Old MacDonald had a farm, until Donald...

NHjulie comments on May 19, 2019:

I haven't investigated. How much money is going to family farmers and how much to the huge conglomerates that can withstand all of his stupid choices?

E does equal MC squared, since I was 50 time has passed much faster than before, anybody else ...

NHjulie comments on May 19, 2019:

I read somewhere that it appears to go faster because each period of time is now such a smaller percentage of the time you've been alive. At 8 a year is 1/8th of your life, at 60 1/60th. It's perception.

Truth from Mad Magazine

NHjulie comments on May 19, 2019:

That was before the Apprentice. That show is what made him into the icon that people revere now. Even though it was all making money for him. Even when he had the celebrities making money for charities. He got to write it all off and make himself look like a great guy. It's horrible.

Trump Joke of the Day Trump has a kale salad and some quinoa and it's such a shock to his system ...

NHjulie comments on May 12, 2019:

Very brave person. It's so unfair that we all think about the horrible things that could happen to this individual and yet around me people can drive around with their MAGA bumper stickers and confederate flags flying, and nobody thinks a thing about it.

Sometimes its tempting to focus on just the one person - its easier mentally.

Some discussion on how tRump started his whole administration. Astounding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsrmu-_UR_A

I'm Dickens, he's Fenster TV show from about 1963, only had one season.

NHjulie comments on May 12, 2019:

I remember it, and remember thinking it was funny but for the life of me can't remember what it was about beyond the fact of painters' overalls being worn.

Am I the only one this has happened to?

NHjulie comments on May 11, 2019:

I have to be so careful because I work at a school in a very republican town. A student one time was joking around, talking about how smart he was and then said he was as smart as tRump. I remember getting a horrified look on my face, and said maybe he should pick a different person like perhaps Einstein because he was known for his extreme intelligence and laughing with him. Then I realized I wasn't sure if he was joking or not and there were other kids there also. I tried to change the subject as quickly as possible.

Trump’s interest stirring Ukraine investigations sows confusion in Kiev By Anton Troianovski ...

NHjulie comments on May 11, 2019:

More Look here, not there by this administration. Spew all kinds of "secret info" that they have to expose, with absolutely no proof. Say you will show proof later because "people are investigating". Say it over and over, then let it drop so all people remember is you saying it and not that is was never proven. It's happened over and over again since before this tRump even decided to run. It's his MO. Giuliani is just following along.

War just ahead !?!

NHjulie comments on May 11, 2019:

I wouldn't doubt it. The first time I remember this happening is under Reagan. The bombing in Beirut that killed over 200 soldiers. Couple days later, we invade Grenada. Seriously, Grenada. So obvious that it was a distraction. I'm sure it's happened many times before and after by both Republicans and Democrats but I couldn't believe how obvious this was.

Is there anyone....

There is something that needs working on after we get rid of Trump.

NHjulie comments on May 6, 2019:

I agree. But then I think back to Obama, when Mitch refused to work with him at all. He could get nothing done if he hadnt started using executive orders.

Who has the most motive to kill Cersei? and why?

When you were a child what were you favorite comic books?

It's an oldie but at the end of the movie I Remember Mama, when the elder daughter gets her first book published, gets a large check, then begins to read it to her family. It begins with a brief description of her childhood and then....but most of all, I remember mama. It fills me with such a feeling of euphoria because I remember my mom, my being a mom and all those happy thoughts. Eyes fill with tears whenever I think of it, including now.

A good interview with Pete Buttigieg...is he all talk?

NHjulie comments on Apr 30, 2019:

I don't think it is just rhetoric with him. He's extremely intelligent and well spoken. I believe he has good ideas and doesn't just say things for the sake of saying them. When he said that he might have an idea now but if he learns more, he realizes that may change his mind. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, who either refuses to admit when he is wrong or changes his mind and then lies and says he didn't. Thanks for the post. Trevor isn't Jon Stewart but he's still good.

Just checking. Seeing that many of us introverts stay in, what TV does everyone enjoy?
