I haven’t been active here in a while so, what’s the consensus? Are we due for a correction yet or is it different this time?
JP Morgan and Wells beat earnings estimates. And that Larry Summers guy is chatting about how the Fed may have to raise rates one more time.
People love blue states for their liberal freedom loving ethos. No insurrectionism in NJ. That’s why prices are going up.
Nobody wants to move to GOP Christian fundamentalist south. Not even NJ rightwingers
D-FENS,
It’s different this time… or at least until the average price reaches $1,000,000 dollars. Then we’ll plateau for a few years before rising again.

We are at the top of the channel so a minor pullback is always possible here. But the continued slow melt up seems more likely. If Nasdaq falls below 15,400, then all bets are off.
Sorry,
That was the chart from March 1st. Here is today’s:

“Measles may be making a comeback due to all of the politicized vaccine misinformation.”
Wrong! Typical Dem stooge deflection. Measles does indeed appear to be making a comeback, but it’s because Joe opened the border to just about anyone that wants to walk in. Open borders have consequences!
Borders have nothing to do with it. All measle cases are tracked. 95% of the cases in 2023 were tracked to citizens traveling. Mexico has a higher measles vaccine rate than we do btw. Narratives, narratives, narratives.
The National Enquirer is probably more truthful than what passes for news today on your average news source.
Rockland County, N.Y., woman hadn’t told her obstetrician that she had a fever and rash, two key signs of a measles infection. A member of the Orthodox Jewish community there, she went into premature labor at 34 weeks, possibly as a result of the infection. Her baby was born with measles and spent his first 10 days in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The infant is home now, but “we don’t know how this baby will do,” said Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert, the health commissioner for Rockland County. When young children contract measles, they face a heightened risk of complications from the disease, including seizures or hearing and vision problems down the road.
The measles case Ruppert described is just one of many. New York state’s outbreaks, which began last October, have gone on longer and infected more people than any other current outbreak nationwide. More than 275 cases of the disease have been confirmed statewide through the first week of March, primarily in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and in Rockland County towns northwest of the city.
That total makes up about half of the 578 confirmed cases in 11 states that were reported nationwide by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2018 through the end of last month. Washington state, with 76 cases by the end of February, has the second-highest number of cases.
Measles cases in New York have been concentrated among children from Orthodox Jewish families, many of whom attend religious schools where vaccination rates may have been below the 95 percent threshold considered necessary to maintain immunity. The outbreaks began when unvaccinated travelers returned from Israel, where an outbreak persists, and spread the disease here.

“Borders have nothing to do with it…”
Do you guys have any hobbies other than shilling for Joe?
As per the AP, “More than half of this year’s cases come from the Chicago outbreak, where 61 people have contracted the virus as of Thursday, largely among people who lived in a migrant shelter.”
The anti-vaxxers treat the measles vaccine like the covid vaxxine.
And the pro-vaxxers treat the covid vaccine like the measles vaccine.
Why is this? One works one doesn’t.

Trust in “Science” medicine and the federal government was obliterated after the pandemic. That’s the heart of the matter.

We paid for the disease and the cure.
I remember watching a translated Chinese television news broadcast in 2020 where they blamed the United States…I thought it sounded nuts at the time. Now, not so much.
Regarding this college debt relief thing; imagine just finishing your loan after years of monthly payments just to turn around and having to pay someone else’s loan? And not having a choice? Instead of taxing people even more, perhaps this administration should target universities for excessive tuitions? Since the government can extort your money, maybe they should tax institutions of higher learning to offset the loan forgiveness? Why are we to pay for someone’s degree in transgender yoga activities?
“ Horrifying—Massive nationwide measles outbreak has now spiked to 7800 cases in the small country of Kyrgyzstan (pop 7 mil)—2x the 3,811 cases from Dec 2023 UNICEF report.
Anti-vaccine disinfo is the cause.”
Florida has experienced an outbreak of measles. Americans are paying the price for an irresponsible Florida state health official and a slow-to-act CDC amid a measles outbreak, where the ignoring of early warnings and the flouting of science-based guidance echoes what we see in the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, though, the virus is well known and has an incredibly effective vaccine. Yet most of the country seems to be in a watch-and-wait mode — all while we are stumbling into a looming disaster with measles.
Florida officials are providing scant details on the size and scope of the measles outbreak, deeply worrying experts, and leaving everyone in the dark. State and local health officials and health professionals should lead regardless of action by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, because what is happening in Florida will most assuredly not stay in Florida.

