He's also predicted to become the world's first ever Trillionaire (that's $ 500 billion he'll give away when he dies).
Trump, small fish.
Sad!

find a man with real character. in this election I supported bernie and for the first time in my life I gave money to a political campaign. even change my registration from independent to democrat so I could vote for him in the caucus. I'm 60 and he was the first politician i've seen in my lifetime that I liked. we just need to make sure we support people that are not funded by wall street and represent our interest

I'm gonna sound like "one of those" but we really need to take the money out of politics.
It's amazing to me that this shit has been let go on as long as it has, I'm pretty sure that is one of the primary reasons we have the second amendment. (Citizenry says "fuck no, and change it now")
Kind of funny how that turned out...

What is a resent pipe line? Like where did we send it, why, and who sent it back?

The Dutch and the Germans love him (Dagobert in German). I had actually not read any for the last 20 years until recently. Now I am going through them and reading them again. Five boxes. Very good stuff and quite often topical if you keep them in their historical context. The environmental views he (Barks) voiced are quite current and well ahead of their time. Scrooge was Barks' foil.My buddy in Nederland (Jelmer) is a massive fan. He collects the older books and puts them under glass, etc. I'll send him things like cereal/fast food promo figurines and he flips his shit, lol.... stuff that didn't see release over there and is scarce.

He mentioned this to me years ago, oddly enough.
I respect his fandom although I don't share in it. I'm much more interested in the treats he sends - stuff from Belgium, Denmark, France, etc. - everything from stroopwafels to jarred fish.
All sorts of treats....

Betsy DeVos and I both dig stroopwafels. But she is a know-nothing bible thumper so I avoid her..

I couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't want anyone to get special deals, just a level playing field. We need to take care of everyone in our country, not just the richest and most able to manipulate Washington with money.

That's what I remembered; they were good, pithy stories with a message. They had to have been good writing to have resonated with me; both my folks were English teachers and fed me a steady stream of English Lit., up to and including Shakespeare.

Just skewer a hot dog (frankfurter) with said stick and roast it over an open fire. Nothing endangered died, and you still get to risk diseases.
