I recall no one ever stating that Clinton was worse than Hitler. Biden's challenges (among others) is he has been around forever and was never remotely close to being good enough to earn the nomination, he was active in the last admin that unmasked/surveilled/spied upon the political op (and was either duplicitous enough to be involved, neutered to the point he was not part of the activity, or clueless enough to have it happen on his watch), he has a laundry list of racially charged comments, he changes positions based on the political environment, he has a history of lies/plagiarism charges/fanciful tales, and the repubs havent started on him yet. On the plus side, he's likable if you dont care about all his negatives, he will be use his son's death to connect with sympathetic voters, and he will say what he wants regardless of how it makes him appear. Also, on the plus sides, dem voters will vote for malaise, overegulation, excessive taxation and against their best interests virtually every time. To paraphrase and appropriate Will Ferrel in "Kicking and Screaming", Clinton and Biden are "Different...they are both worse different."

And the Daytime Emmy for Most Overwrought Performance in a Cheesy Political Drama is...Tiberius Ocasio-Cortez!

Wait...I had you pegged as Chef Jim...Carey. You know, the Mask guy. Ace from Ventura. Your name is Jim, you mentioned you live in Cali, and you have that cool split personality Chef artwork in your profile? If you're just some guy named Jim, why am I following you? I mean, why wouldn't I care about what some multi-millionaire unstable comedian accused of giving his gf an std and driving her to suicide has to say?

Interesting to me that Flynn is said to have been surprised by the late-December expulsion of the 35 Russians by Obama. He apparently said he could understand expelling one, but 35? I keep coming back to this incident as it really bothered me. It seemed to me that Obama played very fast, and very loose with national security dumping this sort of incident on the incoming admin, and it gets worse with each revelation. It's like he gave Trump bad directions to the International Diplomacy party, but to make doubly sure the admin got screwed over, he cut the brake lines to the presidential limo just to be sure they started off by driving off a cliff. Unreal.

Any Ol Dirty B who is willing to load up the trash talk truck and parlay it into investment advice is a-ok with me. I'm going to buy some jewelry, have it stolen, recover it, sell it and #beatwallstreet.

We got him on the ropes. Sure he's 56 but he's a scared 56.

And, his Mom can put the booster seat back in so he'll be safe on the ride home.

Escobar, Casper Melanoma, some chubbo wearing Greg Brady's bad luck tiki and Tommy from Goodfellas in this massive open body of water and they are close enough to press tater tots. That's just weird, and they should all be indicted for assaulting my eyes. They can throw the book at the rhino too as far as I'm concerned.

I think that line is from a song she sang: From a distance You look like my friend, even though we are at war. From a distance, I cannot comp-re-hend why you would slam your dick in a door.

I'm not sure what facade I can't see through, but I suppose that's the nature of a facade. If he's welcomed at the facility, and JA enjoys the interaction, what's the beef? He's a HOF qb, with experience in 4 SB, with a background that includes youthful arrogance, maturation as football player, some very unfortunate personal family health issues, reaching the (near pinnacle) of the NFL and experience with media/pressure/fans/football that few possess. If JA is the qb we hope he can become, time with JK will do him no harm. Personally, I'd think his feedback on things he might have done differently as a player is where the benefit lies.

I always heard: runnin down a dream num-uh-nomma mystery and lost interest. His dream should be to learn to enunciate.

Ha! Thats is why I would go, it would be epic, Mr. Smartest Person in the Room*!!! *updated so as not to offend liberals

My burden is I like "True Colors" version by PC...and the original by Cyndi Laup(n)er. I also like "Last Dance with Mary Jane" by TP, not much else, but would definitely go to see him if he ever toured again.

That's a question worth asking. Boat sees it as political maneuver that allows the dems to walk back to some reasonable level. I think the liberal wing of the dem party thinks it's entirely reasonable for a woman to terminate a pregnancy from conception to crowning, no questions asked, taxpayer dime and no cost to the woman. I think some would go farther than that if allowed. I hope I'm wrong.

Guilty, but you had mentioned the commentary about Markle and referenced "more locker room talk" which I took as a comment re: Access Hollywood Tape. The bigger issue was context re: things people say and the subsequent spin. I just wondered if there was common ground to find, but there appears not to be.

The issue is context, and no, of course I don't advocate sexual assault, nor do I see any scenario where he did. The context, imo, is that people talk the way he did in that case, that it's not at all uncommon, and that there are certainly women in the world who would be agreeable to that sort of contact from a wealthy/powerful/celebrity. It's not limited to men, or women, or man to woman or woman to man. I'm only saying it because it's the truth. Hell, one of the most famous families of the last 20 years got started with a relationship to a homicide and a mom releasing a sex tape of her daughter. Yet, in a dialogue with a trump hater, you get the obligatory "it's assault and do you support sexual assault?" follow up because they disregard context because it suits the agenda. Was it vulgar? Absolutely. I think most most people hold their noses at certain times when it comes to politics. I just don't see any reason to pretend they don't because someone is offended by something someone said a decade ago, and said offense posturing.

I don't judge, too much downside. I had actually typed in Ted Bundy before realizing something seemed not quite right.

Well, on this note, I like to ask folks about things like "locker room talk" and context. 1. Is there such a thing as "locker room talk"? 2. Was what he said untrue of some women?

Bob Seger. The path to enlightenment and the Dalai Lama. Al Bundy. Chicago Cubs lore. Herschel Walker. Bill Buckner. Eternal damnation. And thats just on one page. A Bills fans heart is a deep ocean.

I don't know where you practice your law stuff but I'll tell you this--I believed you when you said it was constitutional, and believe you now when you say it wasn't. I guess it's both.

Ah-i needed a lawyer one time about 20 years ago for an allegation by a former employee. It was a baseless claim, brought by an unscrupulous individual who was no longer an employ because, well, she lacked ethical clarity in her life. Ultimately, i prevailed but it cost me quite a bit of money when I had very little to spare. Very stressful as well. Yeah, give me the attorney who is state of the art current every time.

Can you explain in a way that makes it both unconstitutional and an act of treason? That's the money shot.

At the risk of hounding you on this issue, people are crazy. They kill other people, it happens everyday. If there is an option to terminate a pregnancy as the child is being born, people will do it, doctors will perform the procedure and off they go. Not all people, not most people...but then again all/most people don't kill other people but we still have laws that address those that do. i understand the feelings on religious extremists, but in this case, they choose life, while the other crazies are pretty much demanding death on demand AND taxpayer funding to carry it out. Good call on cuomo--we agree there. Have a good day.

I guess I don't see it as an exception, and feel I have as much right to an opinion as anyone else. I think we allow it to be treated as an exception, which in and of itself is a problem. On this issue, I have been educated. I used to tell my children that at some point in a pregnancy, almost everybody is pro-life and comfortable suggesting the termination of a pregnancy would be horrific. I was wrong.

Don't we always, as a collective, force our beliefs on someone else?
