President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

P.I. was talking to my neighbor yesterday who owns a small home construction business. Employs a couple dozen men or more depending on the number of jobs. He’s the GC on some jobs and a sub on others. There’s work but a lack of employees as the ones who went home to Mexico for the winter can’t come back. Others have returned. Cost of everythin is going up, roof shingles, dry wall, labor, stone and brick. Our homes have increased in value more in the past 3 years Than in the previous 10. But it’s inflation because we can’t make a profit and buy something else because housing prices are rising. It’s fake value.

 

The Boston area market is such that olds such as myself can't downsize if we wanted to. A two-bedroom condo in Cambridge costs more, way more, than the value of my four-bedroom suburban home in what is a pricey town. So I sit here and let it appreciate.

 

Thanks for providing that.

This is what I assume might caught a few eyebrows to be raised:

What happened: ''Before the hurricane, she had a relapse. She was hospitalized two weeks and she stabilized. After the hurricane, we realized she was very affected by what she was seeing through the window, what was happening, and her condition was gradually aggravated until she died.”

Two deaths, 7-8 weeks after the hurricane hit, of people 95 and 96 years old, one of stroke and one "affected by what she was seeing out the window."

No mention of not being able to get medicine or of medical equipment not performing.

 

Willie can (or could) hit all the notes, too. And he can hold them well.
I'm not much of a country fan, but Willie Nelson is always worth a listen.

 

If Trumpists are allowed to use scientific measures and other provable facts to defend their positions, why is the reverse not the same?

That is a fine list but I'm reminded that only one person on it was a legitimate professional athlete, who appeared in 35 of his sport's biggest events...and often took to the Grand Ole Opry stage minutes later!

I'm reminded of a line I read in a column comparing the 1980 Democratic and Republican conventions: Glen Campbell did the anthem perfectly at the GOP convention, Willie Nelson forgot the words at the Democratic.

If ever there was an SNL skit in the making ...

 

At some point the video will surface of Dobbs in the hot tub with a 12-year-old boy.

 

Nice list on country music singers. But I think you left out a couple - Mac Davis and Dan Seals.

 

No, nothing will be worse than Cailou.
