DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

I agree with you but the problem is that the GOP refuses to deal with this or to even face it. The absolute latest is that there is no collusion, and even if there was, there is just nothing anyone can do about it. Apparently there is no prosecution for the president as he is just untouchable, so Mueller had better just give up and go away. Let's get serious here people. This special part of out government was added just to be able to deal with things like this. Trying to call it "illegal" now is really dumb. Some of it worked in the past but they want to play games and say it doesn't work today and will not work with Trump. Why? So many of us want to know why. Is it because he will refuse to leave?

DenoPenno comments on May 17, 2018:

He tells you in the "Art of the Deal" that he is a liar. He said that if you say something 3 or 4 times people start believing it. That's what it is all about with Trump. It's not about truth. It's all about you believing it.

People can site "brain differences" all they want to. My take on the differences between the sexes comes from things like 2 types of dolls as children -- i. e. Barbie and G. I. Joe, and other such differences taught to children early on. If G. I. Joe had makeup you would find a lot more men today wanting to wear makeup. Things like this change as the years go by but similar concepts are responsible for lots of differences between the 2 sexes.

It's so odd that the Trump supporters pass off the US Embassy in Jerusalem as something that no other president would bring himself to do, so they think Trump is brave. I see the whole mess differently. Americans wanted Israel to become a nation because of Christianity and what their fairy storybook said about Israel. To me it was that simple regardless of long drawn out historical blabbing. Now Arabs and the Palestinians could be a nation also if the proved they "were good boys" and that they deserved it. How could Jerusalem be a capitol? Things in that city are sacred to both sides. How could anyone share? Trump started a hornet's nest worse than before. Israel might be happy but the Middle East is now going to see more bloodshed and America has a few more enemies. Leave it to Dolt45.

Exactly correct. On the news this morning ABC 30 had Pence report that Melania was operated on for a benign kidney condtion and was doing fine. Trump was apparently so outraged with the media that he had his Veep make the announcement. Where was this wonderful husband, Donald Trump? Why did his Christian VP who cannot even be alone with other women make the announcement that only the president should make? These bastards are totally astounding!

We can talk about it until we are in the face, it's not going to change anyg.

DenoPenno comments on May 15, 2018:

Shut this POS down is correct. The problem is that the Dems cannot get it together. It's almost the same problem they had when Hillary was running for president. I would vote for Bernie but is he going to run? Even so, Trump would smear him with socialism, communism, and god knows what. The white supremacist crowd will claim they are the true patriots and we end up with Trumpsky again. 2020 will be much like 2018. The best we can hope for is a better balance of power so we at least have a voice and possibly can change some of this totally ignorant legislation. Then we could wait on an act of an imaginary being if you like.

What the fuck kind of doublek insanity is this?

DenoPenno comments on May 15, 2018:

This tweet came out after the WH leak saying John McCain's opinion did not matter because he would be dying soon. There is still no apology for that remark and you can see by this bigly tweet that Trump went off the deep end, as usual. ABC news 30 this morning (a Sinclair Group station) simply said that Trump tweeted "media leakers, traitors, and cowards were trying to make them look bad and they would find out who they are." Notice the merger and clean up of the tweet. Channel 30 then said that the WH leaker had been dealt with but gave no specific details. There is still no apology for statements about John McCain and probably never will be.

Trump Pulled Out?

DenoPenno comments on May 14, 2018:

That is exactly why he pulled out of the Iran deal and almost anybody following knows this. I'm just as sure that many people in the know made money in oil because of this also, and Trump may have been one of them. I'm starting to think I can watch these things closely and maybe make some money myself. We do not have a president. We have a stock market manipulator.

He's not who the majority of us want to be president.

DenoPenno comments on May 14, 2018:

One big problem here is the people that continue to make excuses for Trump. Just this morning on another site a man told me that Trump is really not racist, white supremacist, misogynistic, or any other bad thing you have heard about him at all. It's just that he uses these things (including making fun of a crippled reporter) just to get to you. What? Just to get to you! OK. Now tell me that the mass shooter is not a murderer. That's the mentality of idiots who keep silently making excuses for and therefore supporting this Orange Asshat. Goodbye, Trump. The sooner the better and by any means necessary.

Until there is a balance of power we will all have to suffer this moron just as we are doing now. Much of this is because the GOP doesn't want to call him on issues, ignorant statements, and false logic. Once we have a balance of power it will slowly change. One example will be that Trump cannot call "fake news" on our trusted media of many years. He might continue to do so but nobody will believe him.

