    I hope you'll reach out
    We're waiting for you to stop spewing hate and start spending your time helping others... be the leader for once! And no, re-posting spam on social media while pretending to do charity isn't "helping."

    Isn't it hilarious when the Reichtards like Pearl try to defend the Toadstool by calling Bill Clinton a "sexual predator"? Maybe Pearl should take Toxic's pompous advice and pretend to do some charity work himself. Tis the season and all that.

    So what are you doing to help those in your community during this holiday season... seeing as though you believe (incorrectly, btw) that the "evil" government has "abandoned them"?

    Of course they read our brilliant, informative, educational posts since they want to know what we erudite posters are saying.
    They are tutorial and are free. I charged 90 dollars per hour in college.
    Please tell the PP story.

    So, Mujer de Buho, you don’t read my posts?

    Anecdotal but I contribute my entire FAA retirement (minus taxes) to Catholic Charities.

    My esposa helps distribute the food that is prepared daily.

    What do you do, Mujer de Buho?

    Feel free to continue reading my and TOP’s brilliant posts. They are free.

    https://www.washingtontimes.com › news › jan › clinton-global-initiative-l...
    Jan 16, 2017 - Clinton Global Initiative to shut down, lays off 22 as donations dry up .... That shows a lot of people that this was more than just a charity.

    Pay to play depends on the influence that the players provide. When they are out of power, the pay goes away.

    I did hear that Crooked Hillary has a gig in Minot, N.D., paying 75 dollars with all the crow that she can eat...free.

    Hello evince,

    Right on!

    That's fabulous.

    Most people are good. It's true.

    I learned that from driving. When I was immature I used to treat driving like a competition. I didn't want to get cut off from making a lane change so I would pick my spot and move over quickly, signalling as I went. But I realized that's not legal. You're supposed to signal first, then move over. The reason I wasn't doing that is because I was afraid people would see the signal and speed up to cut me off. I decided to try signalling first, as an experiment. Yes, some people will speed up to cut you off. MOST people will let you in. That's when I knew most people are good.

    And ya gotta know that the ones who would speed up to cut you off? You don't want them behind you anyway. They are just as likely to be tailgaters. It's dangerous to have a discourteous driver with an attitude behind you. Better to let them go. They are willing to be foolish and dangerous in return for minimal, sometimes negligible, gains in traffic. They needlessly risk lives. Best to have some distance between yourself and such fools.
