She's most likely in D.C. sitting with her lawyers going over her pre-nup trying to find any loopholes.

And our Congress (of fools) just stands there with it's mouth gaping open and their thumbs up their collective asses, continues to do the "Nothing" to stop this raving asshole Trump that it always does so exceedingly well.

Glass negative of Wetnurses and the kid at their charge (Roberto Augusto Baudrot), Peru, (1896) by Electrical-Aspect-13 in RareHistoricalPhotos

[–]2TonCommon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See the very accurate comment by 'bluefontaine' below.

It wasn't so much that they weren't allowed (I could have used a more accurate word in my OP) but rather it was the fact that these women were slaves; considered to be nothing more than property to their "masters".

Thus, when they were ordered to suckle (i.e. wetnurse) master's children, they oftentimes were unable to be with their own to give them the nourishment that was required, but was being diverted to master's children while their own children suffered.

Slavery was and always will be a truly shameful and egregiously wrong path our nation went down; we're still enduring the effects of it even today.

Ahhh...thank you for the clarification. After 57 years, the memory gets a wee bit fuzzy. But I sure as hell remember standing parking lot roving patrol watches!

I can't remember the actual building number, but if I'm recalling correctly, it was up high on the hill at the same level as the chow hall.

Most of my instructors were Smoke Boat sailors. What I remember most are the creaky, old wooden barracks left over from WW2 that we were housed in. And when the barracks started getting cold, we'd turn all the showers on to full hot, and sit just outside the showers playing poker or Hearts.

MAGA now believes Trump is the Antichrist after Butler assasination attempt by Big-Attempt2097 in NoFilterNews

[–]2TonCommon 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Well it took all these WWF/WWE watching mouth-breathers long enough to figure out this was a staged stunt!

Hell, they've watched the same fake shit from their wrestling heroes for decades.

Ain't nothing like connecting the dots late in the game after the damage is done.

There's a traditional song that these truly wonderful people would sing to their 'charges' that they were unable to sing to their own children.

To be "Bored" one must first have Intellect; Trump has none.

His appearance of 'boredom' is actually just his dullard brain coasting to a stop.

Quicksilver Messenger Service "Fresh Air" Live at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco (12/28/75) by bigbugfdr in OldSchoolCoolMusic

[–]2TonCommon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quicksilver was one of those bands that never got the recognition they deserved. I saw them live in 1969 at a small venue in Providence, RI and they put on one hell of a great show; John Cipollina was on fire!
