Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostCongress tried to act as a check against Obama, so did the courts, look at what happened with the IRS matter and how the courts admonished the government's attorneys in that matter.
Look at how the Justice Department stonewalled any serious investigation into Clinton's email server and into the Clinton Foundation. Many people within Nixon's Justice Department wouldn't consent to Nixon's efforts to control the Watergate investigation, look where that went. We received a glimpse of a fully politicized Justice Department with what happened in the Clinton investigations. Imagine what could happen with a fully politicized Trump Justice Department.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Originally posted by imanihonjin View PostMy facebook feed is full of people who claim to be at a loss as to what to tell their children about Trump's election because their seemingly young children (many many under 10 years old) are frightened by Trump and now that he is elected they just aren't sure how their kids would cope. If this is true, these parents caused this fear for their children and have nobody but themselves to blame. Kid's can't understand the nuance and these parents own rhetoric has cause the fear their children fear.
As a kid in third grade, we held our own Presidential Election to see who we thought should be president. I remember all of the talk of a bunch of 8-9 year olds, and in particular what a bad and incompetent person Jimmy Carter was. Thinking how could anyone POSSIBLY vote for a person as dumb and as bad as he was.
As adults, we ALL need to do a much better job of dropping the hyperbole of "horriblizing" the opposition. We can do much better at describing politics in terms of everyone wanting the USA to be a great country, being led by good people*, who just tend to disagree on the best way to do that. Kids take the hyperbole way too literally. As adults, we should know better.
*OK - I get it, sometimes people do/say things that make it difficult to describe them as "good people". I'm talking in general terms here, not necessarily about anyone in particular.

I guess this is the exact quote:
"I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them."
Often quoted as "How could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him"; referring to George McGovern's loss to Richard Nixon in in the 1972 presidential election.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostIf it appears as if it's heading that direction, it seems that Obama may pardon Hillary. It would be just about the only good thing he did while in office.

Originally posted by Crockett View PostComey said the email matter is closed, but the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for some time and that will continue. I think Hillary has repeatedly broken the law and lied about it -- and part of me would love to see Hillary in an orange jumpsuit -- but for the sake of healing and moving forward I would rather Trump not go after her. It would set a horrible precedent and take us closer to some banana republic. I'd like to see the Clinton Foundation shut down, though. That thing is dirty as hell.
