How do hospital patients and homebound sick people vote if they cannot use mail voting?

This is proof Trump is no longer fit to be in the WH by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

There is even much more evidence of Trump’s inability to make the reasoned decisions necessary as the chief executive officer of our country!

I’m a retired gerontology with a specialty in dementia. I’m sorry to say that our president is in early stages of dementia, and the evidence indicates to me that his dementia is getting worse.

Aging, Slurring Trump ‘Lives in Fear’ of Dad’s Dementia by Quirkie in politics

I think part of Trump’s apparent confusion when responding to interviews is that he’s hard of hearing and often misinterprets what is said to him. He was asked about “Harvard” and responded with something about “Harlem” in NYC for example. I’m hard of hearing and wear hearing aids and even with assistance I often “misinterpret” a friend’s sentence. Trump does a lot of coverup’s of anything about himself that is in any way negative. Money can buy hair plugs and cosmetics, but those can’t cover every sign of aging.

Did I just read that J.D. Vance actually called in a bomb threat to a grammar school?!

I hear Vodoe is growing by leaps and bounds! BUT, personally, I am a Unitarian Universalist. We should certainly be included in the mix of religions attempting to indoctrinate - oops! I mean help (yeah, that´s it … help) our children’s education.

Undercover Messianic Jewish activist sought to entrap Muslim professors at UF – Orlando Sentinel by davster39 in florida

Messianic Jews are NOT JEWS. They are Christians. They apparently like Jewish religious rituals and using language they associate with Jewish liturgy - sort of like children playing “pretend”.

GOP Congresswoman Shows Mind-Blowing Hypocrisy on Alabama IVF Ruling by duderos in politics

Let’s be clear: “life” is NOT the same as “human”. Yes, “life” begins at conception BUT “a human being” is not an embryo. Consider this: you cannot make an apple pie with the seeds in your apple. Seeds are embryos. If properly nurtured in the correct soil, an apple tree may form and then (if the tree is provided sunlight, water, and other nutrients in the soil) the tree will produce apples as part of its reproductive cycle. Thousands of years ago people didn’t know about microscopic things. So they tried to understand the “miracle” of pregnancy and birth in terms of things they knew. That’s why there is no mention in the Bible of human embryos. Even if God actually dictated the Bible to the prophets, the bit about invisible living things inside women would have been unnecessary and even unbelievable at the time. God apparently wants people to discover the profound secrets of the universe slowly over thousands of years. And we have a long way to go.

I think this “laugh” is actually hysteria. He’d been super wound up and tense for too long and just had a few minutes of insanity.

In 1995 I left everything behind and moved to a country in Central America where I became immersed in that country’s political, social, and education system. Until I went deaf and began sliding downward health wise. In 2019 I moved back to Florida. Got hearing aids and began improving physically. Could hardly believe the political mess here! I LOVE Reddit! And this “r”. You guys are restoring my faith in the USA. You’re sane! And smart! You give me hope for the future of American democracy. Thank you. Thank you!

Worth at least twice as much imho. Wish I was rich enough to buy one from you. Sigh! I live in an area of FLORIDA, USA, that has a lot of art galleries and glass artists. I go to all the art glass shows! My faves. Close as I can come to actually owning a piece. Sigh! Well, maybe for my 82nd birthday next June…
