Yahoo Comments

 After going to my Yahoo e-mail to open links to pay Electric and Cable bills, deleting most of the other unread mail, I signed out. I have lost interest in my last Facebook game. Needing to sit for a while when I first wake up, I started reading articles Yahoo shares. I used to only check out Google News. I used to spend a lot of time on forums, and had several websites and blogs that did not earn me a penny, which is likely how I started playing FB games. 

One day I just had to log in to Yahoo to reply to an ugly comment. Then it became my new addiction. I miss going for walks, smoking, doing community jigsaw puzzles, being able to afford newspapers, doing their crossword puzzles (online crossword puzzles too easy due to hints) and have gotten rather lazy when it comes to doing housework. I used to cook and bake a lot more, also. Painful trigger fingers, makes me shy away from doing stuff requiring a lot of chopping or stirring. Plus hard to cook for one when used to cooking for 4 or 5 or 40.

My new routine was to go to Yahoo news after a short trip to Farmtown, Google News and doing Wordie puzzle. It would suddenly be 2 o'clock and I was still sitting glued to computer. Yikes, Mar, you did not shower, lunch overdue, yesterday's dishes still in sink, if you don't put a move on that body I will be forced to give you a ticket. I should really turn on some music and hit the "dance floor."  What a colossal waste of time. 

My mantle cell lymphoma could come back at any time. A race between that and perhaps a fatal heart attack. What am I thinking? I have to clean out my junk, not sit at computer all day long. Somedays I would get up to do the dishes, shower, then jump right back to an article I was reading comments on.

What is the point? No one is going to convince a gaga MAWA that Trump is the worst president of all time. The MAGA' s are never going to convince anyone that Q/T social propaganda and alternate facts are truth. War on Drugs started long before Joe Biden became president. Under Trump it was heroin being smuggled across the border. Under Bidn it is fentanyl. Blaming an administration for addiction problems is wrong. Prohibition against alcohol did not stop drinking.

If it is not one drug it will be another. Homegrown meth, stolen prescription meds, cough syrup with codeine, cocaine, whatever is trendy at any given time period. Reefer or pot has been around a good long time. Maybe even smoked in native's "peace pipes?" 

My commenting addiction? 

Biased Proud Boy Jury?

 More comments on Proud Boys trial jury selection.

Lee to Rich:

Pushing back against militant criminals isn't hate

Um, same Rich?

It probably is biased considering the amount of censorship and propaganda that's out there

Kyle:

Kind of like Trump claiming the election was being rigged against him till he won, then claiming the next wouod be rigged against him a year before any votes were cast.

AOC#1FAn

No republican could get a fair trial in DC

Sibelius2

Then maybe they should have chosen a different place to commit crimes.

Jim

If the jury is going to consist of decent Americans who love their country, then we need a change of venue to the Free State of Dumbazzistan.

Shawn

If only they could convince the American public that they are victims. Why not ask those people that lost family members on January 6th to be jurors.

ed

The whole trail for Jan 6Th is biased. January 6th was nothing more than a protest that went "trustpassing".

Why you mad? unless you had a whole jury of proud boys, yes, they will be biased. Because the majority of America knows they were in the wrong.... it's like trying to find a jury not biased towards hitler.

GRUMPY

Political bias has taken over our courts and our Justice Dept. and Justice System. Any investigation that has to do with Trump will get a guilty verdict based on political bias and hatred for Trump.

#1 American

That is why no one from the National Socialist Democrat Party can be called a “ patriot”

Aaron

You can thank our biased media for that.

DAVID

anyone with ties to the republican party will never get a fair trial in washington dc.

Forrest Trump

This is what happens when the "nuts", get the keys to the "nut house"......

---

Easy to pick out the gagaMAWAs in commens.

I did not see anyone questioning why no Trump Q/T social GOP showed up for jury duty.

I 'rescued' myself from one jury because it was to decide on giving the guilty party death penalty. Until our justice system does not make mistakes and send An Innocent Man to jail, I oppose the death penalty.

That feed us their drivel?

