Remember my first flight in the 1960s when it meant a comfortable seat, decent food and courtious treatment. In the deregulated hellscape of contemporary air travel one has to put up with grumpy staff while jammed into tiny seats -- like sardines but we have to provide our own oil.

What I have always found so bizarre about this issue is that anyone can shack up, produce kids, etc. But marriage in a legal sense is about liability and responsibility for future actions and has nothing to do with the multiplicity of gender identities involved (divorce decrees, prenups, etc).

Its not real money, its shares and share options in his own company. Stock prices sustained by his pie in the sky rhetoric, not actual earnings. Another in a golden age of fraud.

Not counting all the government workers... wonder if any of the minds(?) behind this consider the consequences, to say nothing of the subsequent costs. Heading into a stupid reprise of 1929, deliberately.

Have a backyard weather station... change is visible even in that if one looks at the data. Like many other things, IMHO, conservatives are choosing the most expensive path forward.

I preferred Trumpistan... but what he has done to the formerly serene and dignified Oval office is just sad.

Only when that crime mob is rounded up and removed from the White House. btw, putting troops in the cities might be a warmup to cancelling the election due to 'insurrection'.
