monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

One of these days when my ex-wife stops getting her CO law mandated 40% of my pay, I'll be able to restart my 401k.

I am especially enthralled by the quality comments made by the readers of this sorry left wing rag, eh? Like, for example:

1. ******* nazi

2. If I run into him in DC I will report back here on what happened once I make bail

3. That is as brutal an attack on the first amendment that ever has been made in this country

4. This guy is the devil. And he is trying to steal our country. Not hyperbole

Your insights are absolute and astounding. I must make sure to read your posts more often.

Ah shucks. Tweren't nuttin.

He's tricky though, as he can be sardonic.

I think you two met, in 74?, That place, owned by Coppola, that was in the great building, but they may have been on the late side. I've shown photos, but I'm not in the mood to dig them up.

In 74? You mean to tell me I was that young? The biggest problem I'm having now is my bad memory.

'74? That year I was doing a study of roadside wildflowers in the Pyrenees mountains with Olga the German milkmaid who I'd fallen head over heels in love with when I came across her crashed motorcyle and saw her, unconsious, her blouse ripped away, lying in an unusually large patch of Aphyllanthe de Montpellier.

I messed up, it was 2004.

So it goes. There goes the word bank..

Thirty years. What the ****. They flash by in a wink.

I'll never live this down,

until tomorrow.

So do any of you remember the Coppola place?

Just a reminder. Tomorrow is one day. 24 hours.

Which time zone?

Antarctic.

Too cold for me, but not cold enough for the antarctic,

Re adjust, per favore.

And yet is the Democrats, and Obama in his last gasp after kissing ass with Putin for eight years, who are so enraged by Putin's embarassing them in their inept efforts to distort our election process. Suddenly we've got troops and surface to air missiles in Poland and troops in Latvia - this after eight years of acquiescence and retreat as Putin took a piece of Armenia all of Crimea, violating our Nuclear disarmamant treaty by seizing parts of Ukrane - all without even a peep. The now departed capon you so admire is far more deserving of your fatuous criticism above than our current President.

The contradictions here are rather stark: very hard to make this **** up. One wonders at your perception of reality.

Stopped reading there.

So important, he had to say it twice, eh, George? I have a feeling that you are now this >< close to being added to Blathy's ignore list. He don't cotton to no back-talk. He aint even gunna listen to it.

So now he's gunna "shut you out," just like Trump does to the press, eh?

Tell me CI? How does the 20000 stock market help the 65% of U S citizens who dont own any stock at all?

The stock market is a reflection of our economy and our faith in it. I have faith in the US economy, because that's all we can depend on for our standard of living. Our economy is pretty stable, because our economy is made up of many different products and services. Many countries rely on just a few, and they're at the mercy of high demand for them.
In today's world, the economies of all countries are dependent on the other. That's the reason free trade benefits everybody.

Working and saving for the future is something not everybody learns. That's one of the weakness of public education; they don't teach fiscal management.

Even today, most Americans do not save enough for retirement; the majority depend on social security as their only means of income. The average savings for 60 year olds is about $172,000. Hardly enough to continue living at their current standard of living in retirement - especially in communities with high cost of living such as in Silicon Valley where we live.

We are saved from the fact that I paid off our mortgage in the year I retired. Since then, the cost of housing has mushroomed.