Yahoo article about Proud Boys upcoming trail and jury selection Rich wrote: 

Reading the comments on here I've found that I have alot in common with people on here - just like most on here that have learned to hate the Proud boys by watching woke propaganda and censored news lie CNN, I've learned to hate Antifa as fascists watching Fox news. Its time we unite as only americans can and stop the rich elites that feed us their drivel

I OBJECT YOU HONOR!

I am anti fascist. I guess small groups of local teens that go out to protest fascist alt right groups, do not think to invite this old lady to join them.

Is Rich saying "antifa" is watching FOX News? Or that he is also an anti fascist who watches FOX so learned to hate, um, I dunno what Rich is saying.

I can not say I hate Proud Boys. I am appalled what they did on Jan. 6, 2021. I can say I probably would not make an impartial jury member.

The first time I watched CNN was on J6. I was oblivious when daughter texted me. I quickly turned on TV surfing news channels. CNN was best ~ showing violence as ti was unfolding. No biased censoring there. Online can watch hundreds more videos from J6 from various sources.

Drivel?

SoThis Is Christmas

 Texas Governor Abbott bussed asylum seekers to D.C. dumping them in frigid temperatures outside V.P. Kamela Harris' residence. 

Yahoo held everyone of my comments for approval. MAWAs out in full force making ugly, rude comments about President Biden and our V.P.

I can not mention "give us your tired, your hungry, your poor." One comment I questioned if there are no Christian churches in Texas.Then I tried Christian houses of worship. Yahoo tells me they hold comments for approval; do not take it personally.

Well damn it, I do take it personally. They can say any nasty ole thing they want about Biden, and others who comment, yet I am not allowed to say most anything. I felt like posting a cuss laden post, starting with Duck You Yahoo. It is too sad, that the ugliest comments were getting 131+ likes. 

The clairvoyant effectively indoctrinated masses of citizens. So much false info, misspelled words, slurs, personal attacks. 

I was enjoying doing a jigsaw puzzle when an overwhelming urge to smoke came upon me. I guess back before COVID when smoking was a daily habit, when I got stuck doing puzzles, I would go outside and have a smoke. Years earlier, when I lived in places where I could smoke indoors, I would light up, to help me think while writing. 

I read a how to quit smoking book and it claims that a cigarette does not actually help us to think better. Nor does it calm us down. I do not know. I think breathing in and out while smoking is as relaxing as meditative breathing. 

"We are a Christian nation," barf. Maybe no MAWAs are Christians, but GOP sure favors them over secular citizens. 

Serving Two Masters

 Surprisingly I do not recall the day I simply stopped going to church. I studied some world religions. I never found one to satisfy me. Then I did what Jesus said, threw away my Bibles. "You can not serve two masters, love the one and hate the other." I liked the illusion of electing government officials.

I did not actually serve the one and hate the other.  It was freeing, no longer trying to come to terms with a Santa, pagan traditions Xmas and a birth of Jesus one. I chose the American Holiday. Even "serving" that did not thrill me. Materialism.

Children with poor parents did not get treated with equality by Santa. Their wealthy classmate got the Flexible Flyer and they got new mittens and knit cap. It teaches kids greed. It does not actually teach them to be good for goodness sake, anymore that the Bible gets adults to be good.

It teaches them they will get a momentary reward for being good, not a lesson that being kinds, is, well good.

I read long ago about Jesus maybe not being white. Makes sense to me unless the holy spirit was an ET with white skin. St. Nicholas was not white either. Some posted on the article that as children they asked why Jesus looked white and not Arab. I was clueless as to world geography in relation to Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Red Sea=Moses parted it.

I wonder if that is like now, Mississippi river drying up, river bed dry, so peeps an walk to an island, that used to have to boat to. Maybe there was a severe drought, the sea dried up and parted and legend had it that Moses did it in one day. 

Early Q anon conspiracy theory? What was I saying here? 

My big turn off was this: why send me to hell for eternity because I smoked? No longer being Catholic, I could not confess other sins to be a priest, do penance, and be forgiven, still getting my shot at heaven.

What kind of cruel God is that? Eternity? Let the punishment fit the crime. Maybe Hitler deserves a long time in hell, DJT, also, but Bill Clinton maybe not so much? I think we have our own hell on earth. No need for an eternity burning up in hellfire. Jesus' skin color irrelevant. If he actually existed at all.

