    Go back and re-read the dialog. Perhaps, you'll catch on. Perhaps.

    Yeah, long hearings are great for advance cooking, last one I baked cornbread. Start with the things that can be frozen.

    I remember, back in the day, friends of mine did that once-a-month cooking thing whereas, they prepared about a month's worth of (ready-to-bake) meals in a day. Lots of casseroles! They had 5 kids, though.

    I think you and my wife would love to talk about cooking together. She just loves to cook and to bake, and she plans meals like months in advance and has stuff in our freezer weeks before she needs it has things going through all these processes months before she uses it. I think it's a little crazy when I was a bachelor my preparation included what restaurants are on my way home heh. She has a schedule she keeps of year-round what produce will be in season and at it's freshest from what her sisters tell me she lived like that before we got married too.

    No thanks. I'm fine with what I posted. So what do you think the over and under on how many false statements trump makes at his rally? I say 10 and over is a lock to be a winner. The guy just has a hard time dealing with facts That and all his personal attacks and name calling are enough for me to never want this guy running the country.

    The people who blindly support Trump no matter what by regurgitating what they have read/heard while ignoring actual facts still makes me shake my head in disbelief...and that includes both elected GOP officials as well as the people who voted for both them and Trump.

    It was inevitable, wasn't it?

    Just like Trump, when presented with facts, if all else fails, resort to name calling.

    Spiffy.

    Not at all. But, try to keep up and you'll get a little more traction.

    I do that since it's actually hard to cook for one.

    I think its the crutch of the issue to some extent. Really aren't we all just taking what we have read/heard adding our cognitive bias’ to it and saying thats fact. Its not like you or I are in congress, or the president. Yes there are some “facts” that are always absolute and not relative but much of the realm of politics is less about facts and more about feelings and ideas. Its part of what can make someone as divisive as Trump so dangerous as a leader, claim everything thats negative about him is a lie, and people will eat it up, and when some of it turns out to be lies the people on his side start to feel like all of it is.

    However I think we out to be careful saying oh your just regurgitating what youve read or heard, how else does one inform themselves?

    I agree except for the last part...being well informed by multiples source while coupled with the gift of cognitive thinking is ultimately what allows us to arrive at our own well educated conclusions.

    Sure, but my own well educated conclusion could in fact be inaccurate or wrong. At the end of the day all you can ask voters to do, is try to inform themselves, and try to make educated conclusions, but they may still come to different conclusions. In the realm of politics, quite often actually.
