Put 'Mandarin Mussolini' Trump behind bars with tax charges, Michael Cohen says.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 22, 2022:

I think Garland needs to make an example of Donnie Boy so that crooks will think twice about messing around like Donnie did. Make Donnie an example of how serious this is and how harsh the punishment will be. If this is left unchecked the next generation is going to be that much more audacious and daring. Let's create a huge moment of caution for future scammers.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 21, 2022:

Were you too harsh? Depending on my mood and what was going on at the time I may have played him on for a bit longer. Or I would have run him around in circles until he hung up. Most of the time I'd just hang up and block the number. I usually operate from the "life is just too short" frame of mind.

What's a shocking thing a date said to you? His words haunt me.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 21, 2022:

I've never encountered anything like that, but I've been ghosted more times than I can count. There was one thing a date did tell me that confirmed I would never see him again, he told me he was looking for someone to help him grow up. I told him that was his mama's job and I had already raised my children. He had dropped out of college and had a string of tedious jobs since then. I think he was living with him mama as well. Talk about a HUGE red flag.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 19, 2022:

One of my kids decamped the US for the Netherlands. The US was just getting too threatening for them, their oldest would be starting public schools next fall, and just too many other issues that the Republican party seems to be behind. It wasn't totally political, but still traumatic.

What was a turning point in your life?

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 19, 2022:

I joined the Army after HS. I got outta my dad's house, out of my small town, and never looked back. I went to Germany and Japan, I learned leadership skills, and I found myself. In the circumstances it was the best move to make. Dad was not going to sign paperwork to allow me to go to college, his wife wanted me at home for slave labor. I have NO regrets.

Time to reassess priorities... My ex tolerated the pets. He'd touch them as needed to get them out of his way. He'd take the dog for walks because that was a good way to talk to neighbors, but that was all the contact he wanted with the critters.
