The Presidential Debate: Your Thoughts...

Recommended Posts

 I think thats all speculation nothing of what you said has been proven while Trump has condemned the people who decided to just start building a wall which wasnt very good . 

 

 Im not going to question your health coverage

 

 I am a licensed plumber and business was booming before corona. There was work out there if you were willing to work hard. The rich will always be rich. 

 

there is democrat in this country but none of them are on the current ticket. We have socialist and progressives under the democrat umbrella. Its not like we have had both those parties in our history but there is no way to anything under that flag. Harris i dont know what i would call her maybe the first letter will begin with B. 

 

I agree right wing policies dont help people like you and me. I honestly dont think Trump is a republican. I think he is more like Whig party or just a independent

I'm not a big fan of Biden.  But I'm less of a fan of the Trumpists.  They just seem to be determined to stir up [muck] while not really fixing anything.

The working class has never been the problem.  It wasn't the factory workers that sent production offshore to increase profits.  It was just unfortunate for the poor suckers who helped build the companies and depended on them for their jobs.

 

I'm personally getting by these days.  I was fortunate to have started working at a time when there were still benefits (small pension) for employees.  And social security is still functioning (for now).  I worked for those benefits, doing construction work and then collecting garbage for over 30 years.  (a dirty thankless job - but somebody gots to do it)

But I don't see that for my kids.

 

As for the economy, the recovery actually began under Obama and continued under Trump.  Of course this was after they bailed out the bankers that caused the mess, and then let the working class lose their homes in foreclosure (to said bankers).  Like I said, I'm no fan of the Democratic Party.

 

The violence and looting in the demonstrations is just wrong, and counterproductive.  But to deny that there is racism in our culture you have to have your head stuck up somewhere where it doesn't belong.  As a veteran (which neither candidate is) I am offended by neofascists using the label "Patriot" for themselves.  Wanting to improve our country hardly qualifies as "treason". (although that seems to be what Trump considers anyone not loyal to him personally)

 

I don't even want to go into the climate stuff.

 

Well… It's getting late, and I'm tired.  I'm tired of everything, all this BS.  I'm old enough to know that you can't change people's minds by arguing with them.  So I don't really want to do it.  It's time for this old girl to go to bed.

 

Love all of you people.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
