  1. more drama and a possible explanation for the abrupt interruption o' the weisselberg testimony in trump's civil fraud case we mentioned earlier: Ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg’s Testimony Abruptly Ended After Forbes Story Accused Him of Perjury Weisselberg insisted on Tuesday from the witness stand that he “never focused” on calculating the square footage of the former president’s Trump Tower triplex, a three-floor penthouse in his namesake skyscraper. Two days later, on Thursday, Forbes reported that emails not currently in the attorney general’s possession show otherwise. ... Forbes senior editor Dan Alexander wrote that his old emails and reporter notes contradict those denials, pointing out in his story that "Weisselberg absolutely thought about Trump’s apartment—and played a key role in trying to convince Forbes over the course of several years that it was worth more than it really was." "Given the fact that these discussions continued for years, and that Weisselberg took a very detailed approach in reviewing Trump’s assets with Forbes, it defies all logic to think he truly believes what he is now saying in court," Alexander added. HA! Good Fun!
  2. we picked up one o' these not too long ago and it is our current go-to cooking hob/surface. only downsides is our inability to use a couple pieces o' non-magnetic cookware, and the fact it requires extra counter space which is always a premium in our kitchen. bringing stuff to a boil with the breville happens a fair bit faster than with our sooper powerful gas range, but am not gonna suggest the control freak is worth what we paid. if we ever move and need give up our viking stove/oven, then we would prefer an induction cooktop. edit: one other negative we forgot to mention is the breville has a sensor which turns the unit off if there is no pot or pan on the cooking surface. however, the sensor is weight sensitive and for one o' our lighter 10" stainless steel skillets, the the breville won't activate unless we add weight to the pan. HA! Good Fun!
  3. Trump NDAs Scrapped: Hundreds Of 2016 Campaign Staffers Can Now Publicly Criticize Him As Court Finalizes Settlement At least 422. That’s the number of 2016 campaign staffers who are affected by the settlement, according to the filing. ... The finalized settlement could open Trump up to more legal liability, given that staffers can now make allegations of workplace misconduct or wrongdoing without fear of violating their NDA. “Anything and everything” workers could sue over “will of necessity contain some information that a Trump Person could find disparaging or a disclosure of confidential information,” attorneys argued in a previous court filing in the case, saying the NDAs “effectively strip employees, contractors, and volunteers of their ability to pursue any of their rights to redress workplace misconduct.” and weisselberg's testimony were unexpected halted today. plaintiffs and defense reserve the right to recall the trump co cfo. sidenote, aileen cannon is slow-walking the mar-a-lago case, and am not certain if she is doing to help trump or 'cause she is incompetent and recognizes her own shortcomings. this is gonna be one o' the more talked about criminal trials o' the century and cannon has virtual no criminal trial experience as a judge. every move she makes will be scrutinized particular following her earlier blunders which were admonished by an appeals court. as such am understanding a bit o' her timidity. 'course every time a discovery issue comes up, it takes cannon weeks to address and then both parties respond resulting in another couple weeks for cannon to make a decision. today cannon is finally holding garcia hearings to determine if lawyers representing multiple defendants in the case have conflicts o' interest which cannot be cured or waived and is no reason this shouldn't o' already happened. is still plenty o' time, but... HA! Good Fun!
  4. ground beef is not a singular thing. is variations and gradients. ground short rib is different than ground sirloin which is different from ground chuck. etc. is all ground beef. you also got general fat-to-lean meat percentages to consider. @majestic will be amused 'cause we had almost the same gołąbki post involving the same people eighteenish months past. nevertheless, am gonna point out our grandma used 50/50 ground chuck (80/20) and ground pork, but much as ground beef is a vague umbrella descriptor, so too is ground pork. in gdańsk we were informed by multiple grandmas that the "right" way to do gołąbki is to mince pork. use pork loin-- no other meat. however, like our grandmother we use 80/20 ground chuck and ground pork loin, but you gotta make sure you got a decent butcher particular for your ground pork, and reason is the same as why you gotta be careful o' overmixing your meat. if the butcher's equipment is too warm or they is too aggressive with the grinding o' the pork, the fat in the meat is gonna melt as well as there being a tendency to release excessive amounts o' myosin. when making sausage, release o' myosin is a good thing, but for meatloaf, meatballs and gołąbki, overmix or brutal butchers is bad and as such the results will too often be gummy and less tender meat, particular if you are braising such as with many meatball recipes but most certain with gołąbki. aside, a kinda kitchen secret when making meatloaf, meatballs and gołąbki is to use science to replicate a former common solution. veal don't bring much flavour to the aforementioned, but it is a frequent ingredient and the reason why you will see veal added to the beef and pork is same as for why pot roast tastes so good. serious. what veal does have in abundance is collagen. the downside to veal is it has less o' the robust meat flavour you want in meatloaf, meatballs and gołąbki. the solution, particular for a braised dish such as gołąbki? gelatin is cooked collagen, so... add one tablespoon powdered gelatin per 2 pounds o' meat and don't over mix your rice and meat mixture 'cause good cooking is always good science. HA! Good Fun!
