The admiration/respect having a lot of it brings to those who have and the contempt lack of brings by those who have of those who haven't.

I can't tell whether it's an information bubble, brought on by super smart computers making suggestions based on what I've watched before or if Spanish-language horror flicks are the in-thing now for some reason.

Why doesn't anyone care? What happened to America that the people are so okey dokey about so much crap?

He is convinced that if he acknowledges Russian meddling he will admit his presidency might well be illigetimate. And of course he will NEVER do that. So every day in every way he becomes a larger bigger fatter laugingstock clown and so do those who continue to believe that he and he alone is the source for ALL TRUTH. Seriously folks. How sad is that?

Intelligence Department heads agree that Russian meddling occurred in 2016, is occurring right now and will ramp up and occur bigly in the November elections. All of them. In concert . Collectively. How does the donjohn prez combat that? Fire all of them. Deny everything. Fire the Senators (whether he legally can or not matters not one whit or one bit to him becuse when has that ever stopped him?) Fire everyone who disagrees with him. If he is left all alone on his own that's fine. He already said his opinion is the only that counts. He already said he is the only one who can fix things. Who needs the others when we have him? Let him come through and do what he said he can do. less

Just copycatters. A gathering of mediocre at best and useless at worst highly paid lowly talented people. A gathering of eagles that soar or vipers that sting? Introducing donjohn and the donjohnners. SIGH.

So they deny a need to do it. They think they have come up with a great reason to ignore it. It doesn't exist. Just like the doofus denies the existence of Russian meddling in the 2016 election because to admit it throws the legitimacy of his "win" into doubt. So he says it never happened. Same thing with deniers. Never happened. Nothing to see here. Move on. Yeah. Right. :( less

I hardly ever notice. What looks fine to me at first he deconstructs. Every time. I think it's better to be ignorant about things. You can enjoy them in your ignorance. You don't know any better! Do any of you experts do the same thing? Hone in immediately on your area of expertise and find flaws in it? SIGH.

Totally!A long-time employee of Company B has had medical problems for 3 years..cancer being the centerpiece of all of them. He is currently recovering from more cancer surgery after which he will get together with his oncologist to see in which direction they will go and what protocol will be used. EXCEPT THATThe employee will no longer be covered by the plan he has so he has to find a new place, hospital, doctor WITHIN THE new plan or he will have to pay out a lot of money to stay outside it. Which he cannot afford. So the surgeons, doctors who have been with him since the beginning will have to be left behind and brand new everything and everyones will replace it. The current plan includes being a patient at the MAYO CLINIC in Phoenix. Top-rated place. The new plan that replaces it does not allow for treatment at the MAYO CLINIC. So he w... less
