Now there's a horse of a different color.Could you be an undercover cop and pull it off? Could you be an industrial spy and steal company secrets? Could you be a political spy and be a successful traitor?Do you ever pretend to be someone else in your current life? Either on the internet or when you go out and about? It is said that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Well that could be true of anywhere you are not known. You could pretend to be anyone you want and who would know that you're just very good at lying?There must lots of money to be made lying. A noble profession to some. Not so hot to others. Different strokes. Are liars most often found in politics because they are drawn to it like moths to a flame? All actors of necessity must be liars. Is that for all politicians too? less

A bazillion years ago. Makes sense doesn't it?But if the simpleminded nationalist populists extreme right-wing isolationists have their way there would be no foreign trade. Buy only what your country manufactures or do without. What could be simpler than that?Okey dokey. Which country would do best doing that? Why do you think so?

Or is it?Seems to me the prankster enjoys making the prankee look foolish. Why would that be pleasurable to the giver and the givee? I don't get it.I am not a fan of looking foolish nor of making others look foolish. I think that is foolish. What think thee and why?

Did you know that a bazillion electrical and electronic thingies DEPEND ON rare earths as among the components for then to be manufactured? Did you know that China has threatened to cut us off due to the sb prez tariffs ploy? Did you know that would deeply harm our security since everything we produce to insure our security is made with rare earths? So if China refuses to provide us with the rare earths we need for the bazillion things we manufacture what do you propose we do? Go to war with China? Stop the tariffs talk?Every day in every way scarier becomes the norm in the good old US of A. Hey hey hey! less
What about Wu Who? Wouldn't that be worse? Actually Wu is a Chinese surname so few if any Chinese have it as a first name. But it was fun anyway, right?

He stonewalls everything all the time and proudly brags about his efficiency in preventing anything from getting through.So for y'all who bit** and moan and groan and kvetch that no legislation is getting done you can thank your very own son of a mitch for that. Ain't he sweet?

Then I found out that Flo Rida had "sampled" the opening seconds of Etta James singing in her "Something's Got a Hold of Me." Here I had wondered who is this great female singer? Flo Rida repeats her, over and over, making it sound like someone is singing along - - but it's literally just the opening seconds of James' song; just her phrases repeated, over and over.:)Here are both songs, Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" first. Then Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold of Me" and the opening part that Flo Rida used.James never ceases to amaze me (I only "discovered" her recently) -- and, now, I can hear it's her. But up until I found out, I had no idea.:) less

"It does so happen"? I mean isn't that childish?Why argue with someone who is telling you an absurdity. I can't figger out people who do/say stuff like that. Do they know they are calling you a liar?

I realize that TRUMP is insulting to America, but this is insulting to sharing and contributing to a preferred way of life.How do they get to sit on their butts and just bask in the glory of America without lending any input into what is needed and wanted?Educate me on this one.

I think I do. The political questions are the only kind that appeal to them because I guess their interests are very narrow on internet social sites. Perhaps they are specialized. I'm gonna ask. In real life they're probably very varied in their interests. It happens.
