They are what they say/do DAILY. 100% of the time. You don't take a sampling once or twice then move on and leave them alone. ESPECIALLY IS THIS TRUE OF POLITICIANS! Why should you? They need constant investigation/attention/review to make sure they don't try to pull something over on you while you aren't looking. They are a sneaky bunch and need to be held accountable by all of us every day 24/7. Do you? Hold them accountable? Every day in every way you can? less

It matters not if you are a nuttycrazymentally incapacitated fruitcake, evil, cruel, mean,deceitful, traitorous. Money washes all of that away and you glisten and shine and sparkle. If you have enough money you can get away with anything at any time anywhere. What would you do with lotsa money? What what you do to get lotsa money? Why?

…so quantumly, if you tickle one electron here on Earth, its partner on the moon does the laughing…butterfly effect...However Einstein claimed NO, you CAN go out and look at the night sky, and it does not materially affect the whole cosmos…
So what do you think, did John Donne (1572-1631) preview quantum theory in his poetry “no man is an island,” and “ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee,” or was Einstein correct, that we CAN actually think a thought or do a deed that does not affect everyone/everything else in the entire cosmos?
(I almost have to recuse myself from this Q…thoroughly biased in favor of the quantum stuff from studying Buddhism…) less

One of those institutions was literature itself.”
So: Where do YOU place your faith in Western civilization? Your bank, your church, your doctor, your psychiatrist, your government of Truth, Freedom and the American Way? Or maybe The Lions Club, art, or Scientific Materialism, the Internet - to include AnswerMug (which is CERTAINLY a central institution of Western civ)... less

This is the same guy who at the podium invited Russia to hack American records/files/computers to get more dirt on her 'cause the more the better no matter the source/treason involved. He was SO enthusiastic about it! Jumping up and down and clapping his hands with anticipation!The unknown source leaks that nailed Michael Flynn was evil and unconscionable and destroyed a very good man.Bullsh**! So how many times is he gonna try to fly crap like that by? less
