He won 224 games and threw two no-hitters, including a perfect game against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium on June 21, 1964.

I didn't understand it then and I still don't get it but if someone asked what they had in common I could go on and on about how they're more alike than different.

But I especially want women's views: s "sexualization" -that is, becoming aware of and affirming one's sexual identity- the same as "objectification" -that is, feeling and presenting oneself as a potential object for others' desire and enjoyment?

If it were not for a Fox News employee who was in the room and witnessed EVERYTHING who backed up the reporter Lying Bodyslam Boy Gianforte would have stayed with that lie. He won the election. Montanans LOVE bullies. He "apologized" for what he did. He did not apologize for the lie. WHY?
He is doing to Muslims/Islam what he would not do to Christians/Christianity. Insulting them. Is HIS religion so hateful that it causes him to demean another? Whatcha think?

I guess Trump will just fire everyone involved including Mueller. What else can the poor guy do? They refuse to roll over for him. He wants the investigations to go away and they are getting larger and bigger and huger and enormouser . Stay tuned. :(

Theoretically I suppose it is possible. But we live in a world of reality/practicality/pragmatism not theory. Empirically speaking how has Trump changed from Campaign Mode Trump to prez? He plans to hold a Rally in Iowa in a few days for goodness sakes! He LOVES to campaign. He hasn't switched gears yet to governing or presidenting. If not now, when? Is it that he won't or that he flat can't? less

He said he could go out in the street and shoot someone and no one would abandon him. This is even better. He will kill thousands, hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of us if he lucks out. SIGH.

As a movie plot it seems quite ridiculous. Who would believe that a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN CITIZEN would do that? Yet that's exactly where we are today courtesy of Jared Kushner. Espionage? Treason? Why would Russia make available to an American citizen sophisticated Russian communication technology? What innocent purpose could there possibly be to justify that. The Russian reported to his boss that he was "taken aback" by the request. Kushner is in a lot of trouble.So far the White House is silent. Trump lawyered up awhile ago. Kushner has lawyered up. Every day something this White House crew causes new news which is unsavory and inexplicable. So far th... less
