As long as you don't need to take a shower- it was pretty full of the classified stuff. That whole thing seems like a Loonie Tunes cartoon. That man is something else.
Hey, why don't we make him our president ??? What a cool idea !!!
@racqueteer - the Smothers Brothers Show. Good times... yes, for sure.
I just checked DuckDuckGo- looks like either Trekkie or Trekker is acceptable to the cognizatti... :)
It's important to note that "Trump has a separate, ongoing immunity case. He has pleaded not guilty to four felony counts that allege he engaged in multiple criminal conspiracies to stay in power after the 2020 election. He is appealing a judge’s r…
In the last week I transferred both our joint trust account and my IRA from American Funds to Schwab. I did the whole thing online, with guidance via "Chat" from Schwab folks in Texas. Smooth as silk. Took two days and it's all done.
Thanks for you…
@Crash- I'll tell you what- when you find the perfect broker who meets each and every one of your non-negotiable demands, and has a record of perfect service for at least ten years, please let the rest of us know.
@Crash- I just walked into the local Schwab a couple of days ago- nobody there needed an appointment. You might need an appointment to talk with the branch manager though. I don't know about cash, but they take checks. How many brokerages (not banks…
@Crash- Mr Ruffles & others have it right:
Idle cash at Fido is swept into a fund which earns about 5% right now.
Idle cash at Schwab is swept into a fund which earns less than 0.5% right now.
It's going to be up to you to keep a close eye on …
"Democratic Mainstay" along with 16% of the public. I thought that I would be a bit closer to the middle.
And for @WABAC:
My Political Compass
I think that this one is really pretty accurate. Maybe I also have become more libertarian over time.
"it's not being decided on its merits"
At this point no one has actually asked the Supreme Court to decide if Trump committed anything.
The only question before the court at this time is whether or not it is within the purview of a state to disal…
@davfor- being in our 80's we are now at the consolidation/protection stage, so most of the financial info that I post on MFO is hopefully of some interest to younger MFO-ers still playing the game.
That's a long way of admitting that because of th…
@sma3- I was going to post your link yesterday, but didn't because of the subscription issue. However I just followed your link and I now see that there is a "free account" option available. That will likely pester you with free "newsletters", but y…
@hank- looks as if our read on this is accurate. Following are edited excerpts from
a current report in The Guardian:
US supreme court appears skeptical of Colorado ruling removing Trump from ballot
The US supreme court appeared skeptical of a Co…
@hank- hard to keep track of the Trump follies- almost need a scoresheet. Two different cases, two different questions.
The one referenced in this thread:
Q: Is the president of the United States "absolutely immune" from prosecution for any/all cri…
And just remember that there are a whole lot of people who believe that labor unions are responsible for this sort of thing, not the management which creates the operating environment.
Reminds me of a departure from DeGaulle- cute young things asks-
"What class are you flying sir?"
"Peasant class" says I.
"Excuse me?" says she.
"You heard me", says I, with smile-
"Yes, sir- that would be this line right over here- have a grea…
Well, I have to say that on the question of whether many of the European members of NATO were carrying their proper amount of the burden Trump didn't say anything that I hadn't thought for a very long time.
