I'm not in least surprised at anything the Big Cheeto has done or is going to do. We can expect more of the same, without a doubt. A truly sorry state of affairs.

Thanks, Serafina. I never bring new clothes or electronics, etc., or anything that I feel would stick out like a sore thumb, when returning from the US. I most always bring books, household/kitchen items (wax paper, condiments, etc.), vitamins, DVDs - all essentially inconsequential items for...

I'm not sure just what all of this means. Could someone enlighten me with a brief summary?

Spot on, Camberiu, and Dump's exploitation of fear (thanks in large part to Bannon, et al) will only encourage the already willful stupidity of so much of US society. Right now, the outlook is nothing but bleak and scary for what is coming.

Received the benefits statement on 3 Jan and the 1099 statement this past Tuesday.

My feelings exactly.

Alcoholic beverages are not forbidden in Morocco, although all religious Moroccan Muslims know it is frowned upon and thus the majority of them do not drink in public. Morocco also produces many good wines. For drinkers who want to visit Morocco, don't hesitate. The liquor flows, believe me...

I encountered the same problem with two cards I purchased around Christmas. A friend, however, helped salvage one of them for use, but only after I'd ruined the other one by angrily scraping away like a madman. Grrrrr! FYI, I just did a test call of 0822...etc., and the number worked fine.

And as the govt admitted, as yet they have no alternative plan re bags for shoppers, etc. Brilliant! Another case of Argentina's usual one step forward, two steps back MO.

Thanks, Ed. I've reached the age when sometimes numbers begin to blur.

DB, did you receive your form yet? I haven't as yet.

Perhaps it's the correo here just being slow again. Re a 2017 COLA, it's a paltry 0.03 percent.

I have yet to receive by mail the annual SSA-4926-SM-F form, which confirms a Social Security recipient's benefit amount for 2017. Anyone else here not received this form yet? In the past, usually I receive this form by the middle of December.

I couldn't agree more, Tex. A sorry state of affairs.

Credulity incarnate.

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything concerning this jackass. With Bannon in the WH, it's all downhill. Just imagine the forthcoming cabinet appointments.... Sad, sad, sad.

SteveP, many thanks for posting the link. I'm still IT ignorant and thus didn't know how to do it!

Camberiu, hats off to you for posting this superb video. I suggest people read Glenn Greenwald's brilliant analysis of this election on the AlterNet website. This video and Greenwald's essay go hand in hand. I supported HRC's candidacy only for the hope of keeping Benito Dump out of the WH...

Nosesdeayer, It’s a shame that he assumed I “liked” HRC, for I neither said nor intimated that that was the case, and so he proceeded to go on the offensive and give me/us another one of his all too familiar histrionic diatribes against any and every person or thing that does not align with his...

It would be a gross understatement to say it's obvious that Camberiu doesn't like or approve of HRC. That said, still I'd rather have her than DT, a classic narcissistic megalomaniacal nihilist.
