I don’t think there’s much question that Donald J Trump will be impeached. That doesn’t mean he’ll be removed from office.

Excellent Steve just excellent!

NewGig, I am diving into offloading my book collection this year. I’ll pick your brain about that. I’ll start a new thread for it.

I just finished We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler. It is a novel. Had I known the painful subject matter of this book, I...

That actor was great in that role. Every time he is on screen, i still see him as Chris.

I am enjoying these cool, dry days. Days when my house stay fairly clean, no excessive animal shedding, no mud and dirt.

I would think a vote of the House for impeachment, even if the Senate doesn't agree, would be grounds for a semi-celebration. Like maybe not wearing...

You people are cheap. our cats got, back in that day when we had cats who actually moved, an assortment of boxes. haha.

I like the idea of Censure but looks like it’s not viable.

And now I am “insulting Mexico.” As the kids say, I can’t even.

Invasion of Mexico. Alrighty then.

I heard about “Censure” as one possible outcome when some Republicans may find that palatable when they will not impeach. What do ya’ll know about...
