In 1770 he also wrote "Thoughts on the cause of the present discontents" from which the following is taken:"When bad men combine, the good must associate else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle"The more things change the more they stay the same. The pendulum goes nowhere. It just swings back and forth gaining no ground nor losing any. Human nature will never change. Centuries ago or today...people are the same all over the world in all times and places. If that isn't depressing I don't know what is. less

It was that the meeting was all about American adoption of Russian children. He dictated it while flying back from the G20 meeting in Germany. That iteration said nothing about the real reason which was to get dirt on Hillary Clinton so it could be used to help Trump. So how is what The Donald did NOT A COVERUP? Anyone know? Leaking continues full force. Nothing changes. More to come. Stay tuned. Put your hip boots on. less

Doofus Donny is desperate in his attempts to refocus everyone away from the massive Russian/Trump collusion scandals and the money-laundering investigations and the obstruction of justice charges and the Mueller inquiries and the inevitable calls for impeachment. He is so desperate he could start a war. I think there is no low so low he would not go. Anything and everything he can do he will do to save himself. Including starting a war just to change the subject. He does it all the time. Changes the subject. Stay tuned. See if our Answermugger friend's prediction comes true. :( less

The prez has suffered some severe putdowns. Slapdowns. Smackdowns. Humiliations. Losses. Embarrassments. I doubt that love has anything to do with it. What does?
What has been your greatest 'awe' experience; what sort of awesome kind of thing would you like to experience? According to a recent New Scientist article.

Put the blame for letting them down squarely where it belongs. What they do is tell you what you want to hear and once you elect them they screw you! They don't want to hear from you. You are no longer useful. I think they should be punished for using/abusing those who vote. FALSE ADVERTISING is illegal if you can prove it. Isn't it? Whatcha think? There is currently no incentive for pols to tell the truth. The get by with a lie repeatedly. So they keep it up. WHAT IF there are consequences for fooling the public? WHAT IF they have to either shape up or ship out... to jail? WHAT IF they are fined thousands of dollars? They're all seedy greedy cheapskates. Hit 'em where it hurts. That will get their attention. less
