Trump Announces Alaska Summit with Putin

[RichardHurt]

DB sir, I do not doubt your service record. Nor do I require another approval to get merit for a honorable response. If you need someone else to give you credit for such honestly then that seems like a personal issue. Another topic that doesn't need to be posted so lets end that right there.
It seems we have hit a crossroad due to a few many factors.
But I am here and willing to engage in a meaningful productive conversation. About how to get Ukraine on a economically productive pathway. Comparing stream length isn't going to cut it. But I am always willing!

Well, if we are going to disqualify persons, because they are of a low rank or tax bracket, Im out

Ha, now that made me laugh, thanks, man

It's been a long day, Im Mom's caregiver, and this is the first time we had to get extra help, so my sister came down a few days ago, and she has been a huge help. Mom goes in for an abdominal scan to see if there's a blockage in her colon. She is barely eating, but she did much better today. But she hasn't gone in 3 days, when it goes this long, it hurts, and Mom ain't from a generation that complains. 

Got her on a regimen of easy digestibles, Colace, and Miralax as per her doctor...

So these last few days if not most of this week DI is just pure distraction and background noise... it would be typical to get kicked off just when I needed the distraction most.

I understand the caregiving. I myself provide about 12 hrs a day watching over driving and feeding and entertaining my Grandfather. He was what would say are the early "Night Stalker" during the Korean war. He has dementia and has maybe a 4 hour memory span since his wife passed in 2003.
His pace maker has to be reset what seems like every month but it's really every 6. My Aunt handles the medical personal mostly because of work. But other than that I handle his ups and down day and night. When I'm gone family must be present because I don't trust anyone not family.

That’s correct.
India’s oil exports to Europe have gone up 250%.
Where do you think all that oil came from?
Hint: it’s not Indian oil

And India basically told Trump to kick rocks in response to threats of tarrifs and sanctions if they don't stop buying Russian gas and oil. Same with basically everyone else we threatened over it. Not to mention the EU is still buying Russian gas in bulk. If we sanction India but allow the EU to buy what kinda message does that send...

[RickyD]

Ummm, lifting sanctions?

DAFUK?

The sanctions never mattered. China supplies all the tech stuff already and they don't care what we tell them. The other major importers of Russian resources all told Trump to kick rocks over any sanctions...and the EU still buys Russian gas right now.

Yep, I had to help my Dad from about 12 years ago, and Mom when he passed 10 years ago. Ive got brothers and sisters who do help, but I do get a lot of days where it's just her and me. Im glad to help. I had such good parents. Mom has said before that she would be fine in a rest home like her mother's and sister's, but unless we have to, that ain't happening. 

It isn't about the cost, either; there's a beautiful place down the road we could afford, but none of her fiercely loving children are of that opinion. 


We just don't trust anybody either. 

We can make it happen, she's with us.

I love being with my grandpa everyday. I actually get anxiety when I'm away for more than half a day. And my family is the same and will never change.
It does get hard at times but he is always the one that brings a smile. I did have to do some digging with his permission to find something able to be shared about his contributions to our great nation.

The later being a necessary.
