    I'm trying to figure out what your post has to do with the one you quoted of me.

    At any rate, I try to stay out of politics, and used cars are more expensive than they used to be.

    I'm still kicking myself in the rear end for getting rid of my $250 1993 Mazda 323 and $600 1985 VW Golf, my $1,500 1972 VW Super Beetle and my $1,000 2001 Chevy Astro. Now I'm afraid what will happen when my current car bites the dust and I'm looking at the same cars for about 10 times the price, along with all the other economic problems that have hit us.

    Maybe you should have quoted the title instead then?

    It was intended to be directly pertinent to your post as well. You may choose to be obtuse to it all you wish.

    In other countries used cars are much more expensive, so that somehow caused Trump to be convicted of felonies and then caused people to claim those convictions were fraudulent. Ah! Now I get...

    No, I'm still lost in the relation between the two concepts, regardless if both are right, wrong, or one is right and the other wrong.

    It not really so complicated. The man responsible for the disarray is not only a convicted felon, but a lifelong con man and a man of very low character.

    Yes - as is continually critiquing & questioning it. Then, honing it.
