Malcolm is the best!

We're flooded with info, thanks to a great investigative press, but we can only imagine the enormity of things the FBI and national security people like Nance are holding.

Talking to an average person about this is most frustrating. It's like the issue of global warming, they do not want to know. Someone, please explain this phenomena to me.

24 hr news? It's 6:30pm NBC, CBS, ABC

Coverage of local crimes, accidents, weather, and disasters. Not saying that's entirely bad but that they so seldom cover ANYthing else.

Most all other tv programming is garbage (bores me like crazy and 90% of movies I try watching aren't worth my time).

And, btw, I do MY OWN THINKING. I will continue to CRITICALLY watch msnbc. Mostly, Rachel is absolutely brilliant, yet occasionally I feel as if she has wasted her air time, depending on the evening. And Joy Reid is a joy. And Lawrence often makes some very good points. Please tell me when these 3 "ignore and belittle our progressive views at every turn"???



I get sick of being told that I cannot think for myself.

1. Swim with whales

2. Spend days in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

3. See mountain gorillas up close in their natural habitat but an impossible task for me now.

4. Eat great French food. My son is taking me to a 5-star French Restaurant in NYC for my b.d., so that'll be off my list.

Excellent!

Thank you! Then there is no escape for him. Here's to justice!



Btw, I remember reading that now but am...gees...getting OLD and forgetful.

Indeed, you are right. Your poor kitty.

My condolences. 😿

I hate uncaring, unthinking people. Unfortunately there are too many of them.

Re: the OP
Perhaps it was referring to the rescue groups?? They gave that sweet looking dog shelter, food, and a bath until they found its owner.

However, you're right: that Pupster survived on his own, out there for a long while. Poor guy, what a harrowing experience for him.



Rescue groups for dogs don't exist in some countries. 😞
In fact, too many cultures kill them and eat dog meat. And in others, they hate dogs. 😠

Thought for the Day's quote...

"There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard's vote."

Agree! Mine is also Biden/Harris.

Heard a national poll on MSNBC stating more of the general public support Biden.

I love both of these candidates' spunk.

Is my memory failing or do I correctly recall Pres. Obama holding Joe back a few times when he was voicing strong opinions?? Joe, if I recall, often took a harsher tone with the rethugs than did his good friend.

I like Warren a LOT but she doesn't seem to have the gravitas that Harris does.

Thank you. I wanted verification too.

I do not want to be on their level and lose credibility. Folks shouldn't joke about that.
