(Meg Kelly/ Glenn Kessler and Salvador Rizzo The Washington Post)On Sept. 7, President Trump woke up in Billings, Mont., flew to Fargo, N.D., visited Sioux Falls, S.D., and eventually returned to Washington. He spoke to reporters on Air Force One, held a pair of fundraisers and was interviewed by three local reporters.In that single day, he publicly made 125 false or misleading statements — in a period of time that totaled only about 120 minutes. It was a new single-day high.The day before, the president made 74 false or misleading claims, many at a campaign rally in Montana.

I've used it on all my computers for years, but had some kind of malware on my last couple systems- a DNS changer. It took me forever to eradicate it on the last two systems and I don't remember how I did it. I even went so far as to get rid of my router and most antivirus, malware, and process killers do not ever find anything wrong. At most, RKill is finding the processes it's starting and shutting them off, but I cannot find where the stupid bug is actually hiding. I fear it's actually in Classic Shell and has been the whole time. It's the only program besides Office that I have installed on all infected computers. Do any of you know alternatives to it or have you had similar issues with Classic Shell? less

Why shouldn't changes of age/birth date be allowed? If sex doesn't objectively exist, why does age? If feelings determine sex, why don't feelings determine age? If we are to regard sex as assigned at birth, why don't we regard age as assigned at birth?

Twas a long hot summer, I had a company about 20 miles away donate their time and resources by driving up here with several milk tankers full of water... It was probably not that environmentally friendly really... and they didn't really get much thanks for it as the parish council didn't want any publicity regarding it... but it was the pond I cared about and I was worried about the fish dying.. When I think back I still don't know how I managed to persuade the owner of the company to do that.. they had to flush their tankers out so they could carry the water.. I can be persuasive when I try :P less

That is, someone who says things in the right way, has a great delivery, but then in time you realize the things they are saying are cruel, immoral and/or inhumane?
