I voted write in for Pete Buttigieg in the PA primary. Straight ticket Democrat in November! Sending money to AOC and Valerie Plame for now. Will contribute more when it gets closer to Election Day and to other candidates. Putting that stimulus check Trump sent me to good use! 🤣🤣

You’re a slow learner! 😂 When I was training new drivers at work (bus driver) and a passenger would get on and do something stupid, I would tell them how I handled this situation for the 42 years I worked there. I just figure everyone is stupid, each in our own way. If you accept that fact, then little a person can do will surprise you! Instead of being upset about the stupid people that annoy you, you learn to appreciate those who overcome their own stupidity and be decent human beings. I always told my trainees that I don’t exclude myself from this view. I was married three times, so I am obviously stupid, for sure. 😄

How come if the reason for having Inspector Generals is to prevent fraud and overt overstepping of authority, the person they are designed to oversee has the ability to get rid of them? What for kind of fucked up system of oversight is that? Leave it to Trump to find every flaw in our system of government that can be exploited to allow him and his gang of criminals unfettered access to a world power.

Is it still a lie if you don't know it isn't true?

Barnie2years comments on May 18, 2020:

As a heavy Facebook sharer, I have from time to time posted memes which were called out (backed with factual, information and resources) as untrue. When this happens, I post an apology, often the correction and after a period of time delete the original post. We all make mistakes and in the speed of life online post memes and others opinions without due process. Unlike Trump, we should not pass blame on to others for our oversight, but correct the mistake as publicly as feasible and Be more cautious in the future to research before sharing. But in agreement with others on here, to actually be termed a lie I think requires knowingly stating an obvious falsehood and defending that in the face of substantial proof to the contrary. Thus why my terminology for this action is now being referred to as a “TRUMPISM”.

Not even in the same stratosphere! Obama is a smart, compassionate, well educated man of honor. Trump is an orange toad in a suit who has no clue what empathy and intellect is.

Barnie2years comments on May 17, 2020:

With Trump constantly trying to come up with a way to stop even more funds (payroll taxes) coming into the program and a Senate majority that would love nothing better than to see it disappear (their retirement paid by us will not suffer), I feel sorry for those nearing retirement in the next twenty years or so. Defined benefit pension plans have all but disappeared, if financial recovery drags on, 401k’s will be hard pressed to make up loses. Hoping you stay healthy enough to work until you’re 80 or living in death camps does not sound at all appealing.

Priceless! LMAO. 💜💜💜 [youtu.be]

PRAYER In your own opinion, why do you think so many christians believe in the power of prayer?

Barnie2years comments on May 16, 2020:

I always tell those who push the issue; prayer and flipping a coin are about equal in their ability to change the final outcome. I often say “best wishes” which is simply the secular way of saying “I’ll pray for you” and again has just as much bearing on results. But it makes believers feel they have some special control over things they don’t, so I suppose it gives them comfort. I take comfort in knowing that I don’t have control and just need to accept life as it comes, do what I can to affect the outcome and deal with the result.

Barnie2years comments on May 15, 2020:

Because Trump, the “stable genius” has a feeling in his little pea sized brain that all of this will just go away on its own. What he is really hoping is that we will be in the middle of a major die off in November that he can use as an excuse to block elections.

Only if he gets convicted of insider trading and he takes a couple Trump supporters that did the same thing with him. And if he can, Trump will pardon him faster than the ink can dry on the arrest form.

He was just after my bum.

With little doubt. At what point do we have to accept a higher death toll To avoid a complete economic collapse. China and Korea are dealing with new cases after having all but stopped it at one point. And thanks to Trump and the American “fuck you, I am a free to do whatever I want!” attitude, even states with lockdowns are only partially successful. If there is any positive, the Red States are the most likely to lift restrictions faster and this virus will take its toll on the Trumplican base in a big way. At least they will die proudly wearing their MAGA hats and upholding Trump’s promise to make us number one at something, even if it is killing themselves.

Barnie2years comments on May 13, 2020:

I also found the Encyclopedia Brittanica description interesting. This part of a long article especially: Within weeks, Tea Party chapters began to appear around the United States, using social media sites such as Facebook to coordinate protest events. They were spurred on by conservative pundits, particularly by Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck. The generally libertarian character of the movement drew disaffected Republicans to the Tea Party banner, and its antigovernment tone resonated with members of the paramilitary militia movement. Obama himself served as a powerful recruiting tool, as the Tea Party ranks were swelled by “Birthers”—individuals who claimed that Obama had been born outside the United States and was thus not eligible to serve as president (despite a statement by the director of the Hawaii State Department of Health attesting that she had seen Obama’s birth certificate and could confirm that he had been born in the state)—as well as by those who considered Obama a socialist and those who believed that Obama, who frequently discussed his Christianity publicly, was secretly a Muslim.

Barnie2years comments on May 13, 2020:

There is a growing movement of honest Republicans that still believe in Constitutional law, fighting to out Trump to save the country. You don’t hear much about them in the media (any media) because they are too preoccupied with Trump’s shenanigans. The crazier Trump gets, hopefully their numbers wii grow enough to make a difference in November.

This is the Trump camp’s new weapon! Sexual accusations; hard to verify, make great headlines, and have no expiration date. And the Démocrates eat their own when it hits the press. It worked so well to get rid of Senator Al Franken and the California Rep Katie Hill, they are using it against any Democrat or even Republicans that don’t follow the Trumplican line.
