I’ll be honest with you.... I find a woman who slept around to benefit her career 30 years ago less displeasing than guys like Rudy Guiliani who are using their position of power to try and bang chicks who would never otherwise be willing so sleep with said old wrinkledy guy.

It doesn’t matter what the minimum wage is raised to.... you’ll never have a good life working an entry level job. Raising minimum wage only raises the cost of everything by a comparable level. It doesn’t do anything to eliminate poverty. You don’t get to live the dream because you demand it.. you get to live it by outperforming others. That’s been true since we were throwing spears at woolly mammoths, and it will always be true. I’ve got a kid that’ll be 21 next month that’s making over $19/hour working at Walmart with benefits AND they’re paying for his tuition to earn an online bachelors. But he can pass a drug test and knows how to bust his tail. It’s crazy how things start to work out when you combine those two things.

The way the Ds act in the next month or two will determine whether we start to heal or continue moving towards a war amongst ourselves. Rahm Emanuel was on at least two different news show this morning demanding that any congressman who voiced concerns over election results should be criminally charged. Pay no mind to the fact that the Dems did the same thing in ‘01, 05, and 17.... these Rs must be punished.

That’s all I’ve been saying.

That also describes a lot of stay at home moms.

Which of those guys were later elected to run our country based on their business acumen?

So? Kobe Bryant inherited his athleticism and we didn’t hold that against him. He still went out and worked and won those rings. Trump’s old man didn’t hand him all of those hotels, businesses and the presidency. He accomplished quite a bit on his own. Seriously, though... as often as Trump’s companies filed for bankruptcy, I was surprised that he had a problem folding up shop when it became obvious that he’d lost.

You have to admit that it’s a little disingenuous to celebrate the first woman elected as vp in our country who, by her own admission, slept with her superiors for political appointments early on. No reason to call her names, but it’s not something I’d want my daughters aspiring to.

I’m not gonna lie... it’s gonna be about two years before it really starts heat up and I’ll probably wait until then to start paying attention. Republicans need to process that what happened to Trump isn’t just the fault of Democrats. He shot himself at every step of the way. And it’s not okay to say “well, he’s a little rough around the edges and he makes people angry, but.....” as an attempt to justify sub-par behavior. Demand better from the guy carrying our flag. Watch what happens if the Dems try to crap all over Rs over the next couple of years... they won’t be in power long. I’ve been watching the news this morning and they’re out for blood. It’ll bite them in the next election cycle if that’s their game plan.

I think that’s why they’re going after Cruz so hard right now... he’s the heir apparent to the Trump vote.

Oh, I’ll absolutely toss one out if somebody deserves it. I just won’t insult a whole group of people because we feel differently on political issues.

True to an extent. Guys like Reagan (the former president, not the guy hunched over his keyboard, cackling while reading the latest “just wait until you see what Trump has up his sleeve” stories) was an actor as a young man, Carter was a Peanut Farmer, GW Bush worked in oil. But they all had some executive experience in politics before becoming president. If you are a newly elected county commissioner or county judge in Texas who was sworn in on the first of this month, you’re expected to be in class tomorrow (1/11) in College Station for training, because you obviously have no idea what’s going on or what’s legal. But we expect some guy who’s never even been a county commission to prance in and run the whole show. Having Trump as your president makes about as much sense as having him perform open heart surgery on you, just because you think most doctors are quacks.

Must be some good stuff. 6.5/10.... would smash.

I hope you’re not right.

Yeah.... I felt the same way when people were proclaiming Obama as the best ever. “No, he’s your FAVORITE President ever... not the best.” Trump was getting decent marks for the economy, and he honestly didn’t get us in any wars like the Dems predicted. Otherwise there’s not much to brag on regarding trump. This fiasco at the end of his term moves him way down towards the bottom of the list. Way down there.

Yes, I’m certain that he did. Somebody was still writing articles TODAY about how Trump was still gonna pull it out based on an affidavit written by some Italian guy. It’s bonkers.

I don’t know what you do for a living, but do you think somebody who’s never been in that industry would waltz in and be the best fit for CEO/President of your company, or do you think it would be a little bit of a disaster?

Well, obviously.... he lost, didn’t he?

This was literally posted 5 hours ago. I’m surprised Reagan hasn’t already posted it... I know he subscribes to this page. I just wish these knuckleheads would shut up. [Hidden Content]

I do think it’s remarkable that you haven’t heard a lot of “but she was unarmed” complaints about the woman who was shot and killed inside the Capitol. I mean, I’ve seen a couple but they didn’t gain traction. I feel the same way that I feel every time some person of any color mixes it up with a cop and doesn’t make it.... play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I don’t know as much about Crenshaw... but I like what I’ve seen. I’m not sure he’s ready, though. Look what happens when you put in a first term senator or business person, lol. Cruz has come a long way from that uncompromising guy that went to Washington. I think he might be attractive to Hispanics as well. And honestly, the thing about his wife bugs me, too. On the other hand, I think we need Rs that remember it’s a team sport, unlike Rand Paul, Romney, the late McCain, and a few others that can’t remember to get in line when the time comes. Cruz is a really, really smart legislator and litigator. The thing with Trump’s certification bid was purely a push to appeal to Trump voters for 2024.

Ummm... the riot has to actually happen before you can be charged with inciting it.

I moved out of BC a couple of years ago. I’m not like LCM-17 who keeps changing schools on us.

Double.

I can’t believe I didn’t get an invite. I’m a hoot at parties.
