Not only does this country continue to carry out capital punishment. Now we're making entertainment out of it. Barbaric.

Trump never tells the truth about the past or the present. Why should anyone believe his predictions for the future??

Hmm. I've tried both. I think PL has to invite me yet again, but please DON'T have Michi send me another invitation just yet! I'm going to set up a new gmail and password, plus re-do my PL handle and its password. Get verified and vetted. Stay tuned! Good weekend!

I can't even get into PL. Does it have a more formal name?

That's the new name! But they told me my account wasn't properly "verified!"

Oh, we mustn't waste our time pursuing fraud and abuse at the big banks, credit card companies, or pay day loan outfits. We must ONLY pursue fraud and abuse among users of ACA health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

Two headlines from The Guardian: "Middle East braces for more violence as Iran claims US is planning to renew bombing" "European spy chiefs warning Moscow is planning more decisive action against NATO." We're sleep-walking our way into the next World War.

I can't be the only American woman who fantasizes about Trump... ...about getting him alone in a locked room, chained to a chair while I hit him with every public insult he's ever hurled at a woman: "Quiet, piggy, you fat, ugly, nasty man! And stupid! Such a low-I.Q. person! So incompetent! etc.

Well, of course. Even though the Constitution specifies "persons," not "citizens." And even though Trump has been told that. wapo.st/4A4JjZq

Trump administration proposes changes to census that could exclude millions
If adopted, the changes could exclude millions of residents from the decennial tally, reshaping congressional representation in the country.

And not a single member of his Cabinet, his staff, or the Congressional GOP will even try to rein him in. What happens if his little "jokes" provoke attacks against Americans abroad? Or riots in offended countries?

Thirteen would be better. One for each of the District Appeals Courts in the U.S. Also, with thirteen you can avoid tie votes.

Medicare for All would NOT abolish private insurance. Private, profit-based insurers could continue to offer supplemental or "concierge" plans for those who could afford them. But NO ONE would be denied, or priced out of, basic, comprehensive care.

Well, their kind of "prayer" doesn't work. And their kind of "religion" IS a fraud. But I wouldn't judge a bed of wildflowers only by the weeds.
