My father took me to Robert Hall when I was 10 years old.

From that day on, every time we went out to eat, no matter what restaurant, I wore a suit. Men and boys wore suits in the 40s and 50s and women and girls wore dresses. I didn't wear a t-shirt growing up, except for gym, until I enlisted. We didn't need a dress code for school, everyone knew what was proper to wear. My father sold tires to trucking companies and wore a suit every day.

The commissary aboard Camp LeJeune.

Your groceries are bagged, taken to your car and put where you want them. These people are not paid and live off your tips. We tip them $5 for bagging and $5 for taking them to our car. Plastic bags should be banned everywhere.

Donny doesn't stand a chance with Kim.

He has been in training for the presidency his whole life. He knows how the US government works better than Donny and many other politicians. Don't count on China or Russia to help.

Cream Cheese and lox made with Pacific salmon.

Wild Pacific salmon is the best.

Some people wait for others to die,

but you are much better of killing a few healthy people quickly. If their internet is working there are some very tasty recipes to be had.

I know Trump doesn't care,

but how many dead Marines are Americans willing to accept for the oil? How many wars are we willing to be fighting? How long are we willing to have them in Venezuela? I can't find where Venezuela has been invaded. If it hasn't been how do we know what their army is capable of. Killing innocents is one thing, but being invaded is another. When a country is invaded, the military will usually put up a better fight. Fight in the cities making the US kill more civilians than soldiers. I don't know anything about their military leadership, but I would make the US kill civilians and I would have the press taking lot of pictures of the "massacre of civilians". What gives the US a legal right to invade a sovereign state with out a vote to do so in the UN?

Venezuela has an active military of 130,000 men.

If we did decide to invade a country not at war with the US, how many Marines and other military personnel should we send? As for 52s, are you suggesting we could carpet bomb the country?

What would be the outcome if we invaded Venezuela?

How many troops do they have and what types of equipment do they have? Would any countries enter into the conflict on our side and on their side. How many casualties would we sustain? How many military and how many civilian casualties would they sustain. How long would we have to remain there and what is our exit strategy?

I know he didn't write it.

It didn't say that he had done more than ANY OTHER president.

How many of those jobs were in China?

But 40% of Americans will believe them.
