You have major, major industries and businesses which prosper during times of crisis and panic, such as a hurricane, which could destroy or greatly damage people’s homes, and it could interrupt the flow of water and electricity. So what happens?
Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that they’re advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media.
The local media, in turn, reports in such a way as to create the panic way far out, which sends people into these stores to fill up with water and to fill up with batteries, and it becomes a never-ending repeated cycle. And the two coexist.... less

So what happened to the right-wing ogre that the MSNBC crowd and its minions (including people right here on Answermug) are so afraid of?

I will feed anyone who needs food. There is no excuse for people to go hungry in the USA or ANYWHERE.The Food Bank is just as guilty. If the food gets stale it gets thrown out and there is always too much food to go around. SO? HELP YOUR FELLOW MAN.

She shouldn't have written it. I think it will cost her more than she will get from it. I could be wrong of course. Would you have written it? Why?

Which means he had better tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth today. Of course we all know that Daddy dearest can pardon him and will if need be. No worries. Right?

We have no idea what he will do on DACA but it is unlikely he will allow it to be rescinded. There goes Immigration Reform. Overhauling the tax system right now seems cruel since people have died and more will die from natural tragedies. How patient are the folks in his base? Does he have a drop-dead date to give them what he promised them before they turn on him?

I think he should not have shared that. But he did. In the 8 years of President Obama's administration I don't recall doing that with either Malia or Sasha, do you? Did Bill Clinton often do it with Chelsea? How about Nixon and his daughters or LBJ and his daughters or Jimmy Carter and his daughter or Harry S. Truman and his daughter? Did none of then want to go with their daddies to listen to speeches on tax reform in various states? less

They say they don't support censorship figuratively but they will literally try to achieve it by silencing you or telling you how to say what you say or not to say it at all. How is that logical, reasonable, sensible, sane?

His base is solid and they're gonna stick with him no matter how LIBERAL he becomes and he could attract some Dems by doing that. Maybe. Republicans and Conservatives won't be too thrilled but so what? Remember they are the ones who elected him. They own him. Whatever iteration of him shows up each day is due to them. Of course his siding with the Dems this one time because he wasn't getting what he wanted from the Republicans may very well be that proverbial one-note Charlie, one-trick pony, one-hit wonder, one-horse town and we may never see it again. On the other hand he might keep doing it to make progress and have things he can point to as having accomplished during his administration. Stay tuned. It could get very interesting! Maybe we the people do have a champion in the White House and he was waiting for the right moment to reveal himself! Wouldn't that be a hoot-and-a-half? :) less

There are some topics they will never discuss because they are fraught with emotion and strong views and that can get very scary hairy. So they STIFLE IT. Is that the life you are living? Being satisfied with just the tip o the iceberg and never going deeper because of fear or lack of interest? What other reasons do some people have for never letting you see their entirety vis a vis what they really think and feel about life? less

The ads were purchased from June 2015 through May 2017. I wonder wonder wonder wonder wonder on whose behalf these fake ads were placed and who bit and who bought the lies? I wonder wonder wonder. Do you too? It was thought to be a BETA test to see which voters were susceptible so they could be 'managed/manipulated' for future use. Were you conned or or you unconnable? less

He pointedly mentioned them by name and pointedly didn't mention Republicans although Mitch McConnell did have to sigh it. So this is a new twist on what he has done in the past, things to come or only a blip in time? Comments?
