But can we expect more smart in future elections or will Putin do his thing to reshape/change/manipulate/reconfigure the outcome? Americans fell for it bigly. Not too smart. :(

Thanks in advance if you have info you're willing to share. ((hugs)) too. It's a little scary.

That is what is happening with Trump et al. I hope the non-Zombies can escape being Zombified. Those who are don't realize it of course and think those who aren't are the problem. I guess that is part of the horror. You don't have a clue what you have become. Maybe kinda like that movie where the guy didn't realize he was dead? How long will this "movie" play out? How will it end" Do the Zombies get back to normal or do they live out their "natural" lives as Zombies? I guess we'll find out. :( less

The more desperate he gets the more outrageous will be his actions. The more intemperate/illogical/nonsensical. While he is prez he can pretty much do whatever he dam* well pleases and no one will stop him. He will just fire anyone who gets in the way. It is so obvious but not to those who worship him. They see no wrongdoing there in anything he does/says. None. Amazing how one person can be viewed so oppositely depending upon how skewed the view. Isn't it? What will he do next as he gets desperater and desperater? Anyone else wonder too? less

Many seem to complain about the political questions, but seldom have questions (like me). I usually just ignore most of the totally nonsense questions, and try to find a middle ground. Something that I feel I can add to. With people like Sapph, Didge, Virginia and many others, I hope no one else leaves. In my opinion, this place is getting to be a ghost town. It's all about diversity. As more people leave, we lose that diversity and are left with not much that interest the larger (shrinking) group. less

But I love the song.

I know people generally cook those things, but can it be eaten raw?What does it taste like and what's the difference if it's cooked or raw? I always thought it was just a really ugly banana, but why do people cook them? Is it like how you wouldn't eat a raw potato? Does it taste gross?

Doing the opposite is nonsense but that is exactly what the GOP done did and is gonna get away with healthcarewise. Good for them, right? Why not? The rich get richer by doing it and after all isn't that the underlying goal of the Trump administration? Why else load up on billionaires in his administration? All wired exactly like him?

Shouldn't someone tell him?