  5. we didn't know if this butter was salted or not as it came wrapped and unlabeled in a kinda rustic looking parchment paper, which is why we added no salt when we did our double boiler routine with the hollandaise. our mistake were not tasting. am ordinary using unsalted butter, but the reality is you got around 1/4t salt per 8 tablespoons o' salted butter... variation 'tween brands means somewhere 'tween 1.25-1.75% salt, and that means there is extreme few recipes we would be using less salt than the fractional amounts in even the most salty butter. yeah, don't add the same amount o' salt to a dish with salted butter as you would when using unsalted butter, but is pretty tough to oversalt 'cause o' butter... or so we thought. heck, we always under-salt so we may fix at the end o' the process, though for something such as a hollandaise it is a bit more difficult to add salt late. we so didn't need to add salt late. am literal never having had butter with so much salt. shoulda' tasted. even so, as long as you assume ~1/4t salt per 8 tablespoons o' salted butter, you should be safe. should. HA! Good Fun!
  6. ruined a hollandaise, and not in the typical manner. when finished, the sauce looked creamy and perfect. unfortunate, we didn't realize we were outta our regular butter choice until we had already separated a couple egg yolks in preparation o' making our sauce. so we used "really good" butter a friend o' ours had gifted us. we did not taste the butter before using 'cause we were already poaching eggs at the time and, well... saltiest arse butter... evar. HA! Good Fun!
  7. am not unsympathetic to the plight o' the working class american. has gotta be soul crushing to need work harder and longer every year to functional get less and less. for far too many americans, there is little job security and even less hope o' a better tomorrow. health care is a huge factor 'cause the number one source o' crippling debt in the US is related to health care costs, but health care is a big problem and not easy to fix. american farms have seeming been in trouble since before Gromnir were born and now we got climate change and regardless o' whether you think the climate change is man-made or natural, a difficult job is getting tougher 'cause natural calamities is happening with more frequency. even w/o the climate change aspects, struggling farmers has been a reality for decades. no easy fixes. automation increases has happened slower than expected but at the same time former agrarian nations is finally entering the industrial age, and those countries pay their workers a fraction o' what US workers need to make poverty level wages. it is impossible for american producers and employers o' working class americans to compete with foreign labor cost. transitioning working class americans to current and future jobs which might provide money enough to purchase a house and send 2.5 kids to college is requiring creative thinking. no easy fixes. etc. the problems ain't simple and the anger from working class whites is understandable. trump came along and told working class whites that their fears were not only legit, but he acted as outraged as they were. he told working class whites that the media and the elites were lying to 'em 'bout their problems and that he had simple and obvious solutions which would make their lives better... if he could just get another $5 campaign contribution so he could win the battle with the deep state. working class whites always suspected they were being told lies-- bs receptivity and conspiratorial thinking is most pronounced amongst groups who feel as if they has been getting the fuzzy end o' the lollypop. lack of education (as opposed to lack o' intelligence) is also a typical factor o' those likely to fall prey to bs and conspiracy. am doubting most o' the washington gop politicians believe the stoopid trump is selling, but they need the maga base to win national elections and so they engage in performance art to keep the maga base satisfied. that said, am thinking it is a bit myopic for libs to write off maga brand working class white anger. the anger is real and legit. the only reason the white working class were such easy targets for trump is 'cause from their pov, nobody were helping them. reality is complicated, but the anger is genuine. am thinking democrats need to get their act together 'cause we has seen that just 'cause the gop embraces the proud boys and david duke white supremacy does not prevent cuban-americans and second generation mexicans from supporting republicans in increasing numbers. whatever. as for the issue in gaza, the mowing the lawn/grass metaphor were swell as long as it continued to work for israel. obviously there were intelligence failures and now israel is gonna need come up with a new scheme. neither the arabs or israelis has been true interested in peace since the second intifada, so it is difficult to pretend to be surprised by the recent violence save for how unprepared were israel. the