So I went outside and identified the suns location at that time of day (3 P.M.). IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't ask for anything better. But will the weather coop... |

| Assuming they would survive a 2nd Trump administration because they survived a first is a big mistake. You know, be careful what you wish for. Left wing acceleratetionists are not a part of Trump’s base but maybe a small part of his coalition. I agree with the first 100%. I agree with the second, t... |

| This is not about owing anybody. Nobody is owed our vote. This is about putting frustration aside enough to make a difficult even wrenching strategic decision While there are plenty of people who say “They all the same” that is often said out of frustration, inside they don’t really mean it.

| I as a Jew have a lot of difficulty seeing “kill Jews” as innocuous at any time, never mind at this especially sensitive time. This situation has similarities to “Aspie”. 10 years ago “Aspie” was a fun and even prideful way of describing ourselves. I used an image of Hans Asperger in my posts. Like ... |
