It didn’t take long for my hands to get fried on my steering wheel. Lesson Number One...
Forgot what they hate most, to be ignored, talked down to, condescended to and pointing out he redirects back to himself when he’s said he wants bi-partisanship... Repeatedly, using different phrases to point it out.
‘I thought you came to hear differing opinions’.
‘Can we get back to the reason YOU said we were here’.
‘Sir, is this about you or a speech, we can leave if that’s the case’.
‘Can we get back to the reason we’re here’.

Obviously Mr P, you don’t know anything about this legislation your’e pushing, or don’t your people brief you?
You are mistaken, sigh, once again, let me give you the facts from your people (offer him a copy).
Someone has a counting problem or sir, I don’t know what bill you’ve been reading... BTW, have you read it sir?
All said calmly, repeatedly, from all sides.
Some used my suggestions on the HC talks, if only more had.
Ouch. And I thought getting into a car in the summer here was bad.
Well there you have it!!

I just commented on that thread.
I live in Phoenix, I’m in Phoenix but recently took a trip to Texas and California
I forgot all about dummy’s pre-final four appearance on CBS tonight. I sure hope Clark Kellogg kicked his ass on the basketball court.....
Food and fashion have always been political, and this week, President Obama served gefilte fish on White House china, reprising the first White House Seder, over which he presided last year. There was a precedent of a sort; he hosted a Seder during the 2008 campaign when Jewish staffers couldn’t get home for the holiday. Instead of the traditional toast at the end of the dinner, “Next year in Jerusalem,” the president raised his glass to “Next year in the White House.”
Nearly 80 percent of the Jewish voters helped make his toast come true, and no doubt many of them are flattered that the president most hostile to Israel pays a little Passover lip service to the Jews. But certainly not all. Many other Jews confess to second thoughts, troubled about what Mr. Ob -ama’s presidency means for the future - and even the survival - of Israel. The Obama administration’s application of moral equivalence in the dispute between the Israelis and the Palestinians ignores the reality writ plain and simple. These Jews do not quarrel with the goal of a two-state solution, but the corrosive double standard makes the goal unobtainable.
“We use American influence with Israel not to promote economic growth in the West Bank, but to try and impede Jewish - never Arab - construction in the capital city,” writes Elliott Abrams, an assistant secretary of state in the Reagan administration, a deputy national security adviser to President George W. Bush and now a fellow of Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, in the Weekly Standard. Indeed, when the United States condemns Israel, as it did over the building of housing units for Israelis in East Jerusalem, the condemnation emboldens allies and enemies to jeer at Israel. When the Palestinian Authority named a public square for a terrorist who killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children, neither the president nor Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said anything to criticize.
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington last week, he was punished again. His meetings with U.S. foreign-policy officials were kept secret. He was the unwashed country cousin whose presence was tolerated but not welcomed. He met with the president, but there were no photo ops. That might have offended Palestinian radicals.
Not only does the official American criticism hurt Israel’s image internationally, but the lack of rebuke for Palestinian offenses encourages them to persist in ignoring their obligations for responsible leadership. Crude hatred of Jews continues unabated in Palestinian textbooks and in the media, supported by the Palestinian Authority. A generation is being raised to hate its neighbor.
Mrs. Clinton told a Jewish audience that Palestinian “provocations” must be condemned, but she stopped well short of condemning any of them. Such toothless rhetoric is not overlooked by Israel’s enemies - and ours.
“American presidents can be more successful when they put their arms around Israeli prime ministers and encourage them to move forward, rather than attempt to browbeat them into submission,” Martin S. Indyk, the U.S. ambassador to Israel in the Clinton administration, once said. Ariel Sharon got that message and, at great risk to himself and his country, removed certain settlements from the West Bank and Gaza.
An insidious and perverse idea carried through innuendo and insinuation is rising in Washington today, even suggesting that American support for its most reliable ally in the Middle East endangers American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, as if the Islamists and the Taliban would lay down their guns and bombs on getting the news of a settlement freeze in Israel. This flies in the face of the ruthless reality that the Palestinians draw no moral distinctions between Great Satan and Little Satan. “In the eyes of these fanatics,” Mr. Netanyahu says, we are you and you are us.” Serving gefilte fish on White House china won’t change that.

I had an aunt & uncle like that, but I can’t imagine not being able to roll over & snuggle with my sweetie.
A windshield cover and/or a set of gloves suffices. You might wish to wear longer shorts if you have leather or vinyl seats.
LOL, she sounds like a trip.
My lower-east-side grandma was a hoot also. If a box of something she bought said there was “x” inside, she’d count them and if it was less she’d write to the company. She did get some refunds and coupons that way. A while back I emailed 3M because I liked their commercials with squirrels, and they sent me coupons for post-it notes that still come. When I told my parents I did that my dad said I came by it honestly from grandma Emma!
I learned a lot of cuss words from her and to this day I have no idea whether my mom even knows that.
or the sun settin on the freeways is always nice

Republicans will never get the Jewish vote - they’d sacrifice the nation of Israel before they would ever vote for an overt Christian, regardless of the Christian’s level of Zionism.
We’re trying, but there’s little concept of Faith and Forgiveness among many of our Jewish brethren. Much of it is historically justified, unfortunately.
I would like to meet one politician that is not a self serving GD liar!!! Just ONE!!!!
No, not sure if I ever did. She was raised by a single mom (their dad died young) with 2 sisters and 2 brothers in what my mother calls a cold-water-flat. For reasons I still don’t know, she absolutely hated her mom.
Once when I was a kid I was mad at my mom and told grandma “she’s a witch.” Grandma said “your mother is NOT a witch! MY mother was the witch!”
