His Body Behind the Wheel for A Week Before It Was Discovered

Source: New York Times..

10/23/18

A software designer ended his life in his parked car in the East Village. His family asked the police for help finding him, but met resistance.

A neighbor walking his dog in the East Village saw the man one night, sitting motionless behind the wheel inside a parked car. Two days later, he was still there. The windows were up, the engine off -- this during an August heat wave. The neighbor called 911.

Soon the block of East 12th Street was busy with police officers and their bosses, the car roped off with yellow tape. There were no signs of foul play. A team from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner arrived that afternoon, Aug. 31, and removed the body to determine the cause of death. People who lived and worked nearby kept their distance.

Note: This is on the Front Page of the New York Times. I did not make this up. Hit the link, scroll down the page and you will see it... ...........One more paragraph from the article worth a moment to read..

"The chain of events serves as a stark reminder that even in 2018 Manhattan, a city that lives beneath the nonstop gaze of countless surveillance cameras, one that for years has urged its citizens, if they see something suspicious, to say something, it is still possible for a dead man in a parked car on a busy block to go unnoticed for days."

Gorbachev said Sunday that Trump's decision to withdraw from Nuke Treaty.."Not the Work Of A Great Mind"

Hit Link to see entire story..(doesn't seem to be copying) complete story at link..

Odd, a fellow who is 87 years old has more sense then the current President of the United States. Hell, I didn't even know this man was still around. He really is telling the truth.. A story like this is really something. Hats off to Mikhail Gorbachev...

Trump is a liar, total and complete. He even lied about an obvious murder..

People will vote against the Republicans in record numbers, because Trump represents liars and is a liar. He lies about anything and everything. I believe that people are sick of his lies and a strong majority will express this November 6. Yes, he still has support among that base, but most of the country is sick of his lies. His strong base represents 35 percent. The rest of the country is sick of him and his lies. We will see in 17 days.

They Danced and Jumped for Homecoming Weekend, Then the Floor Gave Way

Source: CNN:

As crowded group of Clemson University students and local residents danced and jumped around at an apartment clubhouse late Saturday night, Jeremy Tester felt something strange beneath his feet.

"You could hear the floor about to go through, kind of," he said, "but nobody thought it was going to happen. They just kept going."

But suddenly the floor gave way. Dozens of partiers dropped into free fall and landed in a mass of sprawling bodies in the basement.

This happened yesterday evening..fortunately no deaths reported as of today..Many injuries.

If a friend or relative is a republican, tell them the only way to protest Trump and his lies, is to

vote for democrats. That is the strongest way to protest Trump. ...and then, ..repeat that same argument over and over...change nothing. because...that statement is the truth.

October 20, 2018

When we take the House, we need to investigate Trump as much as they investigated Hillary.

...Use same tactics, same kind of language, except..the evidence proves that Trump did many unlawful things and that Trump is a crook and needs to be removed immediately.

Trump doesn't have a clue...not even a tiny one..

The lies and disregard to many people are coming home. It is like a lying bully at school meets up with someone who has a black belt in self defense. The bully pushes around the smaller much thinner and apparently quiet person, and gets beaten to a pulp by black belt. The bully interpreted Mr. Black Belt's quiet demeanor as weakness. And the bully was sure he could beat Black Belt up.
..Trump thinks he can take a Saudi lie a fly with it. Oh there was a fight and that is how the journalist died.
...So, Trump doubles down on a lie that resulted in the death of a totally innocent person. And most important:
he thinks he can get away with that lie 2 and a half weeks before an election just like he always has.

...Not a thoughtful, honest, caring person..this Mr. Trump. Well, he thinks he can get away with it, as he always does... but the election is in 2 and a half weeks. 17 DAYS TO BE EXACT.....

And...this is a world wide story of murder.. (obvious murder for obvious reasons). And Mr Trump, our President, takes the side of the murderers. And supports their story. Now, he is a world wide liar of major proportions. While he was before, he has stood up, and waved to the world, and said, "I believe the murderers"
...... So he shines the spotlight on himself as always...but this one is totally foolish and stupid. A little like Columbus starting his journey and Trump standing on the shore yelling out as loud as he can...
.."Poor Mr. Columbus, he and his 3 ships are going to fall off the earth because it is flat and there is an edge..too bad. And I am sure there is an edge..Mr. Columbus will never return because he will fall off the edge"

Is Trump the "Supidest Person" ever to become President of the United States?

Or is it most ignorant?..or both?..

He said this today, "Trump threatens military action if Mexico doesn't stop immigration 'onslaught'

How stupid is this?...

According to 538, Trump's approval is at 42.6 per cent,- disapproval 52.1 per cent

Take a look. 538 combines a number of polls to get this number. (updated October 17,)

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.
