    @jon-nyc said in Not that I feel the least bit sorry for Maduro: But just imagine what it must be like - one day you’re dictator for life. Every luxury at your disposal. The world your oyster. The next morning you wake up in Federal prison in Brooklyn. I bet he woke up Sunday - if he slept at all - hoping it was all a nightmare only to see bars in the window. Similar thoughts about Epstein and why I think it's totally reasonable for him to have committed suicide. Human contentment is about the first derivative of one's status, not the absolute value.

    Is there a link to the entire dissertation? It would be more fair to critique after skimming through the original document rather than opining off a few choice quotes selected by some rando on social media. OK, found the newly minted PhD. on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olga-estrada-28b74a65 … but I am not sufficiently motivated to reach out to ask for a copy of their dissertation. And, social media being what they are these days, I cannot be entirely sure that the LinkedIn profile is a true reflection of the real person anyway.

    I was holding a bottle of Paul Newman salad dressing when my niece asked me who Paul Newman was. I told her he was an actor, basically the Brad Pitt of my mom’s generation. Then she hit me with, “Who’s Brad Pitt?” If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the senior center eating applesauce.

    Speaking of fraud don’t forget Trump pardoned Esformes. My DOJ buddy knew that case well. Epic Florida Medicare fraud I believe.

    He’s too YouTube-y for me. Almost like a high schooler doing an interview. Anyway… imagine how much fraud is found within Medicare/Florida?

    The funny thing is Trump’s NY residence (no longer his official one but his wife still lives there) is in NY-12.

    Though we do (usually) when someone else is driving. And this is statistically safer.

    He downplays his service too, and he was the freaking COMMANDER of multiple space shuttle or ISS missions if I recall correctly. If it weren’t for the lying and the petulance, I could get behind much of what Trump does. It’s a shame.

    Still, that was a dogfight. In truth I was glad to see the old guy win.
