The answer to that shows who can set the attire policy.

He will bring this country to the same ruin that his university, airlines, vodka, suits, and various other enterprises have come to.

Truth..........

DenoPenno comments on Jan 4, 2019:

That is correct. They call them "entitlements" to continue justification of all the money taken from the system that politicians never plan on paying back. It should be illegal. The money is actually an insurance program imposed upon us at a federal level. The word "entitlement" comes back into play once a person becomes old enough to draw this money and it is said that "you paid it in so you are entitled" to receive the money.

This makes no sense to me. It happens but makes no sense. I'm on another site where people chat and want to meet but never meet. One person finally got brave enough to give me the name of her town. What's that about. People talk but will not even meet you in public on neutral ground. Maybe you should drive 100 miles and meet them at the local eatery. Don't bother. You will be stood up. The whole idea of this crap is worse than texting. I got back on one of these sites this morning after a week and a woman there immediately said she had missed me. She wanted to go on and on like texting. I told her I had to get ready for work and I left. Things like this are real and they do happen. Why?

Take away a sky daddy from it all and this deed is about perfect.

He said I could fact check it. I had to agree with this man. It is a lie. With a GOP majority at the time of the pay raise there are no Dems to upset the outcome. It's only Trump and his GOP and I heard Trump speak of the wonderful pay raise he got for our military while he was in Iraq. He told them he got them all 10 percent.** Yes, it is a lie. It is another Trump lie.**If we call these things out long enough maybe others will wake up and see that they have been conned.

People tell me I have to measure food and weigh things, take insulin to be sure, and to prick my finger taking a daily reading, etc. I do none of that and my doctor has not told me to do it. Then I hear how my condition could "turn into type 1" but I hear this from other idiots. I don't live in fear. I simply take the med.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 1, 2019:

White people in general only pay lip service to racism. Many are racists unawares. When I was married to a woman of color a man I know always asked me how she was doing. He seemed sincere and I knew him most of my life, but his sympathies always bordered on the KKK. When my 12 year marriage ended a man at my work told me repeatedly that now "I had to hate my ex wife." Why? The real reason is that he is another of these white racists. People sing songs like "The South Is Gonna Rise Again" and they want to believe it and fly a Confederate flag. Do they really know what they are doing and supporting? Now let's get into women, sexual harassment and rape. Not believing their claims is also racism whether or not other skin colors are involved. White women are not believed because men are superior. This gets worse if the claimant is a woman of color. This is all racism folks.
