I haven't been locked up and don't want to.

I knew a guy who basically admitted he was shoving things way up his ass (mainly drugs) to smuggle them in while on daily work release. Said you had to use a 10" long tube to get things far enough up your ass so they'd stay in during the "squat, spread your cheeks, and cough" portion of the strip search.

One of my inlaws has multiple felonies and has done a number of stretches behind bars, years at a time. He gets strangely quiet when it comes to his time in prison and it's not because he's embarrassed.

Can't imagine spending most of my life in prison.

Sure, I've heard of situations like that.

I worked everyday I was away. There are computers and I was allowed to be on one every day for 3 hours so I never missed work. I was not in prison, I was in the hospital.

While I'm sure it felt like prison in many ways you were getting the help you needed. It may have saved you.

We must do everything possible to prevent us from not being lockup

One of the worst places to be locked up is in your own mind. People create their own personal jail cells in their heads. If your mind is in a good place you're free no matter what. If not you can be in a virtual hell while living in paradise.

So true.

I have come to a point in my life where I am at peace with all. I love the quiet and I love to be alone. I am living in a world that is in every way ran by evil, but I am living in Heaven. The mind can be a prison or a paradise, it is all in the perspective.

All freedom comes from Christ, instead of worrying all day try praying and things will change.

Trump may be an arrogant prick with zero brain-mouth filter and too much love for firing people up with his posts on social media BUT he's talking to North Korea and has the hottest 1st Lady ever who immigrated here by legal means. Love him or hate him, the man is getting shit done. A guy at work who was staunchly anti hairpiece cheeto aka Trump during the campaign has changed his views on him... he sincerely respects and approves of how hard he is working and all the positive changes he's been making. Absolutely still hates Trump as a person though lol.

Respect is a funny thing. You can seriously dislike someone but still respect them and the things they do.

And one more thing on Trump...a few months ago Comedy Central reran their Roast of Trump from maybe 7 years ago. I decided to watch it. At the end Trump himself said "what's the difference between a wet racoon and Donald Trump's hair? A wet racoon doesn't have 7 BILLION dollars in the bank!"

He forgot to add "and a smoking hot wife that makes me look like a negative 5 out of 100." He's like Joe Pesci in all his movies - a man that can really get shit done.

I love America and I want what is best for our country, and I know Trump is the man to do it. He has made so much progress for us and He does not stop. I know by the end of His first term He will have accomplished much. If He could only get more Republicans in things would go faster. So far I am happy with His performance. I am happy the direction of the Country. I always want our county to do well, I want our President to succeed because if America is doing well we are doing well.

What, exactly has this administration accomplished? (and don't say 'the economy') All I see is two sides of anger with no love/compromise. We could run down the litany but that just exacerbates the problem.

He's managed to piss off the left and snowflakes endlessly. I love that part.

Here in Europe the media is totally against Trump. The 'Bilderberger' together with their associates consisting of big names of former politicians seem to drive the media against everything that has something to do with Trump. But behind the propaganda there are quite some substantial things that Trump has done which should have gotten positive critique.

Trump represents the real economy and he is trying to gain ground from the financial economy (controlled by a well known group of people).

I think that Trump was a cool guy before becoming president. However I am not educated enough to differentiate his actions as a president.

I know the media is super quick to criticize him simply due to the fact that he's not a career politician. They want him to seem unfit. I'm sure other politicians don't like him for the same reason. He doesn't care if he upsets them, he's there to do a job.

I heard someone at work say "oh there's Trump on ANOTHER golfing trip! When is he going to do some work?" when the news was on one day. I asked if they expected Trump to work 24/7 or if he was at least allowed to relax occasionally. You could've heard a pin drop and I never got a response.

The man NEEDS a brain-mouth filter and an advisor to edit anything he posts on social media before hitting "submit." I do like how he is extremely straight forward when he speaks and doesn't sugar coat it but sometimes you do need a sprinkle of sugar.

I remember at the end of his first 100 days in office our biggest "anti Trump" person at work said, "I'm impressed. The man actually did the things he said he would during his first 100 days. The things he hasn't finished are now up to Congress or someone else." Love him or hate him he is the president of the US and we've got him for 2 more years (hopefully 6). Come on, the man is getting N Korea to talk! That alone means a lot.

I'll definitely agree on this point...the problem is that everyone is pissed-off and it makes our Government even more dysfunctional than usual
