I got up, looked around me to check no one was watching, and carried on walking around the field (less enthusiastically) trying to pretend I was ok. However, after this he took me to a café in some beautiful woodlands, and by this time my shins were in absolute agony and I'd developed a limp. I then had to tell him what I had done, for which he responded in kind by laughing. Needless to say the end of the day my shins were swollen black and blue, though my pride may have hurt a little more :) less

Allen Weisselberg received renewed congressional attention after disgraced Trump fixer Michael Cohen on Wednesday repeatedly mentioned the Trump Org CFO as crucial to various aspects of dubiously legal practices by President Donald Trump, from the Stormy Daniels hush-money payments to potential insurance fraud.
“The committee anticipates bringing in Mr. Weisselberg,” a Democratic committee aide told The Daily Beast.
Cohen, in marathon testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, didn’t directly tie Weisselberg to the Trump camp’s interactions with Russia, the central preoccupation of the House intelligence committee.
But Weisselberg is uniquely positioned to address questions about financial transactions or relationships that concern potential foreign leverage over Trump–which new intelligence committee chairman Rep. Adam S... less

Surely, now, we can concede that letting President Trump be Trump has exhausted itself — even among the smugly credulous.
For a year and a half, we’ve heard his supporters say: Watch what he does, not what he says. Sure, he’s rude and crude, they’ve said, but he’s going to make America great again.
No, he’s not.
Nor was he ever, notwithstanding a column I wrote just before Election Day, saying that America would survive no matter who won. My optimism was based solely on faith in the U.S. Constitution and the inherent checks and balances prescribed therein. To be wrong would mean that the checks aren’t being applied when imbalances occur.
We are there.

Our look at the horoscope of Donald Trump, a Gemini with Leo rising and Sagittarius moon.
What does GOP candidate Donald Trump’s astrology chart reveal about him? Here’s what the stars have to say.
Working the crowd: Gemini Sun in the 10th house
Donald Trump is a Gemini—the clever, fast-talking sign governed by Mercury the messenger. Love him or loathe him, you have to give it to the Donald: The man has coined some snappy soundbites. With his Uranus, ruler of technology, social media and group activity, in his tenth house of public image, it’s no surprise he’s caused such uproars on Twitter and at his own rallies. His Sun is also in the tenth house of status and leadership, in close proximity to Uranus. And while we’re personally hoping he’ll hear #You’reFired this November 8, these placements help him spit out phrases that spread like wild... less

They mean we cannot walk forward while patting our tummies and patting our heads. We can only do one thing at a time whereas they could do multiples on various levels 24/7. See they are the party that knows how to govern. They are the party that came up with a medical insurance plan for everyone.As promised it WAS BETTER AND CHEAPER, right?They are the party that kept trying to nail Hillary for anything everything nothing 24/7. AND FAILED! They are the party that BLOCKED Obama from having his rightful choice of SCOTUS replacement for Justice Scalia who died. They are the party who gets things done, keeps their promises, does everything for the people they serve by the book straightarrow and do nothing for themselves. They are honorable and honest and NEVER LIE That's what they say all day every day. SIGH. And the beat goes on. Aren't they grand as he**? less

If Jared is good friends with a dismembering butcher orderer will he share top secret info too? Of course he would and did and does. It is alleged that the Saudi Crown Prince was handed BY JARED a list of enemies he got top secretly and the butcher orderer acted upon that info. Now having a Jared leak TOP SECRET info to his depraved despotic degenerate pals is not the smartest thing to afford him access to is it? Why should we trust him? First thing he did when his FIL became prez or even before he backdoored contact with Russia to set up a secret nefarious means of communicating with Russia to circumvent the United States of America Intelligence Community.

How much credence in what he says or respect for what he is will that performance engender in anyone, friend or foe...pal or enemy? If YOU were Putin or Kim and you watched that entire two-hour-plus "performance art" what would YOU think about the clown who could say what he said as he said it? Not much I trust. It is a good thing to have on hand. it is everyone's fallback film. Whip it out and show parts of it as needed. He is so good at giving those who dislike him ammunition to use against him. What could be better than his own words/actions? Nothing could be better. And now we are all in possession of it. He is a fool. He was born one, has lived his entire life as one and showed us at great length that is all he is or ever will be. Wonder what his "kids" think of that performance? Wonder what Melania thinks? I just wonder about who wonders about anything any more. less

He comes unglued for them and is undone by them. There are no restraints. What you see is a performer who gets giddy on applause. Now he is the "allgeged" president. Hard to imagine that dingbat not pressing the red button as a grandiouse ending to another performance. That out-of-control erratic irrational rambling gibberish is a powerful mover and shaker here there and everywhere. Yet you can tell that is where he is most comfy. Having an audience respond to him with such love nd affection and support and loyalty is what he gets off on. So let him keep appeaaring in front of those of you who are cheering on stage after stage after stage as long as he breathes. Film at 11. Don't miss it. You will not soon forget it. Apologies in advance if you do. Apologies for your nightmares ever after thereafter. less
What about possible and probable though? Is the difference there as obvious? Is a possible probability more apt to benefit you than a probable possibility? Or is it a push.

Supporting a tyrant's tirades with no regard to the evil hurtful words he says means you are him or ya wanna be him.

Be proud of what you are. If not you who will be?

But is he gonna be censured/rebuked/vilified for his position on Otto Warmbier? Will we kick his corpulent a** for being a jacka** when he said "I will take his word for it" vis a vis Kim who said he knew nothing about Warmbier's torture? Is that finally a bridge too far?

Little donny dingbat described what Otto went through as being "very bad". He absolved Kim of any knowledge o... less

I would think common sense would indicate otherwise as well as experience with criminals. Do you really think murderers are godless? Rapists are atheists? What about the pedophiles who proliferate in churches..we call them priests? Are you then saying that all pedophiles are godless and reject belief in a supreme being? Or do many of them pray to GOD and confess their sins as they keep repeating repeating repeating repeating? Believing you are morally superior because you pray to an unseen entity while you cheat on yhour spouse, cheat on your taxes, lie and go out of your way to harm others is absurd. Some people ARE morally superior . Some are morally inferior. Some are both. Religion has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT pro or con. In my opinion. What think you? less

At 69 she turns even younger heads, though I know they turn in vain for in her 48 years of marriage she has never been unfaithful to my father despite opportunities and even temptations.
