They were aided by abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. Underground Railway to fight the grave injustice/inhumanity of slavery. Worked.Makes for an inspiring story doesn't it? How those who didn't approve of what was being done to some of their fellow countrymen banded together to find a way to work against the tyranny and the tyrants.

Does he need window dressing? Why? Seriously folks. Let's let the miracle man show off his stuff. See what he's got? Won't we save hundreds of millions of dollars in wages/insurance costs/benefits? Billions maybe? He doesn't need anyone. Why saddle him with others?

On the other hand we all die sooner or later so speaking out and pointyfingering the clown at the top of one's lungs may simply hasten one's demise. Will it be worth it? Who knows? What could it hurt to test it?

What he likes gets through. What he doesn't doesn't. The penalty for disobeying? Life in prison. Or worse. Some country's leaders have dissidents disappear. Whether they're murdered or spend life in a dungeon won't matter. He who must be loved by all will be in charge. His minions will do his bidding. How dare they not? He has Russia on his side after all. He will also make sure that his businesses get a cut of everything. Why not? Whatever he does will not be challenged. He will own everything and order whatever he wants done and it will be so. Who is going to stop this Juggernaut from gaining everything he wants? What checks and balances will there be with a Republican Majority in the Senate and a Republican majority in the House and a SCOTUS filled with ALT RIGHT WHITE justices? This is what lies ahead.

He who must be loved by all cannot do the job of watching/listening to everyone himself so he will hire his band of spies to watch us and report back to him who is he who must be loved by all. He will rid the country of people who dare to criticize him. He is so thin-skinned and thickheaded he will obsess on it and focus on it and demand it of all his subjects. If he wants to strip a citizen of citizenship for burning a symbol like the American flag and further wants to jail the person so long free speech. Bye bye. Have a good life.

I dunno about you but I think PET is way off his rocker. Way off.
Or did she GO ROGUE? If so what will PET do to her for going against him like that without direction/permission? Disloyalty does not please him. Or so he says.

That's what he said. How he would know I don't know and he provides ZERO PROOF. And PET believes him. Do you? So I guess we will all see the proof of that. Of course all 7 million fraudulent votes were cast for Hillary, right? None were cast for PET. PET says he won the Electoral College votes in a landslide and he also won the popular votes in a landslide too if you deduct the MILLIONS of fraudulent votes. Is this guy for real? Y'all who voted for him sure picked a winner. Thanks a lot. less

Of course, this time we're actually forming a really deep, lasting friendship. At least it feels more like a real friendship than any other woman I've known.Now I'm struggling with how to tell her. How to confess feelings that are probably obvious to anyone who knows us and sees how I interact with her (one of our mutual friends figured out I was smitten when the feelings were still just developing). And of course the eternal question of should I tell her? Take a chance she rejects me and things get weird, or maybe she feels the same and has just been waiting for me to say something. Those romantic comedies are no help. The main character always gets the girl in the end, and I don't know if I am the main character or the loser comic relief guy.Anyone else have similar stories? less
