Re: If Trump Goes to Jail
Sleepy Don has more of a chance of ending up in jail for violating his gag order than he does if convicted in any trial. Should he be found in contempt of the contempt order, no doubt he'd be put in a holding cell for a couple of days and would be isolated from the other prisoners for his safety. Th...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
I don’t see this as a thing the market will handle. It’s supply and demand - there’s not enough supply of real estate to go around. They aren’t making any more. I guess the example you used is near you in South Carolina, right? I thought that everything was cheaper in South Carolina. Guess not. Whi...

Original or Cover Songs
It's nor unusual for a singer or a group to play a song from another singer or group. Sometimes the cover song is better than the original and sometimes it's not. So what songs do you think are better than the original vice versa? Desperado: Eagles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aelpqWEBHR4 vs The ...

SNL's Bevis & Butthead Skit
SNL has had some funny skits but this one is one of the funniest I've seen in years. Ryan Gosling is Bevis and Mikey Day is Butthead. Heidi Gardner is playing an interviewer to Kenan Thompson and normally she keeps herself under control but she was losing it when she looked at Gosling and Day. Try w...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?
So, TFG's trial begin on Monday and it's projected to last six weeks. He's tried delaying the trial, to no avail, on a couple of occasions so he needs to do something to delay the trial. I'm thinking he's going to fake an illness to disrupt the trial and then he'll use his social media account to po...

Re: 1969 Draft
I had a draft number between 150 and 175 but I was in college and had a II-S deferment so as long as I was in college and passing I wasn't subject to the draft. One of the best things Nixon did was sign legislation ending the draft and the U.S. went to the All Volunteer force in 1973.

Re: Presidential ranking
The problem with this ranking is the lack of objective criteria. From the OP link: “To do this, we asked respondents to rate each president on a scale of 0-100 for their overall greatness, with 0=failure, 50=average, and 100=great. We then averaged the ratings for each president and ranked them from...

I was bowling when the eclipse happened so I didn't get to see in-person. Fortunately, we were on lanes 1 & 2 and on the wall next to lane 1 and behind the bowlers so we could easily watch and hear the news coverage of the eclipse.

And if a con man/grifter starts out with $50, makes $100 off his victim, gets caught and only pays a $50 fin, then he's made $50 but he's still a con man/grifter.
