Diogenes comments on May 9, 2020:

I seem to only learn from the last method, when even then- I need 'added study'. Yes, and agree with what you wrote.

Diogenes comments on May 8, 2020:

Ya, G. W. Bush was " born again"; unfortunately the second time without a brain. Not quite as big an 'achiever' as Donald Dump, but close!

Diogenes comments on May 8, 2020:

Yes, memorizing facts, and then mixing them with an incorrect relationship can corrupt any story.

Trump is on the news, talking about the coronavirus task force.

Diogenes comments on May 8, 2020:

Trump has successfully murdered 80,000 US citizens--- and he has already started on a second wave. Will there be a THIRD wave in his plans?

"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you." -- Anon

Diogenes comments on May 8, 2020:

No one knows what happens after death; maybe this "person" has been transitioning for a billion years. Three lives back granny was a cricket, and looked as normal as crickets do! Canadian writer, W.O. Mitchell wrote, "Have You Seen The Wind". It's a force, and the results can be seen, but can the actual wind be seen? What part of Nature is the plan for wind?

Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself. - A.H. Weiler

Diogenes comments on May 4, 2020:

Yes; Donald John Trump has never personally stole a nickel from anyone; he is not smart enough. He gives a 5 pound package of money to his crooked lawyers, so they will steal from the poverty stricken.

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.

Diogenes comments on May 4, 2020:

M. first of all, I want you to have a good day. I have planned to have a 'productive' day. Ya, but I have "planned" and carefully organized before, and yearned for positive results for my intense efforts! End of that discussion! Yesterday instead of talking life to death, I went on a walk in the 'sun' for a change. It was hardly a 'strenuous' effort. Just goes to prove: use 'it', strength, or lose it. Hell, I've got to get out on a few 3 hour hikes--- a few times a week.

“Folks are usually as happy as they make their minds up to be”..............Abraham Lincoln.

Diogenes comments on May 3, 2020:

Is that why Mary Todd Lincoln ended up in a mental facility? After the death of her son and seeing her husband's head blown away, was it any wonder that she had no 'mind' to make up? A few days ago, I saw a bit of reality: "Make use of all your opportunities---- but the 'opportunities' have to be available!" Guess even Abe had the ability, to indulge in platitudes. … and I should have taken the "opportunity to just let this one slip by.

So the new strategy for the talking yam is to blame everything on China.

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2020:

It's the fault of China, WHO, his campaign manager- and the next person that gets into his sight. When is he going to blame it on the 'little green men from Mars?' I'm sure he has talked to them already. But that would be false news; he's a stable genius.

Where did Trumpkins get the idea that he can do anything he wants?

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2020:

Well so far he has "run everything by himself", he contradicts, on a regular basis, any member of "his" government. If he isn't taken away in handcuffs, wait till he starts a nuclear war.

The process we are in the center of at this time is happening whether or not we want it to.

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2020:

I'll keep it short; dead people are unable to go to work.

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2020:

Yes.

“Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous”...

Diogenes comments on May 2, 2020:

I wasn't much of a student as far as philosophy was concerned, but I found Hume had something worthwhile to say. A comparison to the logic of Hume is Sigmund Freud and apparently 'Siggy' Freud wasn't quite up to it in the reality department. He smoked 20 cigars a day and in the end, with his face eaten away with cancer, died by assisted suicide. There was a program on TV a few nights ago about the abuse of boys by the pervert priests. One priest, 'with his doctorate', said, "The church is going to end this." NO THEY ARE NOT. Religion is a bad joke; Christianity is nothing more than 2,000 year old superstition. The universe was not created in seven days; nothing has ever come back from the dead. But to admit this---- would end their BUSINESS!

Take responsibility, me, nah!

Diogenes comments on May 1, 2020:

If he ever said that- it would be the only time he told the truth in his life- he has not got enough talent to be president of anything, including the president of the local dog catchers association

Trump called out by reporter for opening country early to get elected

Diogenes comments on Apr 30, 2020:

Trump wants to be "successful"- he wants to start the second wave as soon as possible. He has only murdered 58,000 so far. Fauci has said the second wave could be worse than the first. I wonder if Dump's tiny thing in his lump can figure it out: "dead people don't go back to work."

This video shows the correct way to implement Trump's "Coronavirus Light Treatment" in order to ...

Diogenes comments on Apr 30, 2020:

Trumps' correct---- CERTAINLY BY ACCIDENT. With the inability to get face masks, I use the few what I have a few times. I put them on the "black" dash (that should draw more heat) of the car, and hope that the ultra-violet from the sun will disinfect them. I should face the sun with my tongue out- maybe it can get disinfected too. LOL.

