The large number of FBI agents at Roger Stone’s house were there to execute a search warrant before computers, cellphones, and other potential evidence could be destroyed.
Does Trump’s “You need that wall” rhetoric remind anybody else of a wimpy version of Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men”?
I just received a letter from the Albany Code Enforcement Department giving me seven days to correct the violation caused by the October storm that cut one of my trees in half, falling on my new fence. I notified the company who installed the fence in October and was put on their work list. Yesterday they notified me that they would have my fence repaired by Friday. No one from this Albany department knocked at my door, called me, notified me in any way.
Face it, Fletcher, it’s gossip that makes the world go ‘round. Why do you think Facebook is such a big deal right now? People aren’t interested in facts or truth or journalistic integrity. Just give them a spoonful of news with a platter full of gossip and celebrity innuendo, and they’re in hog heaven. Yeee-haw!
To the squawker who asked where I got the info about the soldiers in Afghanistan thankful about Nancy Pelosi’s trip being cancelled: Answer? From my cousin who is stationed in Afghanistan.
Stacey Abrams giving the Democratic response to the State of the Union address? Anybody worried about Trump’s re-election just settle back and have another beer. If this is all the Democrats have got, our guy is a golden.
Trump is so usable. Whatever the kids running the White House tell him to do, he does it. I wish my dad was that usable. I could rule the world.
I’m OK with a kinder, gentler Squawkbox, but I sure do miss the “fake Christian” squawker. Where you at, sir? Ma’am?
If the Dems are successful in getting free health care for all, be prepared for big tax increases and long waiting lists for care like in England and Canada.
Half the nation is in an unprecedented deep freeze now. Albany is officially subtropical, go look it up … warmist.
Has anyone besides me noticed all the chem trails crisscrossing the sky? Pretty sure they’re not spraying for mosquitoes. Rumors are that it’s something to affect the old population so that the drug companies can make more money from elderly people that it will affect and can’t fight it because of their declining health. Just rumors.
Donald Trump is destined to be the greatest president in the history of the USA. Trump in 2024!!
Hippy King for Mayor! Free drinks for all and legalized marijuana too!
Squawker, why can’t women march and be angry when some heterosexual angry men in business, Congress and the White House want to keep them silent, less successful and dependent on incompetent men?
Is it just me, or has Donald Trump turned into Nancy Pelosi’s whipping boy?
Good job by ADDU. I hope they use the funds they’ve been accumulating from drug busts to help get more of these dealers and buyers off our streets.
