Dear, your comment said all we need to know.

Actually, they don't. My brothers and sisters and I stopped buying gifts for each other (we're all in our 70's, or almost there). Guess what? We actually, actually survive!!! We still have a nice Christmas, share a good dinner, play games aftewards.. Amazing, eh?

Motives? It's called 'saving their own butt'. They don't care about the people... it's their own skin and worried about the Congressional perks they'll lose. You should be annoyed with them.

LOL!! You've totally bought into the Amazon/corporate/capitalist mindset. GOTTA BUY!! GOTTA BUY!!! GOTTA BUY!!! You truly cannot think of anything else to do for the holidays?

Chill, dear. She's actually quite right. People get stupid around holidays. They don't have money, but feel like they HAVE TO BUYBUYBUY stuff for everyone to show their love!!!!! 🙄 You can make stuff, and the people would probably appreciate it more than another pair of slippers.

Well, at least you're keeping the money In the community. Amazon for a book? Good grief.

Two words, actually: Small business.

Your bookseller in your town would appreciate it.

Does he always have that stupid smile on his face because he's thinking "Gee, I cannot believe the people are so stupid as to believe this tripe"?

This particular channel (NBC affiliate in Detroit) is especially notorious for stuff like this. I keep saying it's the 5th grade kids they hire .. 🙄

Quilting.

Guess they figure if they say it enough times, the Court will finally believe it. 🙄

We will never get to the bottom of this shit pile, will we?

In other words: I have absolutely no idea.

I like how the forecast for snow in one area says "1-15". Lol.. you can't narrow it down at all?

We are *never* getting to the bottom of this shitpile, are we?

Would someone please explain to him that executive orders aren't the law?

Yep.

I still don't trust her any further than I could throw her. She knows if she doesn't change her tune before elections, she's outta there. The real story comes after mid-terms, if she's re-elected, and how she votes afterwards.

She *said* it was fact! What… you don’t believe that?? 🙄

Sit this one out, dear.

Oh gee... but it's FUN making fun of people who don't take the time to familiarize themselves with what's going on IN THEIR OWN HOME CITY. Good grief.

Well, they apparently ARE as dumb as his president.. It's not a given that there are no elections the year after a presidential election.. otherwise what the heck are all of these other states doing?

Let's not get carried away here. He was *not* a good guy, other than voting for Kamala (that we know of, anyway).

Oh, you know they will. And if there are any investigations, you know it'll all be Republicans that are guilty.

Any particular reason you think we'd care one iota what ol' Markie thinks?

Oh, it's not even just the NYP. Almost any written media seems to have a staff of 6th grade 'journalists'. The number of times I roll my eyes at the poor grammar and horrible writing makes me afraid that my eyes will stick in that position.

Well, aren't you going to have a lovely Christmas...

Home Depot is NOT a Trump donor. Their FORMER CEO, who left HD a long time ago, and is actually now deceased, was. Currently, HD is NOT a Trump donor. How many times do I have to repeat that?

I'm having a bit of heartburn with this.. So, total blackout, including small businesses? Including restaurants, where waitstaff depend on tips to supplement their meager wages? Companies that have nothing to do with the crap going down in this country? Where do you draw the line?