This just can't be true---- there was a report om the internet where it was reported that there HAD BEEN an uptick in these types of poisonings.

If you can cherry-pick the bible and get away with it, why not cherry-pick the vaccines?

Diogenes comments on Apr 27, 2020:

Don't worry about the born-aginers- they would be too dumb to 'git' it anyway.

Many people knew about trump for a very long time.[youtu.be]

Diogenes comments on Apr 25, 2020:

An' ain't that the truth? LOL

I propose the Donald J.

Diogenes comments on Apr 25, 2020:

And just how does one put 50,000 in one grave yard? Trump is crazy. Has anyone found a long tie to go with his straight jacket?

The 7 DUMBEST Trump Statements - YouTube

Diogenes comments on Apr 25, 2020:

Only 7 dumbest! Would that be in the last 5 minutes?

Can anyone still call him sane?

Diogenes comments on Apr 25, 2020:

I've worn out this joke---- for the Trump-thing to become a moron, he would have to upgrade his IQ. One thing about injecting Lysol, its not like those 'expensive' drugs that one might have to take two or three times a day---- a person can inject Lysol only once.

Trump really did suggest (in this clip) that we could inject bleach or alcohol to kill the virus - ...

Diogenes comments on Apr 24, 2020:

Ya, I saw him say that----- watching the Trump-thing though--- I could use a lot of "alcohol". Don't think I would like it injected though.

Worst businessman in US History or Biggest tax cheat? Probably a bit of both. [rollingstone.com]

Diogenes comments on Apr 24, 2020:

Trumps count went up by more than five. He has now murdered more than 50,000 (Germany 5,000 deaths total)--- and don't forget to get your "disinfectant injection". How is 'anything' this insane allowed on the streets. And the financial costs!! Somebody said just print more money- what happens when there is no money for the paper? It will be the Trump-things biggest success, his largest bankruptcy ever- and he is proficient at doing the bankruptcy deal.

and he won't go peacefully.

Diogenes comments on Apr 22, 2020:

His departure will not be funny- and I am not saying your post is a joke. Britain had Emperor Cromwell a while back; Trump has all his players in place for a dictatorship- and he PLANS on applying it. By doing nothing at the start of this virus, he has managed to murder 45,373 by today's date, April 22, and the death total in the world is 177, 602.

"There's nothing more cruel than a kindness falsely given." - The Tick

Diogenes comments on Apr 21, 2020:

Trumpster raises his victims up higher, so, the next day, when he drives them into the ground, the rocket-propelled demise is much more intense.

This just in from your department of redundancy department...

Diogenes comments on Apr 21, 2020:

Ya, 'SUMTHIN'" like that! It must have, at some time, been one of T's slobbering blurbs.

This is brutal and accurate to their morality/motivations.

Diogenes comments on Apr 19, 2020:

You forgot "mass murderer". His actions were deliberate.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the whole article posted here a few times but just this one line is all ...

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2020:

"Nastiness" seems like a mild word for a concept of 'dedicated evil'. He must always choose the evil choice.

Didn't See It Coming!

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2020:

Spectacular, but the cartoonist forgot to draw/print the very loud whistle.

I am amazed the check was good:

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2020:

Love that, but remember, that by creating the late start to the virus, he has caused huge financial stress, but his biggest and most successful accomplishment of all----- his sixth or seventh "bankruptcy"! (Who keeps Track?) Ya, print more money, until there is no money for paper.

Why is trump gutting regulations that protect people

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2020:

He has already set up his dictatorship; it is just one more step in his fulfillment.

Diogenes comments on Apr 17, 2020:

I don't know where you find all these quotes (don't care either)- but that one is so exacting! Major point here; it was worth seeing.

😔 I'm going to defy stay-at-home orders and cross illegally into Canada.

Diogenes comments on Apr 16, 2020:

I saw one of the characters that were crowding the Florida beaches. He said he wasn't going to let the coronavirus spoil his fun- but I guess being dead might slow his fun down a bit.

Just heard a Donald Trump has quit the WHO. Which one was he?

Diogenes comments on Apr 15, 2020:

He is the one with the orange, toy hair, and the "great" big flabby gut. Oh, these guys don't look like that- and they look talented- and sane.

