    Biden never had them scattered all over that was the Orange Jesus. Biden notified the National Archives and the DOJ immediately when found, also he had very few. This opposed to the hundred+ that Trump had and tried to play catch ‘em if you can with Archives and DOJ. He was never entitled to the under the Presidential Records Act which I recommend you, your MBA and FYI read and learn something.

    I would have kept tapes in my clothes hamper.

    I do not have TDS which you clowns made up that anyone who disagrees with Trump has this. No, I’m not a sore loser, he won fair and square allegedly and I accept him as my next president. I don’t have to like it but he is my president. Now, that I believe he mentally challenged drooling idiot who doesn’t know anything is my belief to be true. Like my list of ten things I previously posted, only time will tell. I suspect that you will run and hide metaphorically if what I posted comes true because if nothing else, you, like trump are cowards.

    It was the second one, I had a brain cramp. I suggest reading his book The Paranoid Style of American Politics and other lectures. It’s from the early 50’s and was quite prescient in his subject matter.

    Congratulations on your victory and sometimes history has a twisted sense of humor. What troubles most is the Alien act of 1798, the Insurrection Act which allows him to suspend the Constitution and the ability to suspend Habeus Corpus. All trials will be before a military tribunal. Maybe our newly elected Congressman can help us out on that, provided he has ever tried a case, never said he has.

    Wrong again!

    Trump had his locked and stored in Mar-a-lago, which by the way, was guarded by the secret service. Biden had his, unauthorized to have documents, not only at the University of Delaware, but also piled-up in his garage...guarded by nobody...or maybe dope-smoke'n Hunter!

    If you voted for Kamala after suffering thru the last 4 years, YES you do!

    Dear carptrash,

    Please read about an explosion that occurred about a month ago in my hometown, O'Neill Nebraska, a small city of 3,500 people. It wasn't widely reported nationwide but it is noteworthy.

    It is an Irish Catholic town in north central NE. The Catholic church owns about three city blocks where the church, rectory, elementary school, high school and hospital are located. About 6 a.m. on October 8th a large explosion destroyed part of the high school and a massive fire ensued. The explosion knocked out windows of the elementary school and blew off the doors of the new emergency room entrance. Patients had to be transported to a hospital in a nearby town and pregnant women had to drive 20 miles to the nearest hospital for deliveries. Classes were cancelled for about ten days. When school reopened, students had to attend classes in alternate sites around the town. One building, which was originally built as a convent for nuns, was totally destroyed. One part of the elementary school was so compromised, no one was allowed to even enter to retrieve books and other learning materials. It will probably take the rest of the school year to deal with the insurance companies and rebuild. Only recently, four weeks after the explosion, the hospital has reopened and is admitting patients and delivering babies. The financial impact on a small rural hospital will be felt for a long time.

    Fortunately no one was hurt. If the explosion had occurred a couple of hours later, there would have been students, teachers, additional hospital staff and patients in the area.

    Why is this important? The explosion was caused by a low impact collision, caught on camera, with a natural gas line into the school building. The theory is that the driver of the vehicle had a medical episode when his vehicle hit the apparatus but he didn't report it. He was a 58 year old Guatemalan national with no driver's license or insurance. To his credit, the driver returned to the hospital and cooperated with authorities which is why this information is available. Due to his need for kidney dialysis, he had to be life flighted, at the taxpayers expense, to Omaha almost 200 miles away. The explosion had made the part of the hospital for dialysis inoperable.

    This is a case where a town of 3,500 people has been impacted by immigration. Is there compassion for the man who unintentionally caused the explosion? Of course, he is a sick man if he is on dialysis. However he was driving without a license and didn't have insurance. Our immigration laws have to be strengthened to prevent similar tragedies.

    This is Democrat compassion.

    A Federal Emergency Management Agency employee has been fired after they advised their disaster relief team to avoid homes with signs supporting former President Donald Trump while canvassing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, the agency’s administrator said Saturday.

    Unfortunately, immigration has always been a problem with who came here. Even the first immigrants, leaving out a few boatloads of people coming for religious freedom, were the assholes England wanted to get rid of. Even the great wave from 1890 to 1920 was the one that brought us the Mafia, communists and anarchists in the last third, and many that wanted to avoid conscription in their former country. Complaining about them has been going on for centuries. No different than today. I don't think it will change. I'm sure there are federal judges waiting to do what they can to stop anything Trump tries to do.

    Dear Janet: This is a very tragic story, but what I found objectionable in an earlier post was the the claim, "Compassion starts with your own family and citizens!" I do not, I am happy to note, find that in your story.

    I would not worry about this too much. "Donald Trump leaves the White House having appointed more than 200 judges to the federal bench, including nearly as many powerful federal appeals court judges in four years as Barack Obama appointed in eight." Then there is always the Supreme Court.

