I think if they did some wmd-like thing in the US, Trump would level Tehran within 24 hours.

Plus size. I can't tell if she's angry.

I read it and regret it.

Yeah, check the weather. if it's going to be hot I'd just go with chinos and a nice button-down shirt. Or it may be your last chance for the Hawaiians. Then put a flower necklace on him and tell him you're glad he got leied at college.

@Doctor-Phibes said in White Smoke Observed…: Let's just hope that they took into account diversity, inclusivity, and above all, equity. They picked a guy from the South Side of Chicago... what more do you want?

Pizzaballa can still win this if Mike Pence has the courage

@Doctor-Phibes said in Elon’s report card: I came to my own conclusions. I didn't read the thread. Wise.

Sounds about right.

Here we say VE Day (Victory Europe) and VJ Day (Victory Japan). The latter being in August. Trump wants to be like Russia and have Victory Day be May 8th. No mention of what if anything he wants to call VJ Day but his tweet doesn’t inspire confidence.

Best comment: “Laura Loomer is now the adult in the room. We're going to get to the point where we're thankful for her pillow talk.”

Big holiday week throughout Russia this week celebrating 9 May, Victory Day. I doubt whether the mayhem will be sustained much past the weekend.

Read the general info about him on Wiki. 60 years old and in a wheelchair. Sad, but apparently, he has no regrets. I imagine his heart is in pretty bad shape also. Seems like a lot of those people who use steroids a lot time end up with heart problems.

Gambling addiction is sad. (Well, any addiction is). I remember reading the story of some pretty famous sports guy (I think a US football player) who was a gambling addict, even while playing, and how it ruined his life. Things like stealing from his parents to get money, etc.

@Horace said in BushObamaTrumpBidenomics: @taiwan_girl said in BushObamaTrumpBidenomics: Not a surprise. Voting seems to be "driven" by emotion rather than looking at facts. I had this discussion with @Larry and @Jolly about the economy. Trump is on a track to prove you wrong about whether the president can personally affect the economy. LOL THis is true. I was actually thinking about this the other day. I guess for every "rule", there is an exception!!

When you’re a ‘futurist’, you’re never wrong, just premature.

@89th said in Reflections on being at Duke Hospital for the first time in 9 years: it shows how humans can live so much longer as compared to 100+ years ago when these modern marvels weren’t in place. Yup, and I am sure that people 100 years or so in the future will look back at medical in 2025 and laugh at how primitive it was.
