Yeah, the way you and FF seem to like to post stuff that ends up making her look good, she may as well skip the election and just be appointed President.

From the article attached to your like, "There was never any evidence linking the Clintons to any of it."


Yeah and if it wasn't for the cum stain on the blue dress, there wouldn't have been any evidence linking Monica to blowing Billy Boy either. And Slick Willie had no clue Monica would be hanging onto the garment. And sure as shit Bill and Hillary would have denied it for the rest of history.

That would be the Democrat way to elect people, wouldn't it?


I have no idea since I'm not a Democrat.

But, it certainly seems to be the Republican way to elect Democrats.

No, but by the Constitution's standards, Fiske had no basis to charge the Clinton's with anything. Everything you posted is hearsay, at best. None of this is going to change an election...all it will do is remind anti-Clinton people why they are anti-Clinton, and those are not votes lost...and it may remind Democrats why they were sick of hearing all of this crap back then and how it was a huge waste of time and money...and it may gain votes for them.

I think a "special counsel to investigate the President" should just be appointed by the losing party. They are always so jealous of the loss, they find a reason to investigate anyway.

So? Neither did Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or the voices in FF’s head. Should their political views be off limits, too? If that’s so, this thread will be hurting for content. You blab about free markets while your sig contains a quote from one of the most famous socialists of all time. It’s cognitive dissonance on a massive level. If I told you that Mao’s little red book had a killer recipe for stir fried baby bok choy, would you add it to your recipe binder? I guess Republicans are used to holding multiple conflicting beliefs. Water boarding isn’t torture. Nooo. Why, in fact, it’s a form of enhanced freestyle swimming! Weakening emission standards isn’t pollution. Nooo. Instead, it’s the Bob Ross Fluffy Happy Skies Act! And so and so on..
slucero wrote:I recognize and appreciate Einsteins intellectual prowess separate from his political leanings (unlike you)

Yea sure. Uh huh. Much like how you admire Jimmy Carter’s humanitarian peanut farming skills separate from his political leanings, rite? Or Jane Fonda's acting skills separate from her politics? More likely, you had NO FUCKING CLUE about Einstein’s radical politics. And before you get any quick ideas about changing your sig to a Stephen Hawking quote…fair warning – he’s also a LIBERAL! Let me know if you find any GOP theoretical physicists. Trust me, Perry rejoining Journey and causing a tear in the fabric of space time will happen before you can locate one.

Oh yea? And how often do you interject into threads like uninvited in-laws at a groom’s bachelor party? Hypocrite. Here’s a clue – this is a public message board, where anybody can write to anyone. Y’know, kind of like those “for a good time call..” messages you scrawl on gas station bathroom walls. If you want to trade snapchat ass photos with Monker, that’s fine. But do it on your own time.

Combine this with your unfortunate freak electric pencil sharpening accident and it’s little wonder you harbor such gender animosity. Luckily you have found your way back to the official party of thin-skinned, small pricked losers.

Hey Mr. Roundup, wrong again. This investigation of Bill and Monica's sex activities in the oval office was during his second term. So he wasn't reelected after this investigation. Just go back into your parent's basement and inhale some more roundup, you'll be funnier and not as much so ignorant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Obama state during a speech "I told you I would end the war in Iraq, and I ended it"? Looks like Baghdad is headed into ISIS rule any time now.

Somewhat off topic but interesting:

Seattle Creates “Indigenous People’s Day” to Coincide With Columbus Day

"The Seattle City Council unanimously passed a resolution Monday commemorating "Indigenous People's Day," which will be celebrated every year on the second Monday of October, aka the federal Columbus Day holiday. "

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/ ... on_of.html

Some people are cheering it while others are having an opposite reaction:

"Now the same white male power structure that made Black History Month the shortest month in the calendar and sabotaged the Susan B. Anthony dollar by making it indistinguishable from a quarter is at it again. And the oppression is coming from the supposedly sympathetic, progressive side: The city of Seattle, Washington, has designated an “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” on the second Monday of October — a day already reserved for the federal Columbus Day holiday."

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/3 ... -cavanaugh

The Seattle City Council was not the first to come up with this idea:

"Berkeley replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day in 1992."

http://ipdpowwow.org/IPD%20History.html

I don't see anything wrong with recognizing Native Americans for their rich history and culture. But I think it would have been better to choose a day other then one reserved to recognize another important person in history. Heck, they could have even asked representatives of Native Americans if there would be a significant day and\or time of the year to celebrate something about their culture besides the same day as Columbus Day or any other major holiday. Instead they have created controversy and make it look like they are making some type of statement about Columbus and his place in history.