Is it condescending that people have no interest in you because you have no college education? These days people have no interest in you unless you fit their needs at that very moment. The result (at least to me) is that we are creating many new liars today. Welcome to reality. I work with a man that is not on Facebook. Yet, he is on Facebook and the account is active. This facade can be carried right on into our Trump era government if you follow it.

DenoPenno comments on May 12, 2018:

I saw that video and the woman has to have problems and be disturbed. People disagreed with her during the call but she was insistent. At the end when the cops were there and had her off to the side she appeared to be coming apart as the video ended. It was like "this didn't go my way like I wanted it to so now I'm gonna cry." This is racism, plain and simple. My take on it all is that people had a "secret fear" of Obama. That in itself was (and is) racism. With 8 years of Obama many poor whites felt disenfranchised in some way. Trump comes along and makes these poor whites feel good again and they are better than any black person. White supremacists and racists are at the bottom of his support base. In the case of this white woman she feels insecure so she makes the 911 call about a black family grilling with a gas grill in the park. Nobody bought her nonsense but they had to investigate. Now I'm back to the end of the video when the cops had her pulled to the side and she starts to come apart. "This didn't go my way like I wanted it to so now I'm gonna cry." Oh, the poor baby! Shut her up or lock her up.

The Buybull calls this place "heaven" and it is god's country. Is the place keeping people in or people out? It's hard to tell. We don't get much more than this out of the Buybull.

It would not be so bad if he didn't tweet and talk about himself constantly, lying the entire way, and wanting America and the world to think he is the neatest thing since sliced bread. Tell the truth and give it a rest for god's sake. Actually do something for the American people and you might win them over. Will this happen? Probably not. Now they will concentrate on the economy to create support for him and the GOP in 2018 elections. None of this tells any truth about your healthcare, gas prices, being robbed blind, or anything else that might be helping the middle class. People will buy it coz some in Kentucky still think he is bring back coal mining. That will never happen. A 12 year old knows it will never happen unless he is an exceptionally stupid kid.

(2) Would the bizarre situation they lived under cause her to exaggerate or make things up? (3) Would anything similar to this have even helped cause the discovery of the Frank family? Most likely we will never know. Therefore her final diary entry remains a mystery.

Our Kleptocracy government is not through yet and most people continue to drink the kool aid. My insurance lady told me this morning that our area being hit with almost a 40 cent per gallon gas price increase really meant nothing. She says they raised prices because "it's summertime." That type of increase is never this much. I told her the increase is a result of nixing the Iran nuclear deal. All the media says it but she doesn't think so. She further tells me that I'm wrong about Orange Bozo. The media has lied to use now for a very, very long time so she has no concern that Bozo wants to pull the licenses of NBC, ABC, and CNN etc. for being "fake news." The fact remains that she cannot tell you just where Orange Bozo, the Mango Mussolini, gets his news and why Trump news is always the correct news. I know why. Her and her husband are among those who have drank the Trump kool aid. Donnie can do no wrong. He is not committing treason. He is trying to save us with his whole new swamp.

At least, she does when we talk. Then she later thinks about it and claims again that everyone knows there is a god.

Should we try to shame God believers into changing their outdated belief system or patiently wait ...

DenoPenno comments on May 8, 2018:

We may have no right to shame them but they think their book gives them a divine duty to convert us. This is why most of them piss me off and I try to make them feel uncomfortable as much as I can. They think I'm just an angry atheist. What can I say? Jesus never did bring me that pony.

My children's birth certificate shows no religious affiliations.

DenoPenno comments on May 8, 2018:

Just because you did no indoctrination in the home doesn't mean that none has occured. If your youngest has a mental illness everyone will be telling him things but his intelligence shows through when he taught himself Hebrew. Remember that being religious does not make you dumb, but religion is taught. It's very possible that you have kids saying "Oh, wow! Mom and dad never taught us this." As for the oldest child now being a born again Baptist, my take on it is that they want to spend their life with this Baptist person. That might be more important to them than any invisible gods.

In the early Merle Haggard days I was listening to his music and "love it or leave it" was a big thing with many of us. America has changed much since then. At least, some of us like to think so. Today the right has said there should be no problems as long as the immigrant "carries his papers" with him. They say this time and again but there are no papers to carry. Homeland Security (before Trump anyway) said that the green card should be safely stored away in a similar manner as we are told to do with our social security cards. People ignore that and we all carry social security cards in our billfold. We move closer all the time to an America where you are stopped and do not have "the right papers" and you are arrested or hauled away. A passport should suffice as enough but you do not have to carry that with you either. Not so long ago people wanted to know if a Native American Congressman had the "right papers." When "Joe Redneck" is the sheriff or deputy and has no knowledge of these things why are we wanting him to enforce them so much? My knowledge on some of these things stems from the fact that I did all the paperwork for my now ex wife and brought her here from Kenya. We were married 12 years and she is now a US citizen complete with passport. VisaJourney (an Internet site) assisted me with their knowledge of the many ways of immigration. What I am writing is valid if you have active paperwork on file with Homeland Security along the lines of the immigration you are seeking. It does NOT apply for someone who simply shows up on American soil.