My federal tax liability is markedly higher this year. I’ve been surprised at my change of attitude towards taxation now that I am older and enjoy a higher HHI. The handouts were bearable in the beginning but [expletive] is getting old.
Point me to a no tax red state where I can join the owner class and off I go!
Very Stable: And don’t forget about some of the Arab community in Michigan a blue state advocating death to America and death to Israel. Would you be ok living with them?
Fast
I’m so thankful we drive older cars and shop at Aldi so we could save for our kids college. Now instead of paying for our kids college loans we get to pay for strangers student loans.
My federal tax liability is markedly higher this year.
I was thinking the same. And the HHI is basically the same as in 2022. It’s being like being mugged without recourse.
lol, he quoted Eric Ding
The Universities are bloated with admin. That’s where all the money is going. If you look at Rutgers, they make it rain with 100 million dollar buildings every year.
Russian state media called out former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, saying that he is looked at as “the destroyer of America” amid discussions of the 2024 presidential election.
While speaking with Russian presenter Vladimir Solovyov about Trump, the pundits played a soundbite of the former president’s interview with Fox host Sean Hannity. Trump can be heard saying, “Ukraine is being obliterated.” The clip of the broadcast was shared on Twitter by Julia Davis, founder of the Russian Media Monitor watchdog group.
Soloyov responds, “And it will be destroyed. Who needs it? Who needs Ukraine where they don’t respect Russians?”
Andrey Sidorov, deputy dean of world politics at Moscow State University, then responds, “Trump is coming. Think of him as you will, I always saw him and still see him as a destroyer of America.”
“The size of you utility bills are not the result of inflation, but the amount of MAGA Gaslighting you are doing.”

Trump Media is now trading below $31. That’s a far cry from the intraday spike to nearly $80 on March 26, the day it went public on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “DJT.”
In fact, anyone who bought Trump Media at the closing high of $66.22 on March 27 has now lost more than half of their money.
The steep selloff has put a dent in former President Donald Trump’s net worth.
Trump owns a dominant stake of 78.8 million shares in the company, which generates little revenue and is losing users.
At the closing high for Trump Media’s stock price, the former president’s stake was valued at $5.2 billion. The value of those shares has since plummeted to about $2.4 billion.
BRT,
You will always find the most incredible architecture where taxpayers foot the bill. Why build a train station when you can build the Oculus. Most of that 4 billion went to the pretty entrance. By the way, the floor is crumbling there and half of the unnecessary retail is still unoccupied. I’ve never seen more beautiful buildings than the Essex County College buildings in Newark and West Caldwell. Heck, the Dept. of Public Works is a ‘works of art’. The Essex County vocational high school is absolutely incredible as well with it’s recent 32 million rehab. Newark Tech is another spaceage building. I think that was a 16 million makeover. Hospitals too. Drive through Penn or CHOP down in Philly and you would think you were in Berlin. When the public is paying, who cares about the cost?
Google some of these buildings. What a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.

“Regarding this college debt relief thing; imagine just finishing your loan after years of monthly payments just to turn around and having to pay someone else’s loan?”
I think it’s nice to see the government bailing out the consumer for a change. Instead of Wall Street.
Imagine considering appointing the man who made four billion dollars off off the subprime debacle to be Treasury Chief. Trump just raised 50 million at his home.
Though, I suppose, it only makes sense Trump would ally himself with someone who made his fortune betting against America.
Lib: Fast has a valid point, with all due respect I don’t think you should have dismissed it like you did. How about bailing out all the consumers who paid their student loans or just paid out right.

