Trump definitely won't attack Russia. Vladimir Putin is his bestie.
I think Putin is uncomfortable with a NATO country in that strategic position, so he has manipulated Trump into thinking that it would be a good "real estate deal" for the US to take it over.
Where's an entmoot when you need one?
Thanks. I've been on my own for a long time now. I'm glad that I'm still far enough from retirement that my accounts should have plenty of time to bounce back before I need to rely on them.
I really feel for the retirees who voted against this who are finding that their finances are not as stable as they should have been.
My mom retired last year. She also voted for Trump. She made her bed ...
I remember a time when the United States actually took a break from reporting on elections instead of manufacturing hype for four solid years between major elections.
The current political media landscape is exhausting, and I'm so sorry to everyone who is young enough to think that constant election projections are "normal."
I found this part surprising:
He has also established himself as a wellness guru.
Do you also think that saying "Happy Holidays" somehow excludes Christians?
Increasing the size of your umbrella doesn't discriminate against the people who are already under it. It simply invites more people to join them.
I agree with you one hundred percent.
But I also know a decent amount about the failure of literacy education in the US in the past 20+ years, so I'm not surprised that many people in the younger generations prefer video. For too many of them, reading is a chore.
Hell, I know plenty of people in my own generation who will tell you they haven't read a novel since high school like it's a point of pride.
I have heard that. I'm backing up everything that's important.
We always knew there weren't enough of us to matter. (At least, those of us on the younger end have always known. Maybe the older members of our generation didn't realize it for a while.)
I didn't expect that to play out with Boomers holding on to political power until GenXers were all old enough to retire, but it seems to be playing out that way.
My family was super meat-centric for all holidays except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Any meal where it's physically possible to barbecue, we would. And a family barbecue meant hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, pork steaks, and beef steaks -- one of each per person, plus a couple of extras. Sides were German-style slaw and potato salad. Buns were not included, but my grandma would always put a stack of white bread on the table (she was the only person who ever ate it).
When I started dating my husband and took him to a family holiday, he was shocked by the fact that my whole family was eating hamburgers and hot dogs with flatware instead of on buns. And he was actually sad at the lack of side dishes.
When I went to one of his family barbecues, I was sad that there was just one hamburger per person (already on a soggy bun) and a ton of weird casseroles.
