Huh? Me?... No, man. Not getting all teary. Nobody cries on Halloween.

What is there to cry about?

Yes, this is a head-scratcher.

Quite aside from their enormous (yet perhaps incompetent) financial shenanigans in Africa and around the planet, remember always that the Chinese are up to some deeply sinister shit. (Google around: Some say there are more like TEN million.)

I don't think the United States government is up to dealing with this. Especially today.

This is the "perhaps incompetent" part.

This versus that.

It's one thing to say a private company like Twitter should end retweets or McDonald's should bring back the McRib. Aside from any number of other sweet government bennies, Harvard has a $37 Billion dollar endowment which essentially escapes taxation... It's been called an enormous hedge fund with a small research institution attached.

We should ALL have something to say about this: We are all invested.

In the last few days we have seen our regional partners #Oman, #Bahrain, and the #UAE make statements and/or gestures signaling warmer ties with #Israel. A more stable region leads to a stronger and more prosperous region. It is good for all.

Satire or future Ben & Jerry's flavor? I report, you decide.

I haven't really been following the caravan story.

Is this something new, or is it one of those things where it has been happening all along and they are just now getting around to reporting it, most likely for political reasons?

Is this one of those things where they say, "Men, women, and children" but they really mean like 1,995 men and two women and three kids, or is it really families?

I think I need to go Google...

It does seem to me as parts of the world heat up (whether due to sunspots or C02 emissions) and become uninhabitable, and other colder places become more pleasant, we need to expect mass migrations and the northern countries need to start thinking about how that can happen IN A CONTROLLED WAY.

Angela Merkel, "Let's throw the doors open" isn't a controlled way. But realistically it is something we need to deal with as people in northern climes.

"...we need to expect mass migrations and the northern countries need to start thinking about how that can happen IN A CONTROLLED WAY."

We have the "controlled way", but we simply do not use it.

Yes, yes, but what if I identify as a transgender, transrace person of non-pallor?

Those countries are uninhabitable because they're corrupt, gang and crime infested sh!tholes. We and they will be better off if one can reform their country of origin.

As for when these caravan's started, I can't rightly say, but my impression is after Trump's election. So...I guess this really is Trump's fault!

Love this.

Reagan very quick with the comeback.

A favorite teevee moment (actually about 10 mins)--

Ford had secured the nomination, but it wasn't pretty. The last thing in the world Reagan wanted was to go to the dais on Thursday night and smile-for-the-people and congratulate the sonofabitch... But Ford made him do it. So the Gipper made the speech of a lifetime, and locked his nomination for 1980. (Watch their body language, and that of the wives.)

Yeah, they're all white people. But watch their eyes as he speaks to them. A working class older guy welcomed me and a friend for a beer at his rural Indiana trailer that weekend. He spoke about this speech with tremendous respect.

Ah, the link:

'Psychology Today' says Republican narcissists are pro-2nd Amendment and anti-illegal-immigration because they're suffering from a sick sense of entitlement.

Meanwhile, Democratic narcissists simply enjoy a strong identification with their party.

What wonderfully well-reasoned article.

After a 150-Foot Cliff Fall Left Her Partially Paralyzed, This Woman Will Crutch the New York City Marathon

Interesting you should ask that question IRA, theperception on the radfem boards is that indeed a Lot of the non binary trans people are using it to opt out of being a white male privileged type. “I know I am a rich white male but I am nonbinary which makes me the most oppressed group ever!”

I wish society would bring back pride in NOT being oppressed
