We've elected the street-smart wiseass who bragged and mouthed off a lot in jr. high P.E. class. I never thought he'd amount to anything. I'm still not sure he will.

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.

In news that isn't too surprising:

Anyone still think the Clinton's weren't peddling influence for donations?

Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI have no doubt whatsoever that people donated hoping to curry political favors. But how is that any different from political donations to candidates which have been happening forever? Either way you are buying influence. Why do you think Orrin Hatch is such a champion of the quack medicine industry? $$$

It was a good 4 days of not watching anything on TV but sports. Didn't even get to see the BYU game because of a conflict.
I get back and in one day I am constantly reminded we have a President elect acting like a jackass and a revered hero of the Civil Rights movement making a jackass of himself.
I have stopped laughing at all this crap, but I will bet the Russians won't be able to stop laughing.
Kinda reminds me of three of my friends. There is a real controversy between two of them. When things get boring, the third friend brings it up to watch them go at it.

Originally posted by imanihonjin View PostWell, for one, people are limited to how much they can donate to a campaign to something like $2700. No such limitation applies to a foundation. I think you might be able to "purchase" more influence if you contribute $1M as opposed to $2700. What do you think?
Hey, I am happy to see Hillary ride off into the sunset. But neither party has any kind of monopoly on virtue here. Don't kid yourself."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I am sure there are some honorable people in both parties, but they aren't easy to find.

Does that mean she won't run again in 2020? I'm sure she would have won if she tried a third time.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
