Hold my beer, please. I need to vomit. How can such absurdity be allowed to happen????? I long for the kind of absurdity that simply just makes me laugh.
Tanduay Rum is sold here and probably everywhere. My brother in law says the stuff we sent him by barge was extremely strong, but the "proof" was just standard issue. I guess the swill he's accustomed to is watered down junk. But it carries the Tand…
Yes, the ordinary metrics and tools of analysis can't be useful in the current situation. The Orange mayhem truly is unique in our history. I don't think Donny is capable of leaving a thought (or fantasy) unexpressed. There are no guardrails. The ma…
Might take some "fired" employees simply conducting a sit-in, refusing to leave. Not enough cops to keep up with all of the removals they are supposed to do...?
Ya, I saw the same stuff, too. Might be some inaccuracies. Yet the Orange Despicable-ness certainly does behave and make decisions more consistent with one who is a Russian asset than a patriotic US Chief Executive and leader of the FREE world.

the labor leader said that the country's labor force has been in crisis mode since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed and that…
Where should I put my money???
"Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo …
At Crash. You say “the next election is no guarantee of change” I would suggest that the next election is not guaranteed to happen. Think about that. Let’s say the polling predictions indicate a 25 seat gain for the pro democracy movement. Thin…
I hate to sound like a broken record but what’s happening now is now normal politics. Not repugs vs dems, conservatives vs progressives. This is all about he who is openly seizing state power and tearing up the constitution vs the rule of law and …
Getting tired of writing to my senators:
Tired of writing to you.... are you going to let him scam the country some more? Really crypto... maybe his and Melania's... --- what a joke and congress says nothing. Crypto is only for laundering money an…
Surprised myself, after a quick check of the chart, YTD. My Junk is holding its own, but my core-plus fund is doing better so far, this year, amid all the turmoil.
TUHYX 1.46%. Yield is 7.32
PRCPX 1.56 Yield is 7.03
WCPNX 2.25. Yield is 5.06

Yup. economic bludgeoning. But "come and join us! Then you won't have to worry about being economically bludgeoned. See how nice we are? Come on down!"
Same logic the fundamentalists use: God loves you more than you'll ever know. Take Jesus into yo…
Murky, hell. It's a coup, as I've been saying. Domestically, a coup by the 1%. In terms of foreign affairs, uncle Vlad is the Orange Putz' puppet master.
...And heaven help us. The Orange Felon is taking orders from his buddy, Vlad.
From The Lincoln Project. Orange Donny will LOVE this one:

I'm not so optimistic. My thought: "Is he dead, yet?" But JD Vance is a spineless pile of dung, too. Next in line is Mike Johnson? Send in the clowns. There ought to be clowns. ...Don't bother, they're here.
But THESE clowns are traitorous, dangero…
...There is also concern that the U.S. is playing with fire by putting faith in such a volatile asset.
Crypto is subversive, unpatriotic, and ought to be criminalized. Think of the damage it does, every passing moment, to the value of the dollar---…
I can't see cuts coming at all, until some simple, added stability is provided, politically. The tariffs, even with the exceptions and partial delays on some goods, just have everything all jumbled. Inflation will RISE, not fall. For those who know …
Crash. My remarks were not about Israel but eddie’s absurd and historically anti semitic statements about Jews owning the US government. You completely missed the point. And where were H and H and the rest of the off topic cops?
Yes, I know you were…
In 2009, I paid $1.51 for a euro. Lately, it was $1.04. Right now, it's $1.08.
The instability, confusion and lack of direction politically right now has a lot to do with the dollar's recent fall. Back in '09, we were in the midst of the GFC.
Surely, Edmond's remark about Israel controlling the US is tinged with hyperbole, sarcasm. I find, from careful, studied attention to this business through the years, that the AIPAC lobby very much gets their way when it comes to steering US Middle …
