To be fair, the reorganized Clinton entities are an improvement, and I understand Chelsea has taken on real leadership and oversight roles there.

Cause the slur fits -- It really is what happens to those willfully Trumpf-addled.

It was more the "Woman" than "Democrat" imo. Oh, and "Clinton", too -- that made the Rethugs go blind with rage.

You just DON'T talk politics, but both parties have to be ironclad signatories. Yeah, you're right- tricky...

It's becoming a very close call, IMO.

Ah, the "unmasking scandal"; funny that they're fine trying to unmask the whistleblower.

Like I said, best friend....for more than 30 years, bandmates for almost that long. It's not like he's a right wing racist or anything' quite the opposite. Just a REALLY stubborn motherfucker. I assume he finds traits in me that are equally exasperating. Real friendships are complicated.

Agree to never discuss politics, it's pretty much the only way.

Right in the gold!And so was Clinton when she said it was a good thing Donald Trump wasn't running the law in the U.S. (Although he's getting closer to that with every unqualified stooge of a right wing judge he has appointed.) I not only remember his threat, "Because you'd be in jail," and his typically false promise to his supporters that he'd appoint a special investigator to nail her once he was POTUS, I remember (who doesn't?) the way he backed down afterwards."Hey, it played well on campaign, but we're past that now, right?"Wrong.We're not even past the Central Park Five or you being a casino owner, bastard.I think his handlers, back in those early days when he still had occasional flashes of sanity, conveyed to him with great care, "Oh mighty President, it would not be a good idea because you'd look vindictive, and also there is no chance of a conviction in anything like a properly constituted court by due process of law."Apparently he listened.Like I said. When he was still comparatively sane.Today it's "Get me an improperly constituted court and undue process of law, then!"

I need Louie Gohmert to learn how to make a damned chart. Louie, you pick one shape and color for PEOPLE- one for PRIVATE COMPANIES- one for US GOVERNMENT ORGANS- one for OTHER. If you think some are particularly important please indicate that with placement, size and potentially outlining.

Next: different relationships!
