37:50 remember that executive order trump made during his first week of Office. it was about the law. it claimed that he was the law (or something to that effect). That little piece of paper is behind such comments as: "My own morality will decide".. having to do with declaring war (and Artcle one feature of your constitution. This 🇨🇦 ian thinks you guys have to get that shit rescinded. and get him in a care home for the mentally afflicted or we all could die.
shame on them all Lawrence. we all have skeletons in our closets but wow the Trump Closet is horrible and I can not even visualize it because it too ugly and far too painful.
but Isreal is still bombing Iran...no?
he (don) shouldn't even talk anymore.
it is beyond stunning how the greed and criminality can bring to us all to the brink or early stages of ww3 whoopsie daisy. 🇨🇦
mass murderer?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz**z*zzzzzz***zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*zzzz*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz***zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*z*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz**zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*z***zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*zzzzzzzzzzzzzz**zzzz**zzzzzz*zzz*zzzzzzz*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz***sss1
is unemployment low because people have stopped looking for work?
nobody should be surprised by the heavy redactions
Laurence could read a phone book (I'm old) and make it sound riveting
Lawrence is the voice of authority in the areas he covers and he is the first to admit it when he is not . precision and humility!
Lawrence bringing facts
Us old timers haven't forgotten the Spiro Agnew case either. He accepted bribes too and was thrown out of office.
Nixon did get the Smothers Brothers show canceled
From Google's AI Overview: +4 "Elon Musk's companies, particularly Tesla, have received significant subsidies and incentives from the state of California, primarily through programs aimed at promoting zero-emission vehicles and clean energy. These subsidies have been instrumental in supporting Tesla's growth and success in the state." Without California's support, Elon Musk would not be where he is today.
Our Honda dealer is already charging more for the parts we will need for the work to be done on our car two weeks from now.
Trump is a coward and a disgrace
what do we do about it?
. hope
Lawrence I usually have little disagreement with you but you sure overlooked the destructive power of water. I'm from Asheville NC and true we had wind in our hurricane but it was the flooding water that killed over a 100 people statewide and destroyed homes as completely as the fires in California. The overall damage may be greater in California but the death toll will be much less. And there is some ability to fight a fire but nothing to do about a raging flood.