    Reread my last paragraph. Yes, there is compassion. What about your compassion for the displaced students and teachers as well as the hospital staff and patients? This is just one example of having lax immigration policies that impact our country's legal citizens. O'Neill has a large hydroponic tomato plant. Six years ago the US Immigration service arrested nearly 150 workers and individuals who were here illegally. It was the largest raid ever in our state. The ringleader, who owned a Mexican restaurant, had brought them there and took a portion of each paycheck from the workers. That is a type of human trafficking that we need to stop.

    Another story of my hometown, O'Neill NE. It is the home of William Froehlich, the attorney who prosecuted Al Capone and put him in prison. https://www.nytimes.com/1980/02/06/...ustice-aide-attended-law-school-at-night.html

    When I graduated from college as a speech therapist, I went to his home everyday to give him speech therapy since he suffered expressive aphasia as a result of a stroke. He was an amazing man. A legend in O'Neill because he raised his family in O'Neill and traveled to work in Chicago on his private railcar. He was a founder of FDIC, owned horses that raced in the Kentucky Derby and was the first lay person pictured on the cover of the Catholic Digest. Unfortunately four of his five children suffered from alcoholism and one destroyed his mother's finances before she died.

    Also, I suggest reading Bill O'Reilly's book Killing the Mob. I was surprised to read how the mob was involved in nearly every aspect of our lives in the 1950's and 60's including Hollywood, transportation, and many enterprises. It's an easy read and I am sure one of the Sun City libraries can get it for you. In fact O'Reilly's whole Killing series is interesting and well researched. For our more liberal thinking friends on this site, his "Killing" books don't reflect his political opinions. I have read Killing the Legends, Killing the Mob, Killing Lincoln, and Killing the Witches. I am looking forward to reading his latest book Confronting our Presidents.

    I read your last paragraph. Compassion is big enough, in my opinion, to cover all concerned.

    But while the expression to provide compassion is unlimited, the funds required to provide that compassion is not.

    Family and American citizens needs, need to comes first!

    I am waiting for his book Killing My Career, My Life and Times at Fox News.
    I am very sorry for what happened in your town. Rebuilding will probably be expensive, any word on how much the bishopric in Omaha is going to kick in or are the locals on their own?

    if I sound snarky then sometime I will tell what it’s like growing up in a Catholic neighborhood in the Chicago area during the 50’s and 60’s as it made me what I am today.

    So others are responsible for what you have "grown up" to become. You have no ability to make your own decisions, have your own thoughts, make your own choices. Sounds like you need an exorcism to dispel all those people from your mind.

    Compassion is a feeling. Economics is something else, often very divorced from feelings.

    Sorry Tom, the docs at his home were not guarded by the Secret Service, his h9me was guarded, not the same thing. Besides if the SS knew the docs were there they would have to report same to the Archives as they are law enforcement police and the docs were highly classified and top secret. What was he going to do with them. True some docs stored in a locked room with a padlock I could remove in less than 10 seconds. He also stored them in a bathroom and a ballroom both of which anyone could enter. Also there is tape of him on the tarmac with his private jet and stacks of boxes he took to his putt putt club and cemetery in NJ. Also tape of workers removing boxes from said locked and moved somewhere the day before DOJ and Archives raided Mar-a-Lago. No matter how specious the argument, he was not entitled to those documents.

    As for Biden, when the docs were found the Archives and DOJ were immediately notified and there were only ten documents. As for the places you mentioned, both were approved by the Archives and guarded as they were all of his papers as VP from when he vacated the Naval Observatory. Shortly thereafter the Archives then moved the docs to their possession.

    As for your diagnosis of a disease that doesn't exist, I have followed Trump since the early 80’s as part of my career. I leaned that he was a sleaze bag businessman who stiffed his subcontractors, was a con man, was in bankruptcy court six! times, failed casino owner, misogynist, racist, an ignorant blowhole. Knowing that, when he came down the elevator in 2015 with the hired white shirts making a ton of noise, I knew he had no political acumen, policies but it was a big grift that paid off. His whole presidency was like his net worth, however he felt. I learned that whatever he say’s believe the opposite. Trump tax cuts, Tom how much did you benefit from or did you, I know I didn’t so I would like to hear your side. It explode the deficit which you and I and Josie have to pay for. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, baseball been berry, berry good to them and Act 2 is coming shortly.
    Maybe you are pissed at my list of ten things I believe Trump will do. Those are a predictions and I am very attuned to current events, both domestic and foreign affairs. CBS had some Senator from Tennessee on the Sunday morning show and he is the front man for Trump on Ukraine. He said in so many words that Trump is selling out Ukraine to the Russkies. I never believed that our government would sell out an ally to our sworn enemy, but that is what he is doing. Unfuckingbelievable! So far I am one for one on my list. I am a student of Realpolitick.
