    Frank-001: How about getting QVC to coordinate the transfers and hype the deal with one of those carnival barker high intensity sales pitches. I might actually find that channel to watch it unfold.

    Larubia inspired a great Causes Comedy Schtick! How about a contest? "Troll or No Troll." It might be hard to judge but still fun. Which commenters are just Trolls and which are not? I'll excuse myself since I'm a gnome.

Let’s move that oozing orange slime! @jimK said “How about getting QVC to coordinate the transfers and hype the deal with one of those carnival barker high intensity sales pitches.

    LaRubia: been a long day so far- needed to tend to my wife who needed to be chaperoned for out patient medical procedure, needed to get my monthly shot, took the dog to and from doggie day care and had to get garage door opener (springs, drive sprocket, and bearings replaced) so we could get the garage door opened again. There, I vented. …… … My choice for a prisoner swap with Russia would be Navalny for the trump, kind of a ‘two-fer’. Ok, I will go read some more comments now, before taking a nap.

" President Putin, if you act now you not only get The entire Trump collection: Including Donald, Ivanka, Jared, Melania, Don Jr., Eric, and Lara. Plus Steve Bannon, Anthony Levandowski, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Stephen Miller. You will also get two former Attorney Generals Jeffrey Sessions and William Barr. To really make the deal irresistible we will even include the ever adoring, loving and forgiving Mike Pence. And, hold on... This is just in, yes, we can! You'll get 100 pounds of Trump Gourmet Steak. Briefly Defrosted to make room for all that hydroxycholoquine, but quickly rinsed in copious amounts of bleach then refrozen when they didn't stop COVID. And, the State Department cleared this: For each additional political prisoner we’ll include include one of our most beloved FoxNEWS hosts - such as Tucker Carlson,Judge Jeanine Pirro, and Sean Hannity. Rest assured they'll appear on RT TV. 😉 Don't Delay. Call today. Operators are standing by. If you ask the operator for the "January 6th package" she will discuss having the insurrectionists relocate.

    @Andrea & @Robert, great question! How can you help our oceans even if you don’t live near one: 1.Stop using single use plastics. (Use reusable grocery bags, carry your own straw, use real utensils, etc.) 2. Reduce or stop eating fish/shellfish. 3. Check out the link Causes provided for WinTogether.. 4. Research the issue. 5. Write to your representatives urging them to protect our oceans and move towards greener, more renewable sources of energy. You can be part of the solution. I’m excited to see actions being taken seriously & questions being asked. Thanks for your help.

    @JimK thanks for taking the time to answer during your incredibly busy day. My best to your wife & glad you can nap! I wish I had that superpower! I’m still conflicted about any swap, but you always have thoughtful answers…even when the day is busy! Sleep well.

    US Russia Prisoner Exchange. @jimK wrote: "... My choice for a prisoner swap with Russia would be Navalny for the trump, kind of a ‘two-fer’...." Hmmm. You're driving too hard a bargain. We need to provide value: Navalny is worth the entire Trump package: Donald, Ivanka, Jared, Melania, Don Jr., Eric, and Lara. We can even throw in Steve Bannon, Anthony Levandowski, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort plus Stephen Miller. 😉

    Hopefully Netanyahu will not be recycled but plastic will, especially if we take ownership of the issue and support environmental groups such as: 4ocean; Oceana; the Ocean Conservancy; Friends of the Earth; Center For Biological Diversity and others that are earnestly committed to make a difference. We can do this.

    I now live by the ocean. In the past year, I have personally picked up a handful of garbage walking the beach and retrieved a perfectly good exercise ball and a floating beer bottle from the river. This will hardly make a difference. The problem is the massive amount of packaging and other single use plastics that have taken over the planet. Open a typical delivery from Amazon and there is more throw away plastic in the box than there is item that you actually paid for. Only around 6% of all plastic is recycled so people believe that setting out recycling every week is fulfilling their moral duty. It’s not. Manufacturers of goods and foods have to figure this out as in more sustainable packaging or a biodegradable plastic. It may cost consumers more but I’m willing to pay.

    Causes, thank you for partnering with WinTogether! Plastics & ghost nests must be removed from our oceans. At the same time the world must stop over-fishing, decreasing the consumption of fish, and reduce our carbon footprint/tackle global warming. This list is NOT small & will take an immediate worldwide effort. Life on this planet began in our oceans. My fear, is that this is where it will end.

    So what did Causes miss this week: 1: Unemployment Fraud: Reports of major unemployment fraud related to Covid-19 transpired to the tune of $400 billion. 2: BLM: One of the co-founders stepped down, while $90 million donated dollars are MIA. Is this the same co-founder that just bought a few homes at a cost over 1 million each? 3: Racial Backlash: The racial attacks/obsessions to create division by the Democrats are definately working in their very own party. Omar is at it again, but this time, her own party is attacking her. 4: Harris Border Interviews: Why should she go to the border. She hasn't been to Europe either. These are just a few items that Causes missed. I wonder why?????

    Question of the day: Should the US negotiate a prisoner swap with Russia? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    @Sylvia: You say that the reason Causes doesn't report that shit is because it didn't happen. Does this mean everthing Causes prints is true/accurate? You are kidding me, right? Aside from a summary of bills being considered by Congress, Causes mostly posts topics that are in the news cycle. And, as we all know or should know, just because it is in the news cycle, doesn't mean its true. But never-the-less, they post it to serve as a topic of discussion. During the Trump administration, they could not help themselves. They posted ever little thing, whether it was true or not. This is what Trump said or did, what do you think. Causes is definately bias in what they print, so my comments reflected what they missed. Just for the record, what I said about Racist backlash and Harris' Border Interviews are facts, whereas, comments made about unemployment fraud, some of it has been investigated and found to be verified/proven, but the investigations continue, even possible involvement by China and Russia. The $$ number I mentioned still stands. In terms of BLM comments, while you are right, the donations for 2020 was $90 million, I used the term MIA because reports are stating that this money is not reaching the local activists. The point is if the local activists are not receiving the money, where is it going, thereby justifying a call for an investigation.

    Let see South Africa and Asia have the highest amount of plastic pollution in the world? The question is, is it because the rest of the world using there Region as the dumping ground to manage their waste? In the Pacific Ocean there are three zones of garbage in the Northern Pacific Ocean. You are looking at 400 to 600 years to decompose, I will not live long enough, but will try to do my part.

    To add to BR list: 1. Ilahn Omar making anti-Semitic remarks 2. Michael Brown’s family also now asking for a financial audit on BLM in addition to Breonna Taylor’s family 3. Another “suicide” of a reporter who released the Clinton tarmac story. Clinton’s seem to have a lot of connections to people who shoot or kill themselves. 4. Biden admin being sued for discrimination against white farmers in Covid relief package. 5. Increasing crime rates in dem cities with increased police retirements and resignations. Dems rhetoric continues to hashtag defund police as seen by AOC and squad

    B.R. The reason Causes doesn’t report that shit is because it didn’t happen. The department of justice cracked down on 474 people who attempted to defraud about 600 MILLION (not billion), and the secret service returned 2 billion that was STOLEN (not fraud). Patrisse Cullors has stepped down to pursue her own interests but the attacks on her have no basis. So she bought some houses, what’s the connection? The right has jumped on those purchases to ask loaded questions and stir up a stink. That 90 million dollars that you speak of is what BLM took in this year, and they gave the press a detailed look at their finances. None of it is MIA, and no one is reporting it as such.
