  1. In accounting there are ways to classify cash transactions, unless you are trying to hide something. I don't know what the reasons for failing the audits were and I doubt you know either. If there are suspicions of fraud then a forensic auditor should be used to investigate.
  2. Same question came to my mind also. Exactly what are the sex offenses? Ruin a person's life? What about the life of the victim? This old adage applies, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
  3. Now that you have had your ridiculous say you can go back to bed.
  4. His biggest challenge will be to have a successful audit of the Pentagon. So far they have not been able to account for all the money spent. Coverup of wasteful spending?
  5. Did you read the title?
  6. No the punishment is the two bottles of Johnny Walker Black we also bring for him.
  7. So far you seem the only one that doesn't get it.
  8. You sound like a very unhappy person. Hope your vilification makes you happy.
  9. The end of an era.
  10. Early in my U.S. Navy days I was at the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong as a guest of a British sailor. When the end of happy hour was near the group ordered a pitcher of beer for each man. No way could I keep up with them. By the way, that was my introduction to fish 'n chips. Very enjoyable experience.
  11. While we are on the subject of alcohol abuse, are you aware of how the U.S. military ensures that their troops have easy and cheap access to booze. Service clubs have happy hours with reduced prices from prices that are already low. Then there are the package liquor stores with daily or weekly specials. While the military does not approve of alcohol abuse they sure make it easy to get hooked.
  12. Until they change their minds again. Then a new story begins.
  13. Still waiting for more perennial vilifiers to show up. Only a handful so far. Some of their comments are actually amusing.
  14. Thank you. You caught my mistake before I could edit my answer.
  15. McConnell, Collins and Murkowski did.
  16. Vance just cast the deciding vote.
  17. There's no doubt in my mind that Trump will do some good. The previous administration realized too late, after major damage had been done, that "open borders" was a disaster. Trump is already tackling this problem. The damage will take years to repair. Things like renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Denali are probably among some of the silly things you referred to. Let's hope for the best.
  18. IMO, just the opposite. Patel will pass muster and Gabbard won't.
  19. Capitalism like any other economic system needs to be governed by a set of laws. Laws that do not allow one group of citizens to control another group. As it is now, those with the most money are able to pass or amend laws that benefit only them. This is done through various forms of unethical and corrupt practices. History has shown when inequality reaches an intolerable level there is anarchy and revolt. The big question for the U.S. is when will we reach this point.
  20. We always bring in a 4-pack of 3 oz sticks on my annual trip for one of our best friends. He and his son use it.
  21. They rather have cheap charlies from China.
  22. Which is true for me. My girlfriend has a smartphone while old-fashioned me uses a flip phone. Upon arrival she buys a 30 day sim card. I use a pocket wifi for my laptop.
  23. Right. They keep shooting themselves in their(the) feet(foot).
