Yes, the man has absolutely NO idea of how to compromise when mediating. It's either his way or the highway.
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Why does this keep happening? Why do Republicans have so much Russian propaganda footage laying around?

For those who don't know, and that apparently includes the current head of the Anti-Defamation League: Henry Ford was vehemently anti-Semitic and played a key role in the dissemination of anti-Semitic views. Adolf Hitler was a big admirer of Ford, and Ford was awarded and gladly accepted Germany's highest non-citizen honor in 1938. This is one of many such articles written or authorized by Ford in the newspaper that he published, which had the second highest circulation for a weekly in the U.S.:

Ford only shut down the newspaper when he was sued by various parties including . . . the Anti-Defamation League!

I've lost the yardstick to measure what is too preposterous to be true. Where I used to say "Nah, that's obviously made up," now it's "Seems unlikely but who knows anymore."

With that background, the ad is him promising to have Russian soldiers trample through Arizona. Not very patriotic.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I expect that the judge will reduce the award, but that certainly sends quite the message.
OMG. Just heard about this. Wow.
Prepare to OMG alot more.



That is not a typo.

Wow! :o I know Jones made a lot of money off his radio program, but...$965 MILLION?? :shock:

Hey, I think he deserves it for the heartache he caused those poor parents! :rage:

If I said what I think of this man, you'd have to edit (or remove my post)! :x :x :x :devil:

Vincent Van Gogh Painting Has Tomato Soup Poured On It By Climate Activists.

Apparently it will be relatively easy to clean up, but I just cannot understand the protesters' reasoning.

I might condone leaving the cleanup of the glue for the last, until after the painting is cleaned.

At a luncheon for Republican women in Mesa County, Colorado, last week, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., warned that educators “are putting litter boxes in schools for people who identify as cats.” This latest ridiculous claim is part of the conservative outcry against liberals allowing students to identify as something other than their biological gender.

This kitty litter rumor has been floating around for enough time that Snopes has debunked it as an urban myth. What started it off was schools stocking litter in buckets for children to pee into in the event of a shooter lockdown, along with candies for diabetic students, first aid items and disinfectant wipes. It is also one of the best things for mopping up blood and body fluids, another reason that some schools keep it on hand.

But of course, Bobert... :roll: https://news.yahoo.com/urban-myth-litte ... 36043.html

Perhaps it's time to screen public servant candidates for mental illness. Oh, I realize that's probably not constitutional and would present problems of it's own, but seriously.. Houston, we have a problem.
