Especially when felon47 is gone. Remember, the normal statute of limitations for a 2026 tax return is 3 years from date of filing. So 4/15/2027 +3 =4/15/2030. And he won’t file by 4/15/2027.

At this rate, with Trump's on/off "war and peace" bullshit, he'll cash in billions more before he's finished (and please let that be soon!. )

titles are stupid. Simple as that.

"Market tanking", "Market bloodbath"??

The Dow was down 1.09% today. To say that is a tanking or a blood bath is just silly

This xitter post is mild relative to those, imo.

If you are annoyed by a post title, don't want to engage in the discussion or can’t think of a reason to comment that is conducive to conversation you can use the button in the upper left that says "Trash" and just trash the entire discussion and move on to something else that you maybe do want to participate in a discussion about.

But if you're just frustrated and annoyed, I guess you can "carry on," as my dad used to say. 😄

But you may not get much sympathy or make any friends. Which is fine too.

I host the Loners group, and you can always be annoyed there if you want. We're pretty much all introverts anyway. Except a few of us like me are extroverted introverts. 🤓

You can "Take the Test" and find out there if you want. Here's a link:

I 📍 pinned it to the top for you.

Thanks for your reply, Manatee. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

💜🌞👍
