Does anybody here believe for one minute that if the Dems were in control they wouldn't be doing exactly what the Republicans are?
Of course they would. They're all politicians and hypocrisy is the name of the game.

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
According to NPR, there are at least 5 republicans that will not vote until after Jan 20. We're just a few hours in. I'm not buying that NPR has a hard count either way before the bargaining and arm twisting even starts. We'll see. Agreed. According to Tucker, NPR was also reporting that her dying ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
@WiseOne: Now that weather is getting colder and people will be moving inside, would setting up a fan to circulate air be helpful or make things worse? I don't know the answer to that but I wonder if the ultra violet gizmo the A/C repairman tried to sell me when I had my yearly maintenance done mig...

Re: When someone's opinion differs from yours...
I once closed my accounts at Bank of America when I saw photos of the executives sitting in luxury suites at the Super Bowl after they took bail out money from the government in the TARP program. Don't think I'd do that just because of a difference in opinion however, especially when he's expressing...

Re: An odd choice for a VP: Wellesley
When I was researching a safer way to invest after the 2008 meltdown I came across a debate about Wellesley vs the Permanent Portfolio on a forum. I don't think it was Bogleheads but I remember that MT and Craig were on the PP side and it got pretty nasty at times. I went with Wellesley for a while,...

Re: Biden/Harris Discussion

Masks are still mandatory in my county at least through September, but I was encouraged recently to see that Publix has eliminated the one-way aisles. They still have them at Walmart. Have to wonder what the science and/or logic was behind this requirement. The only thing I can think of is that two-...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Fogerty said he wrote “Fortunate Son” in 1969 at the height of the Vietnam War after he’d been drafted himself and done his own stint in the military. Fogerty noted that during the draft, however, people of privilege frequently used their position and influence to avoid military service....(Trump)....

If the saying holds true that "the market doesn't like uncertainty" it could end up being very bad for stocks (or good if you're buying).

I was always impressed with Jack Bogle whenever I saw him doing interviews in his later years.
