BILL CLINTON SMOKING

Clinton routinely loved a good cigar, but he kept his smoking habit out of the view of many. Here’s a rare photo of him indulging on a fine Cuban cigar. And of course, we all remember what he did with one famous cigar, right?

 

While what Trump said was wrong, and I really wish Cruz or Carson would have been the Republican nominee our choice was between Trump and a women who at the time of  the election was receiving millions of dollars from other countries, was under investigation for crimes and incompetence as Secretary of state over her e-mails and had destroyed hard-drives that had her records on them.

Trump was not President in 2005 when he made those remarks, Bill Clinton was President when he did more then just grab that Pudding.

So tell me why now the outrage? 

Are this outraged when you hear people playing rap music?

A study conducted by Kate Conrad M.A. and PhD, Travis L. Dixon PhD, and Yuanyuan Zhang M.A. and PhD in "Controversial Rap Themes, Gender Portrayals and Skin Tone Distortion: A Content Analysis of Rap Music Videos" explored a content analysis of rap music videos aired on BET, MTV, and VH1 examined the occurrence of controversial themes, gender differences, and skin tone distortion. By examining and coding these music videos, Conrad, Dixon, and Zhang identified eight major themes across the videos: materialism, misogyny, violence, love, political awareness, expression of culture, disaffection toward mainstream society, and creating community unity. Within materialism, coders recorded high occurrence of materialism when characters were shown purchasing and consuming expensive clothing, jewelry, and cars, as well as living a lavish lifestyle continually throughout the video.
