Take a look into how Pelosi and the Democrats changed the House rules to essentially create a new impeachment process that excludes the minority and avoids transparency.

I typically say that anyone that doesn't appreciate Uber or Lyft hasn't taken a taxi anywhere recently. I've had far more doubts about my safety in taxis than in Uber rides. But I also have to acknowledge that my sample size is small, usually just several times a year when traveling for business.

Apparently that request itself consists of leveraging US military aid to Ukraine for personal gain and is impeachable. The problem is that there is no objective definition of an "impeachable offense"... it's simply whatever the politicians say it is. They'll vote for or against impeachmen...

Not sure about anyone else, but my ancestors were legal immigrants, which is a different topic. Why conflate the two?

I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that this is the most corrupt president in US History. Which criteria should be used to determine "the most corrupt president in US history" and which should be ignored? Your post is filled with phrases like "common knowledge", "a ...

What I find irritating is when an asset class has a run that brings you to within a percentage point or two of a rebalancing band but you hesitate to avoid pulling the trigger too soon, and then it retreats. It happened to me with stocks and now I'm mentally preparing myself for it to happen again w...

Realistically, the current situation with people coming and going from the administration is probably a combination of all of the factors mentioned previously. I'm sure that includes some people that are nuts, some that think Trump is nuts, and everything in between. I don't claim to know what is re...

Libertarian666, what is your main reaction when someone suddenly resigns from the current administration or is asked to resign? - There is something fundamentally wrong here - Ok, this is part of Trump’s personality problem, but someone with a tougher constitution will come along and it’ll be a bet...

The “winning” has nothing to do with opinion polls.

Do “stocks” = “the economy”?

There are some that say there’s a big difference between Wall Street and Main Street.

Executive order changing the two term limit amendment... I wouldn’t put it past him.

Sort of ironic that our internet security system at work (Cisco Umbrella) blocks Startpage's anonymous viewer "browse.startpage.com".

That's no fun, but I guess I can see how it could be abused.

The Startpage.com website says they've been profitable since 2004. How are they making money?

What is the definition of "good talent"?

For your phone there is also Firefox Focus, which is "a dedicated privacy browser with tracking protection and content blocking".

Yes, I use Firefox, Ad Block Plus, and set my default search engine to Duck Duck Go. However, I assume it’s only marginally better and nothing is going to be perfect. Occasionally a site won’t work and I’ll have to use Chrome in an incognito window.
