Allen Weisselberg is receiving a slap on the wrist...it is a disgrace IMO

"Weisselberg reportedly agreed to a five-month jail term, but could serve as few as 100 days in prison"

"Weisselberg admitted to the 15 counts he was charged with, but did not agree to disclose any information on Trump himself"

DU membership

I'm sure this is operator error, but every time I attempt to pay for a yearly membership with CC, I get directed to a foreign Paypal page. What am I doing wrong? I am using the link on DU. This is frustrating.

LMAO, just on MSNBC..."YOU" don't own your passports...the government does.

This one sentence made my day.
"They can take them back any time they want to". Eat it fatass!!

Unless I am badly mistaken, there hasn't been ONE word out of tfg to defuse the

threats against the FBI or other agencies. ANY decent human being would do everything in their power to keep anyone from getting hurt, but not this MF'er. I grew up hearing that "a tiger never changes it's stripes." In his case, it is certainly true.

I'm sure this has been stated, but WHEN the indictments come down...

there will be one phrase spewing from every right-wing piehole: IT WAS ALL PLANTED!!!

It's all they have.

If ya know, ya know...

I just had a bag of xantham gum burst on my countertop.....

Even after a deep cleaning, it still feels like a thousand slugs have been crawling on it this morning.

Oh well, the trials of attempting to eat "well".

Re: Kansas vote. Wont repug legislators just keep it off the ballot in red states?

It has to be ON the ballot before it can be voted on, right?
It's like in Alabama. The majority here want the lottery, but can never get it on the ballot.
Is that what we have in store?

Hoping someone might be able to supply some assistance on caregivers

Just to get you caught up, wifey has contracted MDS because of her extensive chemo treatments for Stage 4 Lymphoma.
The only way to "cure" MDS is to get a stem-cell transplant. This requires the patient to get the transplant, stay in the hospital for 4 weeks, then be transferred to a "place" where she can receive 24/7 care for another 8 weeks.
They (the hospital) will not give her the transplant unless we have the 24/7 care set up beforehand. They will also not assist us in finding said care. The ONLY assistance has been that we can hire someone at around $400 a day to stay with her.

Does anyone here have ANY ideas for us? We have become desperate. We have no family members who can give up their life for 8 weeks and stay with her. It is "nearly" impossible for me to do so because of reasons I will not bore you with here.

Has anyone been able to get grants to help pay for this kind of care?
Agencies we can contact?
Any ideas will be helpful.
Thank you, FAC

Can anyone share a personal feel-good story on receiving a stem-cell transplant to battle

MDS? We need some good vibes.
Thanks.

The Carbon Almanac

This seems to be worth supporting. Paul is one of my favorite people. Hope you have a moment to watch.