hamas attack clear took considerable planning and coordination. maybe not massive amphibious landing kinda coordination, but the hamas attacks didn't come together in days or even weeks. thanks to the cell organization employed by hamas, not a whole lotta people had to know every detail, but numerous people had to know something were happening likely months ahead o' the actual attack. israel not knowing is disappointing 'cause they is considered among the best at sniffing out such info. regardless, am not seeing any difficulty in being revolted by hamas and simultaneous recognizing israel is part to blame for the current conflagration. given the tribalism surrounding the issue, it appears impossible to find fault with both israel and hamas w/o being labeled as traitorous/naive/immoral/hypocritical/etc. yeah, hamas is a group o' terrorists who has an espoused goal o' eliminating israel by any means necessary. mistreatment o' women, jews, lgbqt, and anybody not aligned with hamas? people on this board support such a group? well, ok then. simultaneous, the situation in gaza, while hardly the genocidal campaign by israel described by a few, represents brutal and uncompromising efforts with no meaningful progress being made towards a peaceful resolution or even bettering the situation o' the multitudes in gaza. israel is active trying to maintain conditions bad enough in gaza so that hamas cannot mount effective terror attacks while at same time making not so bad that US and world outrage lasts much longer than whenever the current mow the grass effort ends. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/10/commission-inquiry-collecting-evidence-war-crimes-committed-all-sides-israel again, we got some sympathy for israel as they fight asymmetrical a terrorist organization which has been voted into power by the arabs living in gaza, a terrorist organization which has already committed war crimes in this most recent conflict. am recalling a line from a J. Scalia opinion: "one could hold up a sign saying, for example, that all "anti catholic bigots" are misbegotten; but not that all "papists" are, for that would insult and provoke violence "on the basis of religion." st. paul has no such authority to license one side of a debate to fight freestyle, while requiring the other to follow marquis of queensbury rules." am not having difficulty condemning israel if/when they shut off power and water in gaza. we won't hesitate to condemn hamas if/when they purposeful fights from places of worship, hospitals and civilian housing. am similar not so naive as to expect one side to adhere to marquis of queensbury rules. that said, regardless o' asymmetrical realities o' fighting a terrorist organization, am thinking israel needs be aware that from a practical pov they cannot expect continued US support if they exceed some fuzzy and unspecific threshold o' terrible. hamas is not constrained by limits related to western notions o' fair play and morality. just a fact. the whataboutism will be rich. apologists for the russians, serbs and chinese is already whatabouting israel and will continue to do so for howsoever long this particular bruhaha lasts, as if that in anyway diminishes the excesses o' the aforementioned. so it goes. HA! Good Fun!
  8. fixed. particularly with multiclassing, every major patch sees boon companion interact a bit different and often inexplicable. two different multiclass combos which nevertheless have the same amount of domain class levels will produce differing animal companion levels. however, even if boon companion is once again broken, then assuming the level penalty for separatist is applied same as in pnp, that would mean your pure cleric wouldn't get their animal companion until level six instead o' four. so, even if boon companion breaks and you are able to squeeze out a level twenty animal companion, you nevertheless would be acquiring the companion late... later. edit: the two level delay is precise why we would avoid adding the animal domain to a through the ashes or lord of nothing separatist character. through the ashes saw a difficulty spike which encouraged us to have a party with multiple animal companions, particular leopards and horses as their upgrades come at level four. am recalling not hitting level four until earlyish into the third and penultimate significant area of through the ashes. as such, even more than the base game, adding an animal companion sooner is a premium benefit. sacred huntsmaster, hunters generally, wildland shaman, and numerous other options which provide animal companions at level one enjoy a big advantage in the through the ashes dlc. a separatist cleric would be self gimping to take animal as their non-deity approved domain and would not gain the benefits o' the companion until some time after the start o' dlc 5. as such, animal domain when added via a separatist doesn't make a whole lotta sense for either a main campaign character or through the ashes. unfortunate. HA! Good Fun!
