Check out the FB page Lords of Cobol - Confessions of the Cyber-Amish - it's me. I had no idea you were a COBOL/BAL/JCL guy.

The IRS has an ancient TPF (SABR OS) system way more arcane than COBOL. I was at the TPF User Group in 1997 and the IRS was so far back-level it wasn't even called TPF. The IRS guy was actually sobbing in the breakout meeting. If you thought you wouldn't feel sorry for an IRS guy.

Do you remember when a former president didn't enter office for the first time after settling a Fraud university case?

I remember when our presidents never colluded with Russia to attacks our election to help him get elected including getting the entire GOP to circulation a Russian spy , (maria Butina) into all their formal political meets. Even one that let her ask presidential GOP candidate questions of favoring Russia if elected.

Can you recall when a president never extorted another country for political dirt on his predicted re election opponent OR when our presidents never organized and incited an insurrection to keep himself in office after losing the election?

I remember when the GOP would impeach a president for having an extra marital affair between two consenting adults because of there superior moral religious political values. Like the Speaker of the house who did the same and had to leave. Almost replaced by another GOP loose dick and finally replaced that speaker with a actual child molesting pedophile who was eventually convicted.

Are you able to recall when such a president would after losing his election and insurrection bid to stay in office would be found a Sexual assaulter in court while he running for president a second time? With the support of the religious moral family values republican party?

You see, memory can be a superpower for good judgement or it can be a curse of watching people who have no memory repealing bad history all over again.
