Man, no kidding on your last line there.

Logic? WHAT logic? That's just for those "pointy-headed" "libtards" and "cheese-eating surrender-monkeys", so I hear.

Welcome to DU, Kirkwood!

I've certainly never said that and don't think I can ever see clear to say that.

I love President Obama. He's the only one I can, honesty and in good conscience, refer to as President. That orange guy? Not so much. I can, however address that other guy as Resident since he does, unfortunately, live in OUR White House.

Probably what he usually donates, which as far as I've read and observed, is near zero.

And if he waits till the end of the year to "donate his salary", please remember that he can pocket it every pay-period until the end of the year, and keep all the interest he'll have earned on it.

I'd venture to say some of these assholes agree with the caller I ACTUALLY HEARD, calling in

to the limbaugh program several years ago. With the following "observation":

"this country's gone downhill ever since women got the right to vote."

They are NOT going away. And it seems as though, with the current climate to which trump brought us, and to which he has given "legitimacy" and "respectability", and how he has thus given these assholes a seat at the table, it appears there are more of them now than ever before. And they're proud-as-punch to be allowed out of the closet, or the attic, and into the open.

I have heard it said that passing a kidney stone is the ONLY way a man can relate

to a woman's labor pains. It's that painful.

Having had two babies and no kidney stones, I can't vouch for that comparison, but I have seen my husband suffer with them. And he did, indeed, suffer.

Welcome to DU, NunnesBuznat!

One could certainly hope. But I have VERY little confidence in Director Comey at this point. That would be about the only way he could rehabilitate himself and his reputation (or what's left of it), in my opinion.

Welcome to DU, Butterflylady!

I CANNOT forgive Comey for this. Aw gee, what a shame for him and his "mild case of nausea" that he MIGHT ("might"??? Are you freakin' KIDDING ME????) have influenced the election?

Hey, Comey: take two of these and don't bother calling me, EVER. Shoving them straight up your ass would be my advice if I was compelled to give you any.

Take a number.

Take a number, my friend. I bet there's quite a long line there. He didn't assuage ANY of my fears or concerns or suspicions. Not at all.

This whole argument about "Speak" or "Conceal." How come it only applied to Hillary and not to the then-ongoing investigation of trump/Russia? If he was so damned interested in fair play and doing the right thing, why didn't he try to make sure the playing field stayed level? Why did he choose "Speak" for Clinton and "Conceal" for trump?

Better yet: WHY DIDN'T HE WAIT TIL HE KNEW WHAT HE HAD - BEFORE HE BLABBED? Wouldn't it raise fewer suspicions if one simply waited to see what there was, before making some premature public pronouncement with all kinds of ominous undertones that he HAD TO understand would be there? Why amputate the limb before you confirmed whether it was actually cancerous or not?

He hasn't eased my suspicion ONE BIT. He hasn't convinced me otherwise - AT ALL. Just cements my latest impression of him.

Interesting you bring that up, re: Senator Warren.

I'm kinda there where you are, too. For reasons I won't bother bringing up here, for the sake of not re-litigating the last round.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
