We are in total agreement.

I am curious as to whom the running mate will be, too! I assume that the whole country is, too--even the repubs.

Is that aimed at Trumpers or Dems?

@Gwen_Wanderer There's a shoe for each foot. Or, hoof that is... Finding an original, independent thought here is like being hit by a drop of water in a sandstorm.

@Silver1wun there are NO original thoughts left . . . none.

@Gwen_Wanderer As a personal testimony, I must confess that I can't disagree.

@Silver1wun when I was in grad school, a prof asked if we are written or do we write?

We are written. I disagree with most of the Bible, but the "Preacher" was right when he said that there is "nothing new under the sun." New generations think that they come up with original ideas, but people who know history know that the "new ideas" are recycled old ideas.

Even communication on the net is only "new" in its format: people have been communicating since time immemorial--only the modes have changed. The topics . . . nope, not changed.

@Gwen_Wanderer Schooling, grad or otherwise, I agree, informs on the bases of what has gone before and I also agree that most 'new ideas' could qualify as recycled old ones. Original, self-sourced insights and ideas can and do occur. They are based on newly discovered (even though perhaps known in former eons, to our kind)

Original thoughts and perspectives might match or approximate original thoughts from others who draw similar conclusions and hypotheses from similar observations, because it is how our minds work - when they work.. So in my context, original means birthed not adopted; influenced not subordinate. Magaism, Presbyterianism, Wokeism, Trumpism, Democrat/Republicanism, Unionism, Communism, even Atheism (as a noun rather than adjective) are partially or entirely adopted, predesigned, preprogrammed for those who embrace them. Cults don't need gods. And, cultists have no need to think for themselves or entertain ideas from those who do.

Our interpretation/definition of history is woefully brief compared to our presence. What matters 'under the sun' is what happens under OUR sun. I visit this place occasionally because it is like a joke about a tour of Heaven I heard many decades ago, wherein newbies were told to be silent while passing a certain door because 'the Catholics were in there and they think they're the only ones up here'..

The principle can be stretched to any of us who are self-procalimed 'original thinkers'. Whether we're doing it from the barn, the corral, the pasture or what we, like I, believe to be open range. We can only be disappointed and limited by discovering and acquiescing to the rightness of fences.

@Silver1wun we will have to agree to disagree as I see the issues as recycled from old issues.

Me or them?

@Gwen_Wanderer Not you. The trump supporters are.

Pronouns don't do much to identify who you're talking about.

It’s a simple as that, but these libtards are so delusional and gullible it’s pathetic

I agree.

No,I think this is good timing because it gives the left time to exploit the "too old to be president" concept and turn it on the pumpkin

@TheoryNumber3 good point!

And yet his cult sees him sitting at the right hand of god!

He might think he is god.

@Gwen_Wanderer It is obvious he doesn't believe in gods but wants the devotion, attention, and wealth he can get by pretending he is at least a demigod.

@Betty spot on!

@Gwen_Wanderer How I wish I wasn't.

@Betty I totally understand. I have had times when I wished that I were wrong.
