Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but reading the story about teens carjacking people..I think there should be a law that allows parents to euthanize kids who exhibit violently criminal behavior.

Seriously. Gave birth to and raised bad seeds...take them out before they inevitably kill an innocent person. You failed as a parent, cut your losses.

You're sounding more like a reactionary everyday LOL. My opinion is that the parents are part of the problem. Who knows how they were raised? Single mother, no father? Criminal parents? Parents that just don't care? Parents who excuse their children's behavior no matter what atrocities they commit?

Sometimes there are bad seeds, but most of the time the parents are the biggest role models and if their behavior is bad, then so will their children's.

One time we went into Manhattan to a hospital to see my Favorite aunt who was dying in a hospital. It had an outside parking lot. I just got the car coming home I park in the drive way and notice I had two bald tires. Someone had changed them in that parking lot.

I did not even get mad I just went out and bought two new tires. My wife saw this and wondered why I did not get even upset. I told her they took a big chance when they stole those tires they just didn't know it when they did it.

Normally, hospital visits for me our fast I'm in and out of there. But I tried to keep her spirits up because she was my favorite aunt.

If I had caught them in the act it would have gone badly for them.

About my aunt she had this clock it was under glass. It had a bottom part that moved on the hour in played a tune. I used to like to watch it move in her apartment.

So I bought one for myself. I still have it in one of the guest bedrooms. I disconnected the music. But I still like to watch it move around I think of her when I watch it. She saved me a lot of beating as a kid. She lived right next door to us. When Daddio tried to make me good as a 5 yr old by banging my head against the kitchen wall she would come in and take his mind off what he was doing

Good point,F1, and Thanks. Sometimes we need our friends to reel us in a bit.

what the hell is a muslim region? do you even know which countries are islamic?

meanwhile, a bunch of unqualified maniacs are in the president administration

Michael Flynn resigns as national security adviser over contacts with Russian officials


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/...-conversations/

Obama was playing chess on his way out and Trump's team was playing checkers.

Obama was playing Go Fish the whole 8 years. Imbecile. Colin Powell would've made a great first black President and would've been a legendary leader. Obama was a weak snowflake that got the country into the mess we are in today.

Yates,

I'll keep in mind that you publicly stated that you voted for Trump "to piss off liberals". Not to serve or protect your personal interests, and not because you felt he was the more qualified candidate.Not even because he was better choice than the other candidates. "To make liberals angry"

How can I have a serious discussion about politics with a person who would think or publicly write that?

The funny part, if there is one in this whole thing is that Flynn was the DIA head. He knows, or should have, that intelligence officials routinely intercept all communications with Russian ambassadors and highly placed diplomats.

Helen,

If Anybody would/should have known, Flynn should have known.
But for now Trump administration just looks unorganized ...and in my opinion....Obama dangled bait in front of them and they took it.

@yates

so it's obamas fault that America voted for Trump

trump will be impeached by August

Cook want to bet real money on it?

why do they even bother pretending everyone knows they had him killed

Trump relaxes US policy on Middle East two-state solution

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38987028




he makes it sound like it is so easy a conflict a issue no one has been able to solve for 80 years but people don't worry because Donald Trump has the answers

Thank God somebody finally decided to go with the solution “both parties like”. If only somebody had thought of that before, we could have saved years of bloodshed.

EXACTLY!!!

Palestinians are run by terrorists. You can't deal with them. So fuck them.

