It is no-win for the attackers since it makes them look very weak and ill-informed and ill-bred and well just not too savvy. The same folks keep doing it repeatedly. I guess that's the best they can do when they want attention and care not how they go about it. And so it goes. Then when some others folks do answer the question the attackers attack them too. Jealousy perhaps? I dunno. T'is a puzzlement. less

We were on a well-traveled stretch of highway, but it was somewhat remote. He said he had run out of gas, so I volunteered to take him to the closest service station. Turns out, the place didn't sell gas cans, so he went person to person in the parking lot to see if he could borrow one or buy one from someone. At the same time, another guy walked up- he, too, had run out of gas and was trying to find a can to buy or a loaner, and the two guys sat there and started a bidding war over one random traveler's gas can. O_oIs that normal? Don't most service stations sell gas cans? Or should we all be carrying them with us just in case? less
* I am not referring to it as being the most important thing to them, nor the top priority in their lives, just something they do better than in other parts of the world.

Others SWEAR BY putting jam on one slice of bread, peanut butter on the other slice and then slapping the two together. The goal is the same. It's how you get there that differs. So what's the big deal about METHOD? Which method is better? Why do you think so? Or how you put a roll of toilet paper on the toilet paper roll. Over or under? Why does it matter? Does over or under pull more easily? Is over or under more visually pleasing? less

I wonder if pre-nups create more problems than they prevent? It's just the way the world is. Anticipate the best but always prepare for the worst so you know how it will end before you begin. I suppose that makes sense. SIGH.

If all former Republicans become Independents then trumpicans will be the whole enchilada. Who was quoted in the question? James Comey.

Is this broken deal one broken deal too many and is it gonna be harmful to us and others or useful meaningful worthwhile? How?

Plus which there is ostensibly billions of dollars on the table vis a vis buying stuff and selling stuff and why would we the great and glorious US of A give that up just because of something so dumb as honor/integrity/morality? Plus which the US guy who calls all the shots has personal monetary interest as does his kids. Bigly interests. The bad butcher guy is very rich and spends bigly amounts of money on the butcher-loving guy who calls all the shots and has lavished billions of bucks on the butcher-loving guy and his family for years. Why upset the applecart in favor of doing what's right? I mean c'mon business is business and money is the main thing, the sacred thing. the only thing. So we/they/he will buy whatever lie is necessary to make things okay and then we move forward and pretend it never happened? With all the carnage going... less

The deception is not discovered till its way too late. Some people even die having never realised the lie (eg the Red Barn cult.)
The process of recovery from a mind**** may require professional help, and typically involves intense and disturbing emotion, such as shock, confusion, or fear.Researchers now say that any ordinary person can be conned in this way; one does not have to be especially gullible or naive because the perpetrators are highly skilled at what they do. Have you ever had an experience like this? If so, how did you recover? If you have avoided one or more - how did you recognise the signs? Did you tell the person (or group) what you honestly thought? Did you blow the whistle? less
