Trump believes that the weak need to give in to the strong for peace. He abandoned the Kurds. He abandoned the Afgans. His peace plan for Gaza is to get rid of the Palestinians.

He projects strength so he doesn't give in to anyone, but Putin projects more, so Trump gives in to him without a fight.

Only by growing older can you truly understand how confused your parents were with all the new technology coming onto the market.

They went from radio to TV, but computers were the step too far for them.

We went from TV to Computers, but now what computers are being used for is the step too far.

My psycho cat posed for me.

With every nomination for appointment that T is putting forth, why do I have this gut feeling that they're all just taunting and getting back at the 'Me too!' movement.

Hi all!

I'm a 64 yr old former accountant, disabled for the last 20 yrs with an orphan disease.

I'm an eternal optimist, and believe that science should outweigh opinion: Even if the masses say that 2+2=5, will still put 4 as the answer because there are things bigger than what people believe.
