I see no reason to dislike that. Not only that but they returned my deposit. What it amounts too when I use the deposit to pay my bill is 4 months with no out of pocket cost. Never had anything like that ever happen before.
You must not be in an area where Duke Power supplies.

Defense is a legitimate expenditure. Planned Parenthood is not. National security is the first priority of the Federal Government, and the reason it was created.

Nice try.

Which it turns out was not correct in our time. Trump has so many possible military expenditures on the board right now, we are creating deficits as large as when we were fighting and supplying the world during WWII. That is when tax rates went as high as 90% for corporations.

Seriously? So, we should just let the rest of the world develop weapons, gas their people, and conquer their neighbors, some of whom are our allies, blindly thinking that we are "safe" because we have an ocean between us.

Are you familiar with the Muslim Brotherhood's written and published "Plan for North America?"

Do you think that North Korea is no threat to the U.S.? Is Iran not a threat to be concerned about ...oh, wait ...Obama says, "no." He says he made an agreement with them not to build nuclear weapons ...just like Clinton did with North Korea. So, no need to worry. We are safe. And we don't care about all those innocent civilians that are being gassed, many of whom are Christians. Why should we care about them? Right?

You must have forgotten that some of these people hijacked airliners and flew them into the Twin Towers in NYC. But who cares? We don't know why they did it. It was just a random act. Right? Oh, wait ...wrong again. They did it because we interfere in their country. Right. They have no evil intent. Of course not.

Yeah, well I know how you feel about Donald Trump, so no need to respond to your tripe. You are the OP of "Nutty Don Lying Again."