Trying not to reply

 Trying not to reply to Yahoo comments. Was doing better, then Facebook took Farm Town down again, and nothing to do, all day to do it. I suppose I could do some housework or continuing cleaning out my FB history. OY, I cleaned out my Blogger blogs, only to come back again. And again. 

So, anyway, I went away from the black/white Jesus article. Showered, cooked squash, ate squash while looking for the comment I wanted to share. Took me back in time.

My Story

I wondered why I was attracted to long shaggy dark haired hippie guys with mustaches and beards.  They did not look like my father, older brothers, or even uncles. Aha moment.

I used to stare at the mural painted on ceiling, wall over the altar every Sunday. Every holy day of Obligation, Every 7 day Novena. Well, not that would have been walking around the church stopping at stained glass windows to pray the rosary. Every Catholic funeral.

I loved Jesus! I wanted to marry him, ie: become a nun when I grew up. 

That idea went out the window when I started reading the Bible, finding descriptions from what I was taught and what the catechism the nuns tested us on, & priests taught.

When a sister and later brother asked me to be Godmother for their new baby girl and baby boy, I wanted to say no. I was still going to church, but I no longer believed. I felt a hypocrite, because I was too timid to say no. 

I did, however, know that should the sis die, I would be sure the daughter was raised Catholic. The brother's wife did not want me, but he insisted. Those babies long grown up and I no longer give them birthday/Christmas $$$ gifts as my godparents had given me.

How Jesus Became A White Man

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/long-history-jesus-came-resemble-121923976.html

The Long History of How Jesus Came To Resemble a White European

My post title a bit different that the article. Their title and article a bit too long. I did not finish reading. No images. I would follow links that did not take me to images, just the artists' names, so lost interest.

Comments on article, predictable. Why do people bother? Non-Christians will not be convinced Jesus existed; Christians long "you will go to hell" comments. Middle Eastern people were dark skinned: not they were not, they were WHITE. Mary was born in Palestine. No the was not.

I had to keep stopping to fact check. I learned Mary was born in Herodian Kingdom of Judea. Um, where was that? Oh, could be Israel, Jordan, Jerusalem, Palestine. Turkey? I wonder. Countries along the Red Sea? 

Mary was 13. Was not. Where does it say that. The Bible. (No, her age is not mentioned in the Bible.) Raped. Pediophile. Life expectancy was 49; common for girls to marry at 12. 

One bright fella wished we could find the body of Jesus, run DNA test to see who his real father was. That guy believed the Biblical account, yet did not know that Jesus' grave was empty, his body rose up into heaven? 

Best comment by m

Why are we talking about this. Everyone knows he doesn’t exist. You travel to all the kids houses in one night. Oh shoot that’s the other guy this one had endless bread and turned water into wine. I get made up figures confused. Which one does the hidden eggs?

Super Moron

 Too bad I do not do Twitter. Someone posted in comments on article about the new digital trading cards said twitter is full of memes calling #45 Supermoron. 

He touts his cards as depicting his life and career. He was an astronaut when? In his boyhood fantasies perhaps? He does golf. I guess the golf card is showing a much younger, slimmer version of his self. Superhero? Super Fool. Super Liar. Super Crazy. 

He has long wanted his head on Mt. Rushmore. Lady Liberty cried the day he was elected. Why hold the torch? He does not agree with sentiment "give me your tired, your hungry, your poor." The opposite, he wants to lock people out, locking us inside the man made boundaries long dead peeps named The United States of America.

Super megalomaniac. Better than Washington and Lincoln. Maybe he was a cowboy in a movie? Do not consider him a Hollywood star, minor guest roles. HIs TV show was filmed in NYC. He sure treated his presidency as a joke; CEO of the U.S. of A. 

Violated ethic laws by using office for personal gain of self, family and close associates. Jared got a 2 billion investment in his new company, courtesy of Saudi Arabia. Trump Org got lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia. So much for America First. Supermoron. Except in his ability to con people.

Super Moron

Some one posted a meme showing 45 ticking off with fingers: 

person, woman, man, camera, TV 

“I said to the doctor, it was Dr. Ronny Jackson. I said, ‘Is there some kind of a test, an acuity test?’ “And he said, ‘There actually is,’ and he named it, whatever it might be.”

