Or are there times when you think "I shouldda said..." or "I shouldn't have said...."? How often do you rethink your words/deeds and are embarrassed or ashamed or disappointed in yourself?

He said that these groups believe that global warming is proof that Armageddon will soon be upon us because the warming will cause massive droughts, floods, sea level rise, mass migrations, and consequent global strife and global wars.
He said they believe that global warming the means by which God will destroy the life on the planet, and thus prepare the way for the kingdom of God on Earth.I would like to know if the claim he made is true of Armageddon eschalology.If you believe in any of the above three faiths, what is your church's official view of global warming?If so, how does this affect your choices with regard to behaviors that increase emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases?I am not judging here. I only want to find out what the beliefs areand what effects such a belief might or cou... less

Overnights probably have the edge because the inmates are sleeping and in their cells all but thirty minutes of shift. I’m going to try to transfer to night shift soon.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has welcomed me and has treated me well since I’ve been here. Thank you to all of you. You have helped me settle in.

I don't think we have the heart for it or the soul for it or the muscle for it. We may well be a footnote in history after trumpican rule changes the way things are. The people who are willing to do/say anything to win are much better at it than we are. This may be our last hurrah. Our "fade to black". Those born in the aftermath will never know what used to be. Will we survive and stay alive and thrive again? I dunno. Right now it don't look so good. Tomorrow is another day. Let's see "what happens". SIGH. less

Why is super don necessary? Why pretend he's even in the room when the lawyers are formulating all the answers they dare to give Mueller? I mean who's kidding whom? Sheesh.

Limit voting hours to hobble working people, students, the poor who have no transportation. Freeze 53,000 voters( a jacka** in Georgia is doing just that ). Dirty tricks are alive and well and blatently obvious but what the he**! Whose gonna stop 'em in country wehre anything goes ande winning all there is? So far red-state Governors are busting their a **es trying to figure out ways to lessen the number of voters who vote Dem. Every which way but fair is what they do and what they get away with doing. I guess depending on what team you're on you love it or you don't. Those who would lose without cheating are happy that their team has resolute experienced cheaters. Those who don't cheat aren't happy but other than pointing it out and lighting it up and continuing to focus on it what can they do? A government that SHOULD BE ON THE SIDE OF FAIR isn't. If that ain't COLLUSION and CONSPIRACY to stop legitimate citizens from v... less
But how do you know you understand something if you don't understand a word or two of it? Don't you have to know enough to know if what you don't know matters or doesn't?

Well of course he does because he denies his sexually perverted activity even though he admitted to grabbing women by the crotch. His faithful base always believes everything he says no matter how often he contradicts himself..sometimes in the same sentence. It matters not. Whither he goeth they so goeth too. Like little puppies or kittens or ducks following mommy dearest only it's poppy dearest. SIGH. Very cute when it's little critters. Not so cute when it's adult human critters. less

Every single word he has uttered since he began his run for the gold and ginned up the Birther Movement. Was that in 2013? Whatever. So he talks a lot and tweets a lot so there will be trillions of words for the devoted to memorize. Just as they memorize verses in the bible of their religion so too will they memorize the words of their leader. If folks haven't already collected all those precious utterings and want to publish them they better get started. They could publish them in chronological sequence just like the Harry Potter series. From as early as they could get his words. When he called in pretending he was press agent for Donald Trump and breathlessly told the person at the other end of the line how women loved dating him and how brilliant he was and what a success he was. Maybe as far back as what he said when he was 13 and shipped off to Military School. As well as all his report card... less
It clearly does or he would not use the same word would he? No creativity. Riding on the coattails of the creativity of others. Somewhere in all of that there must be a pony.

The very best of the worst is what they aspire to be and so that's what they become. If a buck can be made and it takes the sacrifice of others' lives so be it. SIGH. Welcome to today. Will tomorrow be the same, worse, better? Place yer bets.
