Or embarrassed.

I did look. Found nothing. The parallels between the US and Brazil are pretty similar. If you are Maga here in the US, then your viewpoint is America is turning into a dictatorship government and all of its institutions are evil and fraudulent. Trump won the last election and now the evil Dems and t...

I think if you took a poll here, you wouldn’t like the outcome.

Getting paid to stay home doesn’t happen much. Gigs cancel fairly often, usually way ahead of time for various reasons. A Wedding and the couple break up before the wedding. A birthday party and the birthday person dies before their party. What Congress is doing is like me going to the gig, setting ...

They are all murder investigator shows. Maybe she is plotting to take me out and is doing her homework.

Lots of stuff happens that should never happen. My wife goes to sleep by putting on all those detective forensic files type shows and last night I went to bed and she was asleep with one of those shows on. Some 18 kid sneaks into a rural house picks up a sleeping 14 and carries him out of his house ...

We bet the farm on this team. How to fix it? I don’t see a quick fix. It either succeeds in the playoffs or it fails and they go home. From what I have been seeing it looks like an early exit. I sure hope I’m wrong. If it is an early exit then they have to decide what to do. I think they either give...

I am convinced that the ousted party is going to act like Maga and claim everything is fake fraudulent and turning into Nazi Germany because they aren’t in power and the only way to save the country is to vote the last guy back in power.

There are 8,000,000+ people in NYC. All kinds of bad things happen all the time. The odds of this happening to you if you are a woman walking down the street in NYC are probably as good as winning the lotto.

Every once in awhile that happens because of weather or a double booking.

I don't believe that any fair minded Republican or Conservative thinks that this was a great decision or truly endorses it, and across the board. Not what I am getting. It seemed to me the entire Republican party wanted this until it started backfiring on them. Now they are all backpedaling as fast...

There is no denying that todays Congress gets absolutely nothing done on purpose.

It sounds almost exactly like what happened in the US with Trump and Maga to me. Bolsonaro lost the election and claimed they stole the election. His supporters stormed the capital and broke in. Now they claim everything is fake and fraudulent and that the new government is an evil dictatorship.

What were they standing for?

I have seen some of that over the years. I don’t know what makes a guy do that. Maybe hot chicks just don’t dig them and they decide to get revenge for all the guys who have ever been shot down by a hot chick. Maybe they look like their exes that hate with a passion and take it out on them. Maybe th...

Was checking out Brazil on the internets 😜 and found this on the World Bank site. They were assessing Brazil and their future. Kind of scary if true. https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/brazil/overview The Amazon rainforest is now near a tipping point beyond which it might not generate enough rainf...
