Steve, I guess some people around Trump still understand that declassification of "all" the material and not just that that can be slanted towards "evil democrats" and other Trump haters might bring up some pretty bad things for him.

Trump's exit strategy is already being worked out. Today he announced that Sudan is being taken off the "terrorist sponsor" list. They have no extradition treaty with the US. He is probably angling for a large enclosed estate there where he can be "alone" if he loses. Maybe some quick banking deposits as well.

If Trump loses and can't pervert the law and its underlying systems any more than he already has, I think he is already weighing his options for escape. The obvious way would be to redirect as much money as he can to another country where he can't be easily extradited. The second might be to resign, making Pence President for a few days in order to get a complete pardon. Either way he is cementing the US's position as a 3rd world country. Between his and his appointed henchmen's abuses already carried out and his total devastation of the economy which will become apparent with the next administration, we truly will be a bankrupt 3rd world country by any standards. Who will we rely on for help, all our allies he has viciously attacked and belittled? Maybe our enemies, Trump's friends, Russia and China will "help" us like they do the rest of the world's poor countries.

Ron, I think I used the same word in a previous post and was surprised to see it expressed as "xxxxx". I'm assuming the word started with a "T" and ended with an "L" instead of "P". I also thought the definition fit.

Ron, not that it is earth shattering, but Zu Roma is kind of like a toast. It means, "To Rome".

Joseph, not absolutely sure this is what you asked about, but I found this link: http://www.jfkconversations.com/

Mark S., I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but set the video to full screen and reduce the playback speed to 1/2 and you'll see that it is his watchband.

There really are a few people who exactly fit the quotation: "Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel". Real eyes realize real lies.

It is possible that he is telling the truth for once. I doubt he ever paid the $750.

Great to hear you're getting back to normal after the afib. Your early job sounds like one I would have loved. I'm pretty satisfied with most jobs as long as I can learn something new pretty consistently, which it sounds like you did. I enjoy working along side people with a lot of knowledge on just about any subject because I can learn while I work. I would have loved the old apprentice system (not the Trump style). I got into gardening at a late age, but I'm not very good at it. I keep trying to learn and grow in the field (pun intended), but my retention is not what it used to be. I keep having to relearn and refer to notes to remember when to prune, when and how to fertilize, etc.. Good to hear the COVID test wasn't as bad as reported. I've heard the same thing here in GA, but haven't had to take one, thank goodness.

Thank you Joe. If I had not lucked into that USPS job, most of my family worked menial labor jobs and (even though possessing mental acuity) never had much education, etc.. I worked in a textile mill until they were all exported, then worked at local small businesses with low pay and no benefits. I know and understand working hard and that feeling of accomplishment when you finish the day and look back on the results. The old fashioned "work ethic" that made America is so lacking and looked down upon by so many who never had to lift themselves up by their bootstraps and do actual manual labor. I still admire those who "work" for a living and make something with their skilled hands. It is a shame that they are mostly not paid for their contribution to us all.

What I find most troubling is that after nearly four years a Christian evangelical, or Christian of any other description can support a man who embodies everything antithetical to their stated beliefs. Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt for forgiving and supporting him after breaking every one of the ten commandments (if you break one, you break them all). This makes us ALL sinners but we are redeemable by repenting (turning about from our evil ways). Trump cannot even say I'm sorry, must less change his perverted ways. Sorry for the religious diatribe, but it is simply inconceivable to me that anyone with a firm moral compass could support this. Off my soapbox. Going to sit around and try to figure out what I can do to make a difference before/after the trouble starts in November.

David, it sounds trite, but I understand your situation pretty well and agree about insurance/healthcare. I was a supporter of Bernie Sanders (and anyone else) that truly wanted to reform our healthcare/insurance industry for that very reason. I don't care what it's labeled, if a country cannot take care of its citizens who toil at the mundane and mostly low paying jobs that make it run, there is a problem that sooner or later will boil over. My family would be in exactly your situation had I not lucked into a US Postal Svc. job many years ago. We have been blessed with pretty good health up until now and no accidents that required hospitalization. Even with this, we are struggling to hang on to our bottom of the barrel "middle class" status. It always feels that we are swimming against the current and the current is getting stronger while we get older and weaker. My best to you. I wish I could offer more.

Perfect quotation for this situation Steve. Few can/could match the wisdom and oration of Lincoln and none since JFK have have matched his understanding and deep reverence for this country and its underlying foundations.

I have heard of the book, but never thought about reading it. There are so many rabbit holes to go down. I try to stick closely to the core issues/persons involved so that I don't get lost. I am thinking about reading it now that you mentioned it. I found a supposedly free iphone download of it as an audio book at a website called SlideShare (9 hrs and 55 mins.). Anyone know anything about this site?

