The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
like Kurt says, I wouldn’t blame you.
I see Freepers saying that he has put everything on the line for this presidential run. he’s put nothing on the line. He loses, he walks away with his wealth and continues to make $ doing what he does. and the country will be left in ruins in his wake.
I feel like I’m in middle school listening to these idiots throw jabs at each other....on FR and on the political stage
and ann coulter and Hannity on twitter! again, the world has gone INSANE. there is no sanity, no civility, no commonsense anywhere to be found. we have to HOPE it’s the end times because the future is so bleak~!
Trump has strong support because he is issues oriented. 1)Build the Wall and 2)stop unfair trade.
We’ve seen how career politicians have refused to fix those problems and that’s why we prefer Trump
Ditto.
Might work better to try to steer, rather than stop, Trump.
I think I know where he’s coming from, and it’s his WWE redneck rassling background. He’s figuring as long as he stays in that character, whether or not he’s technically right or wrong, his fans will love it. And he’s correct about that. The point was the fight. Not even who was right.
The problem is that without any ethics behind it, this makes him look like he’s devolved into a political strongman. He started out promisingly, actually caring about truth and smashing actual lies.
Call me crazy but I just wrote his campaign suggesting he keep the redneck persona but take a different angle on it: “Rednecks Built America.”
******************
1 Samuel 8: 10 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.
Nobody said Trump was a Messiah. That would be the immaculate conservative Senator Principled Conservatism.
Fact is Trump has strong support because he is issues oriented and we know that bought and paid for career politicians will never : 1)Build the Wall 2)Stop unfair trade.
what makes you believe he’s subject to steering?
“I dropped little dog off at the vet for teethcleaning and labwork today and asked them to call me as soon as he is done. With his anxiety, I’d prefer him to recuperate at home where it’s quiet. The receptionist had technicolor hair. Again. I don’t understand why people do that. I don’t get the multiple piercings either.”
The outlandish appearance is to detract from the lack of performance.
“See my crazy hair and how much mutilation I have endured to garner your attention?”
You were compelled to mention her zany appearance rather than comment on the quality of her customer service.
Well said. Is that from One Samuel? /s
Give him a vision that he can be more proud of than where he is now. The problem with these WWE fights is that they’re just fights. There’s no real hero.
but you are taking on faith that he will do those two things. anyone who simply CANNOT believe that he will do either, based on his lack of demonstrated foundational principles, is name-called by Trump acolytes. Anyone who is skeptical is derided as gopE. You cannot see the messianic fervor on the trump threads? seriously? they excuse everything he does/says.
The Oscars are really so dumb, we hate
Chris Rock, who decides to calumniate
And go through his paces
By calling us “racis”
Like Obama, his choice—to contaminate
Actually, she is very competent and I have always liked her. She is consistent in her work but I wonder about what has made her so insecure as to purposely call attention to her appearance in these ways.
He’s the kind of candidate who brought attention to some important issues and the way that frank talk can be effective.
His issues and attitude should have been rolled into the campaign of a more sensible candidate.
That is how he could have helped make America great again.
Not what he is doing now.
Yes, the other Samuel had the day off.
oh poor little dog. we have anxious pups too. davinci is on clomicalm.
That’s because he wasn’t named Carmelo, like he wanted. ;)
