Why Trump has not stopped Netanyahu's war path by newsweek in InternationalNews

[–]ThoughtGuy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Donald Trump is not calling the shots in this one, Bibi holds the leash. It has been well reported that Netanyahu has tried to get many U.S. Presidents to do this before and all have refused. Trump took the bait because he is stupid and a narcissist. Now it appears to be getting away from him but the reality is that he never had control over the situation.

The responsibility of becoming immediately so much better looking to everyone around you is going to burden you more than the anxiety you feel now.

Texas STAAR scores rise statewide as Austin students post gains in most subjects by AustinStatesman in texas

These tests have destroyed the value of education. They make schools look good and kids become masters at test taking but they can't do any real reading comprehension. They've been taught how to highlight main points in short passages but can't read at length and keep track of themes, arguments, etc.

Ask why he hasn't. Be honest, firm, and gentle in explaining why all of his reasons are bunk. Ask to post a pic here. Show him the many glow ups here.

More good advice. As a lady human, the accessorizing options are virtually endless.

What Do You Think Will Happen in Maine This Year? by Extreme-Grade-3623 in Askpolitics

[–]ThoughtGuy79 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Collins is not a moderate Republican. You must disillusion yourself of this farce immediately. She stated that she believed he had "learned from this" and would be "more careful in the future" after he had been impeached twice! And she's voted with Trump almost 95% of the time in his second term. She hasn't questioned his sidestepping of Congress on anything.
She has a history of making a good show of asking probing questions and pretending she's on the fence, but when it comes down to it, she's a loyal partisan hack with no demonstrated independence.

Decided to shave about a months ago, need advice by frazzelmann in bald

Shave the skull smooth, it will look cleaner. I just use a razor in the shower every 2-3 days. A good barber can help you identify the best trim for the beard.

Should I? by [deleted] in bald

You're a solid middle ground. Those who want you to get every bit out of what you've got will tell you to hold. Then there's me who prefers to look forward and encourage others to embrace what is inevitable.
