No, I think that maybe we should see other people from now on.
Well, you see, the thing is that I actually do think it's you rather than me. And I've previously explained my position on telling people what they want to hear just to make them happy if it means saying something I don't actually believe. Lying never ends well, even if done for the sake of social harmony (although that's an easier principle to uphold if one is single and unattached).GreenGoo wrote:Oh thank god.Max Peck wrote:]

Would it have killed ya to use the "it's not you, it's me" line? That's all I've ever wanted.

Some of my liberal clients DO put their money where their values are, and some of those investments have had amazing returns. The growing trend among charities is to use endowment investments to advance their mission by investment selection and shareholder voting.
Some of my conservative clients do the opposite. One charity can never support any environmental cause or any organization which ever denigrates the oil or fossil fuel industries.

At some point does anyone think that it will become apparent to Trump supporters that maybe it's a red flag that he can't seem to hire competent campaign staff?tjg_marantz wrote:Shake up time!

Funny because it's not far from the truth. All the people praising him for "self-funding" his campaign don't read the fine print that he is simply loaning the campaign money and then using campaign contributions to pay himself back with interest. That along with using all of his various businesses for campaign expenses he might be the first candidate to make a profit on the whole process.hepcat wrote:Moliere wrote:Trump’s Missing Money
I see how sincere you were with regard to your earlier claim to an ability to just let things go. Even an obvious joke, directly in response to your apparent joke, is a mortal insult to you. Your painful insecurity gives me an unironic sad.GreenGoo wrote:Lol, that's my point. Even in a pretend breakup with nothing on the line and no consequences whatsoever, you can't do it. Not only can't you admit you're wrong, you can't even pretend you're wrong.
You're kind of insufferable.
Let's call it mutual and ignore each other when hanging out with our friends here on OO.
Ok, the hell with it. You can even tell everyone you dumped me if it will get you to go away.

linkBy the time Chris Christie became governor of New Jersey, the state’s auditors and lawyers had been battling for several years to collect long-overdue taxes owed by the casinos founded by his friend Donald J. Trump.
The total, with interest, had grown to almost $30 million. The state had doggedly pursued the matter through two of the casinos’ bankruptcy cases and even accused the company led by Mr. Trump of filing false reports with state casino regulators about the amount of taxes it had paid.
But the year after Governor Christie, a Republican, took office, the tone of the litigation shifted. The state entertained settlement offers. And in December 2011, after six years in court, the state agreed to accept just $5 million, roughly 17 cents on the dollar of what auditors said the casinos owed.
You know anyone picked by Trump to be his running mate almost certainly will have a problem with established science, of course, but it turns out Pence is also a young Earth creationist. And one with a lot of conviction about it, too. In 2002, while a congressman from Indiana, he gave a short speech on the floor of Congress denying evolution, and used quite a few misleading, if not outright false, claims...
...
Then he said this:
And I also believe that someday scientists will come to see that only the theory of intelligent design provides even a remotely rationale explanation for the known universe.
...
Oof. Well, ID is not a theory, it’s just warmed-over creationism, and is now actually illegal to teach in public school because it’s religion, pure and simple. It was made illegal in 2004, two years after this speech, but ID was purposely constructed to be modified creationism since its inception (I'll note that Pence has made similar anti-evolution claims in the years since, too).
I feel that at the very least, a vice presidential candidate should uphold the Constitution, especially the First Amendment.
Donald Trump offered a blunt explanation for why he wants retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn at his side as he gets his first classified briefing at FBI headquarters on Wednesday — he doesn't trust intelligence information coming from those currently in charge.
"I think he's a great guy. I've gotten to know him. He's been a real fan of mine and defender of mine and he's a terrific guy, a terrific general — tough, smart. Feels like I do about illegal immigration, in particular," Trump told Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt in Milwaukee on Tuesday night. "He wants to make sure the right people are coming into our country, not the people that we're probably taking in right now. We don't even know who we're taking in. I mean, we have people coming into our country, we have no idea who they are, where they come from and he's somebody that I believe in."
Earhardt followed up by asking whether Trump trusts "intelligence."
"Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. I mean, look what's happened over the last 10 years. Look what's happened over the years. It's been catastrophic. And, in fact, I won't use some of the people that are sort of your standards, you know, just use them, use them, use them, very easy to use them, but I won't use them because they've made such bad decisions," said Trump, who will also be joined by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at the inaugural briefing. "You look at Iraq. You look at the Middle East. It's a total powder keg. It's a — if we would have never touched it, it would have been a lot better. I mean, we would have been much better off. On top of which, we've spent probably $4 trillion. Nobody even knows what we've spent. So, no, I have great people, and Gen. Flynn is one of them."

No idea...hepcat wrote:Those are all listed as being the product of one Peter Serafinowicz. I wonder if it's THE Peter Serafinowicz?
Donald Trump’s speech have caused uproar and outrage. Now Peter Serafinowicz has made them totally more bearable to listen to. The British actor and comedian – famous for his roles in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Shaun Of The Dead – has built up a considerable fan based for his Sassy Trump videos. In each video, Peter puts on a sassy voice and recites, verbatim, some of his most memorable speeches over video footage of him giving them.
All I can say is, typos and weird links and mentions of non-existent sections of gastroenterology and nonsensical medical information aside, the letter provides essentially no medical information.
