    The Fake News Depot

    Does anybodu else think it's funny (and/or annoying) when people in the "conservative" media (they mostly all do it, but I'm looking at you Hannity) talk about Hillary and they bring up the deleted emails, they cannot do so without mentioning that she used BleachBit, as if that's in any way...

    The Trump Card...

    Thanks to the stage you have set and the criteria you will use, I predict you will be 100% correct in your vision.

    Thanks, but I just don't have a burning passion for lowered soot and NOx emissions studies.

    The Trump Card...

    "It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President." They know who they are.

    Best coolers?

    Coffee is currently just a hair under 5 cents per 8 ounces. So, 24 ounces you're looking at about 15 cents. A 24 ounce cup and lid, add another 9.5 cents. Tea is about the same cost as coffee, a tad less, but basically the same. As for the lines, on those online PFJ surveys, I regularly praise...

    Wondering whatever happened to this great idea!

    Not seeing the blatant hatred. Maybe I'm not reading enough into it. In any case, the fastest growing immigrant segments are those from the Asia-Pacific region (38 percent, same as Latin America and the Carribean), followed by Sub-Saharan Africa (9 percent), and then the Middle East - North...

    Best coolers?

    More than once, several times, I've gotten ice and a refill while standing right next to an employee who is cleaning up around the fountain station, and then a few minutes later that same employee is the one who checks me out at the register. Still wasn't charged for the refill. More than once...

    ?? EnerBurn (DPF) ??

    Thanks for the information. I do not claim to be an expert on EnerBurn, nor a chemist (although I am relatively well schooled in chemistry, albeit a long time ago). If my information is incorrect, it is because the California Air Resource Board, the University of Minnesota, and the US Bureau of...

    The Trump Card...

    Pretty nifty. I like how you did that. You have managed to set the stage so that if, at any time in the future, Trump lashes out at any targer for any reason, you can claim he is doing so because of his internal rage at being hamstrung by Congress in his foreign policy dealings with these...

    The Trump Card...

    Incidentally, the term Super-narc, or Super-narcissist has been a listing in the Urban Dictionary for several years. And speaking of Tapper, it's on YouTube, his Sunday morning interview with Scaramucci. It signals a whole new world in how the White House communications team will be interacting...

    Best coolers?

    If you use their cup for ice, even if you use it just to fill your cooler and then throw the cup away, you gotta pay for that cup of ice. Not only is there a cost associated with the cup, missing cups (from the register and thus from inventory) have a dramatic effect on the bookkeeping numbers...

    The Trump Card...

    Or, as is actually the case, he's musing aloud about his power to pardon in direct response to media reports that cite the ubiquitous and ever chatty unnamed sources that he asked his legal team about his power to pardon individuals including himself. It's not like he just started tweeting about...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, in the general sense, a pardon is nothing more than a kind indulgence that is asked for and usually given for some minor offense or discourtesy, or for the tolerance of some minor distraction or inconvenience. Fart at the dinner table and it's "Pardon me! I'm sorry." Stop someone on the...

    The Trump Card...

    One of my favorite bits of trivia is, before he was Elvis Presley's manager, Col Tom Parker was elected Dog Catcher in Tampa in 1941.

    The Trump Card...

    Certainly at the national level. Local politics, mayors, dog catchers, county clerks, maybe not so much. But Congress and the White House? You betcha.

    The Trump Card...

    I may have missed it, but I don't think Trump Tweeted anything about him pardononing himself, so that aspect of it is still a little iffy in the Fake News department. Makes for a great headline, though, same as it did for Nixon, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama, all of whom had articles written about...

    Oh, I know. :D Super-narc - someone who knows they're a narcissist, and wants to be the best darned narcissist since, like, ever!

    The Trump Card...

    I'm at the TA in Sparks, NV. I arrived Thursday night and when I awoke on Friday I found a note on my Sprinter's windshield informing me that there is no overnight parking, and that if I'm still here in 24 hours I will be towed. The store manager is off until Monday, and the corporate offices in...

    The Trump Card...

    That's why seven days before leaving office Obama changed the order of succession at the DOJ, to stack the deck against Trump if Sessions recused himself. Obama removed Dana Boente, the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, from the line of succession, and instead put in the US...

    Gotta replace "French" with "Spanish" though. :D
