Did we get our money's worth on this one? Boy the Trumpster sure knows how to spend other people's money doesn't he? Did we get a good return on our investment? Think this will be added to the Trump playlist for future distractions?

During the 1988 presidential election, Duke’s sole victory was in the New Hampshire vice presidential primary. Running in 11 states on the Populist ticket, he won just shy of 50,000 votes–in a race that saw 91.5 million votes cast. Libertarian candidate Ron Paul got 10 times Duke’s vote tally.(http://all-that-is-interesting.com/famous-kkk-members)Duke recently ran a 2016 campaign for a Senate seat in Louisiana and was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1989-1992. less

Do you accept or not? Why or why not?
Ever thought of wearing unused plastic garbage, trash, bin bag/liners as clothing other than for the rain. Why or why not and if not will you wear it in the near future.Thanks

Having said that I've only *started* my homework as opposed to finishing it :P But my thinking is... it doesn't have to be anything big or important, sometimes just achieving little things can make us feel better... especially when life's tough and life's throwing erm excrement at you left, right and centre... SO have you done or achieved anything, however small, today that you are pleased about or proud of?

Filipino president Manuel Quezon eventually learned that his gardener was a major in the Japanese Army, his masseur a colonel.

Retrospective: How might we have done things differently, to protect the rights of Japanese-American citizens, and still ensure we did not repeat what the Philippines went through?
