@Fernapple Drink got ahold of me and I'm an alcoholic. Today is different because I see no point in being drunk. If i wanna get drunk I can usually stop and eat after 3 drinks or less and be done for that day or night. I always have beer and whiskey around. Right now I have 2 beers and a shot of whiskey and will not drink today. I also did not drink last night either. I saw no reason to drink.

Nothing highlights this more than hitchhiking. The fact is that it has never been safer to hitchhike than today. You can photograph the licence plate and driver then send it to a 3rd party. Similarly, the driver can ask for ID and do the same. Yet you seldom see a hitchhiker (at least in the UK) ...

DenoPenno replies on Nov 7, 2022:

The really unsafe part is to let anyone photograph your ID. Before long they are you and have what you have. You have to fight that in court and it might include things they bought as you and later refused to pay for, or a loan they took out. Ignorant assed authorities want you to pay for this. I always thought that the fake you would not have enough residence time to be considered as you. After all, you can't be in two places at once. Presto! Lifelock (and others) are born.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 6, 2022:

I'm in mid Missouri in a community of about 1200 people. No visible homeless people here, nor are they to be found in towns close by. Did someone kill them off or did the dope play out? One thing that got rid of the homeless is people burning their abandoned properties for the insurance money and claim the homeless did it making meth. Along this same route is to evict the homeless from cheap historical hotels and do a complete makeover of that historical building. Now it is no longer historical and those near homeless cannot afford it. Where did they go?

@puff I do see some of this. BTW, Pence had no power to not accept the votes. He is there to verify the decision only. Many totally forget this. As for those you are "lumping" with Trump, I do not worry about Nancy or Hillary. One is not president and the other never will be. We will all be better off when Trump is 6 feet under and for "who is at fault" it depends heavily on the situation. Trump has no "pure logic" and is a grifter and a conman. If the Pentagon controls everything keep in mind that my view of a Patriot is someone who has served in our military, not a narcissist on a clown car with his friends. As a Progressive I want what is best for us all and I'm not for USA style politics explaining everything in the world because frankly, it does not.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 3, 2022:

When people impersonate you in any way 2 things happen. 1. When they pretend to be you they can get away with saying many different things. 2. When they pretend to be you they are very close to assuming your actual identity. If any of this goes unchecked for a period of time you may find yourself owing money in other states and the one getting away with this is paying nothing because they say you are the real scammer. They then have the house and car that you are made to pay for.

Fox News is playing this down so as to not make it political but how else would you view a man coming into your house with a hammer in his hand and asking "where is Nancy?" Seeing that she is gone he attacks her husband with the hammer. Most likely he was not a Democrat. Shame on you Fox News.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 31, 2022:

@Lorajay Many strange rumors going on right now about this including one from Elon Musk. He took down his post, then put it back up again. Most say the entire story was misleading and they make up bullshit about it like Musk did. Fox simply claimed they had no motive for any of this. If you present the motive it does not look good for the GOP. Now the attacker confesses the whole thing and tells what he was going to do and what he came there for. Charges against him could hold up to 40 years plus in jail time if convicted. Yes, he says, he was looking for Nancy. Looks like "something just is not right about this story" just flew out the window.

@CourtJester Both men with hammers did sound suspicious to me but this guy seems like some kinda nut job. In his underwear, huh. Now let's look at the suspicious set up where Nancy tells her husband that he can take these hammer blows for political reasons. He won't be killed or anything but he will go to the hospital. Are we thinking that something like this went on here? Nancy can own the GOP close to election time and get sympathy for her DUI hubby. Is this something like we are thinking might have happened? Just asking.
