The Trump Remnant

 Wondering why my neighbor still has a big Trump sticker on his van.  It's a mind-boggler..  Trump's approval consistently cratering in poll after poll but some folk still find cause to celebrate.  Help me out.

  2. Guy at work another one. Sticker on his rear window "Trump Won Get Over It." Yeah but two people are dead in Minneapolis because of it.

  3. Another attempt at doing my own taxes. Reading the instruction booklet. Many things don't pertain to me but read it anyway. Before you know it depending on your situation you need this form and that form and another form leads to something else. A real rabbit hole. You'd be sending your return via FedEx. The complexity is awesome. Sick minds had to invent this. Repeating myself but Trump could make this a hallmark of his second term taking the nightmare out of taxes instead of going after the migrants.

  4. The US id dotted with ICE detention camps.
    Ever read Solzhenitsyn's 'Gulag Archipelago?
    Rachel Maddow reports a number of companies that refuses to sell their property for yet another ICE jail. We took all our tax stuff over to our CPA. Robert Duvall dead at 95. Woman abducted by ICE in MN was an orphan from England, been here since she was 15. Crazy adminstration.

  5. Read that book in HS.

    The tax preparation industry. Read on a political forum once the government already knows how much we owe with a few clicks of a button so why do we have to file taxes? Just send the bill out and we can dispute it or not. There are millions and millions and millions of US taxpayers. Picture yourself an IRS agent and you just look at returns all day. I'd hate my job.

  6. Robert Duvall. So many movies so many roles. One of his earliest roles he played Boo Radley in "To Kill A Mockingbird." Later on the lawyer in "The Godfather." Great actor.

    1. Like you, he admired Marlon Brando.

    2. He looked like if he wasn't an actor he'd be a financial advisor.

  8. Trump has expanded ICE operations to go after green card holders. Glad my Visa card is black.

  9. Pope declined Trump's invitation to his 'Board of Peace". Permanent members must pay a billion bucks. I'm guessing Trump wanted a Cardinal's hat. UK arrests Prince Andrew over Epstein dealings - here we just pardon them. Latest total of Trump pardons this year = 1600+ Never a dull moment.

  10. Plumbing problems - daughter in Topeka got flooded basement. $13,000 to run new sewer line, No estimate on replacing the basement cement floor and installing a sump pump. Meanwhile, no water whatsoever. Suggestions?

    1. Biggest issue for me is the toilet not flushing. I usually have more than one delivery in the morning. I know thanks for sharing.

    1. In fact my late Dad said this to split the difference. He said go forward 30 minutes and leave it alone and he wasn't even a Congressman.
