I thought the problem was that wasn't allowing Gazans to leave Gaza. Now the problem is they're ethnically cleansing the land and taking it? Hard to keep up with all the pro-Hamas agitprop!

Trump has taken his place as the very old guy. The oldest active candidate in history now. And mentally he seems 88, not 78.

You are far better off not replying at all to @maesariangHe does not apply any intellectual power to his replies and posts. And he is an idealogue, who hurls insults, rather than thoughtful replies. Also, he cannot handle any criticism of Trump, so all you get is a knee-jerk reaction. He is the new @susanlea This forum deserves better.

Youre the worst kind of american Thanks, I appreciate the kindness and support. Having thick skin is a sign of high self esteem and knowing who you are, where you belong and how you fit into this world. Thin skin is so unattractive. It is such a sign of weakness and the constant social media criticism, name slinging, and use of derogatory terms towards the people who believe differently that you do, is weak. While I often criticize Trump and his policies a very rarely ever criticize his supporters, that allows it to get personal and ugly. Get over yourselves. Grow some thicker skin.

Unreal Totally wrong, I live in Thailand. I spend most of my year here. I do visit California often and I do travel quite a bit, but I'm here most of the time. Also if you bother to read my posts you would notice that my complaints are almost always about the government and the way the country is run, and very rarely about the people who I am very fond of, and I have a lot of affection and respect for. I'm here right now as as we are exchanging these thoughtless, slanderous and meaningless messages.

August 20, 20241 yr Are tampons really that frightening? I saw a tampon when I was but a wee whipper snapper and it didn't frighten me back then in 1946. If my 9 year old son started whelping and carrying on because he'd seen a tampon I'd clip him around the ears and tell him to grow a pair. Really, afraid of tampons of all things. Now if he freaked out because he'd seen some these new fangled ribbed extra large condoms....well, ok, I suppose I'd be cool with that.
