Well, hope she decides to run again. For multiple reasons.

Give credit to those who showed up. Those who didn't evidently felt it was beneath them to honor true American heroes.

Touche. But as US politics go, lame duck Presidents nearly always endure the same fate after the midterm elections. Yawn.

One question: Where were you during the Biden years?

Who fact checks the fact checkers?

I think most people would agree with you. After all, isn't prosperity on everyone's aspiration list?

@gfp The question is, what is the right side, and are there more than just two sides? Fascinating time to be alive. Where are you looking to allocate dollars in an AI world? If anyone here remembers the cartoon "The Jetsons", AI evokes an image of that kind of existence. For my $, I hope it is all of what optimists portend and then some. Could be the main difference between us and possibly more advanced forms of life in a galaxy far away in the vast Universe is that they already developed and use AI.

Interesting read. Seems as if the primary objective of AI might just be to help humans adapt to AI(?)

Yep. Instituted a new policy starting now: No arguments with children.

Read it just to placate you. The Attorney General works for the acting President to further his (or hopefully her - someday) policy goals. Biden is the only individual who could have directed Garland to do, or not do anything. Whatever your point was, its is lost.

Come again? So you're also an expert on constitutional law. Just love this thread.

You see, that's the difference between you and me on this issue. I don't want anyone to "go down" without a full and fair investigation and appropriate charges being brought, as necessary. And I sure don't want to live in a place where people are presumed guilty. Think about it next time.

Oh, so just because there was no political will to "release files" it is OK to brush the whole incident under the rug? Where was this so-called criminal investigation (I didn't hear anything about that) and just who was it that thought people would be prosecuted internally? You seem to have a lot of inside knowledge; please do share.

Funny, but this is the reason mobs are dangerous. Can't even recognize the obvious when it is staring you in the face. BTW, I voted for ICE and given the resistance they encounter in certain places their success has been remarkable. Again, don't expect you to understand or care.

No one here is suggesting that perps shouldn't get prosecuted. Placing all the blame on Trump is just showing your bias.

Wait a minute. Where were you before Trump? Its funny that for our entire history politicians have been promising anything and everything under the sun but all of a sudden Trump comes along and every word is parsed, analyzed and dissected? Give me a break!

Yep, and Minneapolis.

Guilt by association? Sorry, that's BS. The "victims" are victims of crimes that occurred long ago. There has been plenty of time and opportunity to prosecute the perpetrators. Where were you before now pushing for such retribution?

Its a mob mentality and it is dangerous. One of the myriad of reasons I voted for Trump.

Of course. But why let facts get in the way of a good narrative? But as I suggested previously, it was probably a terrible idea to release these "files" into the public realm because innocent people and even Epstein's victims get their names and reputations dragged through the mud. Leslie Wexner is the latest example of a good man and philanthropist who has become a pariah on social media. Wouldn't expect the children here to understand or even care.

Epstein files: Who is in there and what did they do? C'mon, they've been released!

Y'all never give up. Always something to complain about when it suits your ideology. Nary a word of complaint when it doesn't. Canada is perfection personified (except when it comes to hockey). Sorry - couldn't resist but you kind of earned the dig.

Nah, just a business owner - we all think alike. Why sell something that continues working just fine?

Re: holding a stock forever, such behavior is far more common than you think. People like me who have owned Berkshire for decades treat the stock the same way we business owners treat our own businesses. Business owners don't trade or sell successful businesses unless they are ready to retire or move on. it's a mindset that tends to work if you let it. Buffett has talked about this often.
