"Our compassion is in our laws" is possibly the most socialist-y thing someone could say.

FOR THE RECORD

An earlier version of this column said that Hillary Rodham Clinton makes five times the average American's annual income. She makes that amount per speech.

I hope she goes to jail. She sucks.

Now, don't get greedy. We should be very satisfied with a felony indictment.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 2:14 pm

True.

Note, as a security manager for my squadron, this Hillary shit makes my head explode. If an Airman leaves a classified document unguarded in a room that even others with a proper clearance and need to know exist, the mere fact that it was left out is enough to cause a major decurity incident.

But this shit....my God. This is career ending, significant fines, never hold a clearance again level craziness.

Prisoners in Florida used to grow a lot of their own food. Not no' more. Now some big company feeds them slop for a few hundred mil a year because they had the politicians. Capitalism the American way!

People apparently have no idea how much a death row defense costs, because we still love putting mf-ers on death row in Florida. Sure, some of them absolutely deserve it, but the majority are so borderline that it's clearly just the fault of bloodthirsty prosecutors representing bloodthirsty constituents.

I'm telling y'alls, there's no way Clinton gets the nomination unless the Dems figure they just want to sacrifice her and get her out of their hair. I still don't think she ends up getting it.

Trump's hotel business would fold if they shipped all the immigrants back down south.

My fav is how Trump believes he'll force Mexico to pay for a wall to be built on the border. W.T.F.

My wife and I were up at a couple wineries in Napa a few days ago. When I drive around and see the folks in farm country - vineyards, or fruit orchards, or vegetable fields, I am reminded how none of that stuff would get planted, produced or harvested, if Trump's walls on the border were actually a reality.

I had to speak at a Connecticut Chamber of Commerce event last night. At the end of the event, the Chamber President made some announcements, and went on a rant about how the government is destroying small business owners. He mentioned several times that he has always been apolitical, but he implored everyone to vote for Trump, because he is the only candidate who wants to help businesses succeed. I wish I had a video of the crowd reaction. A mix of groans and laughter with a lot of hilarious expressions of surprise and disgust.

If Trump's walls were actually a reality in 1840, would've kept all those pesky white people out of Cali. They didn't cross the boarder, the boarder crossed them!

He doesn't. He will say anything to rally the nutters.

Heard an interesting tidbit that Dr. Carson used to run experiments on fetal tissue. Can't wait to read into this one and hear how Carson tries to weasel out of this.

He said what he used was different fetal tissue. He said because what he used was from dead fetuses, not from fetuses killed specifically to provide tissue for experimentation.

(Which, of course, is not what PP did. and you have to be an idiot to think PP did that, much less to accuse PP of killing fetuses specifically for the purpose of providing experimental matter. Which is what PP is accused of. Now, that accusation coming from Carson, in defense of his own actions. What a fucking shit show.)

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 1:05 pm

I don't get the whole fiasco there. You know they are aborting fetuses, but it's legal and we already argue this. Why would it be better to throw them away rather than to use them for something?

Atleast Trump came out with a strong statement, right?

Trump, told of the alleged assault, said “it would be a shame . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

It's a quote allegedly made by Michelle Bachmann. It reads:

Michelle Bachmann allegedly wrote:There are those who say a border wall won't work. They just don't have the vision Donald Trump does. The Chinese built a great wall 5,000 years ago to keep illegals out. You don't see any illegal Mexicans in China.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Thu Aug 20, 2015 12:42 pm

Shows how dumb she really is:

Illegal immigration in China is a major problem, particularly with North Korean refugees and defectors fleeing their country.[1] The Chinese government actively discourages this type of behavior out of fears that it may cause instability in the region and encourage more illegal immigration.[2] The government has been criticized for its aggressive approach to illegal immigration.[3][4][5][6]
