My bottom line is ANYONE would be better than Harris, even Trump.

Seems the message was received and understood. Should be less ships going to israel now. If anyone did contact me for advice, it would be to avoid any contact with israelis.

All good. Let the games commence.

I agree. I was a fool to think it was a good idea to become a nurse and put up with bully managers so I could help the sick and dying for a pittance. I'd be sitting pretty had I gone to work in the Aussie mines instead. I'd even have been better off becoming a tube driver. So yes, I was just a fool. Sooner or later all the other nurses are going to wake up and leave for a better occupation without bullies that pays a decent wage. Guess who is going to suffer on that day? A while back I had my teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist. She came from a nursing family- mum and sisters- and they told her not to become a nurse- it's just not worth it.

A big idiot that thinks people will believe lies if told by a POTUS.

and over 7,000 children. Nothing justifies that.

and pathetic. Does he think the bombs that kill them were dropped by Hamas?

Exactly. If one sits on the floor all one's life one can keep doing it. Use it or lose it is the relevant phrase. When I was young I could put my toes in my mouth. Now I can't put socks on.

Agree 100%. I hung on in my marriage for 2 years longer than I should have in HOPE that she would become again the lovely woman I married. She didn't and I was worse off for the extra time in a HOPELESS situation. I don't hope for anything any more, and my expectations are that my life will just get slowly worse till I escape from it. No need to comment, as I'm old, and have no prospects of getting younger. Being old really, really sucks.

or it's a sense of adventure. That only lasts till they see their friends with their limbs missing and their guts hanging out.

IMO that's just life. Nurture indicates a degree of "caring", and IMO for most on the planet nobody gives a monkey's about anyone not family.

Santa lives in the minds of every child expecting presents in the morning.

Yes.

55555555555555 It's hardly been promoted as an alternative. Probably because they make more money selling evs than modifying existing cars. Where is the infrastructure to swap batteries on a large scale? NOWHERE.

The GOP desire to secure the border vs the Biden wish to apparently allow as many as possible to enter illegally. Who will blink first? https://thetexan.news/federal/federal-border-guards-cut-barbed-wire-to-allow-illegal-immigrants-to-cross-per-report/article_8f0e25b0-1b43-5893-993e-030ab4fc09f8.html

It's BS ( IMO ) like that that make me disregard anything that comes out of his mouth. IMO his time is almost done. Stalemate, and Europeans are bored of this bottomless pit for their taxes. IMO he benefited from the 1% desire to make more money by selling weapons, and they have done exceedingly well so far. Now they will be looking for ways to monetise the reconstruction of Ukraine, but that can't happen till the war ends, so not long now, IMO.

You ignore the reasons that Hitler rose to power. Those conditions do not exist in the US. Either you do not know of them, or you choose to ignore them, IMO.

To your knowledge. Fixed it for you.

Their home country is a <deleted><deleted> and they grew up thinking that the streets of the US were paved in gold. I guess most were disappointed after paying criminals to get there, even if able to stay.

LOL. I managed to become a shooting coach, so I was able to hit the target. I also used to fire on the 800 yard range in my own time. I preferred the SLR as that definitely put an enemy down if hit, whereas the M16 was less certain of that. However, I definitely preferred the weight of the plastic M16 to the solid and heavy SLR.

Singapore did that for it's multi ethnicity population with good results. NZ had National service but not for all, and gave it up decades ago. I'm for it, but I doubt most that went through it would agree. They did it in the coldest and most boring camp it would be possible to find anywhere in NZ. I was actually called up for NS, but I had joined the military already, so avoided that unfortunate situation!

Found a link for you. NB the israeli port call. Any vessel having any contact with israel is under threat. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/cruise-missile-yemen-strikes-tanker-ship-us-officials-2023-12-12/ The Iran-aligned group attacked the tanker, the STRINDA, because it was delivering crude oil to an Israeli terminal and after its crew ignored all warnings, Houthi military spokesperson Yehia Sarea said in a statement. But the tanker's owner, Norway's Mowinckel Chemical Tankers, said the vessel was headed to Italy with a cargo of biofuel feedstock, not crude oil. But it did acknowledge a tentative Israeli port call scheduled for January, details it had not offered in the immediate hours after the attack in the Red Sea. "Upon the recommendation of our security advisors, it was decided to withhold this information until the vessel and her crew were in safe waters," the company said in a statement. You said "Why would anyone volunteer to be a messenger of false news?". Would you care to retract that accusation, or are you going to claim Reuters is "a messenger of false news"?

I hope Trump wins if for no other reason than to poke a stick in the eye of people that refer to millions of Americans as "brain dead Zombies". People with that sort of opinion deserve to have another Trump term, IMO.

LOL. Can you explain that? IMO Trump is for Trump, whatever that takes. To label him as right or otherwise is IMO a stretch. Wasn't he a Democrat at one time- certainly pals with the Clintons going by photos I've seen of him with them. From the book I read about him, he seems to just react to life, rather than having a plan. Appeared to be rather chaotic. Just happened that he isn't a war monger, which was probably lucky rather than intended.

He didn't sort the southern border, stopped the wall being completed and made it easier for illegals to keep entering. Cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline. However the BIGGEST reason against him having a second term is that he is IMO unlikely to complete it and if Harris is still VP would by default see her as POTUS. If you don't understand why that would be a bad idea, refer to her abject failure to secure a nomination in the primaries.
