I'm thinking of the probability that Trump will be elected President despite the fact that he's obviously a criminal and views himself to be above the law - and the fact that his fervent supporters don't care about this - they love him so very, very much - and the fact that he very well may be elected despite being convicted of one or more of the many charges against him

and it makes me remember the great quote from Alice in the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

the state of our nation just gets "Curiouser and Curiouser"

I would say that most of Georgia is nice.

Now, this is investigative journalism. And yes, we knew. Only thing left out was how much fuel used to transport all this stuff around.

But hey, hey you are carbon neutral if you just export it, eh?

The NY judge certainly is muzzling and embarrassing Trump, cutting through his BS like a hot knife through butter.

Another fine for violating the gag order, plus a finding that Trump in talking about his intended target was "not credible."

That should be Trump's epitaph, when finally laid to rest: "not credible."

Alphabet, the firm, dropped close to one Nike today ($157.6 billion).


The huge numbers don't make sense.

They're too large to comprehend.

And yes, nothing will ever truly be worth $1 trillion.

Those are imaginary values (Zimbabwe cash).

In my case it is too much traffic. I tend to fly in around 7:30am on Mondays and just going about 15 miles from the airport to the office on Mondays can take up to 2 hours.

I believe he left a little on the table, if she tests the 2007 low.

But we're close to a huge bounce.

I don't care for Bill much, but he makes impressive bets, including the $2.8 billion he profited a couple of years ago.