Pay your taxes!
It’s a privilege to live in America. And we need to pay for our armed forces and socialist universal healthcare for boomers.
Try Somalia if you want to live tax free
1:18
You do realize those loans aren’t vanishing, it gets added to the national debt so we get to pay for it.
And why should I be thrilled people get their loans wiped out? When do I get reimbursed for going to a state school instead of private or out of state? Where’s my refund on the student loan I paid off?
3B,
I’m all about moral hazard these days. I swear, half the people I know work off of the books. Why does it even matter any more? How did all of those EV subsidies work out? On the college loan tip, we all know college got that expensive since the government made the loans available to everyone. We sit and we bitch about how the Boomers stole it all and are screwing the current younger generations who can’t afford a home or a car, evidenced by how many have moved back home with home and dad. The the government throws them a tiny bone and we are all up in arms?
Listen, I’m against all of it. But our government is bought and Biden is buying votes.
In the ideal world, the government wouldn’t intervene with anything accept guaranteeing basic rights. Will never happen.
You want to hear something fucked up? I probably paid close to half a million dollars to get the D to where he is today. If we lived in PA, I would not have had to pay a penny. A few years ago, I tried to recover some of that dough through NJ’s catastrophic medical coverage. We didn’t qualify? Want to know why? Because our 401K loans and early IRA distributions, which were taken to pay these catastrophic medical bills, counted as income to the NJ catastrophic people.
Our government, is completely broken. Both parties are a cancer. Though, Trump is a stage 4 cancer. If you can’t see it, then so be it.
My goal is save enough to get the fuck out and make it so my unfortunate son will have the best life possible. The hell he went through, no one should ever have to. Sure, we could have done nothing for him and left him as a cognitively impaired vegetable for society to take care of, but that wouldn’t be fair to him.
At the end of the day, I’ve seen it all and know how it all works. We live in a giant corrupt society. I don’t fault immigrants for coming here, nor do I fault the assholes on Wall Street for trying to bankrupt us all. At the end of the day, the only strategy is to try to beat them all at their game. There are opportunities to exploit everywhere. Turn off the news, read some Reddits and do like your leaders. If you kill a few innocent countrymates along the way, so be it. It’s the golden age of selfishness. You down with PPP? Yeah you know me. 800 billion dollars, almost all of it to rich people who profited off of Covid. And we are creaming in our pants over < 200 billion in loan forgiveness. All I am saying is that there are much bigger things to worry about. Like how much we just wasted on the Ukraine. And how much is it going to cost us when Russia invades the next so-called independent country?
“Where’s my refund on the student loan I paid off?”
I paid my full ride, with my own money. You don’t see me bitching.
BTW, is it a triple witching Friday or something? The market has gone from a sloth to a yoyo this week.
Then What do you call your post at 1:52?
HMB,
I just got my mail from the mailbox. There’s a menu from a local pizza place (Panzano) with coupons inside. The coupons can only be used if you are paying cash. If we had a government that cared, the IRS would be auditing their tax returns right now. Cash only my ass.
Only suckers pay taxes in this country. Now where can I find the lowest paying job with decent health care coverage? That’s the American Dream.
And I see, after I filed an extension with NJ for my investment club that is based in Florida, NJ finally fixes their electronic filing page, just three days before the club taxes are due. NJ is one of the only states that makes non-resident clubs, with a single partner in NJ file with NJ. I love this state. And no paper filing allowed either. They are equally as bad with grantor trusts. Ask me how I know. I dare you.
Had D’s IEP meeting this morning where a few of his instructors complained that he gets tired a lot. No shit-sherlock. The dumb route his short bus takes, turns his 20 minute drive to school into an hour each way. We complain endlessly. The public servant making 6 figures responsible for busing doesn’t care. And you wonder why I’m leaving?
Total outstanding federal student loan debt $1.60 trillion, it’s been nearly a 60 year long program after all. Just wipe it all out…..Nothing to worry about really as we have unlimited credit.
“Nothing to worry about really as we have unlimited credit.”
Now you are beginning to understand how it works.
Our next lesson will be, “Why is the red team against increasing the IRSes ability to audit tax payers?”
Lib – Drug Dealers need to pay their fair share too. Underground economy is about 12% of GDP around $3 trillion.
How about a flat rate of 20%? That 600 Billion will go a long way to paying the US Treasury debt interest.
I had this crazy idea. We would hire individual accountants from the private sector to audit every department of government at every level. Each accountant would be paid .00001% of the savings they find. We would use the rest of the money saved to balance the budget.
I say legalize all drug use. If people want to kill themselves, why not let it generate some revenue. Just don’t kill your unborn children, because there is no way to profit off of it.
Stu in 2024
Lib: I don’t disagree with anything in your last post. Save to say the student loan thing. It’s one to talk about the endemic corruption committed by both sides, and all the money pissed away, and Trump and Biden neither of whom I support or would ever support. Nor do I believe the BS media , and that includes Fox, MSNBC, and CNN; they are all bad.
The student loan thing however, hits closer, and is more personal, and that’s what causes the outrage. And yes it is justified.
“…show me on the doll where the librul touched you??”

