   He generally has no idea about anything anyone else says. He has a running dialogue with his fantasy reality in his mind and then spits it out on these comic pages.

   No – Tony came in when he was supposed to. ;) (and yeah, it wasn’t Prince spaghetti night)

   We got to hear what the neighbors were having – the mothers would yell stuff like "Louie! Come in NOW! Your spaghetti is getting cold!

   Thank you for once again proving my point. BTW, I can do this all day. (because I’m retired, not because I’m Captain America) And while Kamala didn’t offer much, it was still better than the insanity that donny brings to the table.

   Does redlining count as segregation? Because it was common throughout US cities during the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and even into the 60’s, it forced forced black families into the worst housing in the country. Sounds like discrimination to me. And there is this description of the federal role in this segregation: "In 1935, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) asked the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) to look at 239 cities and create “residential security maps” to indicate the level of security for real-estate investments in each surveyed city. On the maps, the newest areas—those considered desirable for lending purposes—were outlined in green and known as “Type A”. These were typically affluent suburbs on the outskirts of cities. “Type B” neighborhoods, outlined in blue, were considered “Still Desirable”, whereas older “Type C” were labeled “Declining” and outlined in yellow. “Type D” neighborhoods were outlined in red and were considered the most risky for mortgage support. While about 85% of the residents of such neighborhoods were white, they included most of the African-American urban households.20 These neighborhoods tended to be the older districts in the center of cities; often they were also African-American neighborhoods,21 and only six majority African-American neighborhoods in the entire United States were not evaluated as “Type D.”22 Urban planning historians theorize that the maps were used by private and public entities for years afterward to deny loans to people in black communities,21 though planners and historians have debated the exact role of HOLC and its maps in redlining.22" (Wiki) My guess is that HOLC may not have been as racist as the ones that used the maps but the end result is the same.

   Well, if being sane and usually correct is boring, I’ll take that.

   Amazing – the fraud claims have completely disappeared. It’s almost enough to make you think they were manufactured . . . ;)

   I was born in ’51. I would rather not go back to the time of the cold war, fearing nuclear annihilation at any moment, fearing polio and other diseases, and generally being stifled in a conformist environment. No thanks.

    So, you’re a trump supporter who is criticizing biden for acting like trump? You do realize that trump pardoned 141 criminals during his first term, right? And promised to pardon all the miscreants who were convicted by juries of breaking and entering and governmental obstruction (and who assaulted cops) on Jan. 6? Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
