Short of calling me a dumb $)(5(€%#}#, I agree, ps I have been called worse and this is politics, I expect strong opinions, they make me think and ATL should never have to offer an opology for his opinion.... None of this is personal even when heated.

Interesting he is interviewing the interviewees. Not a bad strategy if he can pull it off, but ultimately he is not the client but a future employee... an if he Fs this up I'll bet the collective bargaining changes quickly.

Sigh....

High maintenance... Soda machines tend to fall on her... just ask Brewster ice arena....

Agreed, still in today's reactionary society, you had to know this was stupid to put out there, keep it in house.
-
Interesting how clueless and sheltered some in the Hollywood community are except about themselves. Really stupid thing to photoshop and put out there.

Well said... a passing of an era. I too watched that group regularly.

Over and under on how soon Rex/Whaley fired... any takers before start of season. 4 games in after patriots loss. ????

Got it, worst candidates, thought you implied campaign, now I understand, others were talking about the campaign as well and again as I posted above they are not by far the worst candidates, they at least are intelligent and ambitious. Taft was a lazy pos, Hoover a moron, Jackson was a psychopath. There were others, McKinley was bought and paid for. Actually a good thing he was assassinated for the US. There were others and again Bush and Gore were questionable compared to these two. WJB was a religious moron. Grover Cleveland meh.

They drafted and practice these morons

Yes on Glass Steagall... Bernie isnt the first nor the only, though I agree it needs to happen, there are a lot of Dems who agree, environmental Dems have been left for some time, more so then Bernie, on Defense they've gotten more right, health care Dems have been looking for things they can pass, taxes are a balance and a progressive restructuring of the tax code, alleviating burden on disappearing mid class needs to happen. Corporations, unlike what Bernie says are not evil, they're amoral. Profit rules the day and getting them to do beneficial things thru incentives as well as neg consequences are the trick and tricky given politics. Bernie is a Bomb thrower, backbencher, but not a coalition builder needed for leg to move forward. Clinton may surprise you.., but she wont be an idealogue. She understands you cant totally alienate everyone and still get things done. Bernie imo would. On guns there are lots of different opinions in the Dem party and no conscensus other than more effective faster background checks.
-
From a rhetorical standpoint, gotta agree, but from a governing standpoint... Only on select issues... The rest has been pretty middle of the road, especially on defense.
-
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.

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.

Parkside Candies with cinnamon sticks... Red and hot. The zoo oh wait its still there.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

Finished with "this is for Glen". Desperado ! Wow nice nite at CMAC.

Leaving to see Don Henley in a few min near Lake Canandaigua.

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.

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.
