  1. Tongue in cheek? OK, if that helps to justify yet another irresponsible gaffe by your candidate. But he's gonna get raked over the coals. Of course, you will blame the "liberal media" as that's what the right always does in these cases. You may want to stay glued to FOX in order to avoid the fallout. That was an irresponsible, phucked up thing for any politician to say, let alone a candidate for our highest office. And another indication he lacks the temperament for the job. He just can't help himself. And this is what he is when he comes out of that shell:
  2. Seeing his name plastered on buildings might suggest those buildings are his, but they aren't. I'm amazed at the number of branded properties he doesn't have a stake in. His name has a certain cache, but it doesn't always generate revenues for his businesses.
  3. There is no shortage of examples of people born rich who possess amazing talents and abilities that enable them to prosper further. It's Trump's lack of a discernible skill set that suggests to me he hasn't done much in the way of accomplishments. It's also his history of screwing people over that cloud those accomplishments as well. It's all well and good that he's a global brand, but it don't mean much.
  4. They lost me in the 80s when they were co-opted by the Moral Majority and Evangelicals. I voted for Bush 41 and a couple others in various local and state elections, but it's been a while and I can't see anyone on the horizon that will influence me to do that again.

  6. What skill set that made it work? It's hard to find skill sets in people born on third base that act like they've hit a home run. Let me know when you discover Trump's skill set for the office as I'd be very interested in knowing what that is.
  7. We have a bit more than that. We have three woman and one man pressing charges for non-criminal assault at that bar. And yes, it's most important to remember the allegations haven't been proven one way or the other. But it's more than just one woman accusing here.
  8. He's had numerous failures, too. Failures that led to a few bankruptcies. Not to mention there are literally THOUSANDS of vendors who've had to resort to lawsuits in order to get paid for services his companies simply decided not to pay them for. There's a reason he is the most litigious candidate in history. Honestly, I cannot detect ONE discernible presidential feature in the man. Not one.
  9. Did I really hear Trump encourage Russia to commit a federal crime and hack into the DNC and Clinton servers? Really?
  10. Listening to Trump's presser in Florida. To say he lacks intellectual agility is an understatement. My favorite quote so far: "They never should have released David Hinckley."
  11. Yes, because they enjoyed so many freedoms under centuries of czarist imperial rule.
  12. Yes. The law is pretty clear on this. Why do I get the impression Trump knows little about these laws and cares even less?
  13. Bernie won't give up his independent status, but he will always caucus with the dems.
  14. I meant that sexual assault charges have nothing to do with anything here, only the non criminal harassment and trespassing charges E Kane faces. Perhaps I caused confusion when I used Patrick Kane as an example of a white player and alluded to his troubles. My apologies if that's the case. I only used P Kane as an example to say that if it was him that night at Bottoms Up, he too, would have been arrested and treated the same if all four complainants pressed charges, regardless that he's white. Hope that clears it up.
  15. Not only am I not saying it, I never even implied it. He is charged with non criminal harassment as a result of all four complainants pressing those charges. My whole argument with you is those charges and his subsequent arrest on those charges have nothing to do with him being black.
  16. Outstanding! LMAO. All future posts in this thread are ruined.
  17. This is an interesting point. I was watching an HBO documentary about terrorism the other day, I joined it in progress and don't have the name handy but what this CIA analyst had to say about it was interesting. Essentially, until terrorism is a tangible threat to US citizens here, then it will never rise to that level of threat previous enemies warranted. Right now, according to the analyst, a person has less than .05% chance of being killed or harmed by a terrorist act in the US. The threat just doesn't move the needle in any real sense so I wonder what it would take for us to be asked to make real sacrifices in the fight against it. I mean other than what GDub asked us to do, which was to just "go shopping."
  18. The four counts of non-criminal harassment is not to be taken lightly. The term "non-criminal" doesn't make it any more palatable.
  19. Except that the quote from the article doesn't support the idea that Vesey is demanding a top 6 role.
  20. I gotta believe the civil suit for the December incident doesn't get filed if not for the June incident. That reeks of opportunism.
  21. I'm asking you to imagine if P Kane (white) was in E Kane's shoes. You claim that if P Kane had four people pressing charges, he wouldn't have been arrested like E Kane was because he's white. Sexual assault charges have nothing to do with anything here. Not sure why you insist on conflating the issue. And, AGAIN, the reason why P Kane was never charged is because the DA investigation yielded nothing and the complainant didn't press. We can all claim that the current charges against E Kane are "bullschit" charges, but four people have pressed and we won't know until it's either adjudicated or settled some other way whether they have merit or not.
  22. Pretty sure the rest of your statement suggests you're for it. And you are absolutely correct that we've taken PC way too far in this country. We've bastardized the language and sabotaged satire as a result, too.
  23. Maybe if you had suggested that the DNC or Bernie Sanders ask the Mexicans to pay for it, I would have laughed more immediately and with much more vigor.
