Carl Reiner,"I am 96 years old, I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime" (You Tube) 1 min, 29 sec.

One thought to keep in mind, Rob Reiner, Carl's son, knows how to make a 90 second commercial. This is a brilliant ad and it catches you right away. Not too long, easy to understand. all about "lies." I posted this version because for some, You Tube might be easier to get to and watch..(it was for me) This was originally posted by dflprincess yesterday in the General Discussion forum

Iraq War deaths and wounded.....
_______________________________________________________________________________________
As of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of the Iraq War.

Lancet survey 601,027 violent deaths out of 654,965 excess deaths ....2003 - 2005

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

Credible estimates of Iraq War casualties range from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 (per the Iraq Family Health Survey) to 461,000 total deaths as of June 2011 (per PLOS Medicine 2013), over 60% of them violent.[1] Other disputed estimates, such as the 2006 Lancet study and the 2007 Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey—which likely overestimate mortality—put the numbers as high as 655,000 total deaths as of June 2006 (over 90% of them violent) and 1.2 million violent deaths as of August 2007 respectively. Meanwhile, body counts—which likely underestimate mortality—put the numbers as low as 110,600 violent deaths as of April 2009.[1]

7 Strange Facts about "Candy Corn"

https://www.cnn.com/2014/10/28/living/candy-corn-facts/index.html

Yes, for over 60 years..??? this has been my absolute favorite food/candy/nash/treat/etc. When I see the picture, I want to go and get a HUGE 2 POUND BAG...AND...eat it all ..Now you may not like this food, so you and millions of others don't have to buy them. But later today, I think I will buy a bag, no matter what...

_______________________________________________________________________
(CNN) — Yes, there's actually corn in it. Corn syrup, if that counts.

Each kernel has three colors, about 7 calories and a lot of sugar. Many people, including comedian Lewis Black, can't stand it.

And yet every October, it fills candy bowls, trick-or-treat bags and the mouths of sweet-toothed snackers everywhere. For millions, it wouldn't be Halloween without candy corn.

Each year, manufacturers produce more than 35 million pounds of the humble tricolored candy - almost 9 billion pieces. And now, one brewery has introduced - in a chilling Halloween twist - candy corn beer.

Here are some things you may not know about the polarizing confection.

."The Real Enemy of the People" is Mr. Donald Trump.

................Trump doesn't give a damn about the rules that govern this nation.
................... Here is one of strongest and most important of those rules:

............................"Amendment 1, The United States Constitution":

....... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


......Trump attacks the media, the press, and individuals in the media. Trump has said that the media is the enemy because it is critical of him. Those who know our history, know who the real "Enemy of the People" is. The real "Enemy of the United States of America" is Donald Trump. Trump is "evil personified"

Donald Trump is "The True Enemy of the People."

About Trump's arrogant attitude and language. I believe this: Mueller will get him.

... It may take more time than we wish. It may be different than we wish. I have said it before and I will say it again. "Mueller will get him" When? When it is a totally solid case. Why? Because Trump's crowd thinks it is above the law, and they have broken the law. Who is smarter, Trump or Mueller?
... Now Mueller has gotten other crooks and other gangs. Especially upsetting is Trump's belief that he can say and do whatever he wants and whenever he wants. That goes for his gang too.
...I watched Nixon go down. We are watching Trump go down. Yes, it will take time. The arrogance and above the law attitude is ultimately what gets Trump. It is exactly what got Nixon.
...The New York information that is coming out shows how arrogant Trump and his crew are. Trump's crew thinks it can get away with anything. And say anything. That is exactly what Nixon thought. ("I am not a crook", remember that one?.)
It took time with Nixon, and it will take time with Trump. Be patient In the end, Mueller will get him.

A prediction about the upcoming election on November 6.. one sentence about Trump.

If Republicans loose big on November 6, Trump will deny any and all responsibility for the loss.

October 26, 2018

2 Sentences that will sway people against voting Republican this time..

After all Trump is the Republican leader.. He represents them all..

(it may not last forever, but it will last till November 6..) Yes it will last for 12 day through the election.!!! and these 7 words will convince some (no one know how many) not to vote for Republicans this time
______________________________________________________________
Reporter: "Will you call Obama and the Clintons" [after the pipe bombs]?

Trump: "They wanted me to, but we’ll pass."

___________________________________________________________________________

We get into discussions about Republicans vs Democrats all the time. These 2 sentences define Trump. Will other Republicans criticize him for these 2 sentences?. Not likely.. Am I correct that calling Obama and the Clintons would have showed respect for previous Presidents? A sense of reaching out? for "unity" .....but ...
...................7 WORDS DEFINE TRUMP.......................................

Trump: "They wanted me to, but we'll pass."

_________________________________________________________________

Yes, this will change some minds for this election. Please pass these words on to those who may vote for us, or have not decided...A decent leader of the United States of America, without hesitation, would call previous Presidents whose lives were threatened. Think about it.
..... This will work, and most of us see the total selfishness in those 7 words. You mean Trump doesn't have the time to call previous Presidents and their families that were threatened by a bomb?

Yes, that one thought will convince some not to vote for Trump's party this time. Or, if they were going to vote for Trump's party, to stay at home.... or..to change their vote to the Democratic Party for this election.. We have been looking for something that will change people's minds..............Well there it is: Trump's 7 words..

...............Reporter: Will you call the Obamas and the Clintons..(after the pipe bombs)
..................Trump: "They wanted me to, but we'll pass"

2 positive aspects of these events

1. Right wing radicals exposed for what they really are. Violent vicious thugs who are willing to hurt and
kill opponents .
2. Nobody at this point in time, has been hurt by these bombs sent through the mail.

October 26, 2018

No matter what Trump says about the capture of the bomber, he will look like a total fool.

He already looks like a fool, but whatever comments he makes in a couple of hours, he will look stupider. Trump and his rhetoric is the cause of this. Everyone knows that. Stations all over the world will replay his vicious attacks on those he opposes. Trump has made these attacks countless times, day after day. That is what is at the center of all of this. What can he say? Trump's record is totally clear to everyone.

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.
