A friend and I have discussed, Trump will move to Russia .."permanently"...

...At first I thought it was kind of odd, but now I see the positive side for Trump.
.....1. No worry about media or press.
.....2. He has enough money to live a "good life in Russia" whatever that is ?
.....3. No law suits that he will ever need to worry about.
.....4. No criminal charges in Russia that he needs to worry about
.....5. While law suits will be placed against Trump, Trump will not need to defend them.(in Russia)
.....6. Never any worry about answering any questions about the "Virus Disaster"...see #1
.....7. While it won't be pretty, easy enough to do. Just take the President's Plane to Russia for a visit,
and stay there...
.....8 Most important: If you think that Trump has not thought about seriously doing this, then I do believe that the idea that Trump is a , total con artist, ..is not secure up there in your head. Yes, Trump is a total con artist who will do anything, anytime, to get his way..(and will say anything anytime well, and Trump also believes that he can gat away with anything...including moving to Russia to avoid dealing with what he doesn't want to deal with..

Most Horrific and Powerful Movie ever made..32 minutes... Night and Fog...

Night and Fog...documentary...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048434/?ref_=tt_sims_tt

The Most Powerful Film Ever Made (I wrote this review in 2004..still holds true today, Dec 6, 2020)
stuartpiles16 November 2004


If you want to describe or give your audience a feeling for the holocaust, or "Man's Inhumanity To Man", then this is the vehicle to use..Show it..be warned, it is so powerful, that you will never forget what you see, neither will any of your viewers..It is impossible to describe, intermixing l955 footage of Auchwitz Concentration Camp, with captured Nazi footage which the allies found at the end of the war, and the scenes of American and British troops liberating the camps...In French, with English subtitles.. and scenes that are unforgettable and horrific. Even the sad music of death from this film plays in my ears, and I have not seen it in 15 years. Once you hear it, you will know.

This is the one to show if you want people to understand the truth of what happened and the reason for its reaction in today's current events....It is shocking in a special way. I showed it to my classes. Students were warned, and told what was coming, they said it would be "nothing" By the end some were crying and moaning in horror...

I thought I hated Nixon, (still do) but I hate Trump much more..

Nixon was a minor crook as they say. (wiretaps, lying, associates lying, erasing tapes, etc.) Trump is a certified killer. Total incompetence that caused death. That is it, and that is all.

About "Wearing a Mask"..will become as common as.."Putting On A Seatbelt:

Yes, When you get into a car, you put it on. It saves lives. Many true stories about that....

Mask wearing will be exactly the same. Awful, petty, ugly....but,................

It saves lives...!!!!!...

.....I remember arguing in a high school class (in late 80s) that I taught, about .....wearing a seatbelt...

This was long before it became a law in almost all states....(?).

Now, you just do it...same with masks...Everyone will just ....do it..It will become part of the deal...

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.
