45940. judithathome - 5/30/2015 7:25:15 PM I wouldn't count on anything within the "legal" system in Texas being sorted out....the Governor is a former circuit judge and some of the verdicts HE handed down were disgraceful...so don't count on "justice" down here. 45941. iiibbb - 6/26/2015 4:09:58 PM It is somewhat delightful that the more recalcitrant the Republicans become, the more they have been losing the fights where they've been drawing the lines. 45942. Ms. No - 6/26/2015 6:37:31 PM Supreme Court Affirms Gay Marriage Rights
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Martin Luther King, Jr. 45943. Trillium - 6/27/2015 5:46:30 AM Hopefully MLK Jr.'s principles prevail in this case, which is odd:
Brian Bell
"Rev. Floyd Rose, who is black, is president of a local civil rights organization and originally backed the Johnson family. "You won't find a person of any reputation in this town who says that boy was murdered," he tells USA TODAY Sports. "Are there other injustices around here? You bet there are. But this is not one of them"
"Brian and his older brother, Branden, appear to have solid alibis for the time when Johnson was seen on school surveillance footage entering the gym on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2013. Brian was in class and Branden was out of town for a wrestling tournament, law enforcement officials say." 45944. judithathome - 7/20/2015 12:19:38 AM Watching This Week on ABC and the way Donald Trump is defending his despicable comments about John McCain...yea for Martha Raddatz facing that asshole down. Link
This jerkoff actually seems to be asking Martha if it is "fair" that people attack his HAIR...and he states that he was not called to serve in Viet Nam due to bone spurs ....oh, bless your pathetic "patriotic" heart, asshole. 45945. vonKreedon - 7/21/2015 4:22:53 PM I'm afraid that Trump is going to burn out before making the debates. In addition to denigrating McCain's service he also denigrated communion and the Christian need for forgiveness. He may not make it through the week. 45946. judithathome - 7/21/2015 9:42:08 PM Are you kidding? He's STILL leading in the polls today!
And this, after his attack on Lindsey Graham! And giving out Graham's cell phone number!
People (questionable as to whether their IQs top double digits...) are loving his "bravado" in speaking "truth to power". 45947. vonKreedon - 7/24/2015 2:59:50 AM He's angry and mouthy and rich and white and narcissistic, so he appeals to the maximalist conservatives who feel betrayed by the Repub party. But even they blanched at his attack on McCain's war record, and they despise McCain. It appears that Trump will make it to at least the first debate, so that's all good. 45948. judithathome - 7/24/2015 9:03:22 PM Y'all HAVE to see this: Jon Stewart: Summer Trumpin' 45949. bhelpuri - 7/27/2015 6:11:10 AM I must say I very much love seeing Trump lead the Republican polling by a super-wide margin. It is confirmation of everything I believe: that Party has been overrun by lunatics, they are deeply unserious, they cannot be entrusted with serious power. In effect, they are unelectable.
Of course, I am no great Clinton fan either. However, with her, the Repubs are going to see an actual game-changing liberal agenda (at home at least) which is much more left than anything they have been crying wolf about with regard the doggedly moderate, bridge-building Obama. These next few years are going to be fun to watch. 45950. bhelpuri - 7/27/2015 6:19:51 AM As the last few months have indicated --> the immediate US culture wars are over. The progressives have won. If/when Clinton wins, we will have evidence of a comprehensive rout. 45951. judithathome - 7/27/2015 7:25:56 PM Huckabee just "poo'd in his nest" to clean up an old Southern line that is used when someone makes a mess out of their surroundings...in this case, his hopes to become President.
Huckabee GOES There 45952. arkymalarky - 7/28/2015 12:13:45 AM There's a reason the bumper sticker "shut the Huck up" was popular in AR when he was guv. His aw shucks RFD way is a very thin veneer that national media often buys because they haven't seen what Arkies have. 45953. judithathome - 7/28/2015 4:04:40 PM Well, if anyone has any intelligence at all, they should see this charlatan for the yahoo he really IS: Who needs chemo when you have huckstering Mike on your side? 45954. vonKreedon - 7/28/2015 8:07:52 PM NBC/Marist Polls Show Donald Trump Running Strong in Iowa, NH

45955. judithathome - 7/28/2015 8:54:47 PM Trust me...the money guys who are buying this election aren't going to go for Bernie. No effing way.... 45956. vonKreedon - 7/28/2015 11:14:01 PM Bernie's definitely a threat to the system, and every now and then the people vote contrary to the money.
45957. judithathome - 8/3/2015 7:53:12 PM Right...but not TODAY.
I think it is absolutely disgusting that people are "reporting" on the deathbed request of Joe Biden's son that Joe run for President...were these people THERE? 45958. judithathome - 8/18/2015 7:55:06 PM Piyush Jindal just came out in favor of Trumps "no birthright exception"....wonder if he'd like it so much if it were to be made retroactive? 45959. iiibbb - 8/20/2015 12:54:39 PM My wife always threatens to leave the country if a Republican wins as President. I tell her that she better get a kick-ass job because I don't think I'd be looking for work.
However...if Trump wins I might lead the charge. Holy fuck.
