Yep-I got the dates wrong - thanks for the correction about Crimea. Note however that Trump borrowed from Russia-maybe not personally from Putin but certainly from Putin allies. Trump lacks the cash to pay it back so he is at a certain level under the control of the Putin oligarchs. One argues with them at great personal peril. Note the demise of 47 YO Navalney. Dennis- not all left wingers and not all right wingers are lying and corrupt. But enough are on each side to keep us onlookers searching hard for the t***h. However one wants to analyze it. Trump is a pathological narcissist and not one that I think is qualified to be the Commander in Chief of the USA..

Guess you forgot that the Hiliary thing was not true and in fact Putin support Trump (still does). Hillary is out of the loop now so who cares about her. Putin took over Crimea-did Trump complain about this- of course NOT since he is in dept to Putin. Sure the Ukraine issue is a mess but the timing is irrelevant. I urge you to think mostly about domestic policy which had been a disaster under Trump. Biden has had to spend much of his Presidency cleaning up the mess that DJT left our country in. And you want that repeated????

I hope those of you who love Trump understand that his support for Putin comes from the billions Putin has lent Trump when all conventional sources refused to deal with Trump given his lying about his assets and crooked dealings with contractors. His anti-NATO stance is in support of Putin- as Putin has a hold over him for those loans. I remember when the GOP used to be opposed to Russia and the old USSR. Now that Trump owns the GOP, I guess Putin would be an official ally were Trump to win the office again. I don't understand those who applaud his "accomplishments" when he was President. Only one piece of legislation of importance passed - the bill to reward the wealthy with tax cuts and raise the national debt several $trillions. He made a mess of the border (look it up), handled the p******c terribly causing an extra 200,000 lives, caused massive unemployment with tarrif and other policies; and don't forget he was the Commander in Chief of the subversive attack on the US Capitol. Note that the economy is nicely improving; inflation is steadily diminishing; unemployment is at a record low; investment in US industries finally has happend with Biden. Do we want DJT back to reverse all of this. I understand that the white supremicists and bigots love fellow traveler Trump, but what about the rest of you? What do you see in this failed human being. ??

Should we use new or used kitty litter??

In case you forgot; F***i is retired. Rand Paul has been spouting this fiction about F***i for the past 3+ years. It is totally false. BTW he was the darling of the Libertarians until he decided to drop their agenda. Libertarians for instance feel a******n is an individual choice-Paul now is against it. He has abandoned many other libertarian principles. Why? Well unlike his father, he really doesn't have strong beliefs and will adopt any position that he thinks will please the Republican base. This is called "weathervane politics" and indicates a lack of serious conviction on the part of Paul ( and some others I could name ).

What has happened to Boeing is upper management which used to be engineers and scientists, has been taken over by MBA's. These guys know nothing of science and technology; are money obsessed; and have rattled the culture of excellence that Boeing used to have. It is a tragedy and they have diminished the former excellence of the company. MBA's are expert at ruining companies (Boeing is not the first) as they think they know everything but in fact are just glorified accountants with no other skills.They should all be fired (from all companies). Think of who started most of the major companies in this country - never an MBA - and who runs them well- never an MBA !!!!!

Regarding the "talk with Jesus" phone call. My understanding is that Jesus only speaks to tele-evangelists.

Hopefully you had stage one (bladder surface only and no muscle invasion). If muscle invaded than you would need to have your bladder replaced and your prostate removed to prevent tumor recurrence in the urethra The bladder can be reconstructed with a segment of the small intestine. Hopefully you didn't need this more extensive treatment as a dear friend of mine did require that (also chemotherapy).

Which moron posted about "a******n after birth"? A******n only takes place from a pre-fetus or a fetus in the womb! Note also that a******ns after about 24 weeks are only the painful decision of avoiding the unfortunate woman having the agony of carrying a defective fetus that is either dead already or destined to die in the first 24 hours (such as those fetuses without a brain that die in 24 hours after delivery). Is it moral to require a woman with such a fetus to carry this for months knowing the end is death of such a defective fetus?? Would you require your woman to carry such a defect to term?

Over 80% of fertilized eggs pass spontaneously. Since you consider a fertilized egg with several cells division having taken place prior to.implantation- to be life which is destroyed if the egg doesn't survive-then tell us about the "a******nist" responsible for these 80% of fertilized eggs to pass and never achieve life?

Don't forget that Hyde at the time of his proposal had to break off time with his mistress to come in to Congress to v**e for banning a******ns. His mistress did however need an a******n which he was happy to pay for! Any thoughts on that???

Journalism is under attack mostly from the far right who don't want their activities and motives displayed for the public. Good journalism is necessary for the survival of our democracy-the autocrats attack journalism routinely while they spread lies and conspiracy theories. It is sad to see so many papers disappearing due to lack of revenues and worse that the public who needs this source of information cannot get it from that formerly useful source. It is sad to see this viral resource under attack.

Doctors and hospitals are being taken over by venture capitalists (vulture capitalists) only interested in the bottom line so patients are allotted 15 minutes, docs are penalized for exceeding this; charges are added on in ways that make no sense except to add profits;// Medicine did better when docs were in charge-now it is MBA graduates who know nothing about medicine but lots about accounting and money. There ought to be a law against this.

When I sharpen/clean infrequently used tools like a hatchet or garden implement, I apply clear nail polish on the newly polished metal which prevents rust in storage.

To me rap is bad poetry set to worse music. Nothing to recommend it except it is a means of expression for a minority group.