Government isn’t bailing anyone out…you and I are. You’ve moved up a notch or two in wealth and liquidity. Feel free to take those gains of yours from the last few years and give them to some other family to repay their debt. I prefer to decide myself where my charity goes.

Maybe I’ll become a tax accountant. Cash only. Only the smart people would recognize my savviness. Everyone else can pay H&R Block $200 to fill out a 1040EZ.
You guys are right about the college loan thing. It drives me effin’ crazy. But honestly, not as much as seeing guys like Angelo Mozilo walk away without one hour of prison time or a penny in fines. It’s good to grease the palms of congress and especially the ass of Barney Frank.
Lib – My cousin does forensic accounting. He charges 20% of what they get back.
He hates lawyers more than anyone I know, once his team finds money that a company can charge back a vendor etc it becomes a contract dispute that the attorneys settle for pennies on the dolllar shrinking his cut sometimes to peanuts.
One recently was millions and he was due quite a bit, and the attorneys killed his payday.
Angelo Mozilo, the original orange man! He received an Albert Schweitzer award. Go figure. Schweitzer was an Alsatian polymath. Look that term up!

“Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter,” Vice President Dick Cheney said when the Bush administration sought a second round of tax cuts in 2003. This fits with a rich tradition of conservative tax-cutters abandoning deficit hawkery when they want to hand money to favored groups.
At the time of Cheney’s famous nostrum about deficits, in 2002, he was lecturing a skeptical Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill that the expensive war in Afghanistan was no reason to scuttle a push for new tax cuts. An unmoved O’Neill was fired. President George W. Bush got his tax cuts. A bitter O’Neill fed Cheney’s quote to author Ron Suskind (the Michael Wolff of Bush’s first term). The deficit exploded. And Cheney was proven right—nobody cared.
Missiles just fired at Israel from Lebanon.
Is the War is about to expand?

They got rid of the 1040EZ, I used to fill mine out in crayon.
Made my 14 and 15 year kids sit with me to fill out their first 1040’s yesterday. Son said what he got back wasn’t worth the hassle. Told him it gets worse.
I’m not really “bragging” but just tellin’ it like it is, I had a sweet Temp gig teaching this year and the enrollment was down and they cut “specials”. I’m registered as a sub, but I don’t really care for that. So here I am. I made a pizza run to Sherman Oaks and brought back some nice NY style pizza for the wife. She loved it, Perfect timing between calls. I actually know how to make a woman happy and can tell you that it goes way beyond money. I can’t really take seriously any angry vitriol from divorced losers on this board who spend their days ranting about women and “Biden”. It just makes my laugh. When was the last time any of you losers (you know who you are) actually got laid????
Not my measure of interpersonal relationships but not missing either.

Seriously, I know I can find a carbon copy old Pumpkin post, right down to the blonde wife providing financial support. And old M3.
Hey, relax, I’m not you. Okay, Self respect? Dude, I spent a dozen years in Tech, did two IPOs. Ran with the big dogs if you will, folks I started out with are masters of their universes. Big Time. Did I have the same chance? Not really, My educational pedigree is dubious compared to the Stern Business School folks of the world, and I figured, If I couldn’t make it in Ver 1. of the web, when everything crashed, I wasn’t interested in slogging along while everyone picked up the pieces. So in 2003 I began a teaching career, Saloooot Pumpkin, I was home, close to my kiddo who was ready for school, and my high flying (literally) traveling wife was flourishing and not worrying about what was happening back home. I’d always wanted to teach, So there it was, what I experienced mirrors the experiences of many in the field, but I toughed it out for 14 years. Got a modest pension and moved away, Leaving behind tenure, a bigger pension etc etc. I was IN by the way. I was there for life if I wanted it. I miss the hell out of those people I worked with. When I moved to CA they granted me a 5 year temporary teaching certificate, so I used it! Worked in DTLA (insanity), the Foothills (more insanity), The Valley (weird but amazing) and finally the Conejo Valley, — Paradise.
Yeah, I’m fine, I’ve been somewhat selfless for my lady friend over the years, but my Goodness, if you knew her, you’d be in the same boat. She’s one in a million.

