Is Hunter and "The Big Guy" taking millions of dollars of bribes from forigners?
YES of course they are.
Yet you are concerned about Trump and a Bible? Seriously? Why?

Yep. Didn't answer the question.

I doubt that anyone (or not very many) would disagree with that sentiment.
It would be jail however and not prison…. unless it was an 8th grader. 
 

And if my aunt had nuts they'd appoint her to a high-ranking position in our military.  

Try posting just part of the word... I like puzzles. 😎

I grew up in a military family (Dad was a Marine), and I went to elementary school in San Diego for several years. We went to school for 12 weeks and then off for 4 weeks (60/20 schedule) with 4 rotating tracks (Track A off, Tracks B, C & D were on and so forth). But that's back in the mid-70's when there were a lot more stay at home moms, all the school kids' families were mostly lower middle income at least and there were great communities of military families in our military housing that could help each other out. I can't imagine that type of schedule these days.

Ironic. After our 3rd child was born, we decided that it would be better to stop daycare due to cost (mostly), and have my wife stay home with the kids. Not everyone can afford that... Luckily, @Box1 can tell us how we "have no idea or understanding on how anything works".

I got a little defensive.  I wasn't trying to belittle the job itself or people who do it, and made my point in a poor way.  And I respect y'all's arguments about 5-day weeks.  I do think people tend to overestimate the effect it'll have on the average family, though.  

Here is my cent and a half.....
I can only speak for me, but the wife and I both work. We used a daycare before he was in school and a couple hours in the afternoons when he was in school, until he was old enough to stay at home.  We hated summers because daycare went up because he was there more. I often thought if I had 3 kids, it would be cheaper for the wife to quit her job......Adding 52 (rounding up) full days to an already expensive bill could be devastating for some people.  Personally I like the 5 day school week, it mirrors most jobs they may get when they become adults. 

Well, we have you here to educate us! 🙄

I can only say this. The 4 day school week for 2 working parent families is a tough thing to sort out.

An oxymoron?

Agree, and especially tough on single moms with no support.
It's ridiculous, work 5 days like everyone else does.

Although shocking, I'm not surprised. And she's there for life... Let that soak in.

I know where they can get some cheap labor to build it... 😂

Yes, I am ok with helping folks out that need it.
What I am not ok with is the generational abuse of entitlement programs, and the democrats using entitlements to gain votes.
I'm sure you are a fan, seeing how you got your education paid for with my money.

The board rules enforcement is unpredictable, never know when or if it will show up, lol.

A politician dies. Instead of going straight to heaven or hell a spirit appears before him. The spirit says he gets to choose whether he goes to heaven or hell.  The politician replies of course he wants to go to heaven.    The spirit tells him that before he chooses, that he has to visit both places so that they each get a fair chance.   First, they visit heaven. It looks pretty nice. Big fluffy clouds, angels singing and playing harps.  Everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. The politician is pleased but a bit underwhelmed. Hell, on the other hand is magnificent. It's the most beautiful place the politician had ever seen. Everyone there is having the time of their life in a big beautiful garden. It makes heaven look dull and boring in comparison. "I can't believe I am saying this, but I think I would rather go to hell." Says the politician.    "Very well" says the spirit. "Turn around".   When the politician turns around though hell appears very different than it had less than a minute ago. All the attractions are gone and everything is on fire. All the people are screaming in agony. "I don't understand!" cries the politician. "This isn't what you showed me before."  Spirit says "well, that was the campaign. "Now, you have voted."

Enough of the personal attacks.
Against board policy.

It was more than just about the last few posts, or even this topic specifically. All I read on here is "Well, what about...(insert what ever deflection you want to come up with)". If you're missing something, then you are no different than most - me included. We become so polarized to "our guy" that we can't see the forest for the trees.
@Reagan posts sensationalized articles about "what the left did this time" and @Big girl, God bless her, can't seem to make sense of what day it is. Both are extreme and the truth falls somewhere in the middle. But there isn't any middle ground thee days. There isn't any give and take these days. Between social media, mainstream media (which includes CNN, Fox, the Big 3, MSNBC, etc.), we are willingly being polarized. It's for a reason, both political & social. We are slaves to their thoughts. Most people can't admit that Trump is a narcissistic crook. I can. I'm still going to vote for him...because, in my opinion, it beats the alternative. 
Quit calling each other names and pointing the finger and try to have a discussion that's meaningful.

Vegetable…..lmao

I think we got Cardinalbacker seeing the light!  😏

I agree

You mean Lincoln Riley, right?
