McSally battling

I love how you pick ONE poll that says what you want it to say, while imploring us to "look at the trend" part of the time.

Tom Cruise is getting to go to outer space, Elon Musk and Space X are sending Tom to the International Space Station. If you succeed in the entertainment industry then the whole world is yours, Tom gets money, fame, hot women, he eats at all of the best restaurants, he is invited to all of the best parties and events, the whole world belongs to Tom Cruise, he is living a great life, if you succeed as an actor then you get the best of everything.

I at least had to try to be an actor, if I would have succeeded then I could be living in Malibu with a rich hot wife, with all of the best of everything, with a home and winery in Italy, and whatever else I want. Success is great, it is worth the hard work and sacrifice if you make it. I had to try. I put everything I had into it.

But I still have my movie script and my poetry book that maybe I can make money on, and then I can invest in a night club in Rome and a vineyard, etc. I still might be able to make some money and enjoy the rest of my life. And I have ideas for a couple of television shows that maybe I can sell, or produce, we will see. And I can produce movies, etc. We will see what happens.

And I knew when I started studying and training that the entertainment industry was a hard industry and that I might not succeed, or that it might take 20 years to become an over-night success.

Tom Cruise just has that special gift, and you either have it or you don't, and if you have that gift then the whole world is yours.

Salute,

Tony V.

US riot cities should invest in water cannons. They're very effective...set the temp to 'super- chill' and watch the mood of the protesters/rioters dampen.
There's something about being hosed along the streets and into gutters they don't like.

Maybe that cash should be invested in the citizenry...

When, and only when, they've stop rioting and destroying the places....it's a good idea.

Latin American dictatorships were very fond of water cannons.

Safer than tear gas.
Just water and hoses really.
And they help to put out fires.... and stop others being started.
The rioting could've been stopped months ago with water cannons...which might lead some people to believe that some officials across the country are happy with all the riotous protesting.

Yes, one of the chances a man takes when he gets married or enters a relationship with a woman.

Ever wonder why people are protesting?

Trump's pc and his answer about mail-in ballots and his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, should scare the shit out of every American who gives a shit about our democracy.

Trump: "Get rid of the ballots, we'll have a very peaceful transfer. There won't be a transfer, frankly, we'll have a continuation."

This cancer which is determined to destroy everything that democratic loving people hold as important, must be eradicated.

Me, myself, I, wouldn't give thank you for a trip to the International Space Station...free or not.
Couldn't imagine anything worse.
Toilet?
Bathroom?
Food?
Tom will probably like it, he likes all that adventure stuff.

Malibu, ...rich, hot, wife?
Best of everything?
Sounds good....what I see and read about it is not all perfect.

Not anymore...it's all been explained in this forum and elsewhere.

Here is a story that presents a microcosm of the problems with racial animus and violence in this country.   My wife referred to this story as "the dog poop execution."

Never go outside.
Never blast your car horn in anger.
Never get out of the car.
Never go over to you neighbour's place and complain about anything.
You'll be a victim, but you'll be alive.

Never shoot anyone unless you see a weapon and can justify self defence in a court of law.

In 1950, taking McCarthyism head on while others demurred, Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith delivered a more pointed articulation of these principles in her “Declaration of Conscience.” She said: “It is high time that we stopped thinking politically as Republicans and Democrats about elections and started thinking patriotically as Americans about national security based on individual freedoms. It is high time that we all stopped being tools and victims of totalitarian techniques that, if continued here unchecked, will surely end what we have come to cherish as the American way of life.”

Jawohl.

The fascist motherfucker can't make his contempt for democracy any clearer. If he thought he could win the election, he wouldn't touch the subject of mass voter suppression, his desire to maintain power no matter the cost, or his naked lust to pack the Supreme Court with enough co-conspirators to countenance his rape of the US.

We were only following orders!
