An interesting comparison. Does it make sense?

...I was just playing a game called, "Spider Solitaire. I was one card away from progressing along on that game, but that particular card was no where to be found. I looked in all the spots around, and finally decided to restart that game, and try again moving the cards differently. So, I tried again. Same result, no progress with that game again. Stuck. I can start a new game, which might work. Or wait a while. Then try a new game. It was the end of the road on that particular formula/game. So I am waiting awhile and starting again soon.
...I didn't win that game, but I have won many before. But waiting will help me regain strength to try again and win. I am honest. (most of the time) I try my best. Waiting for awhile looks like the best bet. I don't want to wait, but I have to. I want to win the game now!!!
...Is that it? Yes, I have to wait awhile and maybe tomorrow play that game again. Sometimes that is the best we can do for whatever reasons there are. I will try that game tomorrow. Yes, I think that is what life often is. Wait awhile and try again.
...I love politics. I follow politics closely and wish for the very best outcome. In 2008 and 2012 the politics that I love.. won. Very happy with an honest, reliable fellow who won for the U.S.A. But now, I have to wait awhile. I don't want to wait, but that is the way politics is played. I have watched this game for over half a century. Yes, there are actions I can do now, but the most important game will not be played for awhile. I have to wait. I don't want to wait, but I have to. I want to win the game now.!!! I am mad that I cannot win the game now, and that I have to wait. I don't like the way my opponents are playing the game now. Our rivals won a couple of years ago, I want to change the situation NOW. I don't want to wait, but I have to. Does this make sense to you? Time to take a short break... Thanks for reading this...

Circulation of Lindon Ala Newspaper 3000.- Total town population - 2000

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2015/08/03/weekly-newspaper-woes/31080825/

Like a neighborhood paper. It wouldn't be noticed at all. Publisher was looking for national publicity and he got it. Now, I don't know a thing about the paper, but I found this article in Google Search. It said that the circulation was once 7000, but now down to 3000. I don't know if it is twice a week or once a week. The story implied it was once a week.

..I guess it would compare to a small town radio station with an afternoon talk show. So the talk show host talks about the Klan and etc, etc, etc. So that talk show host would get as much publicity as a dog taking a poop in a local park. But someone picked this up and now it is nation wide news. Just want you to know some of the facts..."Just the facts, sir, Just the Facts "

A very strange way that Trump could get some positive comments from many people.

......If Mr. Trump could shut up four 4 or 5 days. No tweeting and no comments of any kind. And if asked, he just says..I am taking time off from comments. (assuming no real emergency)
.....Say 5 days....It would be a nice rest for everyone. It might work. (of course he wont do this) Of course, he is still an asshole..but for a while, a quiet one.

Change in the way we see news. The internet, makes it instant, what are consequences?

...Within the last hour or so, or less, there has been a crash at Daytona Speedway. You can see it ,if you want at some link. This is not about that. This is about the instant communication and presentation of events. There was a time within the last 25 years, you had to wait for the news to be presented. Maybe for a news show, or an interruption for "Breaking News" Yes, they networks "broke into programs" for news.

In the 60s video tape was invented and used for newscasts. A change took place sometime afterwards. Gradually the change became .."instant" An example is this crash above. Almost instantly, within a few moments, the video of the crash was seen everywhere if you wished to see it. How long did it take?..10 minutes, or five minutes?..I don't know.

..For me, the news changed totally, on 9/11. I did not own a computer. I was at the library using one of their computers going from site to site for whatever reasons. I got there at 9am to get one. So that is what I did. And then, someone says turn to this link/station and I see this building on fire. A commentator was saying that there was an attack on the U.S.A. and that was one of the places. I think there were 4 computers at the library then, maybe six. There was a huge tv hooked up near the main entrance and everyone was standing there watching the event. The way news is brought to us had changed forever. Instead of waiting now, we see it instantly, if we want.

...Most of the time, instant news is not necessary. News junkies like me, often think it is, but it isn't. I like it but it is not necessary, unless some event is indeed threatening to one's existence. For example, a tornado or hurricane is coming. Get out of there, or get total protection. That is very important. Avoid this crash site if you can, the radio says. ok. Sometimes the instant nature of the news, and analysis presented here and everywhere makes us think that this is very necessary. That is something I have been thinking about.
I do not have an answer. I sure do like knowing about it right away, but I do I need to know right away?

.. This is a Discussion forum. What do you think? About knowing the news instantly, and our discussions about it? ...I hope this does not offend anyone in any way. I am just going to look at the answers to this, and read what you think..Thank You.

Bottom line..If what Schiff says is true, then it is a matter of time, Mueller will get Trump

"Evidence in plain site, of Trump Collusion with Russia?"

That could be the most important post that we have..Why? If Schiff says this, and it is true, then Mueller will get the whole gang. I honestly don't know, the legal definition of "collusion." but Schiff knows..

Don Viejo, posted this in latest news.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142268351

And if the above is true, and the evidence will stand up in court (as I suspect, but don't know) then it is just a matter of time. When? It is not up to me, that is up to Mueller. Mueller has arrested and convicted the top of the gangs before, and he will do it again. Mueller is not new at this. He has help of the best team around. It appears to me, that he is getting one crook at a time, with the willingness to testify at the higher ups.

If Schiff is correct, then Mueller has seen the proof too.
...It is no longer .."if"...it is now....."when."

So let's be patient. Mueller will get Trump, one way or another, but he will get him

This one word clearly defines Mr.Trump.."selfishness"

from Wikipedia:

Selfishness is being concerned excessively or exclusively, for oneself or one's own advantage, pleasure, or welfare, regardless of others. Selfishness is the opposite of altruism or selflessness; and has also been contrasted with self-centeredness

Trump and "The Picture"..

There is a picture floating around, and we all have seen it. It looks like Mr. Trump is putting something on his sandwich, and he is talking to the guy behind the counter. He is not dressed well and he does not look well. He is at the Trump National Golf Club Mar a Lago

...But, The Picture is all over, and I guess if it is all over here, it is all over .."everywhere." As he is maligned and made fun of, as is happening all over the U.S.A., I sure hope he doesn't do anything rash or irresponsible as result of "The Picture" making rounds everywhere. While it sure isn't a "flattering picture" it goes with the territory. People take pictures of the President of the U.S.A. anytime he is in view of anyone.

..There is a picture of Bush Jr. looking out of a plane at the hurricane, and he appears "lost" too. Kinda, like he didn't know what was going on as he looks out.

...And Mr. Trump makes fun of anybody or everybody, he doesn't like or doesn't agree with. It is obvious that he enjoys making fun of people..

..Other presidents have not faired well with pictures. But it goes with the territory. Someone had a camera and took a picture. It isn't even a new idea. I just hope that Mr. Trump manages to deal with it rationally.

Stephen Miller, the man behind the Wall, and Family Separation

Is this man at the heart of Trump's attitude about immigration?
We need to know more about him, if he is setting policy in the White House, and he is not going to leave in my opinion. Anyone here with more info on this fellow?


And someone Trump listens to. worth the time to read. From The Atlantic:

One aspect: Significance of this "wall thing"

..So, Trump puts all of his image, power of influence, intelligence, "presidential authority" etc. on building this .."wall."... Press Conferences, special orders, "National Emergency"..etc.

..So..of all the problems that this nations faces, Trump through the use of his time and influence places this at the top...It shows Donald Trump has no sense of "priorities" about a what is important to this country at this moment. Consequently, this almost proves he needs to be removed due to his total lack of ability to prioritize what is important to this country.