“‘OK, that’s very good. If you get it in order you get extra points,’

“They said nobody gets it in order, It’s actually not that easy, but for me, it was easy. And that’s not an easy question.

The cognitive test is used to determine dementia. He can recall 5 words, but not the name of the test? He has the habit of repeating himself. I tried to listen to the entire FOX video, but gave up. 

He said the doc said they would have to release the results and he was fine with that. He had a perfect score. He even could identify an elephant.

---

One of the words he kept repeating was "sharp." Now I get why Tom announced him "sharp." LOL Learn something new everyday.

Super Moron

Article comment: 

Tom: You may not agree with him and he may be a complete jerk but he was actually pretty sharp. Biden can only read a teleprompter.

My replies

not sharp enuff to pronounce anonymous

*Tweeted he was en route “to address the Farm Convention today in Nashville, Tennessee.” The convention was in New Orleans, LA

*makes up words and countries (Premedication, covfefe, Nambia)

*"statics, some sa-tiks-tics coming out on.." (quite sharp)

*"YO-se-min-NIGHT."YO-se-MIGHT.."

*said he would "cut taxes big-league"

*the cyber

*"my generals and my military, they have decision-making ability."

* "Two Corinthians, 3:17, that's the whole ballgame."

*"We have some bad hombres here and we're going to get them out."

Asked simple question he rambles on about his very smart uncle, he told him nuclear was powerful, "who would have thought that" ~ he was 35 when this uncle taught him that? Most people know about Hiroshima, long before adulthood.

---

After his 90 second long run on sentence, the host had to ask him a 2nd time, because he did not answer the question.

---

“My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear" and "He would tell me, ‘There are things that are happening that could be potentially so bad for the world in terms of weaponry."

---

Maybe he should have studied some U.S. history, learned about MAD and the Cold War before running for the highest office in the land.

---

I wonder how sharp those who voted for him were?

Asked what he would say to reassure citizens who are concerned about COVID, he said "I would say you are a very bad reporter."

---

Gee that was very reassuring. A sharper person might say something like, "It will disappear, like a miracle, gone by April." or "Just drink some bleach."

Really proud

 My sister hates Michelle Obama, because she said "this is the first time I am really proud of my country."

Never mind that she was misquoted and her words were taken out of content. I told sister she was proud that youth were engaged in the process. She did not say she was never proud, just that this time she was really proud. Kind of hard to be proud of a country that enslaved your ancestors. Hard to be proud of a country that allowed lynching of black/brown children and men. Hard to be proud of a country that allowed Jim Crow laws in the south.

Hard to be proud of a country that jailed women force feeding them, or allowed husbands to lock up wives in insane asylums. 

I was really happy with citizens of the U.S. who voted for a man not based on color of his skin, but based on content of his character. I would not say I was not happy with the country; it is all I know. I stopped saying the pledge of allegiance years ago. My allegiance belonged to god, not country. Even though I no longer worship a god, I did not go back to pledging allegiance. 

I could not pledge allegiance to a government lead by a Nazi, or a dictator like Putin. After the glorious day when people of all skin colors, elected President Obama, they went back to voting for a man of low character. What happened?

The Light We Carry

 The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times is Michelle Obama's newest book. Talk about rude comments.  I forgot to mention comments on Facebook posts. Michelle gets a lot, mostly positive.  Lately she posts about empowering girls. 

One guy (I assume it is a guy, could not tell by the name) posted several times asking why not empower boys, boys need to be empowered, and so on. Another said they should be empowered to make him a sammich. I believe he meant sandwich. People like those two, are the reason girls need encouragement. 

Girls are discriminated against in many countries. They are forced to marry older men at young ages. They are not allowed to get an education; if they do go to school, they do not last more than two years. Woman are forced to comply with men's mandated dress code. 

Even in the United States, some religious sects adhere to Old Testament dictates. Female heads need to be covered, they are to be subservient to husbands. It was many, many years after 1776 men declared all men are created equal, that women were given the right to vote.

Silly me; when I first learned about U.S. history in elementary school, I thought "men" meant "human beings." I did not feel inferior to males. That came later. 