Can you say "Special Session" for the Senate? Then after another crony is on the Supreme Court, it's "check" & "mate". All Trump will have to do is be "in" the election. Then he can throw more S*** on the wall, sue for some absurd reason and his buddies all get together to vote him "President for Life" with a new succession order which goes through the Trump family and Trump Organization. 2020 has been a great year, hasn't it. I'm sure we'll hear accolades from the White House for RBG any minute now..... CRICKETS!

I'm sorry to hear that (about the tee totallers), since it is one of my virtues, if you want to call it that. But in deference to your opinion, my father's side of the family had many alcoholics. I always attributed most of their failures to this weakness and chose as a youngster to make sure I didn't fall into that trap. All my failures have to be attributed to my other shortcomings. PS: It's the only trait I share with Trump (hopefully). Make mine alcohol free!

Still waiting on the ONE virtue of Trump. Y'all did realize that the example given was straight from the online dictionary and that I know he and most of us cannot meet that example. Thank you Robert for the backhand compliment. I can assure you I have more than an eighth grade education (though I was not an eighth grade salutatorian). As for what Chris B. brought up, is there any evidence that Trump loves his country other than by using it's laws to freely take other people's money. Look at his opinion of anyone who would willingly give their life for their country. His speaking of patriotism is blatantly EMPTY and is just a dog whistle for far right extremist whom he hopes will keep him in power indefinitely. The true patriots (founding fathers) who loved this country would have found the courage by now to have Trump charged with treason as a traitor. As for the "bringing jobs back", it is a highly debatable conclusion. Even then, when you tally all the job losses from his response to COVID-19 (whether it is true or not), millions of jobs have been lost and many small/medium sized businesses have gone under. The worst is far from over. One more dictionary definition. trai·tor /ˈtrādər/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: traitor; plural noun: traitors a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc

I will abstain from personal attacks, but if I may ask, can anyone here name ONE virtue of Donald J. Trump. By that I simply ask that you use the standard definition of virtue. vir·tue /ˈvərCHo͞o/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: virtue; plural noun: virtues 1. behavior showing high moral standards. "paragons of virtue"

Just my opinion, but I'm starting to get the feeling the Woodward book is more deflection and disinformation than news. We already knew that if Trump's lips were moving, he's lying. The more salacious and damnable truths about Trump are in the Cohen book, yet the MSM keeps harping on the lying about Covid-19. Which would you rather be accused of...

Not to get this off topic, I just wanted to make a quick observation based on years of looking at the various films and video of the JFKA. The attached Altgen's 6 photo has always looked like a manipulated photo (particularly in the red box drawn in below). Too many anomalies in an otherwise professional quality photograph. Have you ever analyzed this area?

In my opinion (yes, it is just that-NOT documented evidence) I would mention the following: 1. Why does it matter that no one replicated the head shot? If it was not fired from the rear, it becomes moot. If it was fired from the rear, it was as part of a multiple shooter scenario and therefore the timing issues are not present. 2. You are correct, whether fired from the front or rear, Jackie was at a comparatively large distance to JFK's head (as a target), assuming the use of a scope to sight the target. 3. Your worry about the collateral damage is unfounded if the sniper teams used frangible ammunition which is highly probable. The only bullet KNOWN to be metal jacketed is the one that hit Connally (although this could be argued as well). No need to SLOW down the bullet to lose accuracy.

My point had nothing to do with the supposed Oswald shot to the head. The head shot arguably came from the right front and could have been as close as 150 ft. or as far away as 225 ft. This is a based on a quick calculation using Google Earth for measurements near the mid point of the fence to the approximate location of Z313 or from the end near the rail yard to the same Z313. Also, the target (JFK) would have been approaching the sniper at a slow speed on a known path from left to right. With Connally now laid out, there would have been nothing to interfere with the tracking of the subject. With any kind of practice at all and using a scope, it would have been relatively simple (if you have the nerve) to shoot another human being.

The only point that can be made from the attempts to replicate the single shooter hypothesis (main stream "truth") is that it cannot be accomplished by even expert marksmen or snipers. The problem with agreeing that the head shot was lucky is apt only in this sense. The assassination was carried out by multiple shooters and involved a triangulation of fire. I think an overwhelming number of people who have studied/wrote about the assassination would agree. Therefore, the actual "headshot" was NOT "lucky". It was planned and executed by professionals. Even the shooting of Connally (or Yarborough -had he been lucky enough to have drawn that seat) could have been planned in order to remove any blockage to the various snipers target. It would very likely have been necessary for a shot from the right front which seems evident to most researchers.
