K-9

My mission is not to sway anyone here, that's for damned sure.

Preach on, brother. Keep the faith, fight the fight. Especially where the rubber meets the road.

And with an intractable legislature for most of his tenure. A congress whose stated goal was to limit him to one term and obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. And you can't tell me that is what their constituencies elected them to do as their approval ratings are abysmal and so much lower than the president's. Congress has been derelict in their duties as sworn representatives of the people. There is no just no escaping that.

Been saying for years, it's about politics. ISIS and others like them, use religion as a recruiting tool for soldiers to fight for a political agenda. People who insist on believing it's all about religion are playing right into their strategy.

I've been both a boob and an ass at certain times. Oh, wait...

I take it you didn't read what he had to say about Clinton not mentioning the Starr investigation, impeachment, etc. No worries. Feel free to conduct your conversion therapy. Personally, I think he's little more than a troll some of the time. And when he's called out or otherwise met with the same highly charged rhetoric, he gets all insulted, and tells us how rude we are which is unfair because he acts in the same rude manner he accuses everyone else of before insisting he must leave the forum. I'll save my attempts to sway others for personal discussions with rational people truly interested in having meaningful discussions. I don't get that sense from anonymous posters in an internet political forum. If that's doing a great disservice to the efforts to capture hearts and minds, so be it. I don't believe for a second certain people around here are actually open to the suggestion.

That's probably for the best.

Condescension of my ilk? Stuart Smalley moment? That is priceless. Yes, I will carefully contemplate and consider how I might have offended a partisan political lackey of a party I have absolutely no respect for after said partisan political lackey threw out some flammable rhetoric of his own to get things started. Then again, I'm not surprised at the hypocrisy. And I call bullschit on not looking up synonyms. How many are there for "butt hurt"? I'm not shouting. Just not putting up with partisan hypocrisy, that's all. And I wouldn't waste a minute trying to convince our boy in Atlanta of anything regarding a potential change of his political stripes. Did you read his offerings to me regarding the Starr investigation? Anyone who wonders why Bill Clinton chose not to mention that episode in last night's speech is beyond reasoning with along those lines.

It's not my spin at work here. It's the way the history books are being written, too. Any more synonyms for "uncouth" or did you reach the end of that internet search? Major points for "opprobrious", though. Hope you didn't pull anything trying to dig that one up.

You're one of the ever decreasing GOP goose stepping crowd that actually takes pride in how that party acted during that witch hunt. Even Ken Starr regrets that time. Only the staunchest GOP lackeys aren't embarrassed by the $74m required to get a man to lie about a BJ. BJs and stains on a dress. Good times, GOP, good times. Again, well done.

More tripe.

Well done, GOP. Free thinker, my ass.

That's a load of garbage. 75 million dollar investigation by Ken Starr and the best the GOP could do was to have Linda Tripp covertly record Lewinsky saying what they needed to hear and then entrapping a president to lie about an extra-marital affair. You and the GOP have no right to dictate to anyone what is sanctified in another person's marriage and what isn't. It's a private family matter. But I get why you and the GOP would want the Clintons to rehash the salacious details. It makes for good GOP television.

That 1998 political theater production was a private family affair that was nobody's business until the republican Congress spent millions of dollars beating the bushes, wiring Linda Tripp who got Lewinsky to say what they needed to hear, and then used that covert recording to entrap a president into lying about receiving . Well done, GOP.

Sad thing is, I'd vote for a Kardashian before I would vote for Trump.

Good luck with that, then. But that won't qualify you any more than it does Trump to lead the most powerful nation on earth.

Trump's "skill set" is celebrity. Period.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
