If they did there would be NO DAYLIGHT between the person getting the most popular votes and the person getting the most Electoral College votes. But there is. Has been in conflict 5 times. This time is by far the most egregious and flagrant example of this.

He never will accept blame for anything but he will take all the credit he can grab for things he never did that others do. You don't expect him to change do you? He was a master whiny complainer throughout the campaign and was elected prez for it. Why should he change? You're gonna get a lot more of the same. Aren't y'all thrilled to pieces?

Will pre-existing conditions kick back in again as an exclusionary item? Will kids be kicked off their parents plans at a younger age again? Who is doing the planning? Who is on top of the timing? Whose job is it to see that everything goes flawlessly? PET is the guy who will be sitting at the desk where the buck stops so I guess it's all on him.

They have no clue they are being played and just puppets whose strings are being pulled by folks much smarter than they are or ever will be.

I wonder why I remember what I do and forget what I do? Do you wonder about that too?
You'd think what you learn when older you would remember better, not forget. Things you learn when very young was so long ago why would you remember them?

Makes no sense to me but he was a very popular PUTDOWN guy. Do you like to be putdown/insulted/condescended to/demeaned? Would you pay money for it? Why?

You bet on one person because in your opinion that person will do a better job than the alternative. It is guesswork. Opining. Contemplating. Only after the fact will we KNOW if PET was made of the right stuff and did the right things or if he was a colossal and disastrous choice. No crystal balls. No fortune tellers. No nuthin'. So I say good luck to everyone including PET. We all need it. He needs it the most.

I am a daydream believer, I love music and especially lyrics. I believe that the world and essentially the people in it are basically good and well meaning, well barring a few notable exceptions and extremists. I believe in trusting and assuming everyone is good and kind - until and unless they prove otherwise. I believe in love, (a lovely old Don Williams song that!) I believe in caring I believe in kindness.. I am light and fluffy and believe it or not very humourous.. But at the same time.. I loathe and detest Trump..the man is pure vileness on legs.. No one ever asked me to despise him. . no one influenced me.. I base it purely on how the man acts.... and pretty much so does everyone I've talked to in my sphere of contacts/work. We don't have to be told he's bad.. he shows us this every time he opens his mouth.. What's hard to understand is how so many people manage... less

I was thinking, so what is it about right-wing extremists and extremists in general I don't like.. and I hit on a simple explanation I thought I would share.. The thing about extremists that worries me is.... that they are extremist! It's that their views are *extreme* and usually violently so. Their views are, by definition, NOT normal, they are not part of the norm and how normal people think. There may be a fair few of them, and their numbers may be increasing, but they are NOT the majority. However, the DO seek to influence the majority and they do seek to convert people to their way of thinking..and as that thinking is often very racist and violent - AND they seek to *punish* those who disagree with them or who are *different* to their ideal - that has to be a thing we feel is either worrying or even... less

I had zillions of notifications yesterday but today when I clicked on "see all notifications" there are only 5. The rest are gone. So if I don't get back to you that may be why. I can keep asking questions but my ability to respond is currently severely limited. AARRGGHH! Anyway Happy Sunday to all of you! :)

How harmful is it for the children who see how good-looking their parents are and how plain they are? Do people ever think about those consequences? How do you emphasize the importance of character when the focus is on the wrapping/packaging?

Now it's something else---sirens...Then I heard my neighbors talking outside my window and it's after midnight! We are also dog-sitting for other friends, while they go out of town. I hear the dog's nails on the wooded floors, as he walks by my room. No one is getting any sleep, that's for sure.

I've been sick for 4 days, and have cabin fever. I am about to get well though. There is hope. BTW, I never had turkey.