Americans used to expect truth from their president.

This morning, May 8th, 2018, Trump is especially bad for America because he will pull away from the Iran nuclear deal and make that announcement live on TV at 2 PM. We can then see stocks tumbling again and gas prices rise by 16 to 25 cents per gallon. Trump trashes the deal verbally but it was an Obama era thing, so you know in advance what Trump is going to do. On the sidelines here is Israel's Nuttiyahou also trashing the deal and telling Trump to "do the right thing." It is beginning to appear that making goods and services more expensive for Americans is viewed as a "right thing."

Hi everyone.

No Other Explanation But God Says The Victim?

DenoPenno comments on May 7, 2018:

To quote the boy he said he was walking down an open field when he started "coming back" and there is no other explanation except god. Who told him that? But there is another explanation. The boy was extremely fortunate. Most people remain "brain dead." If I grant that god brought this one boy back but cannot heal all the poor kids of cancer that are at St. Jude then I have to listen to Evangelicals claim once again that "god works in mysterious ways.." I'm sorry. I can't buy that.

When he settles Trumptown for his followers, I'll be watching the news with bated breath...?

DenoPenno comments on May 7, 2018:

I heard once that Giuliani was operated on for prostate cancer. Now I think he has brain cancer. The best I get out of all this nonsense is that him and Trump would both like to have sex with Ivanka. My thoughts on her are to get her the hell out of the White House ASAP.

Hello, all.

Good luck and to each their own.

If you were god, what would you have designed differently in human body?

DenoPenno comments on May 6, 2018:

I have no thoughts of gods designing a human body and if I did have it would disturb me greatly. I have distanced myself as much as possible from religions. Gods are imaginary.

DenoPenno comments on May 6, 2018:

We can only hope so but I think it is like talking to a wall. I once told a Trump supporter about Trump's lies and his immediate reaction was to start cussing Hillary violently and saying she should be locked up. In Quora Digest people write in all the time and want to know why Hillary isn't locked up, or why Trump hasn't locked Hillary up. I doubt that facts like Trump having no power to do this, or Hillary having not been convicted of a crime makes any difference to these brain dead trolls. Some even argue with you that they are smarter than you because they get their news off the Internet. So do I but apparently they get a "different news." It must be Trump's "fake news." I mentioned one of Trump's lies once and his supporter troll started rattling off to me about Obama and AIG insurance. I did not know what to say to any of this because quite frankly I had no clue what these people are talking about. I also refuse to argue or discuss with idiots. Trump supporters are confused and the most angry people I have ever seen. Again, talking to them is like talking to a wall.

Is religion "hate crime"?

DenoPenno comments on May 6, 2018:

Your words fit the description of exactly what they are trying to pull off in America today. The Kock brothers and friends want America to be run like a Banana Republic so they can save bundles of money by ignoring EPA and other agency regulations while the New Apostolic Reformation comes in with others like Pence and DeVos to handle the religious aspect of it. The powers that be are paid handsomely to ignore rights violations while people everywhere are stirred up and religion is used as the catalyst to bind the people with the ruling party. Believers want their "Christian Nation" with god taught in schools while the Kock brothers and friends manufacture anything they want without penalty and no regard for you, your water, your food, or your land. Will all of this limit your rights, your access to goods and services, etc. You damned right it will and I'm mad as hell about it!

Of course they are. For starters they cannot talk to you on the phone. It's all texting. Just words on a screen. My 2 daughters are like this. This promotes a general fear of others to a point of not wanting to go to a job interview. Can you imagine hiring words on a screen? This is worse than the banks or loan companies that call you up out of the blue. The dating site people (most likely in Nigeria) who are in love with you in 5 texts. You have to have more social interaction than just words on a screen, and this is just one area of things that makes them more lonely.

I would like to thank those that have welcomed me to this site.

He was hiding behind the couch. Go to countries like Mexico and Spain and there are sooo many people named Jesus. I once knew an ignorant church woman who complained that naming others Jesus like this was so shameful to the lord. It bothered her to hear "Hey sous." Yes, Jesus came with KJV English.

What year is this?
