That HAS to be from one of those satire stories. Please, please PLEASE ...
But no, it's real.
WTF?????
Has ANYONE ever lived to be 200 years old? I remember those old Dannon Yogurt commercials where they showed Georgians who tend t live much longer than the average, but 200?
Well, I just don't know how on earth.....

The Isetta is too valuable to drive with all the crankloons around here. Besides, it embarrasses my poor neighbors with the Audi R8 and the Ferrari.

Wow Jody, first Cruz then the Trumpster. How's the Koolaid® taste?
Not casting aspersions; seriously, don't you, as an avowed Christian, have any doubts? How can you support this guy? Serious question; he seems the antithesis of Christian® thought.

Jody that you agree with the "substance" of what he's sought to do in office is pretty scary. I can't think of anything that he's done that has merit, and my guess is you'd be hard pressed as well. I think his policy can be safely ssummarized as 'if Obama did it, it must be bad and undone'.

And exactly what is that Jody? To me he seems totally unfocused, incurious, amoral, unethical, unwilling to accept responsibility, and inarticulate as to what he believes or thinks except that he likes to hear his name. He seem totally malleable, a loud voice with no message. And pretty f*#king rude.

Here you go Jody, guidance.
A young Republican activist from Northern Virginia who was seen as a potential rising star quit the party Tuesday, citing President Trump’s “appalling comments” about Haitian immigrants and what he called a nativist streak in his home state.
Kyle McDaniel, 28, served on the party’s state central committee for two years and has worked as a top aide for Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield), who said he had hoped McDaniel would eventually run for public office.
But McDaniel said he harbored increasing reservations over where the party has been heading. On Tuesday, he sent a letter of resignation to state party chairman John Whitbeck that described events he “could no longer stomach,” including Trump’s reported reference last week to Haiti as a “shithole” country and the defense by some party leaders of a rally this summer by neo-Nazis in Charlottesville that led to the death of a 32-year-old woman.

Cosmic, fair enough. Taken out of context and you're right, a joke.

Reuters:
Dutch government tells highest Eritrean diplomat to leave
AMSTERDAM
The Dutch government has told the highest representative of Eritrea in the Netherlands to leave the country, minister of Foreign Affairs Halbe Zijlstra said on Wednesday.
Tekeste Ghebremedhin Zemuy has been declared persona non grata, Zijlstra wrote in a letter to parliament, as the government saw mounting evidence of Eritrea continuing to force tax payments from people who fled the country.
A spokesman for the Eritrean Embassy declined to comment on the decision.
Dutch radio program Argos last month said Eritrean refugees were being intimidated into paying a "diaspora tax" at the embassy in The Hague, in order to get access to its services, despite earlier orders by the Dutch government to stop this practice.
"This is an exceptionally severe measure, meant as a signal to the government of Eritrea", Zijlstra said. "We want to make clear that we don't tolerate these unwanted practices."
Zijlstra said he had decided not to close the entire embassy, against the will of a majority in Dutch parliament, as that would make it impossible to help Eritreans.
He called on Eritreans to report criminal offences they had experienced at the embassy.

Ummmm...let me re-state this. How many people (individuals, races, communities, countries, etc) from the get-go has America f*#ked over ... look, all I'm saying is, why/how could God have ever "blessed" America!
edit: I had the "...when Trump wins" thread in mind and had just noticed it had passed away so posted here... never mind.

Hi Jody!
you made a comment a while back saying that the Democrats support countries and people that want to live by Sharia law
I have asked you to help me out understanding your statement by naming just a few of the Democrats that have taken action showing their support of other countries and people that support Sharia law, perhaps you missed my two prior attempts to have you expand on this
can you please elaborate on your statement? thank you
