  1. Jeesh. I pulled up her image on the googs. There were about 100 photos and she was a beauty in 100/100. Putting that aside for a moment, seems like an amazing human being.
  2. They have nothing to be concerned about if they are innocent. They should welcome the investigation into their relationships with foreign and domestic associates, they should reveal any potential financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and make their spouses, children and extended families immediately available for questioning. And if, by happenstance, a door or two gets kicked in in the middle of the night, or someone has to be coaxed into providing testimony under threat of a lifetime in the pokey, they can take comfort that it's all for the greater good.
  3. Actually, the Smollette case simply reinforces the notion that racism is on the run in the USA. I'd argue if his name was Jussie Fitzgerald Shriver-Kennedy, and her name was Theodore Wadsworth Smitherton we would have seen precisely the same outcome. Regular shmoes like the rest of us would have shaken our heads at the two-tier justice system, of powerful people behind the scenes pulling strings to make problems disappear, and they would have outlandishly claimed that this was the justice system everyone got.
  4. I don't really think he left you any choice, did he? Cool name, if you like it, and it holds meaning for you, full speed ahead. I was just telling my sons Wherle and Mangpool the same thing about their future children.
  5. I met GC many years ago. He was appearing someplace in Ct, a good friend of mine was a relative of his and surprised me for my birthday. I wasn't much into his humor at the time, but he was a very nice guy. We had to cut through a strip club next door to get backstage, and when I mentioned it, he laughed and said that being on the road was pretty much like that. One of my favorites stories from my friend was that one year, George sent out his holiday cards. He had taken a picture of his dog, who apparently liked to hump this cat he had. At the bottom of the photo, in holiday-worthy text, he simply put "PIECE!". Always trust the Germans.
  6. I was valedictorian of my 4th grade class though, and this is why it hurts. Still amazing to me how all these people are tied together one way or another.
  7. what an incestuous little world these people live in. I'm surprised kirsten would have forgotten signing a non-disclosure agreement, but that's probably pretty common when your dad worked for a sex cult for 4 months for $25k per and received a $100k settlement from them.
  8. But in fairness to Bob and his argument, IF the issue with Hillary WAS that she was denied clearance, and IF Barrack HAD overridden the decision and HAD lawfully excersized his authority to do so, THE TWO SCENARIOS WOULD HAVE BEEN SIMILAR! Assuming, of course, that Bob was as outraged by the actions of the Obama admin as he was by the Russian scoundrel puppet Trump.
  9. Interestingly, Hillary Clinton was granted clearance along the way and was revealed to be an extremely careless guardian of our national secrets. Reckless, and negligent according to her supporters, worthy of criminal referral according to some insiders. Perhaps the challenge there was the system, and the folks that suggest the system that allowed folks like these whistleblowers too much power. Complacency is one of the natural consequences of unfettered power. If only there was a process to override the system...
  10. ::grabs marbles, returns to tastefully decorated townhome in Ann Arbor:
  11. The problem is you're comparing Welches Grape Jelly to Nutella and have convinced yourself they are similar because they both spread easy on Freihofers 7 Grain bread. I don't know that your theory that their differences reveal their similarities, but if it works for you, who am I to argue? Just to clarify, I don't laugh at any of this stuff. If the Trump admin broke the law, let's hash that out. But making up reasons to be more disagreeable just because you don't like the prez is silly.
  12. I prefer Slender Lenster, I find "skinny" offensive. I have no issue with this exposure because it has nothing in common with the Hillary misdeed except we can use the word "clearance" when describing both scenarios. Can we agree that this is sorta a sad case to whistleblow on? Somebody did something within the scope of their authority, someone else got their feelings hurt, and wanted validation of their feelings?
  13. You attempted to make a point by manufacturing faux outrage about criminality while acknowledging the lack thereof one post later...and everyone else lacks objectivity? Bob...Bobby...Bobby Da Mich...Bobbaloo... come on. Be serious.
  14. That's mostly because you're applying critical thinking skills.
  15. I'd start with Mueller, the guy who was the guy until he wasn't the guy.
  16. The seriousness of the allegation alone requires us to look into this further!
  17. As long as there are people on the planet, and no "Instant Integrity" poll, there will be corruption, elites, the common man, and injustice. I believe virtually everything that Row said, though I generally stay away from labeling people trying to figure out how to get through the world. I've read your comments on the media and my only suggestion would be to temper your thoughts and consider the big picture. The fact that some of the media is complicit in the coup is relevant, of course, but acknowledging the strides we've made in our collective ability to point it out for consideration is a major step forward. 10-15 years ago, a guy like DR, Task, or you had very few places to go to vent and discuss things that you considered important. I mean Ham Radio sets were pretty cool but you could only reach so many people. The answer to freedom is more freedom. You're living the byproduct now with the Trump presidency. I'm thrilled to live in a time that allows for access to information however covered in sludge and slime it might be. Yet, the struggle continues. Temper your baser instincts. Put your anger and frustration to good use. I can't say I've ever been where you are now, philosophically, but I've driven through the neighborhood, metaphorically.
  18. The guy made millions as a senator gaming the system, would say or do pretty much anything to pursue is agenda, and sounds like this fall finally broke him. God bless theraband and glass doors.
  19. I tried to start a boycott against the movies "Beaches" and the non-Gaga "A Star is Born". Turns out the Blockbuster in our town closed at some point and has been replaced with a Chipolte. I guess someone beat me to it. I just got a culturally misappropriated burrito bowl instead.
  20. This shows my growth as a human. If he ran, won and implemented a platform o supported, I'd be thrilled and would let bygones be bygones. This also shows my pettiness as a human. I'd love to say it would then give me joy to stick it to the libs who idolize him, but I got a jump start on that when the MAGA hat/Trump buddy story broke. I know a couple guys who are both crazy libs and Brady uber fans, I acknowledged him as one of the greatest neocon QBs of all time. I acknowledged Kraft as a successful conservative owner. I inquired as to whether or not they were conflicted given that through the support they lend to Kraft & Brady, they actually helped get Trump elected and are global warming deniers. Good stuff.
