He's probably a former FBI agent, and a Navy SEAL, too. -
Really? Because all I've really seen Pecker testify to, is that he intentionally placed his newspapers completely in the tank for the Trump campaign. And newspapers are allowed to do that. We have a long history of it. A great many people believe (incorrectly) that "The Liberal Media" does exactly the same thing.

Hey, c'mon. Without Trump not only doing nothing about Russia's first invasion. And his subsequent official US approval of it. The second invasion probably doesn't happen.

Yeah, I'm under the impression that, in order to get a stay on a court's ruling (that he owes this money), the person appealing has to show 1) That irreparable harm will occur if the ruling is enforced, while being appealed. 2) And that the appellant has a reasonable chance of winning the appeal. Now, I can kind of see how the first might be true. That, if the AG begins attempting to place tax liens on Trump properties, this could cause foreclosures and other sudden forced sales. It could trigger Trump being forced to sell properties, at well below market value. (Or at least, people will CLAIM it's well below market value.) I have no clue how a judge can rule that the second part is true.

Actually, I'm all right with raising the SS age. Although I'll point out, the words "Raising SS age" can have multiple meanings. To illustrate, I'm going to create an imaginary person who's "full SS" is 1,000/mo. And I'm going to pretend that "retirement age" is 67, and raise it to 70. What I'm in favor of is: Age (Current plan) 65 66 67 68 69 70 Age (My proposal) 68 69 70 71 72 73 Income 800 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 In my proposal, the "payouts" don't change. it's just 3 years later when you get them. The system becomes more solvent, due to people paying into the system for 3 more years, and collecting (the same) benefits for 3 years less. And yes, people can make decisions based on their own circumstances. They can still retire early (although the definition of "early" has moved), and collect less. And people have the option of working till 73, and collecting more. But from what I've seen, when Republicans talk about "raising the retirement age", what they're talking about is: Age 65 66 67 68 69 70 Income (Current plan) 800 900 1000 1100 1200 1300 Income (GOP plan) 500 600 700 800 900 1000 Yes, under the GOP plan, the guy who retires at 70 gets the same amount as the guy who retired at 67 used to get. But they haven't "raised the ages". They've "cut the payouts, but you can compensate for the cut by working till 70". What used to be "full income, but you can get more by working later" has become "that's the most you can get". They're not proposing "raising the retirement age by 3 years". They're proposing "cutting benefits by 30%".

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people are buying the notion(s) that The economy sucks. (And specifically, because of Biden). People should vote against Biden because he's anti-Muslim. People should vote against Biden because he's antisemitic. People should vote against Biden because he's mentally incompetent. ----- Among other things, people in here should not underestimate the power that a group of anonymous Internet posters can have, to influence people.