You sound like someone who just started taking an interest in politics yesterday. This is what ALWAYS happens. And then the pendulum swings again. Recall Karl Rove promising a "permanent Republican majority for the next 40 years"?? How did that turn out? Or how about James Carville? Who, after Obama won, promised that "This majority will guarantee that the Democrats remain in power for the next forty years.” If the GOP wins, they will try to enforce a Paul Ryan-style slash and burn approach to Medicare, Social Security, and get their asses kicked out again. Welcome to the reality of a SHAM two party system. You can go back to sleep now. I'll take it from here.

Second US Ebola diagnosis 'deeply concerning', admits CDC chief

"Hospital officials said the employee had worn full protective clothing during all contact with Duncan. CDC director Dr Tom Frieden warned in a media briefing that other hospital staff could also have been exposed to the virus and may show symptoms in the coming days."

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/second ... ar-BB8UFz0

So my question is if she was fully protected during contact with Duncan, then how did she become infected? The CDC and others keep telling the public that Hospitals are able and prepared to handle cases of Ebola to contain possible further outbreaks. Yet in reality it seems they are not so prepared or are making simple mistakes in protocol.

Well why not? There's no cause for concern. All that's happened is a person attending to an Ebola patient in a hospital where they are supposed to contain and treat Ebola victims has become infected as well. Nothing alarming at all.

CDC urges all US hospitals to 'think Ebola'

"We have to rethink the way we address Ebola infection control," Frieden said, "because even a single infection is unacceptable."

"Before the nurse's illness, those who cared for that patient while he was in isolation were told to check themselves for fever or signs of illness but weren't monitored by health officials. The nurse self-reported her fever."

"Frieden said the CDC is doubling down on Ebola training and support for hospitals and health care workers. But they still don't know exactly how the nurse, whose name was not released, was exposed to the virus despite wearing the recommended protective gear."

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/cdc-ur ... ar-BB96fYv


At the outset the CDC was stating that Hospitals were prepared and knew how to handle Ebola cases. Yet as time goes on it's becoming clear that they aren't so prepared and now the CDC doesn't seem so confident in there initial plan of action. It astounds me that the healthcare workers that were involved in treating Duncan were not being monitored by health officials.

When discussing Ebola, they are now screening people coming from the areas where outbreaks have occurred. My question is how many cases of people entering the U.S. with Ebola will it take for them to ban flights to and from the outbreak areas?

The Secret Victims of Iraq’s Chemical Arms

"The secrecy fit a pattern. Since the outset of the war, the scale of the United States’ encounters with chemical weapons in Iraq was neither publicly shared nor widely circulated within the military. These encounters carry worrisome implications now that the Islamic State, a Qaeda splinter group, controls much of the territory where the weapons were found.

The American government withheld word about its discoveries even from troops it sent into harm’s way and from military doctors. The government’s secrecy, victims and participants said, prevented troops in some of the war’s most dangerous jobs from receiving proper medical care and official recognition of their wounds."

That's a very limited and deceptive quote, Boomchild. If you actually read the NYTimes article, I'm sure you noticed these parts...

"The United States had gone to war declaring it must destroy an active weapons of mass destruction program. Instead, American troops gradually found and ultimately suffered from the remnants of long-abandoned programs, built in close collaboration with the West.

The discoveries of these chemical weapons did not support the government’s invasion rationale.

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Bush insisted that Mr. Hussein was hiding an active weapons of mass destruction program, in defiance of international will and at the world’s risk. United Nations inspectors said they could not find evidence for these claims.

Then, during the long occupation, American troops began encountering old chemical munitions in hidden caches and roadside bombs. Typically 155-millimeter artillery shells or 122-millimeter rockets, they were remnants of an arms program Iraq had rushed into production in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war. All had been manufactured before 1991, participants said."

There's nothing deceptive about what I posted from the article. It would be if I was to add commentary such as "see here's proof that Iraq had WMDs, the Bush administration was right". I was focused on the point that there is concern that ISIS has control over areas where this stuff was found. Also, the disgraceful actions by our military in not telling soldiers about the old chemical weapons risk and withholding the information from military doctors.
