    Fair enough. I attribute much of the reason Congress didn't do its job to stop the things you mention to the fact that Congress spent all its time voting to overturn Obamacare 60 times and doing virtually nothing else. I could be wrong, but that's my take on the situation.

    It probably is sort of shallow to want to be fairly paid and taxed,when there's always a whole world out there waiting to be saved.

    Maybe we should all stop being "Material" like Madonna and accept our dead end lives.

    Who really wants a level playing field, anyway? It's boring!

    IMO we should tilt all tennis courts and golf courses, too. Maybe even the ocean...for those with yachts.

    We could even shorten the legs of horses on one side! Think of all the great possibilities out there to tilt those playing fields like they ought to be.

    Maybe a list could be kept in each car repair shop of all the real tilters, and they could tilt car repair results,,,,?

    Maybe we can think of more---just give us time....

    Scroll back. You falsely quoted me adding this language "a nonpartisan secret service agent". Why did you do that?

    LOL! Nobody in the world talks like Trump. The book was clearly dictated by Trump. The ghostwriter claims that the book represents a flattering description of part of Trump's life.

    That is absurd. The book is just as unflattering to Trump has his debate performance and impromptu speeches. It is pure Trump with every sharp edge exposed. You should read it. His professional opposition certainly should have read it. There is no evidence that they have.

    Sorry, but I'm not sure who you think is ripping off whom.

    Those were show votes. A fundraising tool for both parties. The votes took very little time.

    “Politics in modern America has become a lucrative business, an industry that has less to do with policy and a lot more to do with accessing money and favors. … bills and regulations are often introduced not to affect policy change, but as vehicles for shaking down people for … money and favors. Indeed, the motive on both sides often has nothing to do with creating a “correct” policy but instead is often about maximizing profits.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, BuyVotes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 4.

    You Do I am sure actually realize that the downgrade from AAA to AA+ was because of the Republican congress's inability to deal with the defecit coupled with the endless gov't shutdown threats. Had absolutely nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with the useless Congress.

    Exactly. Thus they deserve their shakeup by Trump.

    German keypad. The symbol "ß" is the German "sharp s", which means double s: ss

    Mass

    can be also spelled as:

    Maß

    The ß is the same key on the German keypad as the ? (with shift).

    No, it's not an alien plot to take over the world. That's the Aluminotti and such.... no relation to them. :)

    I would just like to add in my oh so innocent and mild-mannered way that Hitler, like Trump, also wrote on the 5th grade level and his crappy book, "Mein Kampf", like Trump's crappy book "The Art of the Deal", was one of the most bought but yet UNREAD books of all time....

    - - - Updated - - -

    Exactly how are they "ripping the rest of us off" and since when do you decide who has rights and who does not?

    I was hoping that the reality tv performer, when he opted to make Putin's paid agent running his act less conspicuous, would have opted for the talented Eli Gold to salvage his sinking manure barge of a campaign.

    [​IMG]

    Instead, he doubled down on the show business approach, drawing a zany from the garish world of ideological entertainment.

    Casino Boy's make-over will demand a major salvage operation, but one essential aspect - beyond behaving like a decent human being - is to stop bad-mouthing the United States. It's insultingly obvious to many Republicans that he's lying to them.

    The Wall Street Journal noted the disparity between the reality and this trash talk:


    (As a general observation, someone needs to tell both the reality tv performer and Madame Secretary that the thing in front of them is a marvel of modern technology called a 'microphone.' Stop shouting at me!)

    Looking at Trump yesterday....


    it appears Kellyanne Conway was able to do what Lewandowski wouldn't do and Manafort couldn't do.....

    keep the rabid orangutan under control and performing the tricks he's trained to do.

    That is the problem precisely--the "I've got mine" attitude...Most notably expressed in the past b Marie Antoinette.

    This is the 3rd week in August. The numbers are not getting any better. Whether it was Cory, Paul, or Kerryanne...Trump better get serious or he's gonna lose August and most of September.

    What ever Trump believed his plan was...it wasn't working. I don't think it took Kerryanne to tell him that.

    You needlessly disparaged the Secret Service and refuse to take responsibility for your own posts.

    That is your problem, not mine.
