Donald?!

Source: UPI et al.

"Donald is right and I agree with him," Putin said in his annual meeting with reporters. "If the U.S. decided to withdraw its contingent, it has done the right thing. We see no signs of withdraw, but we admit that this is possible, especially since we are moving along the path of a political settlement."

"Donald"? I thought everyone KNEW our chump-in-chief hates to be called "Donald". Putin is just trolling him now in my opinion. He knows what he and his Intelligence agencies have on "Donald" and that "Donald" is scared crapless that it will come out. Add this to the fact that Putin has let his mole (one of them anyway) Maria Butina meet with Mueller and we have "The Donald" screaming at night. Personally, I think its great.

A Question to any participants in the March For Our Lives marches...

I was answering/replying to another thread when something "clicked" in my head. I recall seeing something along these lines in a news article but while writing my comment the question really gelled. I went to Louisville's MFOL rally and was struck by how many older people , like me, were there. Had a few nice conversations but that's beside the point. At Louisville at least we had many many young people, high school and younger and many of us gray heads but not many in between those two "extremes". Very few and I mean VERY FEW 20/30 somethings were in attendance. My main question is : was it same at other events? We had terrible weather here for ours, cold and rain for the whole day but that didn't stop the kids and the grandparents from showing up. Where were the 20/30's?

I guess a secondary question would be, how can we motivate these people to come out?

NO Mr. Carter NO! Has Jimmy lost his mind?

..... I worked a phone bank in Colorado as a volunteer to help him get elected President. I've admired him ever since for the work he does for Habitat for Humanity. I've always had his back when talking about him and his Presidency. But this........ this I cannot stomach. I can only surmise that the Chemo has taken a toll. I am most disillusioned to say the least. NO, Mr. Carter NO! NO the pretender who sits in the oval office does NOT deserve to finish his term. He DOES need to be impeached. He DOES NOT "deserve the benefit of the doubt"!!!!! A sad day for me, especially after the uplifting I got from the MFOL rally yesterday.

"But my own preference would be that he not be impeached, but that he be able to serve out his term, because I think he wants to do a good job. And I'm willing to help him, if I can help him, and give him the benefit of the doubt." From his interview on CBS Sunday Morning. SMH

What is wrong? TLS

Yesterday and today I have been unable to even get to this site due to a "TLS" issue. My browsers Edge, FireFox and even IE 11 just flat out REFUSE to let me come here due to the TLS thing. I'm here on Vivaldi but have no idea how long THAT will last. What's up? Have the owner(s) forgotten to get a certificate signed? I'm at a loss as this is only happening here and well, one other site I must admit.

I've went into Internet Properties and repeatedly checked and unchecked every possible combination there is of the TLS protocols, including unchecking/checking them all. And yes, restarted my browser(s) each time.

As you under attack? Have you forgotten something? I kind of find it hard to believe that its something on my end as it only pertains to this and one other.