UPPER FREEHOLD — Near a bank on the Assunpink Lake, an English teacher at Hamilton High School West and one of her students were discovered in the back of the teen’s car in “states of undress,” by officers from New Jersey Fish and Wildlife on Sunday, officials said.
After teacher Jessica L. Sawicki, 37, of Point Pleasant, was read her Miranda rights, she admitted to Detective Kyle T. Clugston that she and the teen had been meeting often to have sex – at least five times since December – at the same place in the 6,393-acre state-owned wildlife management area, according to the affidavit of probable cause that outlined the charges.
The intercourse had been unprotected and always took place inside the student’s car, she told State Police.

The Biden administration just announced a plan for 30 MILLION student loan borrowers to receive debt relief.
This would allow so many people with student debt to buy houses, start a family, go back to school, and so much more.
Genius idea, we just cleared your $300k student loan debt so you can now take out an $800k debt for a home.
BRT – They are only going to go whole hog right before the election. Any legal challenge will be pushed until after.
Current forgiveness is based on the Covid hardship legislation. Next round is an Exec ordered based upon the original 1965 law.
About 10 million (older) voters right before the election. Heck I would not be surprised if they have the balls to send a refund check for any payments made.

Lib, you may have proven his point via that link. The South American and African color codings show they have relatively low vaccination rates to the rest of the world for Measles.
Even the link says: “While the most recent Chicago outbreak spread within a migrant facility, the index case didn’t come from the shelter. Measles was just able to find the shelter, which was a huge unvaccinated pocket with ~50% not having the MMR vaccine.”
Now, the conclusion that the author seems to draw is that it’s not because of the migrants because the initial case that infected them. That’s some Pumpkin type logic there. I guess if an anti-vaxxer contracts, measles, it’s not their fault either. The measles vaccine works, and at the very least, they shouldn’t be letting large swaths of unvaccinated into the country. They possess an inherent danger to children that are not able to get vaccinated due to health issues. I would expect you to be sympathetic to that idea.

Measles Only spreads from infected person to unvaccinated. It’s not Covid it does not live in the sands of the beaches and on the apples in the grocery store. There are no pangolins or bats carrying the virus around either.
Unvaccinated people are bringing it in from outside the USA, as it was eradicated here 24 years ago. The don’t ask for your vaccine status at the ports of entry. They only want to know if you are carrying around cash, drugs, fruits, or meats, and they don’t ask about a Covid vaccination or any other disease.

Headed up to Wayne NJ today. Since the town is pretty muck lilly white we should trounce them, our striker is a Brazilian kid, and we have Juan who can barrel through five defenders like they were standing still. Too bad we are not allowed to run the score up more than six goals.
Chi, standard Murdoch Rag Editorial. It never asks the question why Trump got rid of what O had set up in the first place. It just frames it as Biden reversing Trump.
If you want a deeper understanding of the main issue underlying the whole argument try this.

Fuuuuuuck Trump
Shell corporation. Just sounds very creepy.
A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC; /spæk/), also known as a “blank check company”, is a shell corporation listed on a stock exchange with the purpose of acquiring (or merging with) a private company, thus making the private company public without going through the initial public offering process, which often carries significant procedural and regulatory burdens.[1][2]
The old Islamic holy men in bed sheets have launched their drone attacks on Israel. Old Joe ready to act.

But But, Joe said don’t , just don’t. We are getting closer to WW 3, Joe is completely worthless, gas and inflation will probably hit brand new highs. Is this the beginning of the end???? Will stocks tank?
Looks like war with Iran is inevitable now.

