Not good taste to do that to people who have harmless personal weaknesses, they harm themselves, save it for the evil bastards and there are many. People fall and are prey to their Demons, love and understanding help and are the only way to help. Being judgmental indicates a lack of compassion, there is a place for such things, it should be directed at the evil, those who inflict suffering on others, not on themselves. If being thin were easy there would be no fat people, and habits like drinking would not be so hard to break, even when it kills people.

There but for the grace of God go I
yeah it is-drug and alcohol abuse has destroyed our country.

i have a therapist, friend, thank you for your concern and according to her i'm well within my judgmental rights.

i reject your suggestion that i have lack of compassion.

funny friend, i never see you say the same thing to others using that language..why me?

I thought legislating was for legislators. Would you be kind enough to direct me where in United States constitution executive orders are authorized? Thank you.
Damn, a two minute Google of 'presidential executive order origins' would have answered that.
Fyi, George Washington issued the first executive order.
From the Heritage Foundation

"In particular, Article II of the Constitution assigns the president the roles of commander in chief, head of state, chief law enforcement officer, and head of the executive branch. The president has the sole constitutional obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” and is granted broad discretion over federal law enforcement decisions.

“He has not only the power, but also the responsibility to see that the Constitution and laws are interpreted correctly,” Heritage Foundation scholar Todd Gaziano wrote in 2001.

When the president lawfully exercises one of these responsibilities, scholars generally agree, the scope of his authority to issue executive orders and other directives is especially broad. As such, Congress has little ability to regulate or limit that authority.

When a president’s authority comes from power granted by statute, Congress is free to negate or modify that authority, or pass legislation to nullify the order itself, because the Constitution empowers Congress to make the laws that govern us. Still, the president has to sign the law enacting that change, unless Congress is able to override his veto."


You're welcome

I don’t mean to be petty...but it seams a *real* shame that Ivanka got all the plastic surgery, while her brothers and sister got none...beyond the creepy messaging re: ‘daddy’s little doll’, it’s just plain cruel to let Eric go through life as he is - he’s not even as blandly uninteresting as his brother, though that would be an improvement.

Not to “go Trump” on ‘em, but the whole family is a ‘5’ at best, barring Princess’ knifework
I think she’s a dog, wait, a DOG and I would kick her out of bed. Wait, she wouldn’t get there in the first, yikes.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Election officials in Wisconsin’s largest county accused observers for President Donald Trump on Saturday of seeking to obstruct a recount of the presidential results, in some instances by objecting to every ballot tabulators pulled to count.

Trump requested the recount in Milwaukee and Dane counties, both heavily liberal, in hopes of undoing Democrat Joe Biden’s victory by about 20,600 votes. With no precedent for a recount reversing such a large margin, Trump’s strategy is widely seen as aimed at an eventual court challenge, part of a push in key states to undo his election loss.

A steady stream of Republican complaints in Milwaukee was putting the recount far behind schedule, county clerk George Christenson said. He said many Trump observers were breaking rules by constantly interrupting vote counters with questions and comments.

“That’s unacceptable,” he said. He said some of the Trump observers “clearly don’t know what they are doing.”

Tim Posnanski, a county election commissioner, told his fellow commissioners there appeared to be two Trump representatives at some tables where tabulators were counting ballots, violating rules that call for one observer from each campaign per table. Posnanski said some Trump representatives seemed to be posing as independents.

At one recount table, a Trump observer objected to every ballot that tabulators pulled from a bag simply because they were folded, election officials told the panel.

Posnanski called it “prima facie evidence of bad faith by the Trump campaign.” He added later: “I want to know what is going on and why there continues to be obstruction.”

Joe Voiland, a lawyer speaking to commission members on behalf of the Trump campaign, denied his side was acting in bad faith.

“I want to get to the point of dialing everything down … and not yelling at each other,” Voiland said.

At least one Trump observer was escorted out of the building by sheriff’s deputies Saturday after pushing an election official who had lifted her coat from an observer chair. Another Trump observer was removed Friday for not wearing a face mask properly as required.

Trump paid $3 million, as required by state law, for the partial recount that began Friday and must conclude by Dec. 1.

His team is seeking to disqualify ballots where election clerks filled in missing address information on the certification envelope where the ballot is inserted, even though the practice has long been accepted in Wisconsin.

The campaign also alleges thousands of absentee ballots don’t have proper written paperwork, and that some absentee voters improperly declared themselves “indefinitely confined,” a status that allows them to receive a ballot without photo ID. Those challenges were being rejected.

There have been at least 31 recounts in statewide elections in the U.S. since the most famous one in Florida’s presidential election in 2000. The recounts changed the outcome of three races. All three were decided by hundreds of votes, not thousands.
