He should have had her arrested.

She committed a crime and by not pressing charges other people will think that they can get away with it. Civility is losing in America.

I will let you know after the 2020 election.

Yes if we take both houses and the presidency. Maybe if we keep the House and win the Senate or the presidency. Not likely if we keep the House but can't take the Senate or the presidency. Definitely not if we also lose the House. Whether you believe what he writes or not, read Alexander Tyler about democracies and their stages.

She looks like Phoebe, Lisa Kudrow. Though not as smart as Phoebe.

I think he brings her for one reason only.

Every single person that this cop arrested no matter what the crime

should have their cases examined by a non-government board and the FBI. Every one of them should have a new trial and any evidence he found should not be admissible at trial. Every prosecutor who tried a disproportionate number of the cases where he is the one who found evidence should be investigated.

My son is in prison in Florida convicted of attempted murder.

All things considered, I was glad to hear that a large part of his MC is also in the same prison.

I am against Medicare for all.

I am 100% service-connected disabled for something that had nothing to do with being in the army. If I had finished college as my mother wanted instead of enlisting I would be on SSI and Medicaid. I have totally free medical care. Everyone should have totally free medical care.

At least 200 people died attempting to cross the Berlin Wall.

No matter what the odds people will try to be free.

I enlisted in the army in 1963.

I was bored with college and didn't know what I wanted to do as far as a job went. So I enlisted for 4 years. It did not have anything to do with patriotism. After 4 years I was bored with the army so I didn't re-enlist. Now after 24 years of service-connected disability I am bored and learning to box at age 76. 15-20 years of that and I will probably get bored again and have to find something new to do. Like others, I don't think that patriotism has as much to do with enlistments as the economic reasons.

Employers do not actually pay anything towards the workers medical insurance.

Employers figure out how much they can pay a worker. That is the gross amount. Then they subtract everything they have to pay for having that worker work for them. What is left is what they pay their worker hourly or a salary. Simple, let's say that an employer can afford to pay a worker $18/hour. The employer's cost except pay is $6/hour. The worker is then paid $12/hour. That is a very simplified example, but I think I got it right.

Macy's July 4th will start at 8 on NBC WITN on Dish and probably others.

Bloomberg.com will stream The Boston Pops starting at 8. The only price I can find is $20,000/year. If anyone can find another way of not watching Trump but watching July 4th please post.
