My Gawd, Trump did it!

Massive political comeback. Trump put the pieces together on this in a very effective way....(as I sit here with my "Make America Healthy Again" coffee mug).

I was out on the Pacific for a couple weeks fishing for tuna and the day we returned to port was election day. You could feel the tension in the air.

Now...We need to bring those to justice who need to be brought there....Those who say things in front of Congress like "the roof was too sloped", or, "We had no idea the virus would morph in that way". Those who were served by Epstein's operation. Let's decouple pharma from the government. Let's get SOME...ANY control of our borders. Let's have a little diplomacy to try to bring peace to the world. These things can happen. They need to happen.

    It's rare here for someone to assert such a patently false statement as though it were true. There is plenty in my head (of value) that is not anywhere on the web, and some that's only on the web because I put it there.
    I don't watch Mr. Rogers, so I don't take his words as truth, and I know not to take yours.
    A single counterexample suffices. Which e-payment software was documented with sample code for multiple software languages where each had different syntax highlighting, yet all designed to be clearly highlighted for persons with normal color vision and those with either Protanopia or Deuteranopia? When you find that on the web, be sure to show where you found it.

    Test of what? You'd be surprised how little I look up online and how much I already have either in my personal notes or, especially, in my head, where I keep a remarkable collection of oddments.

    You are invited to ALL of my future parties!

    But this reply, lovely and informative...

    Might have been running up the score...
    You are now the Chief Justice!

    The city is not involved with our heavyweight pants, though it is very old. It had a Phoenician trading presence 3,200 years ago. The competing Portuguese Lisboa and English Lisbon likely come form the Latin Olisippo vs Greek Ὀλισσιπών or Olissipṓn, Over time, initial vowels wear off and P sounds often soften to B.

    English and foreign city names often differ. We say Bangkok to refer to the capital of Thailand, Krung Thep.

    Levi's are named for the company Levi Strauss & Co. and its founder, Levi Strauss (born Löb Strauß). In response to the California Gold Rush, in 1853 he founded (in San Francisco) the first company to manufacture blue jeans. Jacob Davis, a tailor in Reno, Nevada got Levi Strauss to front the money for a patent on corner rivets, especially for pocket corners, to improve durability. In the 1940s, the rivet at the bottom of the fly was discontinued, replaced with a tack stitch. When sitting around a campfire, the copper rivet would become very hot, and upon standing, the crotch would pull tight where burning heat is unwelcome.

    For completeness: “dungaree” goes back to 1605–15, from Hindi dungrī, a kind of coarse cloth.

    The indigo used to dye blue jeans originated in India. The word comes from the Greek word indikón, which means "a substance from India". The dye color was extracted from the leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria plant. Indigo has been used for more than 5,000 years. In 1897, synthetic indigo was mass produced for the first time.

    I'm feelin' you, fairbro. I was in an active rock band for about a decade, too, but stayed clean. Good friend of mine who fronted another band in our region told me that a very recent Dem candidate for Pres used to go to his coke source with the former Speaker of the House in CA for their coke binges.

    Those SSRIs like Prozac can be very risky. My wife's former best friend completely flipped out on them after years of combining them with booze. We broke all ties but heard through the grapevine recently that she was just thrown out of a hair salon for flipping out there. Sad...

    How does that work? An autism diagnosis is the LAST diagnosis you want if you're going for "free cash". That's the most farcical thing I've read in a while. Who is paying all this free cash to parents of children with autism? That's an honest question because, so far, I'm in the red over $1M due to my son's autism and I'd like a little of that dough...

    I think drug companies advertise to buy favorable coverage on topics like mRNA heart issues, childhood vaccines and autism (and childhood asthma and diabetes, etc). All Trump needs to do to have any hope of having real science become a part of such coverage is make it illegal for pharma to advertise directly to the public.

    1950's grammar police, by Walt Kelly:
    ‘Do you herd sheep’ my grandpa said,
    my granma leapt in fright!
    ‘The grammer’s wrong’, to me she sighed,
    ‘have you heard sheep’ is right.

    Luv ya, SpiritWoman! I let the "nicey-nicey" go from time to time, too, and get a nudge under the table from the other half when I'm inflaming certain family members or acquaintances with my "honesty". LOL!

    I'm not familiar with that artist or his work so thanks for the link.

    "Politically correct" (PC) has morphed into "Woke", but it's the same rot. I figure it must have something to do with the dumbed down segment of our society requiring single syllable words of not more than four letters for expression. The rest of us are forced to use them so they can get a glimpse of what we are talking about.

    The side effects can't be all that bad. Just look at all those happy people cavorting around as the narrator is describing the side effects!

    Yes! If there is a real infraction like pouring hexavalent cadmium into the ground, the regulation agency gets the police or marshals to enforce or arrest it, just like any other violation. No agency force

    Wonderful idea! I never liked the un-American and unconstitutional practice of various agencies inventing their own regulations (not legislation created by an elected body) and then sending out an army of armed bullies to enforce them. These agencies, if still allowed to exist, need their ability to mete out death and destruction removed. The new marshals, as you suggest, can only enforce passed legislation, not invented regulations. Any regulations are free to be used as suggestions of how to proceed properly, but should be up to the people to follow them. They never should have the ability to fine, harm, or jail a citizen.

    "Oh, I'm so angry I can't continue!!" Same. When these conversations come up my favorite phrase is, "Pleeeease don't get me started!". It seems the teaching of any history nowadays is an Orwellian memory hole experience of the real history and the party's spin on what it thinks you need to know. The federal Department of "Indoctrination" is right on top of that shift.
