population decline.

We are probably about to learn that our devout Christians on the Supreme Court don't get a rats about whether Americans eat much less get to have a say in how their tax money and tariffs are spent.
