I realize that the ONLY significant apology should come from the miscreant, not me but I've done it more than once just to let the harmed person know that someone noticed and cared enough to say something. What about you? Ever do it? less

“Not true,” Obama said. “The reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself, and there is not a situation where the voting rules are transferred over and people start investigating.”
Obama said the sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential.

Among other things, Trump has come out in favor of the government censoring the internet, shuttering houses of worship, depriving religious minorities of due process and equal protection, forcibly confiscating private property, gutting libel laws in order to make it easier to silence journalists, ordering U.S. forces to commit torture and other war crimes, and imposing a nationwide "stop and frisk" scheme in order to "take the gun away." For those of you keeping score at home, that means that Trump—at a minimum—has endorsed government infringements on the principles contained in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment, the 10th Amendment, and the constitutional doctrine of limited and enumerated executive powers.
Now consider Trump's SCOTUS list. The most impressive names on that list are all judges who have distinguished themselves by voting to enforce constitutional a... less

Maybe the lesson you should have learned is that you need to be more careful whom you trust. If you don't learn that lesson you will continue to go through the same old drama never learning what you needed to learn. Right?

"l will tell you that the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee are working very very closely with state governments and secretary of states all over the country to ensure ballot integrity". Well that would be illegal so the RNC called him out on it and threw him under the bus.Last summer Kelly Ann Conway told the Washington Post that the RNC is involved in "ballot integrity". The RNC said she was "mistaken". Did she make it up or believe it?Pence apparently walked it back when he was called out on it. I don't know if Conway admitted she was wrong and walked it back or just ignored it.Whatever they do they cannot unsay what they said. It's right there to be replayed repeatedly. Walking it back or worse disavowing you ever said what you said isn't as heflpul as never saying things that are untrue in the first place would be. Why don't they know that? less

The 10 day circus that Clinton had to survive while the FBI got involved and insinuated that she had done something wrong is over. The use the Trump campaign made of it was all lies. But no one is surprised. That is their strongest suit. They are empowered by the 14 million or so worshippers who not only believe the lies but help create them. I don't know what will become of my country.

The FBI is supposed to be apolitical and not a vehicle used by a political ideology to harm an opponent. Clinton was harmed. There is no doubt about it. She will win anyway but not by the margins she would have. So the nvestigator becomes the investigatee. Who could ask for anything more?

How many Hillary Haters know her personally? One wonders about such things.

It's nice to know that all the lies and attempts by the Hillary haters to stop her from being prez by any means necessary FAILED. The Riggers FAILED. The lies didn't take. We the people are not as stoopid or gullible as Hillary Haters hoped we would be. Their hate is what keeps them alive. Without it they would die. We must pity them for they have nothing to live for apparently but to destroy Hillary Clinton. Sad that . less

They have the voting power to force him down and out. Who could possibly complain about that? His words did him in. He brought it all on himself. No one is to blame but him. Of course he won't accept it. He isn't man enough to accept the responsibility for what he does or says. He isn't man enough to lead anything, especially a country. He isn't man enough .

I don't have current access to download pics I've taken to FB, which I'd like to, but don't have the feature currently on my phone- when I have posted, I get no likes/replies, or anything, I suspect b/c I don't post pics, and for two, many people on my list are ones from HS I barely talked to anyway. All I see is 'look what I did today!!' and that's it- not a true sharing of ideas or feelings mostly. What do you think, do you enjoy it, are you on it, will you remain on it ? less

The new answerbag is a catastrophe, no infrastructure, it works in its baby shoes.... This Whitehair is even older now, but young at heart, like always....
My cat, PK, sits at his food bowl, looks at me, then looks back at his bowl. He does this even if there is food in the bowl. He still wants a few new shakes put in.

But how do they handle living in the real world where they come in contact with smells all the time, whether they're buying laundry detergent or shampoo at the store, or passing another customer that used aftershave. Yet at the workplace you can't dab a small amount of perfume or cologne on or use a certain brand deodorant or fabric softener. Do you think some people have pushed the issue just a little too far. less

They get up at 5:00 am, leave the house at 6:00 and fight traffic until 7:00. Ugh! But It's Taco Tuesday, so we are making our own tacos and watching the election returns live streaming. It would be fun to go to other people's houses, but...oh, well!

His art exposes David's life and personality in how he related to it. It is quite interesting. It's unusual to learn about one kind of artist's thought about art he enjoys by other artists. Sotheby's is an auction house. There are many branches of it throughout the world. I think there is one here in Houston. Anyway, Bowie was quite a collector and his collection is worth seeing. less
