I'm not a huge fan of "The Donald", but I have to give him full marks on his dealings with the media. He's got this one nailed as far as strategy is concerned. Let's see how he executes.

Knight forks King/Queen anyone?

    Loaded With Thumbs Ups

    Actually I got the idea from some Canadians who found him similar to people from Ottawa area of Ontario. BC, Alberta, Yukon, Saskatchewan. I'll do their version of the Ten Thousand Dollar Heist. over in the Ontario Debt Thread.

    I guess karma was at work. Then Branden did the same thing with another woman, which sparked the heavy duty disapproval and elimination of Branden

    Possible for sure, probable YES but all that aside he's still a left wing national socialist and that puts him a spit throw away from his supposed opponent a left wing international socialist.

    For all you supporters....the stiff arm salute is like this and the greeting is....Comrade We Serve The Party! That's We not I.

    Rand & Branden requested & received the consent of their respective spouses before beginning their relationship.

    I dont blame Monica Lewinsky really. Giver her status in life and the way political assignments work, why not be the presidents mistress? BUT, Bill should have known better. Most private CEO's would not have done what he did, although some do (with predictable consequences). Politicians do it all the time of course, thinking they can get away with no one knowing (bad judgment is the reason I want him impeached).
    I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Hillary confronted Bill. I really doubt she was hurt over the other woman thing- BUT she was pissed that Bill was hurting HER chances of political career. I bet she used a few choice words !!!! The real bit$# would have come out for sure.

    As to Dagny, I think Ayn Rand was telling us what SHE would do, and what she DID in real life with Nathaniel Branden. She went for the best that came around, as did Dagny. A bit more honesty would have been better appreciated by all, however. Rearden and/or Dagny should have told his wife, and Ayn Rand should have told her husband (maybe she did actually, I dont know)

    Not that it excuses it, but Monica was only 22 years old at the time, and Bill, by every measurable standard( take it as a pun if you wish!) was extremely charming, handsome and the President of the United States ! Not many 22 year old girls could have withstood that pressure/temptation !
    And, if we're criticizing Bill, Hillary and Monica, WHY does Dagney get a pass for cheating with a married man, or Hank for being a cheater ?!!! I keep thinking about Ayn Rand's different definition of right/ wrong vis-a-vis fidelity, justified only by whether it makes one happy. Seemingly without regard to bringing unhappiness to anyone else. On the one hand we're each responsible for our own happiness. On the other hand, what is a meadure of a person if it is not their word ?

    Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton has been Slick Willie's enabler,
    defender, cookie baker and interstitial lover through it all, so
    the Donald can make something of it. -- j

    I find it incredible that people are wooed by the media love for hillary. Her face is a thin veneer covering a really vicious bit%$ interior. I just get that feeling, and always have from her. Plus the fact she is a reincarnation of nixon with all his self preserving qualities. I am voting for Trump as he is the only one that can beat her and her media cronies

    The back-story has been circulating about why she was late coming back from the commercial break at the last debate, she refused to use the same public restroom, some O'Malley staffer was already in one of the three stalls and she was far above that... so she made them find her a private rest room to use. Her age, that funny gait of hers, you know she wears an adult diaper, didn't want anyone to leak that out... (pun intended). LOL... that's what Donald Trump was calling "Disgusting". And yeah, it is. She needs to fade into retired obscurity. Why is it that baby boomers refuse to just retire and let someone else take over? It's in politics, in the workplace, etc.

    Hillary had Vince Foster (dead), and there have been a lot of rumors about her preference for women and generally has always slept in a different bed or house from Bill.

    It really scared me that the man with the finger on the button would actually think some low life apprentice would keep quiet about having "cliinton sex" with the president. That was the biggest thing that ever happened or will happen to her. Terrible judgment

    Ah, but cunning and cleverness, intelligence does not make. I still see no underlying principals other than, "do what ever one must to succeed". [perhaps a definition of politics]
    Even though this is still a meme in the first tier of awareness and not at all integrating, I wonder if it matters if the grabbing of the gold ring produces a beneficial outcome. [meaning: using the oppositions rules against them]

    He was Impeached, but his cronies in the Democratic Party refused to convict and have him tossed out of office. He was also disbarred for lying while under oath. Small satisfaction, I know.

    I looked up "vicious bit$%" in the dictionary, and Hillary's picture was there

    Hillary could care less about women- except herself of course. Its pretty obvious, and it would be unfortunate if women in general think she stands up for them.

    Bill is just a user. He used Monica Lewinsky and actually thought she would keep quiet !!!! I wanted him impeached for showing such BAD judgment in thinking she would shut up about it. Of course she told all her friends within a few hours what happened.

    I have never liked Hillary. She presents a very thin veneer of civility which hides a very vicious and self serving person. It used to be obvious on her face, before her handlers doctored her up and taught her the current smiling face that the media must be paid off to constantly promote. She cares only about getting elected, and says whatever her handlers tell her to say. She pops up promoting the latest "buzz" slogans. Its pretty disgusting.

    I want to see a debate between Trump and Hillary. I think he will render her unelectable. He has no political correctness in him ( YEAH !!!) and will say it like it is.

    Anyone who does a media duel with Trump is a fool. He's been doing that for years and is as proficient at it as a seasoned performer.

    An idea for an editorial cartoon~
    Dragging his pants around his feet, Bad Billy provides Trump with a dump truck full of mud to dump on Broom Hillary during a debate.

    So have a lot of other people. And a surprising number of them all turned up dead. The Clintons are their own mafia.

    Leftists typically are anti-woman at their core. The female leftists are some sort of nihilist-masochist blend. This is why they aren't speaking up about the atrocities against women that are so obvious lately.

    I have heard things about her husband...that's all I'm gonna say about that...
