  1. I am not accusing you of suggesting treason... But see how easy it is and silly the season is...My point exactly... And age is not an excuse... Mind you I studied this crap for many years and from perspective.... These two, while having their issues as you and many others have described are not even close to the worst.... Hoover has to rank the worst imo, but Jackson, Taft and a number of others beat these two out handily. Hell GWHB and Gore were no panacea.
  2. Yeh we got sober, or cut back, or died,.. bodies can't take it anymore... Your liver CT scan in a few years will show the damage. Gin especially.
  3. Parkside Candies with cinnamon sticks... Red and hot. The zoo oh wait its still there.
  4. But you insist this is the worst campaign in US Hx and most corrupt and again I beg to differ... In addition politicians by the nature of the job and businessmen too appear corrupt because they need to build coalitions to gain support and cut deals to make things happen. Short of direct bribery, my only question is how well do they do it and are they loyal to US interest and responsive when adjustments are needed and finally good for the economy. Trump is question on outta the three and Hillary has issues with one and a half outta the three. Ill let decide which for each on your own.
  5. Oh come on, under the Bushes we had the Saudi family oil connections and the Carlyle Group international et al connections, Reagan had his and I am sure there were others.... the Robber Barons and Pinkertons were notorious, Love Canal didnt happen in a vacuum and heck the Germans had lots of connections financially some say put off our entry into WWII. You are in fact tin foil hatting it, know your hx its more sordid then you think. The only question is for me what bearing do these connections have on decision making and what if necessary does it take to overcome them if critical. But they have been there thru out ours and many other's hx. Not always noted in text sanitized text book hx but can be elicited from print media and opposition accusations. Right now I think it is more transparent then ever before and more discoverable.
  6. Thought you were one of the treason accusers, stand corrected, but even prosecution of any sort or as a disqualification is imo over the top, same with Trump russian connection, though both good political fodder. There were a series of winners before Lincoln but Taft v WJB comes to mind as much worse. Coolidge v Davis, Harding v Cox, and Hoover v Smith easily qualify.
  7. Again my statement above is about politics, didn't notice your daughter's sit till just now.... All my best..much more important, having dealt with a special needs child, my prayers are with you, her and your family.
  8. There are legitimate policy concerns for both candidates, but stating that they are treasoness is over the top and the reason I lump you in with all the other name callers. Should HRC used better judgement on the emails.... Yes, although it has been standard practice for a number of secretaries of state, Presidential candidate or not is irrelevant at that level and just shows your unreasonable bias. I have no problem admitting mine... You claim to be a free thinker, yet constantly post talking points of the Drudge Report/fox news right wing conspiracy theorists... Doesn't pass the smell test. Absolutisms like "The Worst Ever" are more to the point of your right wing bias... i get it you don't like Trump either... But as inexperienced as he is, there have been a lot worse Presidential candidates and Presidents. Again more hyperbole from you.... To be Taken along with both sides true believers with a grain of salt. Just stating that the high horse some of you guys and the Bernie crowd get on is too much and shows your lack of understanding of politics.... Again, it is the silly season and the veracity of any accusations at this point should be used for entertainment purposes only and not taken seriously. Same as political platforms and so called policy platform other then as a very general direction of the candidate, subject to current law and actual legislative compromise or not.
  9. So you also want prosecute Connie Rice and Colin Powell considering they did the same thing. Your hypocrisy and obscene teeth nashing is reprehensible. Not because you spew this crap, hey its the political season. My problem with your statement is that you dont admit its the silly season and these accusation while funny are pretty baseless. Even Trumps second amendment is with the political discourse of a campaign. Just know that if what you believe and say should happen to Hillary, then Trump should be fully investigated for his statements and dealings with Putin under the same reasoning.
  10. Finished with "this is for Glen". Desperado ! Wow nice nite at CMAC.
  11. Leaving to see Don Henley in a few min near Lake Canandaigua.
  12. Not right, not saying that there are some elements of Black anger and and racism there, but to state that is an significant let alone overriding part of BLM is politely a huge political mistatement. There is a large concern over police using lethal force indiscrimantely, even within poorer white communities. Doesn't make as much news. There are just enough knuckle headed power tripping cops that give all the good ones a bad name. The problem is that they aren't weeded out effectively. So while BLM a racial in nature.., you see a large number of whites supporting it b/c they are feeling similarly about the bad cops and there is a growing distrust of them.
  13. Let me know if you are the NY area. We are always looking for care supporters for our 9 year old. He has a rare genetic anomoly that effects his motor control and development.... mostly speech. He can be a handful, but is generally a happy sweet kid.
  14. yeh but I get a pass on my BD even if it is 52
  15. Mr. Bill, " Oooh Nooo"...,.
  16. At Bills camp today on my BD, tight ends need work catching. Cardale has a long way to go. One good pass, one bad... , Spikes is a big guy. Oh line looks decent but hard to tell. Working on a lot of punt coverage today. Jeez Striker is small... Got VIP along sidelines through a friend. Rob Ryan is a walking heart attack waiting to happen. Hard to tell if they will be any good.
  17. Paperboy, Vet Asst (pooper scooper), camp counselor, warehouse picker, mail clerk, bicycle courier, mail clerk...
  18. Oh crap yea... Kick the can on Summit Ave in summer. Street hockey in the snow in sneakers with tennis balls. Had a racing slick on that day glow burnt yellow banana seat bike. Picking up pig iron from tracks and the rope swing behing Nichols school in the ditch behind on the rope swing. Salambas pool tables when I was 15.
  19. I got rotor routed for first time, put if off for two years, 4 polyups removed last week, PSAs were .6, Having my bladder sono'd in 3 months but so far all checks out well and can still piss standing up. Back into playing beer league hockey 2 games 2 assists and 1 goal, three knock down hits... while still getting my skating legs under me subbing for the iceholes and full time playing for Jameson after the wiskey. Captain is an irishman... Jimmy Kelly-- hence the name. All is good so far.!
  20. I get most of them too, '64. However, I worked in the field for 21 years and tend to attack even when listening, when in campaign mode. Kinda like a hockey game, the other team is the enemy till game is over then with few exceptions all is forgiven afterwards.
  21. Agreed the speed is a different animal and definetly a different challenge.
  22. The speed yes but the vitriol no, not even close. When animations start showing up in mainstream media of Trump having sex with Putin or Hillary doing another woman that would start approaching bygone nastiness... Emphasis on mainstream media.
  23. Agreed, need to read up on yellow journalism during the previous turn of the century post reconstruction era. It makes this shiite look tame by comparison.
  24. Interesting will check it out. The why on partisanship is two fold, minor changes in the electorate can have a huge effect on election results. Right now both parties are competitive enough to make these election winds have significant impacts. The implication of the communication age speeds up the velocity of these changes and probably add 2-5% amplitude of the winds.
  25. I disagree with that quote, yea its bad but it has been worse. 1920s and 1930s the age of muck raking was much worse.