When men (and some females) stand outside, and break into the Capitol Building wanting to find and kill an 80-year-old woman; when the Supreme Court decides states have a right to deny liberty to citizens based on gender, you know little girls need to be empowered.

I Am Woman, sang Helen Reddy, watch me grow, see me standing toe to toe, yet, a million did not march in 2022. And way too many women are gaga over Trump and agree with denying women equal rights. It appears the anti women are more powerful than empowered. 

Perhaps Michelle Obama will help more little girls to aspire to be president some day.  There needs to be more strong women in Congress, and less MTGs, Sarah Palins and others like them.

You Talk Too Much

 You Talk Too Much is an old song by Joe Jones. I used to dedicate it to my now ex husband. We were to go on a double date with a co-worker. He asked if my husband talked. I said, "you can not get a word in edgewise."

After reading a headline: Will Trump Sink Herschel Walker, I am again reminded: they talk too much. They endlessly talk about coming elections; during elections; after elections. You know what theysay, if you don't have anything to say, never say it outloud.

We do talk too much, myself included. Article comments become a political forum. Can not call them debates. Insults, rude comments, distorted truth, whataboutism, deflection. Some will mention the number of Dislikes or comments by another poster.  That comment is aimed at a person gaga over Don the Con, or "baby killer" types. 

A recent article about the mass shooting in a nightclub being called "gay club." Maybe lesbians are considered gay? Trans, bi? Because, it seems the club is a mixed crowd, not just homosexual males. I digress.  

It did not take long for those commenting to turn it into a political debate: "people in PA voted for a vegetable", Joe Biden, DJT, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, evil "baby killers." A few did offer sympathy for the deceased's loved ones. I am surprised they did not call the former First Lady, Michael. 

My mother always told me, to keep your words, tender and sweet, for tomorrow you may have to eat them. She did not, really. I have not yet credited my father for saying: keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool; open it and remove all doubt. 

Parents do use quotes, such as my mother saying "thou dost protest too much." My father was fond of saying: "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice shame on you".

My latest is to reply to a rude, crude comment: "why you are pointing fingers, someone else is judging you," name that tune. 

Woe is U.S.

 "Trump’s admiration for someone who can be “president for life” comes through here loud and clear." article author

I believe if he were, our troops would already be in Ukraine helping his genius buddy Putin to destroy the country. 

Can't say Nuclear because nuclear is devastating?

Yeah, I know, when you were 30 something, your uncle explained to you that nuclear was devastating. Most citizens were much younger when they learned that ~ Hiroshima ring a bell?

I am guessing, now, that his prio wondering why we could not use nuclear weapons if we have them, is why he said he can't say nuclear? 

9. “And Ukraine, which would have never happened if I were your president.”

19. “I said, ‘If you just keep a little bit lower standard, you’re going to have a big victory.’”

He should know. 

I have been saying in comments for a long time that T wanted to be president for life. It seems GOP voters would prefer a T dynasty. Tired. Maybe tomorrow I will search for what he said about Putin, and wanting to do the same. Too bad he lost, else he would be well on his way to emperor status.

Okay, so when it was built what more would he want to do?

How effective was the wall in keeping millions and millions of unknown people out? 

Was the border erased, or was the wall completed? Did the alleged completion of the wall erase the southern border? 

Do MAGA's ever pay attention to the contrary things he says?

Sounds like he says these things for his unquestioning parrots to repeat. Maybe they will obey and stop saying "fake news." That they will stop taking sides, They will no longer complain and criticize. 

38. “We built the wall. We completed the wall. And then we said, ‘Let’s do more,’ and we did a lot more.

7. “Our southern border has been erased and our country is being invaded by millions and millions of unknown people, many of whom are entering for a very bad and sinister reason. And you know what that reason is.”

Blue Ribbon Committees

 What are blue ribbon committees?

In the United States, a blue-ribbon committee (or panel or commission) is a group of exceptional people appointed to investigate, study or analyze a given question.

Oh, no, please the don does not want exceptional people anymore. Obvious he only wants the Walkers, MTGs, Sarah Palins, DeVos tax evaders, unqualified people who are GAGA over him in government. 

Reminds me of those old TV shows: white man speaks with forked tongue. 

