1. Not sure of the context.

Does he take his trophy everywhere?

[Angry Dragon]

4. seems like it

[ornotna]

6. Christmas card picture

Their friends will love it.

[demmiblue]

16. Hmmm... hard decision between the two:

[longship]

26. I like how you dress. You ought to have your clothes cleaned and burned.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. Loooooove those hashtags.

🙄

[WinkyDink]

44. She has it tough, the dame above.

[spanone]

2. they took a picture as they looted the treasury?

[MineralMan]

3. What a strange photo...

It brings lots of possible stories to mind.

I think the guy in the back is the lookout...If he sees someone coming, he'll say, "Psst! Cheese it! Here come the feds!"

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. I'd likewise like some sort of context.

Perhaps I should recognize the people in the photo, but I don't. Care to enlighten me?

[herding cats]

8. That's US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. Thank you.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. And his trophy wife. n/t

[WinkyDink]

10. You didn't recognize Stevie "No Promises" Mnuchin?!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. Nope. I don't own a TV, so while I'm familiar with names

and at least what some of the henchman around Trump look like, I don't recognize them all.

I appreciate being informed.

[Corvo Bianco]

27. They're excited because his signature is now on the money.

[WinkyDink]

38. You're the lucky one, with this Administration.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

41. Ohhh, I know I am.

My current state of no TV has lasted nine years now, and I honestly can't imagine I'll ever have one again. I can watch most of the TV shows I want via the internet, and I simply do without the others. As it is, there are enough good shows out there (no matter your personal definition of good) that there's more to watch than any sensible person has time for.

Here's the good part. No ads. Which means the rare times I'm somewhere that has commercial TV turned on, I'm driven crazy by the ads. And the best part? No political advertisements. Makes election season much nicer.

And while I do have some gaps in my knowledge, such as not recognizing the people in the photo, overall I'm as well informed as anyone. Plus, by not having a TV turned on all day, I don't get caught up in the hype of the story of the moment. It's nice. I'd recommend to all to get rid of your TV.

[WinkyDink]

43. Plus the $$$avings!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

46. Probably my biggest savings

comes from not being exhorted to Buy! Buy! Buy! all day long. I am retired, living on a decent, but small and fixed income. Since I don't see the ads that imply my life is worthless unless I own this or that new thing, it's not so hard to get along with what I have.

But I think the savings from not having cable or satellite service might be substantial. I do know a lot of people complain about them. I do have Netflix, both streaming and DVD, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. I watch on the computer screen that's in front of me as I type this, and since I'm the only one watching I get to sit as close as I want. Yeah. Lucky me indeed.

[WinkyDink]

47. I have a big PC monitor, but I don't really like "TV" on it. So I have cable, but

not Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc.

I have Amazon Prime, but I never remember that I do! 😁

11. Sec. of the Treasury Mnuchin and his blonde actress racist book writing wife

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. Thank you.

Sometimes my ignorance is vast.

[Yavin4]

28. Mnuchin finally got that cheerleader that turned him down in high school

All it took was for him to do well in school, get hired by Goldman Sachs, rip off the public, produce crappy movies in Hollywood, and then work for Trump as his Treas. secretary.

[demmiblue]

7. More info (sorry!):

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Treasurer Jovita Carranza are now on the money, literally.

The two officials took a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on Wednesday to see firsthand the production of new $1 bills, the first currency that will bear their signatures.

Mnuchin’s signature is decidedly more legible than that of his predecessor Jacob Lew. Lew had handwriting that was so sloppy that former President Barack Obama once joked that unless he made his signature more legible, it might debase the currency.

Carranza and Mnuchin, accompanied by his wife Louise Linton, examined sheets of the $1 bills at the bureau’s Washington printing plant. The currency will be shipped to Federal Reserve regional banks around the country, and the new bills are expected to go into circulation in December.

Both Treasury officials provided 10 sample signatures, from which one was chosen for government engravers.

40. Remember this gem from the trophy wife?

Linton continued in her response to the critic: “Adorable! Do you think the US govt paid for our honeymoon or personal travel?! Lololol. Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country? I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day ‘trip’ than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than you’d be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours.”

In other words we're rich and you're not. So we're entitled.

[Kirk Lover]

42. You know what really annoys me is this asshole is supposed to be working...WORKING and all I

see is pics of him and his dumb wife while he's supposed to be WORKING. Leave her at home to do important things like shopping because she's sure a shit not any 'actress' I know. SCUM..THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

[GoCubsGo]

45. With that smug look on her face,

one would think she was holding a sheet of hundred dollar bills, instead of singles. I look forward to seeing her face when her shitbag husband is frog-marched off to prison.
