Any subject is open, as long as everyone stays polite and respectful.

I have said this from day one Trump's biggest enemy is his mouth and Twitter. Every time he goes on a rant it just makes him look bad. He has plenty of spokespeople. If he wants to twitter in defense then stay positive and lay out the facts instead of calling the subject of his ire names. Remember perception is reality and there are a lot of fence sitters out there. I would hate to see him lose to one of the Democrats running against him, because of his temper.

He would come across as a LOT more presidential if he would follow your advice, ignore the vendettas and screeching in all caps, and just post positive things on Twitter. Most of us over 40 have learned to shrug off inconsequential negative comments and focus on doing our jobs to the best of our abilities. He hasn't.

Back to General Store chatter....the perfect fall afternoon here...the smoker's smokin'... brisket and tri-tip..

Keep in mind that lots of his supporters love the "fireworks"....did they announce the tweet during the proceedings?
Right now, there's no Democrat who has a chance....is there?
Anyway, getting ready to put in some bricks? We're meeting up with another possible foster tomorrow...

The problem is his supporters are not going to reelect him it's the middle of the roaders and moderates that he must have. That is how he beat Hilary but the left is on to that tactic and won't make the same mistake again.
We don't know who his challenger will be it more than likely won't be any running now they are all way too far left for middle America.

It's going to be another "Never Hillary" election...just fill in whoever gets the nod...
People aren't concerned by this impeachment nonsense...this is a very political, left leaning town...the neighborhood pages are full of important things....

When we bought the house many moons ago, the family room was and addition. It started as a pool room. There was no insulation in the walls just cinder block furring strips and paneling. It was the hottest and coldest room in the house. I poured a cement slab to put a wood burning stove on. Worked great, then I decided to remodel tore out all the paneling and ceiling. Replaced with real oak paneling I insulated the walls using 3/4 inch Styrofoam sheets. and put in a gas burning fire place. To cover the exposed cement slab hearth, I used thin paver bricks. Really looked nice but over the years with grand babies and people dropping things on it the pavers got broke or came loose etc. well the new doesn't match the old so we are replacing the paver brick.

It's a long way to election day.
I don't think Trump will be above ground on election day.

People are quite concerned about the impeachment.... esp. certain orange-tinted ones in DC, and his followers. lol

The (D)s have a good field of candidates this time, not a single one as unlikable as Hillary. And as early polling consistently shows, at this point in time any one of them has more support than the Toadstool.

Trump hasn't done much of anything to attract moderates and undecideds. His LoveMeLongTime rallies pander to the most rabid of the radical far right. There are a number of bipartisan-supported bills stalled in the Senate because McConnell is blocking them. A word or two from the "best negotiator ever" could get them rolling again and give Trump something truthful to crow about as far as accomplishments. Dismantling Obama era things is not it. Rolling back environmental protections and opening national parks and lands to commercial interests are very unpopular ideas out here. Whoever gets the (D) nomination will be hammering on that to his detriment.

It sounds like a room with a lot of memories. Did you do all that work yourself? How did you learn how to do it?
