Later that season I went down with influenza. That was in 1971. Never since have I accepted a flu shot, and never since have I got the flu.But my advice to everyone is definitely get the flu shot when it is available; even if you live in a country where you have to pay for it out of your own pocket, and even if you have to endure injection by the hypodermic syringe method. You can't be too careful, and each year people all over the world die from the flu.Did you get a flu shot this season, and if you did, have you so far got the flu? If so, was it one of the 80%+ strains for which your shot is now known to have been ineffective, or was your flu shot appropriate for stopping the strain you actually ended up getting? less

Will they never learn or are they hell-bent on losing another eminently winnable election?

Lesson learned or is there another lesson happening now we need to pay attention to for future events? After Trump comes what? Who is on deck?

Get it the he** outta the way so they can have their way with everyone about everything without fear of having to pay for it. Justice prevails? Well he** if there is no justice then the EXEC/LEGIS prevails. Isn't that all we really need? Right and wrong are a pain in the a**. Gets in the way of the movers and shakers so eliminate the problem. That what problem-solvers do sometimes instead of solving it. less

It is also very cheap. Many pay attention only to what is convenient for them at the moment and ignore the rest. The GREAT PRETENSE. Typical.

Is it so ingrained that it can never be uningrained? Does repetition carve/etch/eat away a surface so that it is forever changed?

I don't KNOW if that's true but I kinda think it could be. When was the last time you used your imagination/inventiveness/creativity? Is it rare when you do or do you use them often?

It's just more empty rhetoric. Let the Constitutional Crisis begin. Well it already did. It began the day prez took office. He ignored the Emoluments Clause then as he does now. He is above the Constitution, above the law, above whatever he deems to be beneath him and that is everything. It isn't his fault. He is surrounded by protectors, enablers, defenders, supporters, liars so what is he supposed to do? Put BRAKES on himself? Limit himself? Deny himself when everyone around him gives him everything he wants and more? It would be a VERY STUPID person to ignore it and not take advantage of it and not ride that horse to death for all it's worth. Woodenit? less

The FBI says essential information is missing from it and issues a GRAVE warning of the dangers of releasing it. In other words only what services the Nunes/White House manipulators finds its way in and everything else is omitted. In addition to which the GOP powers that be REFUSE to allow the Dems memo on the same subject from being circulated. They not only stack the deck they refuse to let anyone else touch a card. For shame. This is not a game but the idiots who are playing with this fire don't care. They want to WIN! What doth it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Of course those who would do such a thing have no soul so it is moot. Isn't it? less