  9. as a cleric, the separatist is able to choose a domain which is not part o' their deity's portfolio, but they suffer a level and attribute penalty when using domain related benefits. so, as a priest o' abadar you could choose nobility as well as madness, a domain which would otherwise be verboten for those followers o' the master of the first vault. in wotr, clerics o' abadar pick two domains from the following: nobility, law, protection, earth and travel. no madness. no community, no *insert whatever you think is a powerful and groovy domain here*. the downside for choosing the separatist domain means you take the negative attribute and level modifiers when using the second domain.... and you lose access to the deity favored weapon benefit. in pnp, the separatist is an extreme useful archetype... if you are able to convince your dm the second domain makes sense in the context o' your character. try and explain why your separatist priest o' gorum should get access to animal (feather) is possible, but... the wotc impossible domain powha makes the separatist kinda pointless. there is no penalties involved in adding an impossible domain to your mythic priest and you may choose multiple such impossible domains. the thing is, the through the ashes and lord of nothing characters don't get mythic powhaz. HA! Good Fun!
  10. desperation? the gop doesn't have a platform at present. they are a party of outrage and grievance. current republicans is not for anything, but they are against a whole lot. it is much easier to be against something than it is to come up with plans to fix problems which has persisted and become worse over decades of time. implementing those solutions successful is even more difficult and politically hazardous. the thing is, since at least ww2, americans has demanded results far more than they has been concerned with ideology or political performance theatre. sure, maybe you get elected on impossible promises, but if you don't deliver, americans will turn on you... fast. however, in 2023, the republican party leader is a demagogue, something aberrational in US politics for a long time. counter-intuitive and unreasonable the working class doesn't even expect results. they want the gop to fight the authoritarian dems, crt, the rainbow flag and mask recommendations. trying to figure out the crazy o' the gop is less difficult if you recognize that their goal is to look like they are fighting. is kinda bizarre, but fixing working class problems actual hurts the gop. the only reason the gop appeals to the working class is 'cause those folks is suffering and are angry, so a nonsense platform o' outrage and grievance is effective. HA! Good Fun!
  11. it is too bad the separatist is a wotr archetype. the mythic powhaz make the separatist a trap option unless you are using it exclusive for the through the ashes and lord of nothing dlc. am remaining highly suspicious o' the shadowcaster implementation. is no way to do shadowcaster exact like pnp. crpgs is fundamental different from pnp, so different is not a problem in our estimation. the thing is, shadow spells has been buggy since release and they continue to work not quite as their in-game descriptions suggest. regardless, we were pleasant surprised by through the ashes. owlcat attempted to do something different with their implementation o' pathfinder rules compared to what they showed us for kingmaker and most o' wotr. through the ashes was not perfect, but we were mighty optimistic about the different approach owlcat took insofar as encounter and level design. am looking forward to the dlc #5. ... we will say, lord of nothing is either a brave or foolish name choice. both? is a freaking cartoon bullseye, no? game "journalists" is hardly the most mature or clever group you are likely to encounter, so it takes little imagination to anticipate the various puns and in-jokes the dlc will spawn, particularly if the owlcat offering is lackluster or bad. HA! Good Fun!
  12. stopped reading here. whether serious or not, am recognizing a gag post for what it is. HA! Good Fun!
  13. the frustrating part o' the debates 'bout immigration is that most of it is theatre. immigrants (particularly illegals) do statistical less crime than the overall US population and when the trump administration allowed individual states to reject relocated immigrants, not a single state, red or blue, rejected. places like utah were desperate in need o' the kinda labor those undocumented-and-waiting-trial immigrants were willing to do. etc. is a whole lotta legit concern regarding illegal immigration but somehow whichever party is current anti-immigration manages to set the agenda, so instead o' talking real, we talk about ultra-expensive and pointless wall boondoggles, while pretending that undocumented immigrants willing to take near minimum wage jobs picking strawberries or working in poultry processing plants somehow hurts the white working class population. and scaring old people with anecdotal stories about venezuelan and mexican rapists is oh so helpful when trying to have a meaningful discussion about immigration, yes? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/12/21/what-ronald-reagan-actually-said-about-border-security-according-history-not-donald-trump/ Bush said immigration policy needed to be “sensitive” and “understanding” toward the “really honorable, decent, family-loving people” that had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without documentation. Reagan echoed that sentiment. “Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit,” he said. “And then while they’re working and earning here, they pay taxes here. And when they want to go back they can go back.” The border, he said, should be open “both ways” — and border security policy should take into account the economic challenges facing Mexico. again, am agreeing that there is a whole lotta serious issues involving immigration, but is almost never the stuff we see our elected representatives discuss. frightening people with bogus arguments and misleading crime numbers results in more reliable campaign contributions than does explaining how difficult it is to tackle problems which has existed for many decades. HA! Good Fun!