Maybe he thinks blue ribbon committees means Democrat committees, but even though he does not criticize, complain or take sides...

He is, after all, elegant, even though he does not like the U.S. of A. very much he wants to leave his nice life and get elected to the highest office in the country? 

What person belittles his country and calls himself a patriot. I know, I know (yikes, now I am starting to talk like him) because only the great and all powerful Oz can fix things. Not the Dr. Oz. A little humility would be a great asset. 

Talk about an outsized ego = Grandiose Narcissistic personality disorder. 

Elegant

"We" are not going to be critics or complainers? Um... 

The new elegant and glorious campaign:

7. “Our southern border has been erased and our country is being invaded by millions and millions of unknown people, many of whom are entering for a very bad and sinister reason. And you know what that reason is.”

8. “The blood-soaked streets of our once-great cities are cesspools of violent crimes.”

12. “Under Biden and the radical Democrats, America has been mocked, derided and brought to its knees, perhaps like never before.”

13. “I believe the American people will overwhelmingly reject the left’s platform of national ruin.”

20. “There are a lot of bad things, like going to Idaho and saying, ‘Welcome to the state of Florida, I really love it.’”

32. “Everybody will agree with us because everybody sees what a bad job has been done during this two-year period, and it will be a four-year period.”

36. “You can’t get anything. And good luck getting a turkey for Thanksgiving.”

39. “The cities are rotting, and they are indeed cesspools of blood.”

Hershel?

 I should mention "Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large" added his comments after each of T's recorded lines from his speech.

BTW, I wonder if he paid for his airtime campaign ad? Is it normal for TV stations to interrupt regularly scheduled programs to run candidate announcements. I had CNN on while I was reading and doing a puzzle. I wanted to see State names listed on banner running below the talking heads. I would glance up and it seemed the banner was only showing a few States. When a map showed up, I did get one of the names of a State I was seeking. 

Suddenly I hear him, look up, see his face, and made haste to leave CNN for some Lifetime movie background noise. FOX was the other channel that covered his announcement on live TV. If Pence or DeSantis throw their hats into the ring, will they also air their announcements? 

18. “Despite the outcome in the Senate, we cannot lose hope and we must all work very hard for a gentleman and a great person named Herschel Walker.”

I do not think any misogynist is a great person. Well, it seems Herschel loved women, enough to impregnate more than one. I am, however, talking about wanting to deny females liberty. 

He thinks he graduated college with honors. He left after 3 years to play pro foot ball. Another great Trumplike liar. I do not know if Hershel is a gentleman. I know he says he has DID. He likes to watch horror films, but does not remember name of movie he watched "Last night." Werewolves kill vampires, is an important Lawmaker issue, now, eh. 

Lets work hard for him. T is talking to his GAGA audience, but:

24.” This will not be my campaign. This will be our campaign.”

25. “And we love both sides.”

31. “We don’t want to be critics. We don’t want to be complainers. I never wanted to be a critic.”

Blue Ribbon Committees

 What are Blue Ribbon committees? I will search to find out after I finish up here. 

Why did he create them previously if he hates them so much?

Is he saying during Obama's administration unifying people was going on? 

Still the same ole don, claiming to invent words. 

43. “That’s the only answer, no more ‘blue ribbon.’ I refuse to create them anymore.”

26. “We’re going to unify people. And it was happening in the previous

40. “In the caravans. I love the name. I came up with it. I love the name.” administration, previous to the previous.”

Verbal Abusive Bully

 51. “I go home and she says, ‘You look angry and upset.’ I say, ‘Just leave me alone.’”

Nuff said? 

I remember in an interview when he said when he gets home from work, he expects dinner on the table and gets very upset if it is not. 

He took his domestic verbal abuse to a nationwide level. 

I miss Barack; he clearly loved Michelle. He might have been the one to say to her: you look angry and upset. Followed by, Do you want to tell me about it? Can I get you a glass of wine? Give her a hug, massage her shoulders, cracked a joke to make her laugh. 

I do not know if Bill/Hillary would have barked: leave me alone. Ladybird and LBJ? Most definitely not Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. 

Everyone has bad days. Married partners might snap at each other, and ask to be left alone. Yet it seems he rejected his wife's offering comfort.
