Also..same site link....Trump Tower condos are going on the market, but no takers.

For some reason, the name Trump is not as lustrous to buyers as it once was.

Moore defender sez 40 years ago men married young girls, so there!

40 years ago was 1977......

in his early thirties, Moore had a penchant for dating teenagers. Apparently, this was not an uncommon occurrence during this time. In fact, this practice has a long history


Snip:
To have a large family, the wife must start having kids when she is young. The husband needs to be well-established and able to support the family, in which case he will typically need to marry when older


Snip:
What’s the big deal about a 32-year-old man courting a 14-year-old girl?
My maternal grandmother was 15 years old when she married and 16 years old when she conceived her first child. Her husband was 41 and 42. They had 10 children during the next 20 years. This was normal back then. I’m sure it was normal in Alabama 40 years ago as well. The age of consent in Alabama even today is 16 (with parental consent


**Moore married at 38, his wife was 24 at the time.

Then he goes on to dismiss the victims, saying that 40 years ago was too long in the past for accurate memories.

Lastly, "even if" the charges are true,
All voting is voting for the lesser of two evils, and it’s almost never wrong to vote for the lesser of the two.
So vote Moore because Doug Jones is EVIL and oks baby killing.

From The Economist: It's all about the sanctions. They go into effect soon.

I like the clear details about the sanctions.
and seeing that Putin is as much of a puppet in Russia as Trump is here.


New sanctions are about to bite, and Russia’s elite are spooked

How Mike Pence is connected to Russia.

Manafort sneakily got Trump to accept Pence as VP, on that infamous day when Manafort lied to Trump about the campaign plane needing repairs, so that Trump had to stay on the ground, and meet with Pence.

Mike Pence's brother, Ed Pence is VP for Cummins, a majority owned Russian state engine company since 1987.

Cummins uses Lobbying firm PPG.

PPG is run by Charles Black

Black was a former partner w/ Manafort in Ukraine PPG worked w/ TRNC as did Flynn.

Pence ignored warnings and got Flynn hired for Trump's Adviser.


More detail of this web, and why Flynn is so important to Mueller's investigation of Manafort and Pence.

Have any of you heard of this problem with a cat?

Our new guy is a year old neutered male. We have his brother also.

Over the past few weeks we have noticed Rocky was lying around a lot, But his brother does same at times, they seem to be copying our dog, they've been around him since they were 6 weeks old.
Since Thanksgiving, tho, he is obviously not using his legs comfortably and prefers to sleep a lot.

appetite good, drinks water, uses litter box, urinates ( we can tell) but wants to lie on a heating pad and/or the hot air floor registers. Doesn't object much to being picked up, but is not liking his right side legs to be felt.

going to vet first thing tomorrow, naturally, but was hoping for a few clues till then.

"Does God have a roll in Thanksgiving?"
