Good News about a hobby of mine..I grow trees inside my home.

Now, I have 3 trees. Two are six feet, and one is seven feet tall. A bunch of other plants too. Now, to make it very simple, these plants did not start out as trees. About 20 years ago, a neighbor gave me, a tiny plant with 2 leaves maybe two inches tall. She said it was an orange plant taken from a seed. It was a cute and little plant, so now it really is 7 feet tall, and since I have seen "orange trees" in Florida, yes it is an orange tree..Never had any flowers but it is a tree in my living room.
..Two other trees from tiny plants. These were Schefflera plants. Pretty small, also 3 or 4 inches tall. Now both are six feet tall trees. Trees are trees and I have always liked walking in forests with trees. I never did expect to have 3 trees growing in my home, but that is what has resulted from my hobby with "plants."
..I have been spraying the orange tree with water every day or so, and am giving it more sun than it has had. I will let you know if it flowers. Yes, I talk to the trees from time to time. Sure, I am nuts, but there are worse things than talking to trees that you grew from tiny plants. Oh, did I say, "I like trees?"

What is truly disgusting about Donald Trump is he is a classic "bully."

...He orders people around, and insults those who will not follow. He has a following as bullies do, but that following is limited to certain people who like his "style." The majority of us hate the "bully" because of many reasons that have nothing to do with being a bully. He is full of hate and spews it often when his mouth is open. He uses others to further the hate. He is unkind in a way that hard to imagine. And like all bullies, he never stops. Trump has a lifetime of being a bully, and seems to enjoy being the bully...
.....Trump may not know it, but his time is going to end a year from now, or perhaps sooner. When he is gone, we can breath fresh air again. At least his stink will be gone most of the time. He may show up here and there, but he will not be the leader he is now. We will all be able to "choose" when or "if" to watch and listen to his hate and stupidity. Those days cannot come soon enough. Currently, his job deserves attention, but in the future he will be "has been" and most will avoid him like the plague.

Trump lies about everything and anything. And, families teach their children not to lie.

...At least to family members: "Don't lie." Yet, Trump lies about everything and anything. So the GOP backs him up. Some won't run next year and one or two may take a stand against him, but Trump is a pathological liar. And, he has proven that to everyone. He has defined his political party in a way that most members do not want to be defined: "Trump's lies" Republicans are liars.
..So when people went to vote yesterday, a lot of them voted against the liars. Trump could apologize for the lies, (sure,and there will be freezing weather at the equator ). or he can continue doing what he has always done: continue to lie about everything. When he does the latter, he insures he will lose next November.
WHY? People don't like a president who lies about everything and anything.

Question raised in another thread, Will Rudy take a bullet for Boss Trump"

..I wonder. Would he do an unselfish act and take a bullet for Boss Trump.
... Or protect himself at all costs. (like Trump will)

Idea came from this thread. :started by riversedge:

About Epstein. What did he know that might cause others to want to cause him great harm?

...That is the bottom line, there is no more. At this time it does appear to be suicide. But did Epstein have some experiences, (whatever those might be) that might cause others to want do him harm? I do not know, but that is the question. How could some kind of harm happen to him in prison? Why? Who would benefit? Why would those who would benefit take that chance?.. There are no clear answers, other than, it was suicide. There is no more.

It is all about timing. I think Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff have a plan.

...I think that the plan encompasses all possibilities. Why? Because that is what any pair of bright people would do if our nation's existence is at stake. Maybe a couple of more are helping on the plan. These two people are a lot smarter and experienced than the entire Trump gang. They know what is at stake. Perhaps, just perhaps, they have consulted with Mr. Obama who is exceptional in his experience and knowledge. We wouldn't know except that Pelosi, Schiff, and Obama, know what is at stake. I have trust in the three to do the best for our nation. If you were in charge, wouldn't you work with the previous President ? Perhaps some others are working on the plan. I will leave it up to the two of them, because I believe they know what is at stake. The two of them care more about our country in their hands, than the entire Trump gang has in all of its entire being.

What has Donald Trump done that proves he loves this country?

Is that asking too much? I feel that he cares only about himself. Perhaps an example can be given. I have none.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