Trump Clearly Has No Idea What Happens in Mutiny on the Bounty... [vanityfair.com]

Diogenes comments on Apr 15, 2020:

I've even forgotten who the captain of the Bounty was; but like Dump, who always comes out of the sewer, he made it to an island and eventually back to England.----- Sorry people.

One small advantage to trump, he's a litmus test.

Diogenes comments on Apr 15, 2020:

What? Did you have some Canadian "dick heads" move to Australia? My advice, send them offshore again---- without a boat! But any thinking person, from ANY country, would not want them back.

Ain't it the truth?

Diogenes comments on Apr 15, 2020:

Mr. Vonnegut, great writer that he is, hasn't got it right; its "delinquent kindergarten members". Now that the whatever-it-is has stopped funding because HE would not listen to WHO warnings, can it possibly get worse? The answer is YES. When IT starts a nuclear war- there will be "TRUE TERROR">

See the happy moron, He doesn’t give a damn, I wish I were a moron, My God! perhaps I am! ...

Diogenes comments on Apr 13, 2020:

SO TRUE! Sorry, but there are days when I wish I was not a suffering realist.

Diogenes comments on Apr 13, 2020:

Junk is "junk", whether it be "gold junk" or not. To be pragmatic: can you eat it, drink it, read it, cure diseases with it; except for greed, what is it good for?

Amy Goodman (Democracy Now) interviews Noam Chomsky on April 10, 2020 [youtube.com]

Diogenes comments on Apr 13, 2020:

As usual, only Noam Chomsky, even as an old man, has enough guts to repeatedly, call out "Trump", by name, for all his murders. Yes, and if Trump gets a second term, that possibility will make Trump's nuclear war, make this pandemic look like nothing.

"Jesus had a bad 3-day weekend for your sins." Anon

Diogenes comments on Apr 13, 2020:

To take everyone out of their comfort zone, there may have been an actual Jesus, who led a minor Jewish cult that defied the Romans for desiccating the Temple. Nothing- from cockroach to dinosaur has ever come back from the dead. Another year, another three days of infantile, fucking bull shit!

Now he is seen as a threat.

Diogenes comments on Apr 13, 2020:

"NOW"? What has "now" got to do with it? He has been a career criminal for at least five decades.

THE BIBLE CAN BE TRUSTED 100%. [facebook.com]

Diogenes comments on Apr 11, 2020:

Well maybe the first page: " Printed by ---------."

Trump's actions and lack thereof are not a matter of incompetence and antipathy toward science.

Diogenes comments on Apr 11, 2020:

First part was correct but the last sentence of your delivery was 100% to the point. Dump is determined to open too early, so that the second wave will kill more people than the first.

“Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a ...

Diogenes comments on Apr 11, 2020:

I will certainly have rebuttals for saying this, any one that has time to waste to be an atheist and challenge the absurdity of religion, has too much time on their hands. Nature is! That's it. Long after this sun has burned out, what's to be? One thing for certain, all fictional gods will have vanished And from the quote, "religion a mistake", I don't believe that; I believe it is a deliberate "fraud".

Scientifically correct

Diogenes comments on Apr 10, 2020:

As far as "shit", if either Dump was delivering in a room, forget about toilet paper- a rowboat would be what was needed. I added to my reply, "Instead of being waist deep in shit, better to be in a boat."

Nothing is truer in a sense than a funeral oration: It tells precisely what the dead man should have...

Diogenes comments on Apr 10, 2020:

"should have been", an' ain't that the truth. They all die quietly and in peace with their loving family by their side; none ever scream, "I don't wanna go; I wanna steal at least a few more $ million."

It really is all Trump's fault, an interesting read from the Atlantic [theatlantic.com]

Diogenes comments on Apr 9, 2020:

I read that article earlier. Yes, REPEATEDLY, the article, lays the blame, where it is justified, on Trump. But in the US there are so many brave people that may die because of their courage. If there was only one of them- they would be worth more than a billion "Trumps".

Diogenes comments on Apr 8, 2020:

Yes, he is succeeding in his objectives, and he must say "greatest" because that is the only adjective he knows. If anyone tried to admit adjectives to the curriculum of Trump U. they would be thrown out. "Can't have anyone contradicting the smartest biped on Earth.

Fantastic! I had never heard that song name, other than The Water is Wide. The singer, Laura, has music in her veins. I have many things that are weighing me down right now; must learn to put a few things on here. There is one of the Belfast Summer Fest, where a dancer is dancing to a bodhran drum- she never misses a beat. It may be a test in aerobics as well; I've never seen anyone kick shoulder-high before. Thanks for the melody.
