the pain women feel when giving birth. Men do get kidney stones. I had to call the ambulance when Mr. Lani had one. But of course that does not occur with the regularity of women giving birth! Yeah, tRump paid like $750 one year, 0 a couple of other years, I believe while in office. He would claim huge losses to offset his profits. I don't know if this is illegal, but it would have certainly undermined his claim of being a successful businessman. Oh well, his cult would just say he was so smart at beating the system. The article I read said the IRS has a longstanding policy of looking at every President's tax returns while in office. Some law that was passed after Nixon. But they did not in DT's case until the Dems kept after them. IRS supposed to be non-political.

Interesting that they're releasing Trumps taxes. The Chrisleys (?) just got 19 years in prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit tax evasion. With any luck, Donny boy may be joining them. Or is that just wishful thinking that anything criminal might come of the info? Hoping they get him somehow, in any legit manner for the numerous crimes he committed. If it's tax evasion, fabulous. If it's for the Jan 6 BS, great. Just pin him for something so we can wipe that smug look off his bloated face.

These quotes are from a Washington Post article about DeSantis:
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s petition for a statewide grand jury to investigate Pfizer and Moderna for “wrongdoing in Florida with respect to Covid-19 vaccines” is a political stunt, not a serious legal argument. This sort of pandering was probably inevitable, given still-simmering public anger over the pandemic. But that doesn’t make it any less depressing to read, especially given the low quality of the arguments.
… but no, there’s no point in dissecting it further because the purpose of this document isn’t to make an argument. It’s to make DeSantis president by exploiting populist rage about the pandemic.
Me here, guess DeSantis is just going to aim lower and lower in his run for the presidency.

If his white go-go boots didn't do it, he'll certainly find a way to embarrass himself somehow!

I'm certain trump will somehow get away with this. I doubt he will spend a second behind bars. His fanatic followers would take to the streets with pitch forks in their hands, whimpering about how unfair he's been, and is being treated.
He is their knight, their rock star, one of them. Lol. Sure he is. I can't think of anyone else who can identify more with common folk. Can you?

Lol. I've never given birth or had kidney stones. My comment wasn't intended to bash men. I can do that anytime. . It was to point out the obvious. Women push little humans out of their bodies, and so far they are the only ones who can. That's all. It was about women and women only.

Haha and here I had twins but have no idea what labor and natural childbirth feels like! I never went into labor so we just did a scheduled c-section! Thought you guys would enjoy this one.

My comment wasn't intended to bash men. Oh, I know. I didn't take it that way. It just popped into my head that you always hear kidney stones are equivalent to childbirth. One lasts a lot longer than the other though! I have not had either experience, personally. Digressing on men, Mr. Lani is a thorough wimp when it comes to anything minor, a cut, a bruise, a cold. Something major, like breaking a hip - he's a total trooper. Very interesting... Re: Zelensky, I guess that TV personality thing can go either way when they turn political. Perhaps a comedian is a better bet than a fake billionaire "businessman".

MTG called Zelensky a "welfare queen". For going around begging for military aid from various countries I guess. She's so special.

She's a piece of trash as is her counterpart Boebert.

I'll put up our "extremists" against theirs any day of the week, as far as mental ability, character, honesty, and any other desirable trait you can think of. Politicians on the left are trying to improve people's lives. The ones on the right just want - I'm not sure what they want, but it ain't good. Power, I guess, and then turn back the clock to the 50s.

Lani, you're exactly right. Bernie or AOC vs Gaetz/Boebert/MTG. It's not even a contest. I will not ever understand how people can be pro those extremists but have a conniption if AOC wants us to save the planet and ensure the working class is treated fairly and equitably.

I think there are many Republicans who couldn't care less about politics. Their parents and grandparents voted Republican and so will they. They could never vote for a Democrat. I understand. I don't think I could ever vote for a Republican.
The only way I can understand how they can be like that is perhaps they are exactly like them in a birds of a feather stick together way.
