    Or stupid enough to be convicted in a federal court by a jury of his peers for being a total douchebag.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Everybody knows the candidate is Trump, whom you assumed is the criminal I'm referring to; he will be convicted, and if you think otherwise, you are just kidding yourself or are full of Kool-Aid. Another stumble and another big oops; Trump's memory is slipping, and his apparent mental decline...

    I thought I would share these funny quotes from Steven Wright. They made me chuckle a lot. 1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. 2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back. 3 - Half the people you know are below average. 4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5 - 82.7%...

    My buddy Tom went to college and racked up a lot of student debt. He never committed a crime and had a squeaky-clean record. However, due to George W. Bush's ignorance, he graduated into one of the worst economic disasters. At one point, he had to choose between food and paying his loans, and he...

    It is entertaining, isn't it. In other news, RFK Jr. admitted in a NY Times article that a brain worm ate part of his brain, and he was also previously diagnosed with mercury poisoning, which causes serious neurological issues. 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and mental fogginess so...

    Let's forget about dogs. There were much more juicy, interesting things to discuss today, such as testimony in Trump's courtroom trial.

    Taking Life Back After Tinnitus: Distractions New and Old

    Thank you for starting this thread. I kinda unleashed my life story, which was very cathartic for me. I could easily double the length of this post by regaling everyone with where my wife and I traveled; it's quite a story. Sentimental reasons are why my bike has been in the garage dormant for...

    Suicidal

    I already know that I'm going to die of stage 3B chronic kidney disease (CKD), and I'm planning on having my friends and family present while I swallow the magic, doctor-approved elixir that will end my life. I also plan to have a smile on my face. Hopefully, my death will occur long before the...

    Dealing with Loud Noises and Hearing Protection

    Members of my wife's family are cops with loud, commanding voices. Her brother retired and is now a football coach. They only have one volume, and it is way too loud for me. I usually relax in a corner during family gatherings and try to guess what people are saying when they talk to me. I then...

    My passion is motorcycling. It started when I was 13, and a new neighbor moved in next door who was 1 year older than me, and he had a Honda CT70; I wanted a Honda CT70. After enough begging, my father gave in and bought me one. Terry and I were best buds who rode after school and on weekends...

    You know, if I participated in a deplorable practice the vast majority of people don't approve of, I'd probably keep it to myself. Not in the sense of being ashamed of it, but it's probably because it's an easy way of making yourself a social pariah for many. But if you don't care, then you...

    What’s the Last Movie You Watched?

    I just watched Captain Marvel. It was released in 2019 and just skipped my watch list. I really enjoyed it; it has a good story with character development and excellent graphics/CGI. But the only thing that kind of blows it for me, just a bit, is Brie Larson's voice. She has a kind of...

    Cruelty is 'a feature, not a bug' with many Republicans, and, in that regard, Noem is a true believer. Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren posted about this online: Joan Payton, of the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America, had this to say about the killing: Speculation is that her book...

    Kristi Noem wants everyone to know that it wasn’t easy for her to kill her 14-month-old wire-haired pointer, Cricket, for aggressive behavior. Noem’s decision to disclose in her new memoir that she once shot and killed a family dog is being seen as pure political self-immolation. Noem, until...

    Judge Alito said this today: Alito is being deliberately obtuse here. Biden is NOT going after Trump. Trump committed crimes and is facing consequences for them; it is that simple. He cannot be so stupid as to A) not see that Trump is the one who is destabilizing the functions of Democracy...

    Just like Mike Johnson, even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

    Maybe he can buy himself some happiness. He is sorely lacking it. Being in court everyday must drain what little remains of his capacity to seize the day. Right-wing media's sentiment/expectation that "Trump's going to dominate the courtroom" has fallen flat. As someone who has never faced...

    Hearing Aids Aggravate Reactive Tinnitus

    Welcome to the forum. This is a great place for commiseration, support, and ideas on how to calm tinnitus, hyperacusis, and other hearing maladies.

    Putin is functioning as a dictator/autocrat. They no longer follow or recognize their 1993 constitution, which declares Russia a democratic, federative, law-based state with a republican government. But the population still votes to keep the charade going. It's hard to have this type of...
