My husband and I have been through every top reason for divorce; financial struggles, bankruptcy, stressful jobs, becoming parents when we weren’t ready (neither one of us would give our kids back just the amount of stress is overwhelming) we fought ALL the time over anything and everything. I threatened divorce all the time. One day after a fight I said I was done and filling. He told me he wasn’t in love with me anymore. After a day or two of cooling off I realized that divorce is not what I wanted. No, our marriage was not healthy but we had so much going against us an neither one of us were trying. I begged for him to forgive me and that I didn’t mean it. He told me he loved me but wasn’t in love with me anymore. Those words hurt and I believed him.One day i was online for tutor, as i was browsing i saw a review about a spell caster who could solve my problem, i have heard about spell casting, and magic, i said i should give it a try i contacted the spell caster his name is Dr Ewan of {covenantsolutiontemple@gmail.com}, i contacted him and he told me not to worry that all he had to do for me is a love spell, he did it and told me that i should give my husband 48 hours and that he would realize him self, i waited anxiously and one the second day of casting the spell, he came to me and told me he was sorry for the wrong he did to me, he has agreed to send me to school and we are happy. Thank you Dr Ewan you are the best. If you have any marital problem, winning of lottery and many other problems you can contact him on his email, {COVENANTSOLUTIONTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM} or call his mobile number +2347052958531, he is a good and kind man.

Has it somehow not been established that Trump at a given moment is apt to say anything? Even the mainstream press has covered, it seems to me, that Trump has been unable to back up his claims about Iraq. <br /><br /> Salon has indeed been leaning towards legitimized Trump and it goes back at least to the odious Camille Paglia.

Here is an excerpt from the transcript:<br /><br />"Landler: And just one small, quick point. I'm fascinated by what a general election debate on foreign policy between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would look like, partly because of his unpredictability and incoherence, but partly because some of these ideas are probably not the kind of Republican she thought she was going to be facing. I mean, a guy who will come out and say, I was against the Iraq War and I, you know, want us in some cases to do less rather than more, is going to be a very interesting debate."<br /><br />http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2016-04-29/friday-news-roundup-internationalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-16161815856958153812016-04-29T18:27:22.475-04:002016-04-29T18:27:22.475-04:00Yeah, I know 2007 was later than 2003; sorry, I gu...Yeah, I know 2007 was later than 2003; sorry, I guess was I was trying to glean whether his 2007 position was his opinion all along or a reversal of some sort.

Here's what Trump said about Libya in 2011: “I can’t believe what our country is doing,” said Trump on his video blog at the time. “Gaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around we have soldiers all have the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is, it’s a carnage.”<br /><br />“Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before,” he argued.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-65409556216021597562016-04-28T23:23:29.912-04:002016-04-28T23:23:29.912-04:00My life became devastated when my husband sent me ...My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging.

Is your opinion of the American voter...Really, Bob? Is your opinion of the American voter that low? Do you really think that voters like you live so much in the past a single vote by Hillary 14 years ago that they disagree with matters that much? Do you really think they will look at Trump and Hillary and base their decision solely on what Trump says he did back then?<br /><br />Then consider. Bernie Sanders DID vote against the Iraq War. And he's been shouting that from the rooftops. Did he win the Democratic nomination for president among an electorate more likely to be disposed against that war than the general voting population? Did he even come close? Not really. Don't believe me? Then go look up the numbers.<br /><br />Really Bob? Vast swaths of the American voting public are already repulsed by Donald Trump, especially Latinos and women, including many in those two groups who have voted Republican in the past. <br /><br />This election is going to be a landslide. So much so that Hillary can practically grab a cabana on a beach somewhere for the next several months, sip pina coladas, and not lift another finger. I exaggerate of course, but that's how big her win will be, and she is also likely to take the Senate with her, and even now serious Republicans are fearing she'll take the House as well. That's why they are still working so hard to find a way to deny Trump the nomination. They know full well the disaster that is looming for them.<br /><br />And she won't let up. She'll do like all good politicians and run this race like she's two points behind. And she will deliver an historic beating.<br /><br />But never mind all that. Trump said he was against the war. The "media" hasn't sufficiently in your mind called him out on that (and he was called out on that when he said it), and you think that, and that alone will propel him to the White House?<br /><br />Really, Bob?<br /><br />Then consider this as well. The GOP has completely lost its mind and any sense of direction and discipline. Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment has be chucked out the window by everybody in that party. <br /><br />Donald Trump has gotten to where he is first by appealing to a plurality of voters in Republican primaries, basically the same people who have chosen truly bizarre Senate candidates for some years over "establishment" favorites. <br /><br />The coalition that sent George W. Bush to the White House no longer exists, and it will be years. And the big money that fueled that engine? Good-bye. Heck, we even had one of the Kochs say that Hillary would be a better president that Trump or Cruz, and Charles Koch would send money to Pol Pot if he thought he could win.<br /><br />So never mind that? Trump said he was against the war, and the media hasn't sufficiently called BS on that> That's got him headed to 1600 Pennsylvania?<br /><br />Really, Bob?<br /><br /><br /><br />irishguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214796640416172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-19602135617353863172016-04-28T19:35:05.580-04:002016-04-28T19:35:05.580-04:00Not unless something that happened in 2007 can be ...Not unless something that happened in 2007 can be considered as simultaneous to something that happened 2003.

Do not attack Iraq,’ " Trump said. "Nobody else on this stage said that. And I said it loud and strong. And I was in the private sector. I wasn't a politician, fortunately. But I said it, and I said it loud and clear, ‘You'll destabilize the Middle East.’ <br /><br />"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/feb/13/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-his-early-opposition-iraq-war-wa/<br />*************<br /><br />Example 2:<br /><br />“I said going into Iraq — that was in 2003 — you can check it out, check out — I’ll give you 25 different stories. In fact, a delegation was sent to my office to see me because I was so vocal about it. I’m a very militaristic person, but you have to know when to use the military. I’m the only person up here that fought against going into Iraq. I think it is very important. I think it is important because it is about judgment. I didn’t want to go into Iraq. It is about judgment. Because what I said, ‘You’re going to destabilize the Middle East,’ and that’s what happened.”<br /><br />— Trump, GOP debate on CNN, Sept. 16, 2015<br />*************<br /><br />Nobody has been able to find a single story, let alone 25 that proved he was vocally opposed to going in.<br /><br />What he said in 2007 is irrelevant to his false claim that he opposed going in in the first place.<br /><br />But apparently, reality doesn't matter to Salon as long as they can beat Hillary over the head, it's just as much fun with invented stories.<br /><br />Unbelievable.<br /><br />*******************<br />Invented facts tend to spread quite fast. To cite one example, the hapless entity still called Salon is pimping this headline today:<br /><br /><br /><br />WEDNESDAY, APR 27, 2016 07:00 PM EDT<br /><br />Trump opposed Iraq.
