No mitch, I control what I can control. Not only is it good enough, it's all that anyone can do...even you You've been kicking and screaming here for years. What have you changed? Better yet, don't answer that. I don't really care.
You’re indifferent to almost everything...i hardly believe you live a life of activism.
As far as what I’ve done? Blow me. You chide me more than Trump.... you’re more bothered by a screen name rando than by your president....
Now go back to patting yourself on the back for being the all American-American that you see yourself as.
Wow...you paid a rascist for his services. What an activist moment
And you wonder why everyone is so dismissive of you...
Yes, I'm going to withhold payment from someone for something he said that was insensitive but completely legal. Brilliant.

It's not that I don't care mitch...it's that I choose to focus on the things I can do something about.
You should have tweeted it and live streamed on Facebook live. That’s the only acceptable option.
I don't like what he said nor do I agree with it, but I wouldn't do that to anybody (even mitch). That's not how you handle things maturely.

I saw some people sharing it on Facebook during 2016, and immediately called bullshit on it. Anyone can look at it and realize it’s not the Clintons.
I hadn't seen the picture in ages and honestly didn't pay attention to it at the time because I don't really care. I thought we were past worrying about stuff like that, but apparently not.
I mean...i know you want to be past it. But let’s be honest, you were never really concerned about any of this were you?
Nope. Nor am I bothered by white people being called "offensive" names like cracker or honky. We've completely jumped the shark on this PC bullshit. Nothing has any meaning anymore and now the things that are actually offensive get lost in the noise of the stuff that's no big deal.
Go watch shows like All in the Family or The Jeffersons. Great shows that wouldn't even be aired today. Pussification of America is continuing and people are getting tired of it.

I just saw this today and thought it was fantastic. I knew going into it that the timelines weren't quite right, but while I really enjoyed their music going back to the 80s, I didn't know enough about their story that it bothered me at all. I thought the movie was great for what it was.

20 weeks later and he's been slowly deteriorating. I have to make an appointment tomorrow which I expect will end up being to put him to sleep. He'd been doing pretty well until the last week or so. Still seems okay other than clear weight loss, but he's not really eating much now. He may not be "suffering" but he's clearly not well. We'll see what the vet says, but I think we know what the answer is going to be.
Our other cat had major surgery a month or so ago. She has cancer that has a high rate of recurrence. They were able to remove everything, but it's likely that we will be dealing with this again at some point. We planned to downsize in terms of the number of pets, but the goal was to do it gradually. Not sure how this is going to go if it happens this quickly...

Do too many too fast and it will come to a grinding hault. Auto loans, mortgage loans, credit cards ALL GO UP which can lead to lower spending and also commercial lending goes up for business owners to borrow. When borrowing hundreds of thousands or millions 2.25% is a huge deal.
So glad that you’re worried about people who borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars...
No wonder you voted for Trump
My God you sound stupid. It jacks up the cost of money FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING. And for job creators and employers as well. Your flippant comments show you lack of knowledge in economics and how monetary policy works.
He lacks knowledge in pretty much everything. That's why nobody wastes their time engaging with him any more. It's not even entertaining like it used to be.
