It's not his fault...they keep putting dumb stuff on the teleprompter...Democrat sabotage, maybe? 

Yes they do...you are 100% wrong on that one...this is simply one example.

Through my job I can attest that many folks get free housing, free cell phones, free food, free daycare,and free healthcare.  I think that would qualify as "free stuff".  Now, I'm not one of these people that thinks that all of these services should be disbanded, with the poor left to starve in the streets, but there is gross abuse of these programs, and a major overhaul is needed.

though they are only able to stay a while, continue to live in our hearts and memories forever. Red shoe day, held on July 25th, is to remember all those we have lost to invisible illness such as Lyme, ME/CFS,  Fibromyalgia and the many more illnesses that are invisible.  In the broad sense of the term, invisible illnesses are those that are generally "invisible", not only from the outward appearance of the person, but also seemingly invisible to appropriate research, treatment and care of the thousands of people that are living with them. Many living with these  illnesses are also "invisible" to society, as their health is such that they are confined to their houses, (and many to their beds) for months, even years. 

The online communities and support groups are a lifeline to many who are unable to leave their beds/houses and are also an excellent source of information for those looking for support in discussing treatment pathways and coping strategies. The people within these communities/groups understand the struggles and adversity with very little explanation. Finding "someone like you", leads to many friendships being developed, and the loss of someone from this community is felt by many, even those on the other side of the world. 

Each death brings  a heightened sense of anger (and a numerous range of other feelings) at the injustice of their illness being ignored. It is also hard, as whilst many offer comfort to those affected, it also brings a sense of ones own mortality (or that of the loved one you are caring for)  to the fore. 

We would therefore like to encourage  the view that  whilst the 25th of July is for remembering all those lost, it is not only to remember their passing, it also to celebrate their life and to remember and share the wonderful memories their time on this earth gave us.  
  On July 25th, wear your Red Shoes in memory of those who now walk elsewhere.  Post the picture and your memories to our facebook page - which we will then upload to the website as a permanent reminder.

National Hamburger Day
On this Day in 1900 the first ‘hamburgers’ were served at Louis’ Lunch diner in New Haven, Connecticut.
Five Food Finds about Hamburgers
The oldest fast food restaurant in the world is the White Castle franchise, which opened in 1921. The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home. The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin. However, the hamburger in its current form, with ground beef and a bun, is a decidedly American creation. Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Today’s Food History
on this day in…
1586 The potato was introduced to England. It is claimed that Sir Thomas Harriot introduced potatoes to England on this day. (Some sources give December 3 as the date).
1852 Andrew Jackson Downing died. An American horticulturist, he was the author of ‘The Fruits and Fruit Trees of America’ (1845) and editor of the ‘Horticulturist’ periodical.
1866 The metric system was authorized to standardize weights and measures in the U.S. (Authorized, yes, but we still don’t use it very much).
1900 One of the many claims to the origin of the hamburger, is that Louis Lassing (or Lassen) first served hamburgers on a bun in his diner in New Haven, Connecticut.
1907 Earl S. Tupper was Born. The inventor of Tupperware. (Tupperware makes the containers used to conduct mold and bacterial experiments in the back of refrigerator shelves).

Until you were required to pay your "fair" share.

Same question most rioters in Ferguson were asking.

Or dispute them...not sure why y'all waste your time.

I bet she would.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Clinton Foundation's financials....

When my daughter was around 12,13,14 years old, she had a friend spend the night. This friend was a heavy-set gal. We went to pick the friend up, and on the way back home Fat Bottom Girls came on the stereo. After we got home, it all of a sudden hit me. I started thinking "I hope this girl doesn't think I was playing this song in reference to her weight". So I decided the best thing to do was to kind of informally explain the song to let her know it wasn't in reference to her. So I started to explain. And as I just got started, it hit me again...How do you explain to a 13 year old a song that is talking about a man that loves to sleep with fat women because his overweight nanny molested him as a child. I immediately dropped the subject and prayed that she wouldn't run home to her parents saying I was playing fat songs about her. I never heard anything else about it, but the girl never came over to spend the night again. At that age, friendships come and go quickly, so I'm gonna chalk it up to that.

Yes, I do.
A lot of the Trump folks are backing him because they are tired of the status quo in the GOP and wanted change...fine, so do I.
My question to them is if you call yourselves Republicans/Conservatives, why no back someone like Cruz or Paul that are actually close to what the party should stand for.
Instead, the are sucked in by Trump's rock star tactics...no real conservative would have backed this guy from the start.
Now, we're stuck with him but I will be voting for him because I have no doubt the alternative can only be worse.

Posted this in bad ones, good ones earlier...I was speculating whether or not this was "workplace violence".

Police officers are not another "movement". What if there was some tragic event and a few firefighters in a community were killed and the team decided to wear a red stripe for a year. Are firefighters a "movement" or is it just honoring someone? 
I don't think high school kids should be involved in politics while on a sports field. They shouldn't be wearing colors to support a political stance. 

The clintons are the posterboys for all he is railing against...and the crowd loves it.
The dems are a confused lot.
