With All The Lawsuits, Investigations & Grand Juries Surrounding Tr**p....

how many people have jobs and are being paid to support these legal actions?

There appears to be a whole industry being supported by the Tr**p crimes.

How much money is being spent to put Tr**p in jail?

Think of the numbers of law firms & lawyers that are employed by both sides of the Tr**p investigations & lawsuits.

What about all the supportive people roles that are needed to manage the paperwork; the courts functioning, etc. All those little jobs that need to be done to manage all this.

We have federal and state departments involved.

There is essentially a whole industry surrounding Tr**p's criminal activities.

It boggles the mind.

Tr**p - by his criminal activities - is contributing to Bidens good employment numbers.

Don't we have enough problems now? Why is anybody even bringing this up?

This world (more like this country) is going insane.

Let Me Throw This Out There - If Putin Has A Hold On The Repugs And TFG Wouldn't It.....

be in their best interest to make sure he loses this war or is deposed, replaced or mortally wounded (i.e., eliminated)

I've heard for years now that Putin has 'kompromat' on the Repugs and Tr**p.

This is what has prompted me to ask this question here.

What's The Latest On Putin?....

I haven't heard much about him lately. I haven't seen recent pics of him either.

Is he really ailing? Is he somewhere being treated? Is he still alive?

I Just Finished Watching The Movie 'Everything Everywhere All At Once'.....

I watched it in three parts over two days - Part I: Everything; Part II Everywhere; Part III All At Once

I have no freaking idea about what was going on in this movie.

I came away feeling that I wasted a lot of time.

What the hell was this?

Coffee Coke....

I'm posting this here because I don't know where else I can post this.

I just learned that the Coca Cola company discontinued Coffee Coke. In my opinion - they pulled the plug on this product too soon. They didn't promote the product. No TV or magazine ads. It just showed up on the shelf with the other myriad of Coke products.

I was lucky that I came across it. I tried it and I was hooked. I shared my like for the product with other friends - and they too became buyers of the product.

Lately it disappeared from the shelves. I googled it - and learned that the Coca Cola company discontinued it.

Again - I believe Coca Cola marketing didn't give the product a chance to catch on. They pulled it too soon. They didn't promote the product.

There are many other coffee drink products on the market. If you go to a grocery store - they even have a special section for those coffee drink products.

Coca Cola marketing should have been aware of this and made sure that their Coffee Coke product was placed in that section of the store versus in the section with all the other Coke products. Or an alternative was to have it in both sections - the coffee drink section and the Coke section.

The other thing I would do is initially bring out only one flavor of the Coffee Coke. I would have gone with the Dark Coffee Coke. Once that caught on - then introduce other flavors.

Bottom line I believe that the Coca Cola Marketing Department blew it on the introduction of the product and the reason its gone now is because they failed to make the public aware of it.

I don't think it's too late to recover. If they do a proper marketing campaign and promote it - it would be a success. They need to reconsider their decision to pull the product.

I'm hoping that this message somehow gets to the people at Coca Cola - especially the Marketing Department.

They are missing out on this one.

Is Santos Running Interference For McCarthy & The Repugs?.....

The late night shows are all spending a lot of time talking about Santos. So are the cable news shows and MSM in general.

All the attention being given to Santos seems to be allotting less time for all these outlets to cover exactly what McCarthy & the Repug House is up to and what devious schemes they have up their sleeve for us.

In a weird sense - Santos is serving a need for McCarthy & the Repugs - and is providing them cover.

I'm Really Going To Miss The Show "New Amsterdam"......

I just watched the best damn season finale of any show I've ever watched.

It put me in a good place. It tied up loose ends and created more hope for the future of the hospital.

I normally don't watch medical shows. I'm a retired medical professional and I've always wanted to put some distance between the job and a medical TV show. However, for some reason New Amsterdam resonated with me. It touched on real problems faced by medical professionals in both their jobs and their life.

It renewed the reason in me that I went into the medical profession and it shared the values that I have regarding choosing the medical profession as my life's work.

I'm going to miss Max's sad but caring and compassionate eyes. He spoke to me through his eyes.

I actually hope that the show is revived in the future - because the way it ended - in my opinion - left that hope open.

The creators, writers and actors did a fantastic job making sure that they touched on the dilemma's faced by medical professionals, a hospital and those that have to run a hospital. They always integrated topical issues into the program - and resolved them the way I would have wanted to if I were in their position.

I'm gonna really miss the show - but as finale's go - this was one of the best ways to end this show.
