Happygolucky4u: Actually that is most likely why we all are here. As you it sure beats me. And communication is a good part of having a healthy relationship. I do try to work on the art of conversation regulary. Things I have found with myself is I am good at talking AT people not to them. Also listening. Listening is part of communicating which is the main ingrediant in converstion. I have to sometime make myself stop my mind from running a million miles a second and force it to listen to what is being said. Comprehending.....I sometimes have to say what, or read a few times before I can release what I am wanting to hear to actually hear what is being said. These are a few of the things I work on daily. That and coming off sounding like a drill sargent I have an idea what conversation is, I just am unable to participate in one without practicing a few things that seem to want to evade me.
I think I know what you mean, Happy. Superficial conversations where none of the participants are really listening to, or making much effort to understand one another, seem very unrewarding to me. On the other hand, some seem to prefer the back and forth volleying of meaningless trivia. There seem to be more of the second category here. sigh

Hi
I hear ya, but he ain't. Not underneath. Thing is (not talking to you here, you know better)
he, pelosi, nadler, shiff, shumer (not gonna look up the spellig of these names) basically the leadership of todays gov
has decided to follow a certain policy and this includes listening, or pretending to listen to the hard left for a while. Naturally this is just strategic.

But who is this "hard left" people keep talking about? It seems to me that in the USA, not having your own personal weapons arsenal makes you a member of the hard left.

The likes of AOC, and those other 3. NOW, even oac is not really hard left, and the only one I can think of is Bernie. But funnily enough Bernie is liked, even loved by a lot.
So - the hard left that is; pc, stop flying, let in all who wanna, 69 different bathrooms, one one for each gender etc is - - - nobody! Not really you see -
well
It's just a construct that will evaporate later, is my belief.
Consequently I'm not worried like the ones that you can't align with
on this topic whatsoever.
Yes some of them need to get out more, truu that.

Anyways.

In Trump we trust!
Everything was easier under him.
Or should I say 'during', hehe.

See ya

I got that too, I wondered if it was my fault, but it seems not. It's just that things usually are.
