Why I believe Trump will leave quietly a few days before, and no problem at all..

...Here is why: Trump being carried out of the White House by force will be forever his legacy. He can argue he
tried to stop the pandemic, but he cannot argue that he was correct not to leave the White House...
...Those live pictures about being carried out will be the key to Donald Trump..played everywhere in.............. the world. More important, questions about being carried out will be what he is asked forever. No that is not what Trump wants..
So, it is clear he is already preparing to leave without a problem and get he is getting his talking points
together for his post president interviews. Yes, he wants and needs those interviews and the book that follows because that is his total nature and his personality

. Donald Trump doesn't want every interview to start with, "Why didn't you leave peacefully?"
....So, he will leave peacefully, and perhaps he will go to Florida ahead of time, and just stay there. Not New York but Florida where he is comfortable...

....Warning:...I could be completely wrong and it wouldn't be the first time or the last time. Today is mid-December, so this is what I think will happen on Jan 20...as I have said before:

"Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men, The Shadow Knows."

Suggestion for spending 2 hours with family & friends-Watch: "Singin In The Rain"

....Yes, Everyone will enjoy this movie, even if you have seen it before..... (rated G for everyone)
If some in your group have never seen this film, they will be in for a wonderful surprise & treat.

...Get some popcorn, cookies and other treats and enjoy one of the greatest movie experiences ever!!!! Lots of people haven't even heard of this movie because it is a bit mature...(I use the word ..".mature" ..instead of the "O" word)..I think you can get it at any library that has a movie collection to lend out. Total Fun... Positive Ending..Also the entire film may be (I don't know, on the internet for free)...........................
......Originally released in movie theaters on April 11, 1952........Enjoy and this film is Fun to Watch!!!!

I have come up with an idea to keep from losing things around the house...

Here is the idea and the steps needed to complete the idea and never lose things again.

1...Pick a table. Any table around the house will do as long as it is easy to see this table, and then clear the top of the table from all stuff. (Yes, it can be the only table that has no stuff on it, and that is OK}

2...From now on this table is named.....Losing Things Table...or ..LTT... for short

3. Decide what you do not want to lose. This can be a scissors, a bill, a picture, a ruler, a
shirt, cards, old notes, ear phones, etc. etc. etc....This is the key step, say to yourself
("I don't want to lose this thing." or say it out loud....)

4. Place the thing on the LTT and say, "I don't want to lose this thing"

5. Reminder: This is a special table (your pick) and on top of this table are things you do not want to lose.

Other tables can have lots of stuff, but this one has those things that you don't want to lose. You want to be able to find these things right away and not lose them. Other tables can have their stuff, but this one has stuff that you do not want to lose..(Yes, I said that twice)

6. By putting those things on top of this special LTT, the process of doing this will keep you from losing this particular "thing", whatever thing that is

7. Give this method a try, and if it doesn't work, that is ok too. Remember:....this could work and help a
you from losing things around the house.
Also, it might NOT work,... so what is the problem?

......You tried an easy solution to an old problem and it did not work. So what?..You did NOT have to buy book to get this possible solution, and you did not have to read lots of pages.

This is simple, easy to do, can be easily tried, costs nothing, and might work..
.Also, since it is cheap and very easy to do, it can be
tried by the whole family if people are willing to give it a try. Or, you can have a LTT in each room
of the house. Tables are cheap. They can be bought at yard sales.

Tables can be big or small, tall or short
They can be any color you want, and this idea might work, so give it a try.
...............................That is all I have on this particular subject.......................................

One rule for nation leadership will solve the world's problems.

...It will never get passed because it screws a whole lot of people, but those people have already
proved that they cannot lead this world. Let this other group lead for a couple of hundred years and
the world will be a friendlier, better, and more livable place. Very kind and very motivated place.
The key word will be ...."COOPERATION".......
...Of course this rule will never be passed, but that is why I put it up in the lounge. It goes beyond
any solution ever that has been tried in the past and will work. All nations must follow this rule and
the world will slowly improve and evolve...And..........I am not the first person to discuss this rule.
This rule is not a new idea, and has been discussed often throughout history...So what is this simple rule?

____________________________________________________________________________________

"ALL LEADERS OF ALL NATIONS MUST HAVE HAD AT LEAST 1 BABY IN A LIVE BIRTH"

...That is it, and that is all of it. Having a baby must be an unusual experience, & I would be excluded,
because I am a man, and men cannot have babies by definition. That would mean all leaders would be
women who have had at least one baby....Having a baby grow inside of you, and holding that baby after
birth must be one of the most wonderful experiences on earth. That person is your baby & your child for
life, and you automatically love that baby. He/she grew inside and is now alive for a new life. There is
LOVE FOR THAT BABY...and that experience will define and change the world. Over time the world
will understand caring and communicating with others in a way that is unheard of today. Most leaders
are men who have not had this experience. (Yes, in the last 50 year, this has changed for the better)
Women who have had babies will have a different outlook on life, and they will change and improve
the world in ways that cannot be even thought about. Those improvements will be incredible and
not be reversed.............................................................................

...........OH...DON'T WORRY....THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!........................
.....This was a thought this morning and that thought will be soon lost in a pile of stuff that is in line to be taken care of...OH WAIT.....I put it out there on Democratic Underground...This one will not be lost. It will stay for eternity..Oh well..back to the list of things that need to be done for today..

If you have got this far,....Thank You for reading this, and a hattip for you for doing so.. Again, This is not a new idea, others have discussed this for hundreds of years. (perhaps more!)

They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.

They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids."

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.
