Trump did this in his first term. When he gets unpopular he starts giving stuff away and attacking his own party members. It doesn't move the needle for him. Folks will cash any checks and still blame him. He cant help himself he craves being loved.

The us is in a bad place. Socialist are making inroads and the guy who should be leading a serious effort to stop them is acting like them.
That's game. Goodnight everyone. :yack:
His fan boys think this is a joke. He's an egoist. This is the shite that turns moderates and independents off.

Trump needs to touch grass...the arch de Trump, now this. Dude is seriously got small dick energy.

That's now on my list.
Seriously! I am almost certain at this point the majority of the PT board are pissed off David Duke voters who never took a civics class and have no idea on how things actually work.

Good positive police story. I like how he was no..no...I can't get on I'll get in trouble...then "2 min later" he's climbing up. :lol:
Their should be continuous means testing for any social welfare program including disability. It should involve spot checks as well as having the person prove they still need it.
fricking Jew haters are going to tank the GOP in 26 and 28. I swear more and more the OT board is nothing but a pack of antisemites.
You're asking a board that is loyal to trump the man. They don't care about the shutdown. Many on the right have politically been playing checkers at a chess tournament.
Tell me you are a 20 something brainwashed college kid without tell me you are a 20 something brainwashed college kid.

If you think that the job of the Government is to take care of people from cradle to grave, move to China or Venezuela or Cuba. No one is stopping you from living your commie dream in some commie country.
That's just for fun. Cousins are for making kids...pun intended.

I thought he set their language as old Castilian and was using the informal tense in a sort of literal translation. I don't mind it, it's not present in the Soliloquies where Jordon is speaking to himself. I've yet to finish it so glad to hear the ending is good.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Posted by hansenthered1 on 11/8/25 at 8:46 am
I hate to say that I have not read a lot of Hemingway. I acquired a bunch of old books that my mother had kept which had belong to my grandparents. These are mostly 30s-50s fiction and among them was 1940 printing of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I'm about 3/4 through it and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The plot is not at all what I thought, I knew it was about fighting in Spain during their Civil War but it's really gets at some good points on the ideas of guerrillas, how idealism for ideology, mostly Marxism, plays out and the human dynamics involved in fighting. As a writer, "Papa Hemingway" seems to have been really as good as I have often heard him to be.
He's seems unconcerned about sustaining his agenda beyond his own term. He's thinking mostly about himself. This has always been his weakness.
