If for no other reason of getting your name in the news for having represented him, I think the last round demanded prepayment so the pain wouldn't be so great.
Trump is starting to receive fallout from his comments.
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”
I had nearly the same event more than 10 years ago. On the Turnpike, late at night, one trooper on the side solid lights (not flashing) so he must have been doing report followup. I was in the outside lane next to him and a car was passing me on the left. No opportunity to move over and no apparent reason to slow down. He chases after me, I pull over and he recited the law. I stated the lights weren't flashing so It didn't appear to be an emergency situation. I got out of there with only a warning.
Coming from a culture that considers (mostly) that talking about one's mental struggles is a taboo, it is hard to admit one's difficulties, seek and ask for help.
I think in America it can be the opposite to share your shortcomings without being a social outcast for doing so... Look at all the wealthy Hollywood movie stars going to their 'shrink' so they can cope with life.
Recent news: Donald Trump defended mocking Nikki Haley’s birth name after the former president dropped the racist dog whistle about his Republican rival last week.
The GOP front-runner referred to Haley on his Truth Social platform as “Nimbra,” a twist of Haley’s first name Nimarata, after previously using “Nimrada.” Haley has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since her childhood.
Trump, in a post to the platform earlier this month, also promoted a birther conspiracy theory that claims Haley is ineligible to be president.
As usual, the comments are accurate and so is the followup story:
Haley was born in South Carolina. She is the daughter of Ajit Singh Randhawa and Raj Kaur Randhawa, who both immigrated to the United States from India. Even though Trump is both a son and grandson of immigrants and has been married to two women who immigrated to the United States, the casual racism behind mocking a name unsurprisingly seemed lost on him.
On Sunday, The Miami Herald, chimed in about DeSantis:
“DeSantis never appeared to want to save the GOP. He was more interested in making it a more ravenous, angrier and intolerant party. That worked for Trump, but didn’t work for the governor with all the charisma of burned toast.”
One reader comment: "Now he's proud to honor the oath to support Trump, who never agreed to that oath. A man with 91 counts against him."
Military in place? Good question. I'm thinking there must be some governments somewhere in South America like Columbia. Maybe an African country or Middle East country.
You have me thinking... was the Delaney & Bonnie touring before or after Layla? I say this because of Duane Allman and Eric Clapton collaborated in Miami. There was an extreme slide guitar influence there.
Thanks for the input. There was so much going on in their musical and personal lives. I hear one comment that the recording company did filming during much of their sessions and they stored all the media in vaults. Little of it was released so there's much conjecture about fighting going on.
Luke, I'm up late working on a few things before going to sleep... Time permitting, on Monday, I'll post some video clips with the words coming out of Trump's mouth and not an interpretation or manipulation by the news media.
Also he vowed retribution/revenge to anyone who crossed his path, should he win a second term and maybe 'backstroked a bit' as his comments in a recent campaign rally he claimed to be too busy. The first thought that occurred to me was his comment in his last administration when he said he wouldn't have any time for golf.
With the exception of DeSantis vowing to support Trump, I rally really didn't want to cloud this blog with Trump stuff.
His campaign brought out the worst in him. I predicted he would run several years before the announcement. Also, I mentioned he appointed someone to change Florida law so he could return if his campaign failed.
I heard the 'crawling back to Florida' phrase from a political news team. Funny, but not mine.
I intentionally avoided making comments about his wife. There may have been a time when she was in public with a jacket saying wokeism comes to Florida to die. Not appropriate, but I think I avoided saying anything about it. I wouldn't be able to recognize a photo of her.
This isn't the first time my comments about DeSantis struck a nerve with you and I'm sorry to hear your decision to avoid my blogs. Strong words, considering I write about a whole world of topics, I'll say good bye for now.
Everyone has a different definition of comedy. Take for example, of the DARWIN AWARDS given to those who experienced the misfortune of death by stupidity. It's a form of humor that usually gets published at the end of every year.
I'm on one site where blogs are blocked if they contain violent words. So if the blog was about the assassination of President John Kennedy, you have a good chance it would be flagged (not viewed by the other members) and have to be rewritten by removing the offensive word(s).
Hi Gigi, you can like a blog or comments in a blog and remain anonymous. To give a thumbs down, it has to be an emoticon within your comment for everyone to see. As you explained, the OP can delete comments they dislike.
Forums are a little different where you can leave an anonymous thumbs up or down to any thread comment... Currently, there's an unexplained rash of thumbs down in the forums. An example is when someone greets another member with 'Hello, long time no see' and their comment gets a few thumbs down. Those are part of the system and cannot be changed by the OP.
Since it's anonymous, we have no idea who is running around spreading hate.
Wikipedia doesn't credit Judith Durham or the Seekers for Turn! Turn! Turn! Oddly her maiden name is blocked by the word filter here, so I added a space. Judith Mavis Co ck
Turn! Turn! Turn! (subtitled: To Everything There Is a Season) credits Peter Seeger.
The Limeliters may have covered it and Roger McGuinn was in the group for a short time.
CS trimmed a few thousand blogs last year. Probably because it was taking too much space on their server(s) so if you dig deep into the archives, there's a good chance those old blogs are gone.
