The Repug majority is dirty, on the take, receiving tax breaks and big corporation donations. They don't want to risk their huge income by impeaching the goose with golden eggs. Graft and corruption takes a supreme effort to dislodge from a power seat. The only way this will work is if we vote in ...

@LucyLoohoo If Nature has provided another experience, we could come back as any kind of animal- or force of Nature, even. Just because we can't see wind, we can see the strength of it, sometimes to a horrifying degree. Possibilities and realities are far more interesting than religious, pulp fiction.

The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.

I don't know... when you get older, you start rearranging your priorities.Many things that you held as important or interesting are not anymore, and you appreciate other things more.

I really hate to admit this – you don’t know how much – but when I was a Christian, I believed in stuff like this. Atheism is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Diogenes replies on Jan 30, 2020:

I hate to admit my early life too. Get this, I was "saved" in the Salvation Army. Wow---- just how ridiculous can it get? IQs? None! No concepts of anything, including their funny book.

The Palestinians haven't got much left to lose. They have lost their land, their liberty, their dignity; there is high unemployment. I would like to see Trump standing in front of a Palestinian with a gun, who has no fear of punishment, because he has no life anyway- and Trump says, "Take it or leave it".

Trump blather is emphatic. The situation arises when his fan club can't tell the difference between an 'emphatic lie' and the 'emphatic truth'.

@Redheadedgammy LOL.

Bilbobagins comments on Jan 22, 2020:

It’s amazing how well lies work for him. And constant repeating them even more so. This says a lot about the psych of his base that he’s in tune with . It’s easy to make fun of the lot but we’re in trouble if he isn’t impeached and gets in a second term.

Diogenes replies on Jan 23, 2020:

He has ALREADY set up his dictatorship; "Trump's Senate" will not impeach him; that's how bad it already has gotten. It is most important that he does not win in November. It is not just the US; it is the world that is endangered.

Once again trump is calling the impeachment a hoax.

Diogenes replies on Jan 21, 2020:

@Freedompath I agree with you; 'I like to be right'. That does not mean, "right" with my 'opinionated right', instead that means the answer that is the closest to what is reality. It's good to share thoughts with cognitive people--- even when I am being corrected. YES!

Yes, "compassion" and understanding. Trump still doesn't understand what his 'eye candy' IS, or why 'it' has to be attached to his arm. Probably someone sucked up to him by saying, "Good thing YOU thought up the idea of having Melania come along."

@BestWithoutGods Damn, there goes my 'championship'; I thought I had tried every beer in the world. This morning I went into the pub and said to 'Tabby', "Here I am, again, the first boozer of the day."

Just my thoughts.

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2020:

Keep in mind that all so-called news has been 'adjusted'. We are living in "1984", where actual news was 'faults'- and then hidden. If Trump had been around at that time of Eric Blair's writing, the "faults" news would have been overwritten in as 'Trump's news flash, of the moment.'

Diogenes replies on Jan 11, 2020:

@MichaelCooley2 It has been decades since I have read it. I believe that when the 'criminal-police' captured Smith they put a cage on his head with a hungry rat in a cage attached to the other cage. The ending was that Smith was released--- totally unanimated and dead of any response to reality. I am not a literary critic- I am sure there must be many people here who can be more incisive than I am. So far Trump just murders foreigners- he will get down to the general population later.

@henthabox Yes. "Ya, tho I walk through the Valley of Death--- I will have super dude with me". Something like saying, "When I walk through downtown Toronto I don't fear getting shot, because I have my water pistol with me." Forget about the notoriety of Chicago, Toronto has a few murders every week. No murderers are hung; only the victims get "capital punishment".

Have a good day; one with a few laughs, even when life is too much over the top.

@AnonySchmoose Let's put it this way, at least they are cognitive enough to know the tunes. Take 'Mr. Trump' ,again, for example, and J.Strauss, the younger or elder, there was a New Year's program from Vienna and ending with the hand clapping Radetzski March; Trump would have no idea of what this was. Priorities: he has them--- like how to cheat on his next tens of millions in taxes.

Some people are 'wired' differently. My now dead mother never told a joke in her life; she couldn't understand why people would laugh. She enjoyed being critical and saying nasty things about everything; that's what 'wound her clock'. The education from this is, a person should learn even from a NEGATIVE example- and to reason things out.

Diogenes replies on Dec 25, 2019:

My opinion for the most thoughtful Thanksgiving is to do a fantastic table setting, and some sparling water- and be very thankful that there's no worms in it to cause blindness. FOOD? Many people go without sufficient food for months. ONE DAY, without food, should no have fatal consequences.
