How does one "actively think"?





"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

I understand Trump , with all his money and agenda's running and " W I n n i n g ",
but why anyone with Oprah money would run is beyond my scope.

( and again Fake news)

I'm not sure I see your point regarding money... Oprah's net worth is roughly the same as Trump's: ~$3 Billion.

Trump is the 248th richest person in the country as of last year, and Oprah is the 264th richest.

I wonder what Trump's nickname for her will be if she really does run against him. Mashed potatoes Oprah?

Not surprised. Given what one has to put their family and themselves through in running for the office, why would any sane person what the job?

I can't stand her, but don't underestimate the number of women and minorities that would fall over themselves to vote for her.

Her timing is awful. The smart thing would have been to gradually have one victory at a time with increasing frequency as the next presidential running season begins. She shot her wad too soon. Makes her a target. She'll have to make zero mistakes in a PC culture for two and a half years not to mention what she may have done before. She has more ego that brains.

I agree

Obama was a NOBODY. Oprah has a lot of name recognition. I’d rather not roll those dice.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

Seems to me I heard reported that this was a false report--that she had not made any such statement.
