"No living person has appeared on U.S. currency since 1866"

Actually Calvin Coolidge appeared on a 50 cent coin in 1926.

Just sayin'

I stand corrected, thanks

Ron, her halo is looking a little tarnished. I would have more respect for people if they just said we love power and we don't want to give it up. As an average Democratic voter, my fondest wish is for everyone involved in 2024 - the Bidens, Harris, Waltz - to just shut the hell up. Them and James Carville. Just go away.

Sadly, Dr. Jill Biden tarnished her reputation that not convincing Joe Biden that he should not run again in 2024. If Joe has stepped aside in early 2023, the current Trump dictatorship may never have happened.

The matter of whether E Jean Carroll committed perjury has already been adjudicated by a judge.

She didn't commit perjury - it's a stalling tactic, Trump grasping at straws. It is unfair that this criminal president cannot be sued while in office, but he can turn the Justice Department into a weapon of vengeance against her.

Mr. Fournier, you know not of what you speak. Common wisdom, like common sense, is an oxymoron. Immersing yourself and us in the deep pool of assumption and innuendo about age is just about whetting your axe to grind. In my opiniko, this is wiser than your wisecracking… I would amend her notion that as you near 80, “Anybody under 50 feels they’re in a position to condescend to you.” It is probably anybody under 65 that panders to the cynical cliques. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/02/18/magazine/marilynne-robinson-interview.html

Please excuse me for interrupting your liturgy.

I’m just happy you found time for yours, Paul.

I call double bullshit on this. Jill Biden is lying, but anyone who reports on her is keeping a stupid story alive long after the point for doing so has passed. The correct response is to let her scream into the void with nobody at all paying attention to her and her stupid book.

I've followed the Biden political sphere since. None of what these has ever surprised me. He ran while his son was battling addiction. He purposely misstated his late son's military experience. Nobody familiar with them would ever say they that shame bothers or frightens them. Their excuses on almost everything never pass the laugh test. They deceived the country and that never surprised me.
