Could a world like that function without rigid ideologies controlling everything? What would the upside be and the downside?

For how long and if that is the real him coming out of the shadow of white nationalism what does that do to the part of his base who voted for him strictly because of the racist overtones of his campaign?.

What are YOUR obligations as a citizen of your country and having donaldjohntrump heading it would displease you or please you? WHY?

Never challenge anyone or anything. Go along. Get along. Be nice. Be quiet. Agree. I think that's a very good life for some folks. No one attacks/insults them because they are legion and therefore invisible. They do not stand out. They blend in. They don't call attention to themselves in any way. They stay in one place. These days it is an option if safety is important to you. less

The scriptwriters are third-rate hacks and will win no awards for the sparking dialogue or profound insight. We keep looking at our watches wondering "how much longer"? If you look at this display in that way then it becomes less nightmarish. Not a whole lot less but every little bit helps. Ya know?

Don't we the people have a RIGHT to know what the he** is going on? Why would our employees (all pols) hide what is going on when national security has nothing to do with it? What is it the Republicans don't want us to know so badly they would withhold information from us? Anyway it's out there and we the people can read it. That is our right isn't it? It would have been better had the release been a bipartisan action. It would have made the Republicans on the committee look better showing there had nothing to hide from us. less

Can they just destroy/erase/eliminate whatever they want so the public never knows what, if anything, was discovered? What is it they want to hide from us that would cause to erase their tracks?
The judge said it was on a "flawed legal premise". Does his ruling apply to the entire country? Does one federal judge overturning something automatically cover the entire country?

So, I am desperately searching for WingedWonder. He was unapologetically happily exuberantly beautifully himself, with sprinkles SPARKLES and rainbows and unicorns!He is the most loving person and always had a beautiful thing to say to anyone. HE IS a One in this universe.And I just LOVED HIM. AND I MISS HIM. I chatted with him on I.M. about a year and a week ago, on here. It was so GREAT to catch up with him, again. ~~~We were Number ONE as friends on the site R2T! Besties. Then he came here, and I came to SW and we sort of parted our ways.I have come here to seek him and OMG< he is gone from here. I still have his rose. ~~~I knew his first name and it's kind of unusual, and they deleted ALL of our correspondences on R2T (GRRRRRR!) So, as I can't recall his first name, I can not even to try to find him on FB.If you know his name I would really be grateful for you to connect with me on PM and let me know. He is such a lovely peson. ~~~Thank ... less
She may be a better, more humane alternative, but would she be the choice of a people determined to suppress the real conflicts at the heart of the country?
