The main job of the vice-president is to take over if the president

dies or becomes too disabled to remain president. Rice is the best one suited for the job.

If we don't do what needs to be done about climate change,

nothing else will matter in 50 to 100 years. Yes, we do need to make other changes now for the betterment of all our lives, more so for some than others, but without doing everything possible about climate change humans will not become extinct but those that are left will have miserable lives. We have 13 great-grandchildren and I worry what are their lives going to be like.

We use one credit card for just about everything.

It is a cashback card that we pay off every month. Every February we get a check for between $1,000 and $1,200 dollars. Why would we want to pay cash? Also if you have a problem with a product you just bought it is easier to get a replacement and we have even had the credit card company take it off our bill because the company we bought it from did not act in good faith.

The kids handled him quite well.

I liked it when they started saying okay okay and laughed at what he was saying.

Joseph Stalin - "If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy.

if millions die, that's only statistics. He is not the first person to use that type of analogy. Mother Teresa once said, "If I look at the masses, I will never act.". What they are saying is the human mind can feel pity for one person dying or two or three, but as the total keeps on increasing it is afraid that feeling pity for so many people they will be overwhelmed.

I have to go with Susan Rice.

The things the Republicans will use against her are worn out. Sure trump's followers will love it, but I don't think it would get him more votes.

This isn't a war to save our country you stupid s***.

It's about 10s of thousands of people dying because of you.

Not before the election, it would look too political.

After the election, there would not be enough to complete it. If he is reelected then yes, over and over and over again.

Nothing with eating horses.

I never have, but my husband was born during WWII. His aunt worked at a meat company. She told us that during the war some times her company sold more horse meat than beef. Remember, rotisserie cats, but dogs make a better stew.

SCI - Sensitive Compartmented Information

Both my husband and I were in the military, not at the same time, and we both worked for the NSA. Both of our military records are still flagged because we worked with sensitive Intelligence. My husband's records were flagged on October 4, 1964, 55 1/2 years ago and they are still flagged. The last time he asked for his records was January 2020 and they are still flagged.
