According to a Gallup poll taken in May, 40% of Americans believe in Ghosts, the article I read began with "If you say you saw a ghost, 40% of Americans will believe you.
So, first, do you believe in Ghosts, and second, have you ever experienced one, if so, please share it with us.
I've got to go run some errands so I will have to share my own experience later. I can tell you I was skeptical until I had an experience that made me a believer.

Assume debt, (sure, debt is high, but you don't even have to make payments).
Doesn't run, badly needs to be cleaned and refurbished, but previous owner monetized it to the tune of billions.
If you are OK with taking money from your children and grandchildren, this is an unbelievable bargain, act fast!

I'll admit that I didn't even know who she was untill my wife dragged me to see Wicked", but I read a news story titled "Ariana Grande has a question for American voters", and it's a damn good question: The singer reposted a list of questions to her 373 million Instagram followers first posted by podcast host and makeup artist Matt Bernstein.
Since Trump had now been in office for 250 days, the question was: following ICE raids on immigrants, anti-trans commentary, and attacks on free speech, would Trump voters say their life had improved?
Has life got any better since Donald Trump was returned to the White House?
“Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down?”
“Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”
Do any Trump voters have an answer?

It's about an hour long, I challenge any Trump supporter to watch it and then try to tell us that man is fit to be President. Anybody have the balls to do that?

To everyone left and right, the assassination of Charlie Cook is a tragedy, but to Trump, it’s a welcomed opportunity to invoke anger and deepen the divide in the “us/them” siege mentality he has created. He is exploiting the opportunity, for his two favorite things, money and revenge, he is raking in unorecedented donations and he’s vowing to go after “the radical left”, and “groups that contributed to this atrocity and other political violence”. This assassin played right into Trump’s little hands, and Trump will use his violent rhetoric to insure the violence increases, and that it is aimed at his opponents.
There has been a lot of condemnation of those who are cheering it, but frankly, I haven’t actually seen anyone cheering or gloating about this. There has certainly been nothing like the joyous celebrational way that Trump and his MAGA followers responded to the maniac who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer, there has been no jubilant reveling with mocking conspiracies about nudity and gay lovers. The MAGA insistence that the left is cheering Charlie Kirk’s death is about like Trump’s assertion that he saw Muslims in the streets of New York cheering the 911 disaster, a typical MAGA lie to create outrage at the people they hate.
Biden, Obama, both Bush’s, Clinton, all of our previous presidents would be consoling the country and presenting a healing, unifying message, but Trump lacks the empathy to even understand anything less anger and hatred, and the only thing he knows how to express his vow to go after the "radical left.", he wants to be seen as a warrior, not a conciliator, he’s a populist, and populists dwell on anger, Trump crafts his follower’s rage like an artist, and he sees Charlie Kirks death as an opportunity, nothing more.
We are told “the radical left” killed Charlie Kirk, and Trump and his MAGA people are vowing violent revenge against the “groups” on the left who are responsible. This is all predictable, and it is a bald-faced lie. The assassin, Tyler Robinson was not a democrat, he has never had any affiliation with any left “groups”, he has registered as unaffiliated, hasn’t voted, but friends and neighbors say they thought he was an avowed Trump supporter. In 2017 he dressed as Trump for Halloween, and his grandmother has said that the entire family are Republican, and that they don’t even know a single democrat.
Tyler Robinson’s hatred and violence were developed in the pressure cooker of right-wing vitriol of their own self-created media echo chamber; he lived in lie-filled and toxic MAGA universe and that is what killed Charlie Kirk, the left had nothing to do with it.
This horrible act, and many others like it, are a direct result of the hate mongering and violent rhetoric that the right has been engaging in for years now. Trump and his far-right fascist allies have worked hard to empower and normalize a dangerous set of antisocial, anti-civil, retrograde and anti-democratic values and beliefs, creating an environment where political violence is seen as an acceptable way to accomplish ideological goals. His speech condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk, was the ultimate hypocrisy from the man who sent his followers on a murderous rampage into the capital on Jan 6th, calling them heroes, patriots, and of course pardoning all of them while characterizing their vicious attack as a day of love.
In the sharp difference in his response to the killing of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman, he is explicitly encouraged the public to apply a partisan lens to the value of human life. He has excused right wing terrorism as justified because it is “fighting crime” and called on his base to avenge Kirk’s death with violence against the left. In context, it’s easy to see how right-wing extremists could reasonably expect political violence against the left to be appreciated and even pardoned.
The dramatic increase in political violence is a direct result of Trump’s vitriolic rhetoric and glorification of violence. That is what killed Charlie Kirk, it was not the “left”, it was Donald Trump and his MAGA movement.

Desperate to look like a tough guy as the whole world laughs at him, Trump has made a military strike against a small Venezuelan boat with no evidence whatsoever that it involved drugs, gangs, or any other reason to strike it in international waters, which is an act of war either way. To which, JD Vance stated he "doesn't give a shit if it was a war crime".
In a post yesterday Trump threatened war with Chicago LOL, here is the President's actual post..
I don't think there's any way to get the rest of the world to stop laughing at him, but at least, maybe we should stop worrying why he is protecting pedophiles before he sets the entire world on fire.

Donald Trump's disastrous governance has successfully tanked America's labor market, the economy only added 22,000 jobs in August, meaning there are more unemployed people than there are jobs. 1.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also revised down the numbers from June to show there was negative job growth for the first time since...well, since the last time Trump tanked the economy.
Time to fire people over at BLS AGAIN, for the crime of telling the truth, which is strictly verboten in this administration.

Cracker Barrell has changed their logo causing the worst MAGA Snowflake meltdown since the Great Mr. Potatohead Crisis of 2021.
The company has also announced menu changes to enhance the brand. New items on the menu include Woke Waffles, He/She Hashbrowns, Gay Grits, and Scrambled Gender Eggs, and introducing Trans Thursdays, featuring half price discounts for men wearing women’s clothes on Thursdays.
Donald Trump said, “For years it has been known that Cracker Barrel’s biscuits are a gateway food to becoming a Drag Queen, and their meatloaf has always been made of people’s pet cats and dogs.”
Sydney Sweeny and Kid Rock vowed to never eat there again, and Lindsey Graham was quoted as saying, “Whoa, Gay Grits sound awesome”.

To appease Trump’s YUGE ego, GOP sycophants have made great efforts to flatter the incumbent president.
What do you think, is he deserving of any or all of these”
The list includes:
• A bill to create a $250 bill that would feature Trump’s face.
• A similar bill that would put Trump’s face on $100 bills.
• A bill to make Trump’s birthday a federal holiday.
• A bill to carve Trump’s face into Mount Rushmore.
• A bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.
• A bill to name the Washington, D.C., subway system after Trump and his MAGA slogan.
• A bill to name the Kennedy Center after Trump.
• A bill to amend the Constitution to let Trump (but not Obama) run for a third term.
• Efforts to nominate and bring pressure on the Nobel Prize Committee for not one, but two Nobel Prizes.
I’m particularly interested in the input of our MAGA folks, if you think any or all of these are justified, please explain.

I can't seem to create an avatar, I follow the same process from Deate.org, in my profile it seems to work, but it disappears when I leave the profile page.
Looks like everybody else has figured it out, what am I doing wrong?
