No, born in Washington State.  Its the speed I type at.  Sometimes typing faster than I think.  I have to go back and make corrections.

I once told a boss "I can type fast or I can type accurately.  I can't do both."  When people asked about my typing speed, I would tell them, 75 mistakes per minute.   happy77

FWIW:  The post you are being criticized for -- I understood that a lot better than some of the things Trump has been quoted as saying.

I must admit the MSM quote Trump like Katie Couric interviewing Sarah Palin. Old trick.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In 2015, I was working a NYC animal adoption event at Bryant Park. Well, I turned around and there was Couric, and she was eating a live cat! Okay, I made that part up, but she was there and looking mousy as ever.

Hey, maybe that’s why the cats were all hissing at her? Okay, I made that up. But some of the cats were hissing!

I will forever remain grateful that I have never even been within "rock throwing" distance of her,never mind punching distance. There are some things that just NEED to be done in the name of humanity,never mind the personal consequences.

Well, actually, reading his tweets and seeing/hearing him on tv -- I have the same problem.  Except when he's reading a prepared text, I often don't know what he's trying to say.  True, the media twists his words, but it could also be that they aren't sure what he means, so they have to interpret. 

Now I don't communicate well either, but then again, I don't have Trump's education.  I just thought he would be a clearer speaker and writer.  Guess not.

And about Katie Couric -- I used to like her, but after a while the constant perkiness became annoying.  Plus I've always thought that people who are overly bubbly, who smile too much, have something malevolent up their sleeve.  A personnel manager at one of my jobs was like that.  Always smiling -- while he was thinking of ways to stab you in the back.  Can't trust people like that.

YES.  Do they pretend..NOT TO KNOW?  Do nothing?  WWW.MAGAPILL.COM
My best guess is 2/3 are employees of the DS, or have something on the line that is about to be exposed. They have to defeat PDJT at all costs. The other 3rd. is merely contrarian.  :)

That's about my take on the situation as well. Trump has upset the subtle Beltway detente of everyone having dirt on everyone else, and once someone starts dumping skeletons out of closets, there's no telling where that will end. No doubt, swamp critters on both sides of the aisle, the courts, and the bureaucracy are on edge.

@Smokin Joe

And there is the root of their rage. Trump is a Billionaire from NYC,so they just KNEW they could "do business" with him.

Someone they considered to be "one of them" turned on him,and the spittle has been flying ever since it started.

Attention!  For public consumption polls are PROPAGANDA!!!

Just thought you should know.

What are these "polls" everyone gets so blustered about?  No one has ever called for my opinion. 

And I'll add a little anecdotal sample size of one, especially for the left wing lurkers.......

In 2016, I voted for the most conservative 3rd party choice, of a person whose name I can't even remember.  2020?, that vote goes to Trump.  And guess what?  I'd bet a goodly sum that I am am not alone, and am just one of a multitude who realzes that 2020 boils down to a choice of whether we want this to be a socialist country earlier than later.  Add the fact of how the dims are basically endorsing the rioting and looting?  That choice to make is  just that easier.

The latest revelation that Biden wants to seize corporations basically and distribute ownership to the masses, or in other words, end capitalism, should wake everyone up to the fact they have gone full blown communist.  The totalitarian aspect comes when they grab not only your stock, but your guns and Bibles too, and with force.  That is right around the corner if America votes for the Democommies, or should we call them what they are...COMMUNISTS!!!!!!!!!

I have been asked, just not recently. When questions are phrased like "Do you think little children should be slaughtered on their playgrounds or everyone should have to give up their guns?" I ain't playing the false dichotomy game. THen they get an opinion they did not bargain for.

I did have one from the CDC (supposedly) fishing for who in my household had what vaccine. I asked why they didn't just get that data from the State. They said they couldn't even get the overall numbers because it would violate HIPAA.  "Oh", I said, "Let me get this straight. As a federal agency you're doing an end run around a Federal law by calling this a survey. You said I could decline to answer any questions I wanted to, right?" "Yes." "Okay, I'm declining to answer all of them. Have a nice day."

Yep. And I have been calling them Communists for a while. They are totalitarian wannabe followers of Karl Marx, and that makes the title correct. Allen West said some 78 to 81 members of the House of Representatives alone are Communists "Progressive Caucus".

They used to publish a list of their members who held elective office in this country that I regularly shared at TOS. Teh number you mention is very close IIRC @Smokin Joe . They have taken that down now but they are still very very active!
