mcgeo52 replies on Jan 12, 2020:

@Sticks48, my father graduated from the University, and my mother's parents lived in Austin. I have many fond memories of Austin. I have watched it change from a town that would double in population when the "lege" was in session and that had only one TV station (Ladybird's) to what it has become. I still like Austin, but these days I feel more at home in Long Beach. While Austin and Portland lay claim to weird, Long Beach is its own brand of peculiar, with a very healthy art, music, theater and literature scene. It also has a greater variety of food and better weather. Unfortunately, I realize that a lot of what I love about this place is living on borrowed time and it will eventually go the way that Austin has. P.S. A few of my favorite memories: Swimming at Barton Springs on a 100º+ day Walking from my grandparent's home down to the drug store and buying Lamme's Pralines Getting pecans from my grandparent's pecan trees The bats at sundown "Hippy Christmas" A dinner with one of my best friends at Threadgill's (when asked if we wanted anything else after desert, my friend responed, "Yes, a wheelbarrow to get us to the car").

Trump Blames Obama, Iran Nuclear Deal for Funding Iranian Missile Attack Against U.S. Forces in Iraq

moosepucky comments on Jan 8, 2020:

mcgeo52 replies on Jan 9, 2020:

@Killtheskyfairy, Reagan was elected due to the treason of GHW Bush and the others who negotiated with the Iranians. They were following in the treasonous footsteps of Henry Kissinger who lied to the North Vietnamese to get them to call off the Paris Peace Talks. Of Course GHW became President in large part because of the treason committed to get Reagan elected. Then a corrupt Supreme Court stole the election for W Bush. And following in the proud Republican tradition of treason before democracy, we got Trump. The last legitimately elected Republican President was Eisenhower.

When the evidence came to light that Trump was so blatantly abusing his office, it forced Pelosi to change her mind regarding impeachment. It was the Republicans who turned it into a political event. Remember the Republicans who stormed the closed hearing? Half of them were authorized to be there. That was BS political theater at its worst. You can't let them justify not removing Trump for his crimes based on their politicizing of the process.

Wish that were true, but impeaching Pence would likely have to be initiated by someone else, since the removal of them both places Pelosi in the Oval Office.

mcgeo52 replies on Dec 26, 2019:

You are assuming Pelosi wants the job. There are at least two ways she could avoid it: 1) Let Pence pick a new VP before he gets removed. This nomination would have to be approved by both houses, so Pelosi could give the RTepublincs their choice of a name on the list, or it defaults to President Pelosi. If I were in Pelosi's shoes, I would try this for ther good of the country. Give them a Republican, but someone the Democrats can work with. The single name I would put on the list is Olympia Snowe. 2) Alternatively, she canstep aside as Speaker long enouigh to let someone else hold the job and become President. Interestingly, you don't have to be a member of the House to be elected Speaker. All you need is 118 votes.So, Mitch, would you rather have Hillary, Nancy, or Olympia as the next President?

Trump signs the SECURE act

@Barnie2years, I agree. That was one of the considerations when I started collecting at 65 instead of waiting until 67. Also, I would imagine that you just did a straight calculation of payments over time and did not include present value (i.e., include interest if the money was invested). In my case the over time calculation came out to 92+. With the present value calculation it was over 100. How far over 100 depended on the interest variable.

@SeaGreenEyez, if he was a federal official he could possibly be charged with 18 USC 201( b )( 2 ), the bribery statute that Trump has so blatantly violated. But that does not apply to state officials, so I don't see why the FBI is involved, unless Gov. Beshear is going after the Republican AG, too. The applicable state law is Kentucky Statute 521.020 – Bribery of public servant: ( 1 ) A person is guilty of bribery of a public servant when: ... ( b ) While a public servant, he solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept any pecuniary benefit upon an agreement or understanding that his vote, opinion, judgment, exercise of discretion, or other action as a public servant will thereby be influenced.

@Davesnothere, I don't think it belittles him to be honest about the fact that his original intent was to be a Christian missionary. I think it actually speaks well of him that he was able to grow beyond that.

I remember telling them about Jesus one time and they said....

@Davesnothere "The Pirahas believe only what they see. What a setback for my missionary objectives." His purpose for learning the language was to translate the Bible into their language and convert them.

I agree with you. I also think it's a HUGE reason why 45 is fighting so damned hard to keep his tax records hidden. There is no doubt in my mind that the "deep state" is a republican construct.

@Davesnothere, If you would take the time to listen to the video before commenting on it you would hear that his linguistic mission was to translate the Bible, and tell them about Jesus. Sounds like a religious missionary to me.

@Cherie4444, if Pence pardons him, the NY AG will put him away for life. Trump's smartest move is a deal in which he resigns and gets a short stay at Club Fed in exchange for no time in state prison.

@Freedompath, because the House never bothered to do anything. I wonder how many Dems in the House own stock in the for profit companies "caring for" those children? Also, any state Attorney General, or local Sheriff could do something if they really wanted to.

@SeaGreenEyez, as a fifth generation Texan on either side of my family I can tell this one. A Texan died and ended up at the Pearly Gates where he asked St. Peter why God had not chosen Texas as the promised land? St. Peter got on the phone and asked god, then answered the Texan, "God really wanted to, after all it's such a wonderful place, but try as he might he couldn't find three wise men or a virgin."
