Yes, it looks bad..very bad, but it is a one day deal.

...Bad is bad. One day is one day. Don't forget that..ever!!!

...We lived through 9/11. We lived through other bad days. We will live through this. If no one is killed,
it won't be that bad. Sure this is bad, but compared to other days.....not that bad.. Let us not forget that.
...Remember Sandy Hook? Remember others? Worse? Much Worse? Yes, Much Worse.
....Bombing at Oklahoma City....163 killed?
...This looks bad, but it isn't that bad...

Imagine this if you can...Trump giving a speech at the Washington Monument next month..

...Twenty thousand people are watching the speech and listening respectfully. The speech is 2/3 done and all of a sudden at that point, Donald Trump takes off all of his clothes and stands but naked in front of the crowd of 20,000 and says..."I won last November's election, and I will fight like hell to keep the
presidency." He says that even though Biden is the President of the United States of America and
has been sworn in and already running the government...
....That thought is what Donald Trump is doing now in front of the entire world...not just 20,000 people
in Washington D C. He is hurting the U.S.A., The Government of the U.S.A., The Republican Party,
The Trump Family Name, and a whole lot more. Donald Trump has lost it, (he may never have had it)
and has proven that he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. Donald Trump clearly doesn't care
about the United States of America. Not one tiny bit.

Why Trump's call is so significant...Easy to understand, Short, Clearly Illegal, Shows Trump's

Stupidity., Shows Arrogance, Has Been Reported Everywhere, Clearly About Getting More Votes to Win...(which is illegal) Also shows Donald Trump is ...NUTS...

...Yes, certain Republicans and Right Wing Nuts will not believe the truth, but almost everyone else
will believe because it was recorded and the recording is clear and easy to understand that it is Donald
Trump makeing this call...Hard to believe he did such a stupid, corrupt thing, but of course..
who is it we are talking about?...That explains it all... Thanks for reading this..

Essay from the 80s by Sydney J. Harris.."Time Lost Never Regained-Not for Love Nor Money

"Time lost can never be regained--not for love nor money." Sydney J. Harris, Chicago Sun Times.

Sydney J. Harris was a columnist at the Chicago Sun Times, & Chicago Daily News...I clipped this article from the 80s, date ??, from the Sun, Times. It makes just as much sense now, as it did then. I would like to share this with you. I believe this is a very special column. Yes, it has been posted before, worth reading again. Thank You for your time, if you read this. I think it is worth reading again...Stuart

"Time lost can never be regained--not for love nor money." Sydney J. Harris

I have always dislike the phrase, Time is money." That is the last thing that time is, for it is irreplaceable, and not all the money in the world can bring it back or halt it or reverse it.

....Actually, time is love. People who are always in a hurry, who have no time for anything except the most important matters, fail to understand the nature and needs of love.

...Many a man in our society imagines that he is "supporting" his family by working long hours, attending innumerable meetings and traveling incessantly. But through his motives may be good, his reasoning is faulty.

...No amount of material goods can serve as an effective substitute for time spent with loved ones. The most "neglected" children are not those of the poor, but those of the rice--or those trying to get there. There are no presents as important as presence.

...We have become victims of time. Our schedules are running us, instead of our running them. While it is true that people in the Middle Ages worked many longer hours than we do, a third of the days in a year were devoted to holidays when families were together.

...Time is love in other ways as well--the time we spend with the old, the infirm, the time a doctor spends with a patient, the time a teacher spends with a student in special needs of help, the time a pastor devotes to the personal needs of his flock. In all these areas, all of us are guilty of being dominated by the clock, of rationing our time so that everyone is "taken care of," but no one is really cared for...............

...
...Children of course at the most injured by our obsessive delusion that time is money. Fathers will spend weeks alienated from their children, and imagine that an afternoon's fishing experience or trip to the zoo makes up for this neglect.

..It would be more realistic to turn the proverb around and say, "money is time"-- that the best thing that money can do for you is buy the time to demonstrate your love by your company, your interest, your concern and your pleasure.

...Of course, I recognize that there are millions of broken families where this is hard or impossible, and that millions of mothers with young children must work in order to meet the families bills. But I wonder how many of these might still be together if the father had not put his job before his parental responsibilities. If the mother had not gone to work for reasons other than financial need..

...Time is love, above all else. It is the most precious commodity in the world, and should be lavished on those we care about the most about When it is not, retribution is swift and certain and there is no turning back the clock.......(end of column)

Could Trump's call to Brad Raffensperger affect tomorrows senate election? Just asking.

I really don't know one way or another. Thanks for any responses

Even this late in the game, Trump still thinks he can get away with "anything."

..That Donald Trump could even propose "finding votes" as he did, is proof that he still thinks he will
not face consequences to anything he does or did. It is really that simple.

The fact that Trump Thought He Could "Get Away With It" Proves he's Evil & Totally"..NUTS"

...Donald Trump made an illegal proposal over the phone to a sitting governor about overturning an
election. What about the mentality of that action? Trump was sure there would be..no consequences!!!
.........................................................................................................................
..........
.. sure ....NO CONSEQUENCES...& it would be "KEPT SECRET"..

Lets' think about that one awhile .... ...

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
