Thin spread out branches that rain, sun and wind goes right through.So I checked King James and found 'Juniper tree' which is even less protection, Junipers typically form a vertical column of thin straight branches with tiny needles on them, You might as well lay down next to a telephone pole.'Gyvel' and Juniper both have long bendy branches and were used for sweeping in medieval days.So: What kind of bush or tree did Elijah go to sleep under? less

But if it hits the bullseye and there is no reasonable way you can refute its implication you attack because there is nothing else you can do. It never fails. It always follows the same pattern. No diversity. No creativity. Always the same. AARRGGHH! :(

No serious and sensible and reasonable and logical and thoughtful and honorable and honest real-life head of state would be that stupidly naive. Right?

That was disappointing to me although that's just padiddily nitpicking. The worldwide marches were pretty amazing. I remember on 9/11 the world embraced us and stayed by our side. Same thing yesterday. The embrace is appreciated and we are grateful for it! I promise you we the people will never forget this wonderful show/display. It was spectacular and you all were stars! :) less

Yesterday, he said he "loves and respects" the intelligence agencies, and his previous statements were a media creation. I suspect those around him are watching for more evidence of his being unhinged. The Secret Service and the White House staff. His erratic behavior is becoming dangerous. Article 2 of the Constitution allows for the removal of the president due to inabilty to discharge his duties. The 25th Amendment further provides the president can be declared to be unable to discharge his duties. He certainly appears to be suffering from cognitive dissonance exhibited by his comments one day and the exact opposite the next day. Sad. less

After all he is being watched/listened to very carefully by everyone in the world. He could use some shaping up, thinning out, working out. He could go from inadequate to eloquent if he would only admit his inadequacies and study real hard and listen real hard and read a lot. He can learn to be better. He can't do it on his own though. He needs professional help.

We know the die-hard believers don't want to believe anything against their beloved fuhrer, I get that.. and I've seen with my eyes the way they take facts and find reasons to excuse Trump's behaviour. I've seen them vilify and act like every accusation against Hilary CLinton was true while totally ignoring the exact same accusations against their beloved...And yet they still don't wake up...My only hope is that they will...but seriously... I wonder...Either way Trump is the most unpopular president you have ever had, and that sentiment is echoed all round the world..I know that MOST Americans are smart and I know that most of the American population didn't vote for the orange clown, but sometimes I despair about the minority that still refuses to ... less
