@RationalLeft Well, we know that money talks and so far, Biden has had good results financially. Maybe the retirees in Florida will check their stock profits and decide that Trumpism can only sink them~😍
@RationalLeft We all know who Marco Rubio REALLY is, which is a wonder, because it is a wonder (the bad type) that more than 2 voters voted for him!!😂
@SuziqLeathers I just learned that an ordinary person facing the same charges would, if convicted, spend more than 50 years in jail!!
I also found out that Trump could, in theory, reach a deal with the prosecution and avoid jail time!
There is little doubt that judges are aware of the possible consequences if Donald goes to jail!
Fortunately, for all of us patriots, Trump has repeatedly rejected a plea deal while trumpeting (intended pun) his innocence and victimhood!! 😀
#Living
We may live the same experience (as an event) but each one of us will absorb it differently. Our reactions and our feelings will be perhaps puzzling to our friends and family!
For example. a big loss of money and assets can evoke suicide in some, while others will see it as an opportunity!
Even small reverses can provoke feuds or make new friends!
We all have mind frames which contain memories, pleasant or not; they often play a role in our new decisions!
Food for thought!
@GeorgeVotesBlue Absolutely correct!
But there is another way to lose a loved one, aside from death. What if that person close to us betrays that love and trust so as to hurt us as much as possible?
Food for thought!
@redsheri1 Nauties and Naughties! 😂
@Dbot The Taliban have shown who they really are: Time travellers from the 11th century!
They understand only one thing: Superior Military Power!
Too bad we could never make them extinct and send them back to their century!
Meanwhile, let's hope no sane nation recognizes them as legitimate government!
@DLoIndustries I'm 85 and I feel every one of them😅

Melania Trump received $155,000 as a consultant for decorating advice for a MAGA event in 2021!!
https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/melania-trump
A job that required at the most 3 hours, assuming she did not delegate this arduous task to one of the numerous aides, means that the hard working spouse of Donald was paid more than $50,000 an hour for her so 'valuable slovenian help'.
A teacher makes that in THREE YEARS doing a job much more helpful to the country than just choosing cutlery!!
Food for thought!
@BosmangBeratna You are truly a guiding light in the struggle to keep our democracy healthy!!😀
#EVs If anybody still had doubts about the transition to EVs, this article should clear up the future of automobiles:

@BosmangBeratna Well said!!
#covid Around 80 Americans still die every day from Covid or Covid related illnesses!
Guess who in particular! Of course, many of them are vaccine deniers who selfishly refused the shot and now they are dying! I can only say BRAVO, Nature's way of getting rid of idiots!
@redenigma What it amounts to, for me as well, is a careful process to reach a likely truth!
I regularly read British and French news to obtain another view of our daily political world and hope I finally get close to reality!
@ParadiseInside Difficult task indeed! These common maps (or frames of reference) give us very little ground to convince skeptics or cynics!
But the effort must be made!😆
#life "A life on our Planet" with the famous David Attenborough, is a frightening vista into the near future if we continue polluting our environment!!
It's on Neflix and I strongly recommend it to the younger generation. The warning is simple enough: There will be a moment when all attempts to correct our mistakes will be futile!!
OK, it's 2100 and life on Earth is bleak with most animal species extinct, our oceans can no longer absorb carbon or feed living organisms!
Food for thought!😩
@GeorgeVotesBlue A B S O L U T E L Y!!!!
Living Part Two:
3) There is no school to prepare parents, but you can get a lot of valuable information from books by reputable authors.
4) Make sure you include the following experts in your list of reliable service pros: Mechanic - Dentist - Lawyer - Policeman - Medical doctor(s) - Plumber electrician handyman. They will be invaluable in time of crisis!!
4) Learn how to solve your own problems as much as possible.
5) Listen to the people you trust BEFORE making an important decision!!
#Living Lessons learned during a long life: Part One:
Not in order of importance:
1) Don't include a new acquaintance in one of your frames till you understand their circumstances (Frame of reference includes for example Professional People).
2) Make sure you have ALL the pertinent information before: A job interview - An investment - Buying a new home - Proposing to your future wife (or husband) - Moving to a new location - Giving an opinion at a HOA meeting, etc..
