Oh, and save your reply, you are now in the company of Rich Ravizza: blocked.

And the actuarial tables if Trump is elected will leave us who? Sorry buddy, but I now need to apologize to everyone I argued with claiming you weren't a simple troll. Thank you for your support.

Thanks Brent, another Earth World Record. Not that I need another, but maybe you should print commemorative T-Shirts. Anywho, you've been a strong supporter of the meme of our stumbling, demented, velcro shoe wearing, can't order a taco without recalling his dad calling him Joey President, thank your for your service. But now, after his SOTU are you still of the opinion he couldn't pour piss out of a boot over our partisan, misogynistic, female enslaving Supreme Court if the directions were on the heel? Or are you maybe, just maybe, willing to believe you had things a tad wrong?

"I'm gonna bring the country t-t-t-t-t-together," Trump said mockingly. "I'm gonna bring it togetherrrr." That is Donald J. Trump mocking President Biden's lifelong stutter at his Saturday Georgia rally. Please ask yourself if you are doing anything at all, no matter how tangential or trivial, that might contribute to this horrible sociopaths reelection. Oh, and the standard is not in your self serving mind but in the minds of the rest of us.

Um, do I need to be concerned about my lifetime Platinum status with Marriott?

Gotta be coincidence. What else you got?

The judge is allowing Carroll to object to the bond by Monday. To be honest, I've never put up a $90 million dollar bond, superdeas or not, so I just thought someone really needed to count out the moolah. But is a performance bond or IOU thing? The Insurance company that put up the bond might have some nefarious connections to Trump naysayers are saying. What's the scoop?

Well Musks jet was parked nearby Mar-a-Lago recently they say.

My favorite moment was when Biden stared at the Supreme Court and gave them a sharp and public rebuke. “With all due respect, justices, women are not without ... electoral or political power. You’re about to realize just how much …” Maybe, just maybe, if Biden wins and both houses go Democrat Biden will finally realize the only way to beat the Court is to pack it.

I was going to post the same but I need to lay off being such a downer even if there is no hope and the future seems more frightening by the minute and our leaders are conspiring against us and it won't be long before we're once again studying all night for answers and eating top ramen and struggling through the snow even in summer and with no place safe to go.

Yes, indeed. I'm happy with my outcome, too. I feel like it was my right way to go and I'm pretty sure I'd have been bored stiff at grade school soccer games. No going back, so there's that.

Sort of you are. No matter, you've chosen your journey because it suits you as did I. You like the idea of a paycheck and what that offers, I like the idea of what a paycheck does not offer. Your path was easy, mine was fraught with risk. We each have our results.

They also can't afford the rum or wine I drink. Don't be so pedestrian, I paid the illegal Colombian guy who washed and waxed my boat last week above market rate by a margin. You know, since a single gas station job I held for a week when I was sixteen, and after I was fired a 7-11 type job for a few weeks, I have never held a job for wages.So that mentality has never been with me, I just get after it. Maybe you can relate but I relate more to the guy who wants to open a taco truck somewhere.

Excellent point. We should have a national program to import as many double first quantum mechanics professors as possible, humorless or not, at any expense.

That’s my point, to your analysis every one who wants the best should go to America and that’s that.

Because we will sanction them if they don’t and support them if they do.

Costa Rica is not poor. Panama is not poor. https://www.wlrn.org/americas/2023-10-11/latin-america-panama-costa-rica-darien-gap

The Darien Gap crossing is serious. But it's not serious enough to stop anyone not a wealthy, self aggrandizing youtuber in search of clicks, apparently. I have no problem with Mexicans or Canadian Truckers crossing the border for better opportunities. But, when several countries conspire to accelerate the pipeline of immigrants through theirs and other countries to the US when those immigrants were already safe from persecution and there had better, if not world optimum, opportunities I call bullshit.

Economics and politics to the death were simpler then. Oh, and there wasn't the pox of social media infecting the nation.

Righto, but that was when it was only Mexicans. I remember when the Darien Gap was considered too treacherous unless you were a Navy Seal. Now the line through looks like an E Ticket ride at Disneyland. Now, I'll grant you that grimmie is a high value individual but were we told in advance 8 years ago that we were trading him for a half million central americans a year I think there might have been objections.

I think some people get the government they were born into or had shoved down their throats.

Thanks. I'll print that as a hand out to the guys who are washing my boat tomorrow.

I've spent several months on the ground in central America in the last year. I have met and hanged with a lot of people moving north for a better life. Good people and hardworking people in many cases but not all. Here in Panama, the gateway to the riches of the US there are a lot of Colombians and Venezuelans working not to get ahead but to move on. Talked to a guy tonight who works on our boat and is from Colombia. His life is better here than in Colombia but he wants more. That's the problem. In our country we have the right of free internal migration that we enjoy every time we cross a state line. But there is no internationally agreed to treaty of right of external migration. I am in no way opposed to bringing new people into the US especially if it reduces the average age of our citizens or residents. But country hopping north until you get the best deal seems not what we should encourage. And I should add that is even if the previous country get stuck with everyone they allowed to get to our border.

This has also aged very well. Now that our partisan and corrupt Supreme Court has, in their infinite wisdom, decided that we have a misogynistic and theocratic tricameral legislature, originalism and textualism be damned, I'd say the shit has already passed through the fan. I do have to say it was interesting to read that Evangelical twit Barrett's dissent where her only concern was scolding the liberal wing against "stridency" in their dissents. If that doesn't tell you where it's going I'm not sure what I can do to help.
