I dont sell or purchase using online PM's.....I do all of that via emails. When an ad is responded to by clicking on the "respond to ad" button an email is sent, when that email is responded to it goes directly to the person in question via email instead of the site....Though I do believe there is an option to use the PM system since the site upgrade I prefer direct emails. Once the transaction is over I usually kill the emails.....

Should we really say we would be better off not having dogs because it is so sad to see them go? We need to "get a grip."

I hear ya.....had plenty of others over the years but never sweated them much when they passed.......That last one though was a special case. I have not lost any children yet but I cant imagine it being any worse and thats a fact.

One of those somewhat rare occasions when "bipartisan" is a good thing.

More often than not when one hears a politician use the word bipartisan it should be interpreted as meaning there is a larger-than-usual deception underway. smile

If you do not realize this, it's because you are willfully ignorant about the testimony so far. None of it is favorable for the President and his partners in crime, and all of it is from reliable and first-hand sources. Many federal laws relate to Trump's abuse of power and criminalize them. However, as I said before, the only constitutional recourse we have is impeachment, and that will happen. Trump's impeachment is inevitable. Removal from office is not likely. Indictments, after he leaves office, are a real possibility unless the incoming President pardons him, but that, of course, doesn't stop all the state-level indictments that will haunt him for years and decades afterward. Just look at the recent ruling about the Trump charity by a New York judge. Not only did the Trump family have to admit to persistently illegal conduct and close the charity, but they also had to disperse any remaining money to the United Way, the United Negro College Fund, and the Holocaust Museum. This ruling is fitting since the most significant misuse of funds was $264,000 to renovate a fountain outside of a Trump property in New York City. History will judge Trump as the most incompetent and corrupt President we have ever had no matter what happens, and it's a well-deserved judgment.


Your wishful thinking and vivid imagination are entertaining but will you ever get tired of wearing those blinders?

In a nutshell

Posted By Greg Shaffer

So lets ponder on this a minute.

1. The Obama administration helped remove the leader of Ukraine and replace him with someone hand picked (1st is definite, 2nd is likely)

2. Two major things happened after that:

a. The creation of a gas and oil company
b. The creation of a new bank

3. Hunter Biden was placed on the board of the gas and oil company. This company was in charge of the energy in the Ukraine. This occurred while Joe Biden was VP and in charge of diplomatic relations between the US and the Ukraine.

4. The newly formed bank was funded with 1.8 billion taxpayer dollars.

5. The bulk of that 1.8 billion mysteriously disappeared.

6. Hunter Biden magically came into 1.5 Billion dollars. Quite a windfall for someone being paid $50k a month lol.

Its not a new scenario as Ukraine is not the only country where similar money laundering schemes of US tax paye r funds occurs. It is however one of the most obvious and blatant examples and there is little doubt heads will eventually roll.....it is simply too blatant to stay under the rug......
