The only person fit for that job is a man who needs a waiver from Congress to be allowed to take the job. That is very hard to believe. Only one person in the whole entire spectrum of persons? That one? Isn't that scary if true?

General Matthis retired May 2013. A waiver was signed before for General George Marshall. Many decades ago.

I remember Frank Sinatra was often a butt of Rickles' barbs and he apparently loved the guy. You'd see Sinatra laughing his head off in the audience along with other celebrities while he was being slammed by Rickles. Why? Do some folks enjoy being made to look foolish? I think being able to laugh at yourself is a very good thing. But being attacked and insulted by someone to entertain others and enjoying being the target? That I don't get. Do you? less
Populism? What a crock. Not a populist anywhere. Just sameoldsameoldsameold whatnots. Another scam. Another con. Makes folks love PET even more. Why that is I cannot guess.

Die quietly out of sight so PET and his pals don't get embarrassed? We need guidelines for how we are expected to behave. When you're scared to death it's hard to think clearly. Having a set of instructions is helpful. I know. PET will be "looking into that". Right?

If he/she/they weren't around everything would be sunshiny and ever so pretty. Is that true for you?

My mother has been manic, belittling, violent, all my life- I have anxiety and PTSD symptoms from her aggression/abuse, the things she has said is almost borderline evil to do or say to your own flesh and blood. My dad is an alcoholic and bipolar and will physically come at me/hit me, even as an adult, if I even defend myself to her awful words or accusations. I don't know whether to continue to not say anything to them or even go completely silent; even answering any of their questions makes me feel low or like I have no self esteem even more.. I'm trying to get enough funds to move out but its been VERY hard when I haven't even thought myself human, confident or capable (even though I'm prob. the most responsible adult I know.. ) Would you go silent w/them until you can get out, or would you ever call authorities if they came at you again? less