  14. minor quibble: we would say that the difference is that under trump, the human travesties became policy goals. from a 2019 Gromnir post: "however, before people get too angry at barr and trump, ms. fabian, the lawyer for doj in our clips, argued another flores case three years ago and it were even more disturbing. a woman who were trying to instigate a hunger strike in protest o' conditions at a detainment facility had her child seperated from her and the child placed in solitary confinement. fabian tried to argue such treatment were perfect acceptable under the flores settlement. separate and isolate child were a legit response to insurrection by the mother o' the child. 2015 were obama administration, and while there were not a general policy o' child separations in spite o' trump claims, clearly it did happen in more than a couple instances." have also posted the following a couple times: "not just kids. "'cause is not criminal trial with criminal trial protections, those seeking asylum is not granted real protections and is often given what amounts to a sham trial." ... "ps the last Two presidential administrations has been abominable and arguable inhumane when dealing with the immigration crisis. the trump admin has been orders o' magnitude worse than obama, but the previous President would not be comfortable talking 'bout his immigration record. the obama doj, just one example, argued it were appropriate to use solitary confinement to punish mothers who went on a hunger strike in response to mistreatment o' themselves and their children while being detained on immigration issues. obama's doj argued the moms were inciting disobedience and as were civil, they didn't have criminal rights, so... " ok, the thing is, as much as am having criticized the obama administration, what trump did different is that he and his nativist cronies made suffering the point o' their policies. the goal for the trump admin, with stephen miller as architect o' the scheme, were to make conditions bad enough that illegal US immigration, which btw had been decreasing steadily for decades, would be an act only the most desperate would even contemplate. under trump, human rights travesties were the point. aside, and this will bother many, am thinking some o' the tragedy regarding illegal immigrants is functional unavoidable and the goal should be to limit as 'posed to expecting elimination o' the problems. as a practical matter, it is impossible to make illegal border crossing criminal 'cause we already see backlogs of eight years in many jurisdictions. imagine if each immigrant had to be given a jury trial? can't do it. the problem is the immigrants don't get criminal defendant protections. 'course trump is also the guy who were suggesting the US should invade venezuela, while active working to destabilize the south american regime. pretend as if the US ain't at least part to blame for the massive uptick in venezuelan refugees is requiring a level o' willful obtuse am unable to manage. regardless, US immigration, like US health care, is complex issues with a whole lotta different parts... and Gromnir is old enough to recall a time when democrats and republicans were polar opposites on the issue. keep in mind trumpy fear mongering about illegals stealing jobs from working class americans and the largely imaginary crime stat hobgoblins shared at fox news were mainstays o' the democrat platform well into the 80s. please recall that working class whites were worried about such back in the 60s and at the time those individuals were dependable democrat voters. example: am having previous mentioned how Barbara Jordan is kinda a personal role model for Gromnir. her positions on immigration might be considered too harsh by current gop standards. even so, as disappointed as Gromnir were with all three recent administrations, trump were a notable outlier and not just 'cause trump appears proud o' the human suffering brought about during his term. human travesty were a conscious goal under trump. HA! Good Fun!
  15. so the companion o' the fifth dlc is named penta? am assuming pentatonic scale will be relevant someway/somehow. how droll (<--sarcasm.) am also gonna go way out on a limb and guess class is bard. now if penta played a hurdy gurdy, kazoo or euphonium, we might be intrigued. the flute in the image looks modern, so why not a euphonium? HA! Good Fun!
  16. am tending to agree, but whenever we ask the trespassing cervids for id, they either ignore us, or they give us a tough-guy glare which would make just about any mafia button man envious. our local deer population has almost zero fear o' canines or humans. as such am unable to say with certainty if the two images depict the same interloper. regardless, our community needs to think about importing a wolf pack or two. oh sure, most o' the neighborhood felines would go missing before the deer problem were solved, but if you are gonna make an omelet, right? am joking about the wolves. HA! Good Fun!
  17. and today it is almost always a doe outside our office, but in early autumn the bucks monopolize the spot. HA! Good Fun!
