He has all the qualifications for which Trump looks plus his fealty to Trump.

I once bought a paperback book from Goodwill and there were stains on the pages that I couldn't identify and I've never bought a used book again.  I have enough of my own crap - I don't need to buy anyone else's.

I have a driveway and I don't think I would mind if someone was only using it to make a u-turn.  I wouldn't want them to sit in the driveway or any length of time.

I can tell crows and mourning doves by their calls.  Both are irritating as all get-out.  I can also tell an owl from its call.

You mean we have enough Trump sycophants to win.

They're handing out Sharpies I presume.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman at the conclusion of a hearing in Greenbelt said Trump’s order “runs counter to our nation’s 250-year history of citizenship by birth” and likely violates an 1898 Supreme Court decision on the issue. 

“The United States Supreme Court has resoundingly rejected the president’s interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment,” Boardman said. “In fact, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation. This court will not be the first.”

Major props for the use of the Yiddish word, "kvetching."

Key words - 'AT THE MOMENT."

It starts with USAID and you think it will stop there?  If you do, that's pretty naive thinking.  They have access to more than just USAID or are you unaware of that?  

I don't know if he's planning on buying land in CA, but during his meeting yesterday with Netanyahu, he proposed taking over Gaza.  So, Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal and now Gaza.  What a real estate portfolio we will have.

Exactly and as I just replied to my2cents, bad enough I have to worry about foreign government hackers, now I have to worry about my own government and they don't even have to hack - they have the keys to the kingdom.

"On Tuesday, Secretary of State Rubio and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced they’d reached an agreement to “outsource” U.S. prisoners to El Salvador’s mega-prison.
“We can send them, and he will put them in his jails,” Rubio said in regard to foreign nationals detained for violating U.S. immigration laws. “And he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States, even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents.” The agreement was initially supposed to cover alleged gang members.

You can expect hefty price increases for anything that is grown in California.  

That's exactly what I am afraid will happen.  

You don't know what he's looking at or what he will wind up using our personal information for in the future.  If a Democrat did this, you'd be up in arms, but because it's Trusk doing it, it's perfectly fine.  What hypocrisy.   

At the time he applied for American citizenship, he was a CANADIAN citizen, i.e., a FOREIGNER and presumably took some Canadian oath of allegiance.

Musk was a citizen of South Africa (a foreigner) who came to the U.S. and, after going through the naturalization process, became a U.S. citizen.  As such, he cannot hold the office of President of the United States, but he is acting as though he has been elected to that office.  less

I'm sure there was more.  We don't need no First Amendment.

I can't believe that no one is doing anything to stop what is going on here.  

I'll pass, thanks.

Technically, I think that would be correct.  However, although I'm not a Constitutional scholar, I don't believe the president could invade Greenland without authority of Congress. 

I wouldn't either and not just because of the exercising.  I would find it difficult having no time to myself and always having others around me.  I prize my aloe  alone time.

I think it would be difficult to exercise in a weightless environment as there would be no resistance.  I can imagine that atrophy would be a big result.

I was just looking trough Yahoo articles and came across this one of Suni Williams about their predicament.https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/astronaut-whose-return-earth-keeps-222819687.html 

Can you imagine what it must be like to think you're going into space for a couple of weeks and you wind up there for months and months?  

I think it might hold up because of the timer period in which it takes place.  Comedies from a time prior to everyone getting offended by everything everyone says (think Blazing Saddles) wouldn't make it. 

Really, Jane.  Do you think they feel the need to do what they ask of everyone else?

No, I have not.

I respect what I see with my own eyes and what I saw was the Nazi salute - not once, but twice.

Surprisingly, you aren't the only one with an opinion.

My mistake.  I thought I was posting it to Danillo.

I shall defer to my new good friend Jane.

It's been a long time since I've had any Jewish appetizings.

I prefer herring in cream sauce.  

Until recently, I've never lived anywhere other than New York City.

DID I SAY THAT GAZA WAS A SEPARATE COUNTRY?   DID I?????  I posted a map.  STOP ARGUING ALREADY.  

You are just parroting what Leavitt said.  Who the heck is she?  Where's the proof that all that money went to Gaza for condoms?  No proof at all.

Perhaps you didn't understand that the money was not just for Gaza.  I even bolded the part that it was worldwide.  I guess that means nothing to you.

In this case, the ADL was wrong.

Austria and it's forbidden for good reason, namely because of the lessons that the two countries and my homeland have learnt from history.If you don't believe that, come to Germany, make the gesture somewhere, and see what happens to you.  less
