I’m watching “Mad Money” and Jim Cramer is showing that the Dow has lost 2000 in the first 10 days of March. So now the orange troll is endangering my retirement plans! 😡🤬

Pickett is an upgrade over DTR as a backup, but that’s not saying much.

Dobbins is always hurt. I’m OK with this signing.

Thanks for letting me know this. We don't have T-Mobile, but my son does so maybe he can get it and finagle a way for us to get it.

I was kind of thinking that. CTB can get in his head twice a year now.

Of course I caught that. However, Roberts wasn't appointed by the orange troll so maybe that's why he's not being criticized. 😂 I guess the MAGATs think that since Coney Barrett was appointed by the orange troll that she should be eternally grateful and rule in favor of him on every issue to show her gratitude. Someone also found a picture of her family online and posted it and I guess she adopted some of her children, including 2 Black children. Heaven forbid! Even Ingrid Jacques, a very conservative opinion columnist for USA Today whom I never agree with, is telling the MAGATs to knock it off. It's ridiculous.

He’s probably also against the infrastructure bill that Biden got through that did what John Boehner as Speaker of the House and Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader couldn’t do, and that is get money to FINALLY fix the Brent Spence Bridge.

Republicans
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/06/trump-republicans-amy-coney-barrett-dei-supreme-court/81843688007/ Trump Republicans are cannibalizing one of their own because, gasp! She dared to concur with a vote that went against Trump! So now Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump pick for the Supreme Court, is a “DEI” pick? They didn’t criticize John Roberts, who voted the same way. Wow. 😮 Just wow!

I heard my husband talking to his mother about this and I wasn’t aware of the terms, but I had a feeling that Trey’s contract just got more expensive. 😢

Report: Bengals are rebuffing Tee Higgins trade interest
Agreed. He's a headcase, too. All you have to do is watch his game against us year before last to see how CTB got into his head.

Brought to you by the party that claims to champion free speech. Puh-leeze. Also, how is dismantling the CHIPS Act helping the US? I thought we were trying to reduce our dependence on chips coming from China, and this BIPARTISAN bill ensures that. I think he just wants to get rid of it because it was something that Biden was able to pass.

Sam Hubbard retiring
I only wish that he could have won a championship at the NFL level to go with his high school and college championships. Best of luck to him.

War in Ukraine
Kind of like the orange troll can’t remember calling Zelenskyy a dictator. And how come Faux News isn’t all over the orange troll falling asleep 😴 in a Cabinet meeting? If it were Biden, they would be screaming “Cognitive decline!”.

I don't know about it happening in 30 days, but I think that there is going to be a very public, very nasty breakup between the orange troll and the Muskrat. Both of them have huge egos and are alpha males, and only one big dog can emerge victorious. If the orange troll gets any inkling that the Muskrat is usurping his position as top dog (and there have already been plenty of political cartoons already implying that), then the Muskrat will be gone. On a different note, I (unfortunately) was exposed to an interview yesterday on Faux News with the Secretary of Commerce, and he was outlining the reasons why the new "Gold" Visas was such a good idea and how much revenue the program will bring in. I know other countries do it, and according to him, the applicants would have to be vetted. Who here thinks that all this program is going to do is bring in more Russian oligarchs and Chinese millionaires? Just what this country needs.

Here's some karma for you
I, too, was raised Catholic and still go to church. What I find is that Christians who do live their faith, by volunteering to help the less fortunate, or work on social justice issues, do so anonymously and don’t need public affirmation, as Jesus preached in the Bible. So-called “Christians” who proclaim how Christian they are, but then cut spending to help those in need, tend to take their cues from the Old Testament, not the Gospels and New Testament.

Here's some karma for you
I worked with a woman many years ago who was one of these Christians. Wore a cross around her neck and was horrified when someone would cuss around her. She had been snippy in some of my interactions with her and also to some of my clients. When she turned in her two week notice to go to a competitor, she promised that she would not try to poach any business. Last day of work, she put flyers for her new company in all of our clients’ mail boxes. I replaced her in her position and very quickly made our clients forget about her. She came back some years later when our company had new management. Since we had a new computer system, she had to train on it and wound up training with my former assistant, who is one of the most foul mouthed employees in our company. 😂😂She only lasted about 6 months once she was in her own office.

Here's some karma for you
J.D. Vance's book "Hillbilly Elegy" is on a list of books targeted by the DOD for removal from the schools here and abroad that children of military members attend. The reason for the target is due to "gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics" in the book. You know, the stuff that the Republicans don't want to acknowledge. It has not been pulled yet, but could be. I'm against book bans in general, and I haven't read this book (nor do I intend to), but this one, if if winds up being banned, I find that hilarious. https://www.newsweek.com/was-jd-vances-book-pulled-pentagon-schools-what-we-know-2034098

Better these than Faux News, which IIRC, had to pay a 787 million judgment to Dominion Voting Systems for defamation of character.

War in Ukraine
Wrong again. Zelensky has a much higher approval rating than 4%. https://abcnews.go.com/International/zelenskyy-4-approval-trump-claims-50/story?id=118959595 https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-does-zelensky-have-four-percent-approval-rating-2033424 Maybe try watching something other than Fox News or Newsmax or Air America. Or even try fact checking before you post this crap.

Current State of things
"Bullheaded moron". Wow. I don't exactly know where to go with this one. I keep telling you I'm not some hard headed liberal. The reason I come out so strongly against the orange troll, the Muskrat, and the Republicans right now is because the policies they are enacting are hurtful. Thousands of government employees are losing their jobs, now the orange troll has just announced that he's rescinding the TPS status for Haitian immigrants (remember, the people that your lord and master claimed were eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio) effective this summer instead of waiting for the 2026 deadline that Biden had allowed. And this administration doesn't give a damn. They are showing no empathy whatsoever towards the thousands of people whose lives they are upending. None whatsoever. They're quite glib about it, actually. They almost seem happy about it. And for a supposedly "Christian" coalition, that smacks of hypocrisy. Right now, this administration is being run by a bunch of narcissistic sociopaths interested in only protecting the wealthy. And I and others on this board keep asking you to provide proof of what you say and you just ignore us. I think that deep down inside, you are starting to realize that the man you worship may not be perfect, may actually have a lot of issues, and that bothers you, so you rant and rave against those who disagree with you. Maybe you're the one who needs to "wake the fuck up".

Thinking of cutting the cord
Thanks for the info. I think we do have a Roku but it may be outdated. My husband's going to be the one who does all the research on this, and he'll probably reach out to my son for input also.
