    Politics CURRENT EVENTS - TAX DAY - April 19

    Trump can’t consolidate power on his own. He needs (and has) a complicate Congress and Judiciary. King needs to be adding that to his warning and turn to his Senate colleagues. That is the only way to stop Trump

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    This is real concern. Among my cohort, friends and colleagues (well educated successful liberals) none of our married kids plan to have children. While I know of conservative evangelicals (my own siblings and siblings of my friends) that have multiple kids who have their own kids (grandkids)...

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    Many of the 18-21 crowd, particularly males, are listening to Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro and others who poison their minds with BS. Toxic masculinity that plays right into GOP propaganda

    Politics FAFO

    Off-Topic Magazines

    I read most things online and on tablets but do some hard paper books in hand. The only 2 magazines I subscribe to are The Atlantic and The Economist. Both excellent reads and I prefer holding them in my hand, especially on a plane. I’m also oldish, so maybe that fits the stereotype.

    Politics Arson attack on PA Gov Shapiro

    Exactly. All of these assaults on Universities is supposed due, in part, to prevent antisemitism and silence on this blatant very high profile example.

    Politics Tariffs Catch-All

    My wife’s company (office supplies across the country) gets 90% of its products from China. It lives on the margin. There is a real possibility it will fold/shut down due to these tariffs.

    Off-Topic The Singles Thread

    Thanks. In theses cases, they simply have to wait for the men to die then get SS benefits and other assets with many decades ahead of them. It’s certainly not based on the guys looks. Thats my guess and consistent with what you said.

    My wife’s Ex is 75. His Phillipino wife (met online) is 26. Another friend of mine who is 66 has a 29 yo Phillipino wife. (What is it about The Phillipines? ) But both men have serious “issues” and these are the only females they could attract to marry them.
