He said "it's just an internet social site. It isn't life. You can't get hurt by words or bad behavior or rudeness or someone who lies."Know what? He is correct.How often do you get your pants in knot when you are chatting with names on a screen whom you have never met and never will meet? Why?
The home state of the person who lost is New York. New York did not vote for the person who lost. New York voted for the person who won.Try to spin that.

There is great relief and a feeling that Democracy is stronger today than it was several days ago and HAS BEEN SAVED. He said the feeling was that 4 more years of the same as the last 4 years would have done GRAVE damage.What was is known. What will be isn't. But the feeling is strong that the future will do better by us than the immediate past. Of course we can't KNOW that until we live it. But feeling better is better than feeling worse.The world is feeling better. less

A non-American suggested she choose Tammy Duckworth. A fine candidate I think. There are many possibilities. That's the best thing. It is a VERY DEEP BENCH now and will be even deeper then.

I thought she was gone and lost forever but she's back.I think she was just hiding deep within ready to emerge when I was ready to be her again. It's nice to find most of myself intact.

The world moves on. The segment stays sitll. What will happen? I don't know but it matters so little I cannot worry about it. What mattered bigly worked out fine. I am happy with that. I am not greedy. I will be glad to settle for that.

It wasn't for any purpose other than that.An outing like having a picnic or attending a sporting event.To have it end is not going to happen if it is up to them. Now they chant and cheer and holler about fraud and rigged and stolen.Anything to stay together in bondage for a cause so they feel they BELONG to something bigger than they are and they don't have to go home and be all alone on their own without that support of a crowd on which they count and have depended for 4 years. Giving that up isn't easy so they won't.Perhaps it is as simple as that. The point is staying together being together doing together. What for doesn't matter. What for isn't the draw..Anything to escape the solitude. Anything to belong to something no matter what. Anything is better than nothing which is what they are left with if they disband and move on. They are help... less
Chanting "stop the steal" and "this is isn't over" and "lock him up".Where is the evidence the proof the truth the facts?Or is it rather that this is what they enjoy doing?

Do you take everything with the same grain of salt as you tke everything else? If so is that a learned talent or must one have had to be born with it? Which brings up another question.

There is no point in rehashing the past. It is done and cannot be changed. The future holds many possibilities. If you keep looking back you will miss all those opportunities to do better be better. I think.

Not enough to change the winner and the one who didn't win.Now we extrapolate from those facts to date using a well-known phraseA house divided against itself cannot stand.Who said that?Check out MATTHEW 12:22-28Jesus is speaking"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand"We are divided. But we are not doomed to fall apart and cease to exist. We have the option of not staying so divided. We have the option, choice, free will of coming together ENOUGH to keep standing. We are never going to agree on everything. The good news is...WE DON'T HAVE TO. We just have to agree enough on the important things. We did before. We can do it again if only we will.... less

His message was simple and consistent. He did not say one thing and mean something else. He did not try to bamboozle. He was of the people by the people for the people though touched by the hand of GOD.He did not promulgate hate nor try to destroy undermine sabotage harm others. He did NOT collude plot conspire with anyone for anything at any time for his own aggrandizement.WWJD? What would Jesus do? What shady despot dictator cruel inhuman humans do? Or the opposite? less

I don't what the anwer to the question is. I couldn't find it.In the 18th century at the London Stock Exchange LAME DUCK referred to a stockbroker who defaulted on his debts.Also a lame duck is referring to a duck who cannot keep up with his flock making it a target for predators.Mostly today a lame duck refers to an outgoing politician. Donald Duck. Lame Duck. Pass the buck. Are you stuck? Yuck yuck yuck. less