I agree with you right to disagree. That being said, I never said that was my only reason I voted for Trump. It was just my main reason. And I think it is important to realize why I said that. America is a very tolerant country. And this has nothing to do with race. We tolerate gays or atheists or devil worshipers etc. But when you start to take advantage of that tolerance and start shoving it into our faces, we will bite back. We still have a voice and we are still a force to be reckoned with. Clinton, the celebrities, and all the media, the polls overlooked that fact. So Trump, mainly was a reminder. We will tolerate and have compassion with many views and many diversities. But don't try to force views or ways of life upon us and say we "have to agree" or we are bigots or homophobes or racists. We respect peoples right to disagree with us, they should respect our right to disagree with him. As long as both sides are tolerant, we are all good. When the left stopped doing that, they crossed the line. That's the main reason WHY Trump is OUR President. But the left didn't learn their lesson, they doubled down on forcing their views upon us. We'll see how that works out.

trump is a terrorist

somebody in his inner circle has committed treason

he's finding out that our cold war with Russia ain't gonna end because he ordered his wife from there

When Obama won, was there all this ridiculous opposition? There was the regular disappointment that comes with losing. But nothing to the degree of how these pathetic sore-losers are reacting. We accepted Obama as president and hoped for the best. At least I did. The reaction that is occurring now is only dividing the country. So what? The dems lost. You have four years until the next election. Until then, accept the fact Trump is president. Regardless who's president the U.S. is #1.

Respect your opinion and appreciate you speaking from the heart. I don't see how cutting off your nose to spite your face is a good idea though.
The mayor of your town has more political experience than the current POTUS, and it's becoming more evident by the day.

Because of the feelings that you say a lot of Americans had, which propelled Trump into office, he became more and more emboldened by saying and doing anything he wanted.Supporters did not hold him accountable. The over confidence and arrogance is what landed the current admin. in current situation. As long as the supporters were busy standing AGAINST "the extreme left"...Trump's team felt invincible.

You seemed to have taken offense to me pointing out that Obama laid this trap, that Flynn (and maybe others) quickly bit. The facts seem to support this though. If people thought that Putin punked or pushed around Obama, what do they think Putin will do with a novice politician who just became POTUS?

Gangster and Helen,

Trump normally has a good poker face but during the press conference yesterday he was visibly pre occupied with the Flynn mess. For that I'll give him a pass on his comments about the conflict.

The second most remarkable moment of the press conference ( the one state, two state, red state, blue state, Dr. Seuss moment was the winner) came when an Israeli reporter named Moav Vardi asked the president directly about all the people with alleged Nazi leanings in his administration.

“Mr. President, since your election campaign and even after your victory, we’ve seen a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States. And I wonder what you say to those among the Jewish community in the States and in Israel and maybe around the world, who believe and feel that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones.”

(Trump, to his credit, responded to the reporter’s question with actual words. Words with absolutely zero fucking relevance to the question, but words nonetheless)

“Well, I just want to say that we are very honored by the victory that we had — 306 Electoral College votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. You know that, right? There was no way to 221, but then they said there’s no way to 270. And there’s tremendous enthusiasm out there,” Trump said.

There is a lot of antisemitic behavior in this country especially in the colleges. No doub about that the students are brainwashed by their college professors.

My daughter graduated with honors from Columbia university in 2002.

We went to her graduation to celebrate her graduation. At least half of the students wore Palestinian scarves.

I let it slide because I don't give a shit about making statements. I went their to celebrate. Got to tell you a lot of the parents their were nut jobs.

They made hats from the newspapers to keep the sun off their bald heads

I could not get over that. The guest speaker was a guy named stern he was the head of the NBA at the time. He was a former graduate. I still get shit from Columbia asking for donations. They already got 250 thousand of my money. Their not getting anymore.

The left supposedly loves free speech, but only if that speech agrees with them. Otherwise they think they can threaten your life. But none of them has the balls to actually do it.

Helen,

is that a real quote and response?

Yes, Gets, hand on heart it's real. There's video of it here.

http://time.com/4672402/donald-trump-anti-semitism-netanyahu/


The whole quote was longer:

Foot,

I agree with you about extreme left.......freedom of speech until you say something they disagree with.

Though I must point out that we're talking extreme levels of "left" though.
Columbia (and Cal Berkeley) are just very unique places though....brilliant people and most are nuttier than fruitcakes.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know,Helen, I wasn't disrespecting you or calling you a liar, but ..wow..............just wow.
