Dino, only you could make this into something that would get a chuckle out of me! We must have the same repressed adolescent tendencies. Well said Sir!

Well, I certainly did not vote for this, or this guy ... I live in Arizona. I think there was some consensus, the New Yorkers are going to get what they voted for, yes? I figure that the quality of life in NY will continue to degrade until enough individuals decide to shrug.

If Trump is not making this move on Iran because Epstein got the goods on him and he's doing as Mossad says to do, the other scenario is one the oligarchs have always wanted: get established in Iran, use it to foment Muslim uprisings in the neighboring Caucasus to create civili wars in Russia.

Same scenario NATO used to smash Yugoslavia into pieces. Once Russia is in civil unrest and chaos, NATO steps in to "maintain order" and the oligarchs have access to the world's greatest storehouse of minerals, oli, gas, rare earths, and control of the Eurasian land mass.

But the most the EU and NATO can do with Russia now is ban their flag at the Olympics.

Hah, if I were a betting man, I'd bet NYC has been corrupt since before the British left.

Why not. NYC has been supported by corruption and thieves for more than a century.
Time for just desserts. I hope the innocent and ethical rationally move soon.

The fourth Amendment is dead. It has been replaced by Socialism. Mondami's election in NYC demonstrates the peoples vague desire for the protection of the State. And for that protection, people are willingly surrendering their privacy and property. Why? I don't know. Do you?

Most ideas and countries and empires have not lasted beyond 250 years. America seems hellbent on finding its place on the ash heap of history.

Do it! Take over. Implement the worst policies in US history! Ruin the place and demonstrate the failure of these policies!!!!!!!!

The worst is the best!

No. No it is not.

This action is because Iran refused to abandon its nuclear ambitions. They previously misjudged the US political position -> weak Biden, Oct 7th, but ... Harris didn't win.

I don't know why we put up with these idiots for 50 years. Iran is alone on an island in the Middle East, and a proper outcome, should put an end to the overwhelming turmoil there.

Mirrors show me a not so young as they say tell reflection too.
I know why.
I can remember what I USED TO LOOK LIKE.

I shudder to think

Thanks, dino. People have said I barely look over 50, but I look in the mirror and say "yeah, I wish!". Ha ha.

Yep, those pull-the-lever machines! My choice was Old Gold.

I smoked cigarettes from 16 to 32 and quit. Then at 38 I had a sweet cigar and kept it going until 61. I still want one from time to time and can swear I smell that sweet tobacco.

Sh-t happens, LOL! The Manchurian president exposed. Can you imagine if we got Hitlery after that instead of Trump 1.0?

Very interesting collection of graphs. One recurring thought jumped out at me right away. "Productivity" is a misleading economic indicator. I've always thought of it as "fewer people working harder". I don't see it as a great thing, overall. It can look great when overall employment is in the toilet and those working are working like scared bunnies trying to stay ahead of the wolf. Not healthy. Not how I want to live...Because I've seen too much of it in my generation.

Well written. I remember the one time I was at a DUI checkpoint. Didn't feel natural for me. The cop stood there holding and staring at my license for a good couple minutes, saying nothing. I just stared at him - zero emotion - until he handed it back and let me go.

Lately, I've been seeing a few videos of people rolling their window down just enough to pass the license - then saying, "I don't answer questions" to every question...and they let them go. My problem is that I think it's all bullshit and I'm at risk of saying so. Then, I know the Gestapo will get all wound up with the alpha dog act. I respect authority to a point...but respect is earned.

Haha...yep.

Me dino never cared for menthol. I'd smoke one if I had to bum one (for the nicotine fix) but I never liked it as much.

I was a Kool guy

Whoa, that reminds me! Of me! And coin operated cigarette machines! Now it all comes back to me.
There were times when little Dino would pedal his little bicycle over to a gas station's cigarette machine, make sure no one looked my way, dropped in the correct coins, pulled the lever and~~hey, remember all the cigarette jingles advertised on TV like "Winston Takes Good Like A Cigarette Should." Those were the very first smokes I tried for some peculiar reason,.
