But the parents had parents too and so we can blame them. How far back do we go assessing blame for the abominable conditions we see today in the world because of the people, some of whom are despicable? Lousy parenting because of lousy goals and lousy morals and lousy views? I dunno. Do you?

What is there to prevent you from setting people up and framing them and then using what they said against them? Can a prez do whatever he dam* pleases and it will automatically be legal? How do we know such tapes haven't been dillydallied with and changed?

I don't know if that would be a good thing to do. I'm not a fan of ultimatums. I do not react well to them. Do you?

Why would any honorable/honest person with great integrity and love of country ever do anything so flagrantly shady/shameful as that?

Will he try to make nice and apologize or will he double down and attack ten times harder? When does he govern? When does he have time? He is so busy devising ways to take people down and then there is his incessant tweeting. How does he fit in the job of prez? In-between what's really important to him which is only one thing? Getting back at everyone who doesn't love him? less

I liked the comfort of knowing what I knew and what I didn't know by being graded and learning what I got wrong. Just like a Driver's Test. There is pass or fail of course BUT there are standards. You can only miss so many and then you fail the test. You are shown what you got wrong. If you fortunately get all of them right you get 100%! How do you feel about grades? Why? less
