I think Weissman wrote volume 2 and Mueller was mostly a figurehead. Mueller was mostly a shell of his former self by the time he was brought in front of Congress.

I agree Trump’s lack of decorum wasn’t surprising. (Edit- I guess I just expected something less harsh from him.) I am surprised at some of the righties on X who are posting vitriol. With the exception of truly horrible human beings doing inhumane things, I don’t think publicly dancing on someone’s grave has any class. It’s OK to say “ding dong the witch is dead” in private and keep your mouth shut publicly perhaps until the funeral is over.
An interesting watch

The last Dem to give a stock market tip/direction was Waltz with Tesla at around 225 !

How'd that work out ?
Tesla has been hovering around $ 400 since the Minnesota Governor wanted stockholders to sink the stock price.

Minnesota Government Employee Pension funds had about $ 200 Million in their funds !

Luckily for them since Waltz wanted them to lose their pensions the $ 200 Million has INCREASED by approx $ 200 Million to make their pensions happy.

My understanding is that after WW1 the US became isolationist because we lost a lot of lives in WW1 and the world did not get better (WW1 was proclaimed the war to end all wars).

The Allies won largely because of the Americans joining the fight. The Germans had settled with Russia so could concentrate their forces on the Western front, except there now were lots of Americans on the Allied side.

Woodrow Wilson put forward 14 points for a fair peace. The Allies ignored all but one that established a League of Nations and we know how that turned out. The result was an unstable Germany and the eventual rise of a madman. With strong isolationist sentiments the US largely stayed out the war until Japan attacked.

What is the parallel today? I'm not sure except that the Iranian govt is Hitler level of evil. If we follow the Obama doctrine of fake red lines, evil would have nuclear bombs. Tump is doing something different. I hope Trump is right.

It is rumored for most of it being turned into cash and she carries it in a money belt on her person.

There is no truth that sweat has ruined the cash. Just a good airing out is all that is needed.

The lingering sweat smell will dissipate !

Fanni is asking for a loan of $ 17,000,000 from her to pay the Lawyer fees she owes.

I am taking my first trip to check out CR in July. I now like them more :)
My Mom was born in CR, while her Dad operated a steam shovel at the Panama Canal site.

The air in Panama was thought to be bad. The cause of Malaria was still to be discovered yet.

It is family lore that he was one of the 2 steam shovels to meet in the middle to complete joining the East/West ends. (Like the 2 RR engines to meet in Utah for the driving of the gold spike.)