  18. is not as if am unable to afford lamb, but am marveling at how expensive it has become. when the cost o' lamb first began to skyrocket here in ca, we held out hope the increase were temporary. we thought positive, and anticipated the price would get more reasonable in a few months... or six months... or maybe next year? no? we like lamb a whole lot, but am always feeling like most lamb cuts is a splurge kinda ingredient perhaps 'cause am so old am recalling when a can o' coke cost twenty-five cents and rack o' lamb were maybe $3 per pound? that said, our frugality don't prevent us from cooking a nice leg o' lamb or the like at least a couple times per year, but is almost always a special occasion. however, lamb breast is typical less than half the cost o' even shoulder chops, and particular for stews and the like, the breast is an ideal cut with plenty o' connective tissue. lamb breast is also fantastic smoked or roasted. seeing as how am having become such a cheap bastard in our declining years, and 'cause we do like lamb, we buy lamb breast surprising often. HA! Good Fun!
  19. made not osso bucco. nowadays we avoid veal, so we made with oxtails... osso coda? also, we didn't use polenta and instead went with a yukon gold mashed potato side for which we used a potato ricer to get extra smooth. roasted broccolini were the handwave inclusion o' something leafy and green allowing us to pretend the meal were at least somewhat healthy. best part o' the meal were the fact our dinner guest were an acquaintance with whom we felt comfortable enough to suck on our oxtail bones. edit: for lunch we made pasta pomodoro. we used fresh cherry and roma tomatoes from a local farm. am mentioning our lunch 'cause o' how we now ordinary cook pasta such as spaghetti or linguine, which is to use minimal water and to cook in a twelve inch skillet. a twelve inch skillet is the perfect diameter for spaghetti and it takes far less time to cook pasta in the skillet as you are using considerable less water. chances are when am having brought the pasta to just shy o' al dente, we have only a smidge more pasta water than needed to finish off our sauce. am using a non-stick pan for our pasta when am making tomato sauces 'cause it is non reactive. for today's lunch, when the pasta were near done, we add the sauce, fresh basil and microplaned parmesan to the off-heat skillet. residual heat from the sauce and the pan finished cooking the pasta and the starchy pasta water and cheese thickened up the sauce. HA! Good Fun! ps chances are most folks reading is already aware, but counter-intuitive, a bit of starchy pasta water will thicken a tomato sauce.
  20. don't wanna make this politics side-track, but we will note our position remains unchanged and am thinking if you wouldn't trust a person to drive an auto or operate a gas stove 'cause o' concerns about cognitive impairment, then occupying an article I, II, or III office should also be recognized as unreasonable. there is gonna be some unspecific point at which a person cannot do the job no more. seeing as is so difficult to identify that point, am thinking the obvious solution is to choose an arbitrary age as the cut off for those serving in article I, II or III offices. 'course such a change would take an amendment, so... as to new blood and perspectives? nope. is not how democracy works. if the people want moribund representatives with old blood, and they cast votes for such representatives, then they should get the representatives they chose. furthermore it should be axiomatic that there is nothing inherent better about younger or newer perspectives. that said, am personal a champion o' young and stoopid even so, is nothing inherent better about new or young pov and for those who support democracy, some kinda preferential regard for new blood would be antithetical. regardless o' the duration o' her tenure, at the end feinstein were too old and is unfortunate that her legacy were marred by what she could no longer do in her last couple years as 'posed to all she had accomplished in many decades o' service. HA! Good Fun!
  21. the qualifiers is noteworthy as you didn't mention one o' 'em when you marveled at her 868 year tenure, yes? as kp would say, "naughty." again, the duration o' her tenure is not all that remarkable, unless you start adding qualifiers. however, as already stated, am recognizing what is kinda surprising just how not unusual is the duration o' her tenure. HA! Good Fun!
  22. with enough qualifiers, any statement may be true. as far as tenure durations, she might be top ten o' Congressmen who's last name begins with an "F." pelosi has served longer albeit in the house. is also at least three men current in the senate who has served longer. feinstein did serve longer than any other California senator and she were also the longest serving woman senator, but again, the hyperbolic 868 years bit ignores the admitted surprising reality that feinstein is way down the list o' longest tenures... somewhere in the 150 range? 'cause she were so old and clear enfeebled, is perhaps easy to overlook just how not unique were the duration o' her tenure. HA! Good Fun!
  23. as hard as it might be to believe, feinstein don't even crack the top 100 longest serving Congressman list. HA! Good Fun!
  24. Play The Lamplighters League Free Demo starting tomorrow, September 28 HA! Good Fun!
