From Heather Cox Richardson today:
"Trump might also be concerned about money. After recently putting commemorative coins on the market, today he advertised Trump watches at prices from $499 to $100,000, although the fine print specified that the w…
Very funny @Anna.
My cats (exotic shorthairs) don't care for veggies either but they will lick the salt off Cheez-Its or potato chips. My sled dogs will eat whatever is in their food bowls.
@hank - well not for everybody I couldn't imagine a life…
More sinking:
"According to Barron’s calculations, if Trump Media’s share price falls below $13 a share, Trump’s paper gains since his company’s merger with the special purpose acquisition company Digital World Acquisition Corp. rapidly vanish. Tha…
@BenWP - I see it, hear it and experience it all the time. I've run out of ways to approach it without pulling what's left of my hair out. Folks just don't want to learn about what they think they already know.

It's been rumored that the issue might involve distributing futures trades/positions unequally among privately managed accounts. I haven't been able to verify that so I shot first thinking that I could always buy my holding back if I wanted to.
For anyone wanting to know more about the complex there is this story published by ProPublica Paradise Lost
I still would like to know more but it sounds like the complex is for privacy most of all.
Well the article served to soften my stance on Manchin a bit. When he was disrupting the Dem's party line it was portrayed as though he was mainly just protecting his coal mining interests. There still may be some truth in that but as he stated repe…
Yes IYK, consumer staples (think snacks, junk food etc.) which Giroux eschews.
Edit: Giroux eschews the consumer staples sector. I have no clue if he consumes the snacks and junk foods from companies in that sector or not.
@hank - I think that you might find some nuggets in this NYT interview with Sen. Joe Manchin.
"Manchin: I’m totally committed to a sensible, moderate middle that has no one speaking for them, that aren’t represented to the level that they should be…
