Very pro human rights. Very pro working together with allies all over the world. Very anti despot dictators. Very pro American Values (patriotism loyalty financial solvency et al). Very pro honoring and following The Constitution. Very pro the three branches of government and keeping them SEPARATE and IN DEPENDENT. That's what I observe outside the boundaries of Conservatism. What do Conservatives see as the differences/disparities between what they are now and what they used to be? Anyone? less
I know being tall is better than being short. Being good-looking is better than being plain. But what's in a name? Does it carry as much weight as height or looks?

It's the least he can do for them now that he has their attention. A style setter! A fashion icon. They call dames fashionista. What do they call undames who set the tone of what's in and what's out?

Take not only what you need but as much as you want and give nothing back. A life well-lived? Really?

Then not criticizing means acceptance and support. Silence means assent not dissent. So speaking out loud against evil human snakes is our duty unless we support admire defend evil. It's complicated. What isn't?

Of course just being able to read minds at a distance wouldn't be painful but you probably would not feel any emotion at all. Well maybe SHOCK at what some folks were thinking. If someone has dream of things you could never dream yourself woldn't it be nice to share them? Or those who hear melodies inside their heads? Do you hear melodies too? Musicians do I'm sure. Something best left in The Twilight Zone? less

He tracks what you say and do. How? He has his ways. He is coming for you. He never forgets and never forgives and always takes out his enemies. You are his enemy. You did not do what he told you to do. Tsk. Condolences. Now I'm not talking about the anti-dons. We have always been on his list to take out. It is the independents moderates who voted for him that he will target. Better weaponize yourselves in some way. You are at risk for his revenge! Uh-oh. Hear that knock on your door? DON'T ANSWER IT! :( less

The john of don ignores the fact of his judges and points fingers at the judges other presidents selected. Here is how IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. A president appoints a judge to become a justice . The Senate does its advise and consent. Regardless of which president of which party appointed a JUSTICE they are all supposed to be INDEPENDENT OF POLITICS. The john of don is so dumb he thinks we are as dumb as he is. We are not. He will never wisen up so we will always have the upper hand intellectually. Poor fella. He is so outclassed on every level. He only reigns now temporarily because the pols he has to work with are scared sh**less of him. Not the House after January 3, 2019. But now the House shivers and shakes and quakes and the Senate is so afraid of him they dare not speak up to disagree. The only ones who do are leaving so they have nothing to lose. It is a sham and a shame that grown men are so afraid of a tyrant they w... less

It is a rhetorical question.

I wonder how many theoretical people an Anthony would dispatch to a cornfield. We never found out what happened to the folks who ended up there. Rod Serling left that part to our imaginations. For the Twilight Zone cognoscenti. What do YOU imagine awaited them there?

Take those duties very seriously and are always on the job 24/7. I guess God talked to them and told them that was what they should do with their lives and so being very desirous of pleasing God they mingle with us and live among us. Always taking you to task for this and that and the thing too. Repeatedly. Endlessly. Seriously. Rigidly. You cannot escape their scrutiny. Do you mind or kind like the attention? Being under a microscope 24/7 sends you to heaven perchance? SIGH. That's life folks! Take the bad with the good. They are the weeds in your garden of life and inescapable. less

Yes, of course, in my so-called real life I have dear friends and family to whom I'm thankful but I enjoy spending time here, too.I'm thankful to all of you -- I think I'm somehow "bettered" by all of us.:)

The Saudis dismembered a US resident who worked for a US newspaper. Said they didn't do. We stand by them. We supported Putin when he said he didn't meddle in our election and when he invaded Ukraine we said it's his right to take back what used to belong to Russia. We buy whatever the despot dictators sell. We are so easy aren't we? We also buy a pedophile like Roy Moose who said he isn't. We bought the Rob Porter denial of beating his wives even when we saw the photos of eyes that were black and blue. Just deny it and we buy it! less
Because he sez sez he it takes too much energy. Of course that's the point of exercise. Getting energized by exercise! Sometimes he misses the point entirely! :(
