Epstein .. The only reason Trump announced this was he heard Rudy was in a car accident and he remembered who Rudy was and what a distraction it would cause to nominate him. Epstein.

My first job was pumping gas at a boat marina for 3 summers .. the girls referred to the guys doing this as "dock jocks" .. when things were slow in the middle of the week, we'd help the mechanics .. learned a lot from working with them.

There's no going back .. America elected a convict, a suspected rapist and pedophile, a russian asset, a small and thin skinned man as President. Question is, how do we pick up the pieces and move forward .. together ..

We lived in Dunmore, PA but my parents managed to scrape enough together for us to have a cottage in the Poconos where we spent the entire summer. One time in winter someone was complaining about the cold, so as a youngster i suggested we go to the cottage where it's warm :)

First time at the beach my younger brother who was around 5 or 6 ran straight for the water and a wave caught him and sent him sprawling and tumbling back up to shore. My Uncle said "Well he's done for the day". My brother got up, drenched and exclaimed "That was great"! and ran back in :)

Stop with the facts already .. you're confusing the issue! :) Unfortunately the real issue is the current energy barons wanting to milk the last cent out even if it means destroying the climate. it's a price they are willing to pay.

As far as Newsom, a lot of Americans are happy to see someone give Trump a dose of his own medicine .. encouraging the funny and tactful responses instead of the dull and lifeless responses by Schumer, Warren, and Jefferies. Not saying they even know Newsom's policies, or expect to vote for him.

You're right, this is a good conversation .. "Starr" obviously is too thin skinned to be out in the wilds of the internet. America for a long time has held itself in higher regards than other countries see it, stepping on them as it sees fit. Whatever moral high ground it had after WW2 is long gone.
