We are getting a flood of junk mail for someone who has never existed at this address. We bought the house from the builder 38 years ago (they had been living in it for a few years) and have lived here since.

Bloomberg posted yesterday that investors using a TACO strategy are earning 12%, compared to a 6% return on the Dow.
He only does 28% of what he says he’ll do.

I feel more and more strongly that calling any Republican pol stupid or unbalanced gives them an easy way out. They’re not stupid, they’re f’n liars, and they consider their constituents stupid enough to fall for the scam.
They are morally bankrupt, every damn one of them.
