@npub1zhp…60ce Hair extensions? Ok..I didn't do anything radical except to take a long restful nap. I've been sleeping for shit lately and so my naps are longer. Saw an old friend who gave me some pot. We talked. She's left her troglodyte controlling husband and is divorcing him. But in order to survive she's moved in with another man. Who 'takes care of her'. She's looking for work. Good luck, girl Otherwise I'm fine. Starting vaping, and drinking, though.

If anyone wants to tell me I have to 'understand the other side,' you can go straight to hell.
I'm not the person who voted in a convicted felon and rapist. I don't have to respect or even acknowledge anyone who did.
They showed who and what they are.
That doesn't require me to accept or even like them, let alone understand them.
They sure did not for me.

I was doing some research on new computers (which I'm in the market for right now) and found that 40 years ago, the computer I had (Tandy Coco) had a grand total of 512 KB memory and cost more than a top rated Alienware computer of now-which has 64 gigs of RAM!
Coco: US $399 (equivalent to $1,480 in 2023)
Alienware Aurora R16 $1,385 with up to 8 TB of SSD space.

For those who want the US to stop the Gaza occupation and destruction, do you understand that the US is not Israel, we do not have any real power over the Israeli government and the only person who does is Netanyahu, who is the Prime Minister of Israel. Talk to him about it. Do not expect the US to take over the situation.

These are the things that will happen to America if Donald Trump does NOT get elected:

Needless to say he's pretty dumb. Most people will survive the event, and most will cheer when he's defeated for the 2nd and final time.

I would suggest that in light of Trump's behavior at Arlington, he be forever barred from visiting the cemetery, being allowed to have the option to be buried there (as all ex-Presidents do) and barred from having his casket in the Rotunda of the Capitol for viewing when he dies.
He's a traitor, a coward and neither of those people deserve or get any of those honors.
EVER.

BTW, people: do not go around damaging or vandalizing election signs.

It is a election law that they are not allowed to be tampered with. It is usually a misdemeanor but it can get more serious the worse the damage is:

Trump might have a lot of money locked up in his stock, but if he takes out any value, it might completely tank the stock..which has lost 70% of its value recently.." Trump Media has lost a staggering 70% of its value since late March, a selloff that has accelerated as Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, has gained in the polls against Trump.

"The Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP)—a controversial initiative mandated by Congress in the early ’90s and first implemented in Texas in 2005—requires the state to collect money from the estates of people over the age of 55 who received Medicaid. If an individual receives Medicaid for long-term institutional care, in-home services, prescription drugs, or hospitalization costs, the state can “recover” or “claw back” (to use agency speak) funds after the individual dies."

This is corporate greed in action:
"The median pay for airline and commercial pilots is $171,210. Last year, Alaska’s CEO made more than $10 million. The CEOs for Delta and American each made more than $31 million."
The CEO's don't fly planes. They don't do anything special to rate that money, but they get it anyway.
WHY? What justifies 100 times more money for the CEO than the pilot?

It should not be news that Trump is easily manipulated, but it is.
He's a old convicted felon with mental problems and should be in a nursing home.
But instead, he's running for office.

@npub1zhp…60ce Well, considering he was a heroin addict for a while, I'm rather thinking he's got little actual grey matter left and what there is is eaten away by moths stoned on heroin.

"The Ugly American" abroad has been replaced by the "Horrible Touristas" in many parts of the world where tourism is becoming noxious and hated.
We could all do something about this, by not traveling so much and spending more time at where we do travel.

The "stand your ground" law in Florida is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice ever perpetrated on the public.
But this woman was convicted despite that defense.
She murdered another woman because she was black. Plain and simple. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/susan-lorincz-ajike-owens-guilty-b2597641.html