Ironically our strategic oil reserve is down to 65%, with no plans for replenishing it this year. Our country is in a very bad position. The consequences will affect all of us if war escalates .
Grim: I agree.
The US has been prepping for war with Iran for 20 years. We’ve placed our chess pieces well in advance building bases around their entire country. We even moved all our troops into the middle east a few months back waiting for it. Now the match has been lit. The US politicians love it.
Exoatmospheric interceptions. Seems it more than drones, the Iranians launched some heavy missiles perhaps the Shahab-3 that fly at over 200 miles up.
Israel’s kill vehicles are known as the Arrow 3, they cost 2 million per shot.
Israel can fire back ICBMs too even nuclear tipped ones.
BTW we kicked the Wayne’s Boys arses… 3-1. They played well it was windy as heck..
Some massive McMansions being built up on Alps road…
Speaking of roads, they need to resurface most of them. Valley road is a mess of teeth jarring potholes. I am glad I drove my truck.
Just understand what I said before about ICBMs and warfare. Israel had the first ever instance of space warfare when it shot down a Houthi Missile (supplied by North Korea I think) with one of those Arrow 3 back in October. They don’t have that many. I would think we are going to take every Patriot Battery we have and deploy it there now.
Then there are the real ICBM interception by our Aegis system on our ships, we will probably have every one of our destroyers in the Med and surroundings seas if we don’t already.
Damn, it’s on baby.
I’m afraid that this’ll only strengthen Biden as the incumbent. Yo.
Lax: Seriously? Biden undermines Israel publicly , ( not that he should not have privately expressed concerns in private on the massive loss of civilian lives in Gaza). Yesterday or the day before Biden is asked about Iran attacking Israel, and Biden says Don’t, and today Iran does it.
Biden does not project an image of strength in the world, and Iran, Russia , China, North Korea are not afraid of Biden or the US.
This of course is not an endorsement of Trump, just an observation that Biden is perceived as a weak old man, and the bad guys are acting accordingly.

During a speech in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump claimed that President Joe Biden ‘can’t put two sentences together,’ but despite this claim, it was Trump who appeared to struggle while attempting to deliver his remarks.
Trump opened his speech by commenting on the recent attacks on Israel and attributed them to the United States showing ‘weak nicks.’
While discussing one of the many legal cases against him, Trump referred to Rolling Stone as a ‘magastine’ that he has never read. Trump visibly struggled when attempting to use the term “illegal alien” and instead uttered a collection of noises that are difficult to transcribe.

It will cost 10x as much as it does in PA and will be delayed for 3 years as cost overruns take hold.
BRT,
Since fuel is a big part of the cost, expect even more. With this skirmish in the ME, plus the reformulation, expect gas prices to rise. Increased inflation will follow.
First world problems, should have aske the Lord what to do.
Family who got their nine-year-old son a pet octopus reveal how it upended their life and destroyed their home after giving birth to 50 babies
Cameron Clifford, a 36-year-old dentist, bought a female octopus for his son Cal’s ninth birthday
The octopus arrived larger than expected ended up hatching a total of 50 babies
The family spent more than $3000 on food supplies and water damage repairs
I’m afraid that this’ll only strengthen Biden as the incumbent. Yo.
LOL!!
Lots of missiles flying yesterday and today, bombs blowing up everywhere.
What are God Jesus doing today? WTF.
I have to work weekends.
I think I will just worship the sun.
You’re getting a bit ahead of yourself. Some stuff was launched with advance warning. Most if not all got picked off. US said it would not be participating in a counter strike on Iran.
What I’m most curious about it why the UK is taking such an active role in this?
I have to work weekends.
The democrats thank you for your blood and money. Please die when you’re done so we can bleed the next generation.
There is no question that Trump is losing his marbles too. It is one of the reasons that his behavior is becoming more extreme.

As noted, all in all a pretty weak response from Iran. But smart in that they recognize there’s no need for a direct, all-out war with Israel to achieve their goals — isolate Israel and especially weaken it’s ties with the US (check; large portion of Dem party hates Israel at this point), support proxies in maintaining a low-grade siege of Israel and generally causing havoc throughout the middle east (check; Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah), and most importantly, don’t give the lazy and weak Biden admin any reason to enforce sanctions or otherwise disrupt Iran’s military/nuclear buildup (check; Biden Blinken and Nod are more likely to sanction Israel than put any pressure on Iran). The Biden years will no doubt be looked upon as a golden era for the mullahs.
Chgo: Just an observation but I am surprised on how long Trump has held it together with the onslaught of legal proceedings against him. Maybe, it’s all finally getting to him and he is unraveling.
Juice,
Here is your teacher. Imagine being married to her and you find out she has been banging her students. You still owe her, no fault divorce in N.J.

Juice,
I posted too soon. Here is some fresh meat. It’s an epidemic of Cougars.

As a practical matter, there is no good reason Trump should be in good health. He obviously does not take care of himself. I’m sure his diet is pure sewage. Most of all, he is old.

Warren Buffett eats McDonald’s every day. Some people are just friggin lucky. Trump fits the bill.
50 baby octopi That would make a fantastic seafood salad.
My mommy spanked me when i was a wee lad.
