I am so bored with Trump. Can we get an expiration date?

He is so over.

Are the Epstein files finally Trump's Waterloo?

Will the lies and the coverups finally stop working?

Or will Trump slither away again?

I own stock in Amazon and Google.

As an owner, I object to their bending the knee to Trump, making settlements and donating to the absurd, garish ballroom project.

That's money that could be used for R&D and dividends to shareholders.

JD Vance is joined in Israel by top Trump Mideast advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. What could possibly go wrong? /s

Another "deal" from the Felon-in-chief on Hamas-Israel war. It's half-assed, not thought out and has amateurs -- Witkoff and Kushner -- as envoys.

There are many more questions than answers here. And much bullying and blustering from Trump, who thinks diplomacy is like a crooked real-estate deal.

Follow the Fed? Trump thinks they shd lower the interest rate by 3 percentage pts. This is dunderhead economics.

Best case, Chair Powell is in charge until next March. Then, enter the whirlwind. A board of Trump lackeys will throw the US-world economy into the shredder.

Comments?

#usopen Hey, tennis guys and gals, stop your fist pumps.

They are, like many things in sports, vainglorious, self-aggrandizing and cliched.

Get over your rich, spoiled selves.

Second question: How can J.D. Vance be the vice president of the United States?

First question: You know the question and the answer.

My question: Who is the more dangerous of these two wannabe dictators?

Fifty years (8/25) since Bruce made "Born to Run" epochal for me. When I heard the album for the first time, I said "I've been waiting all my life for this music" (perhaps apocryphal).

I just took a lovely walk listening to the album that changed my life "in the wink of a young girl's eye".

I am in quiet Greenwich Village, Manhattan, tonight. Not a firework all day or night. I get it. Lots of immigrants here.

I don't like fireworks but sure don't like Trump shutting it down for people, esp. immigrants, who do.

Here's a piece from The American Prospect.

Wouldn't you think that DJT and the Repubs bemoaning "waste, fraud and abuse", there would be some news of *actual* waste, fraud and abuse?

I haven't seen any reports. Or even any media asking or answering the questions of where all the instances of fraud and abuse are taking place.

WTF?

What's up with YouTube? I pay $13 per mo. for "Premium" = no commercials.

There have always been annoying do-gooder ads on the PBS Newshour.

The newish Prof G Markets on YouTube has ads -- you can FF through them. Come on, Scott and Ed. Give us a break.

Also Prime. Really? I pay $100+ per mo.

Trump's mob-boss style demand that Ukraine give the U.S. its rare-mineral reserves is literally and figuratively a protection racket tactic.

Just when you think Trump and his enablers can't go lower or more disgracefully, they find a way.

I'm not surprised at Bezos and Zuckerberg rolling over for Trump.

I thought Apple's Tim Cook was better than that. Until he-Apple are giving Trump $1 million for his inauguration.

Someone observed that the Trumps were just casing the joint in the first term,

Second term they're cashing in.

Trump walks free. We ceased being a nation of laws.

What are we now? A nation of lies? Of greed? Of cruelty? Of christian nationalists? A nation of Trump?

Advice pls: I am disputing a year-long double billing from Google-YouTube and my @americanexpress.bsky.social and Bank of America Visa.

Google has no customer-service phone number. CC companies can't/wont't contact Google. I have gone thru the useless Consumer Financial protection Bureau.

Help?
