About Ms Bland and the officer.

These thoughts came from my wife.


She stated: "how many times I was growing up have I heard of Rapists and Murders dressing up like cops and stopping women? To this day I don't trust any cop car ...How easily can cars be turned into "official" looking cars. Anyone can get uniform and badges if they really wanted too. I would have "argued" about getting out of the car as well.

As for why he stopped her is crap. I've seen cops change lanes without signaling all the time."

What Christie and Trump have in common and maybe we should be concerned with it.

I will say this is my personal thoughts.. if this needs to be locked okay.


Watching Trump today I realized he is nothing more than a bully. We all know Christie is a bully. Think about it when you where in school you probably saw both these types of bullies. Christie is sort of the "working class" (sorry I offended ) but he reminds me of the type who comes blue collar neighborhood who gets in your face. If Christie could would punch someone but he can't so he yells shut up.

Trump on the other hand is the silver spoon bully. Uses his money to bully people.


What should be our concern is how much power and attention we give these type of people The country as a whole are like the kids on the sideline of whatever fight the bullies are picking claiming to root for the underdog but in reality they are enjoying the actions of the bully.


So there is Trump on top of the polls and only after 6 years are we seeing the slow fall of Christie... and how often I hear People in my area who basically thrilled with trump and Christie stating this is how the country should act.

Not to give Duggars more attention I am just posting that Anna Duggar (Josh's wife) delievered a

baby girl and she and Anna are resting well.

Regardless of Josh and the parents shameful actions and cover up. My wife was concerned the stress would effect his wife or the baby.

Perhaps people may call us troll but we didn't want to see anything like a miscarriage or the mother's life endanger because of all this coming out.

Now let's hope Anna gets a brain and get out of crazyville.

Video being Supressed another unarmed shooting. Watch

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/15/us/judge-orders-release-of-video-of-2013-police-shooting-in-california.html?_r=0




LOS ANGELES — A federal judge ordered a suburban Los Angeles city on Tuesday to release video of the police fatally shooting an unarmed man two years ago.

The public should be able to see what led the city of Gardena to pay $4.7 million to settle a lawsuit with the family of the dead man and another wounded man, Judge Stephen V. Wilson said. His order was stayed by a federal appeals court late in the day, after the video was released and made public by the news media.

Harper Lee's Newly-Published Novel May Shatter Some Illusions

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/07/harper-lees-newly-published-novel-may



The publication of Harper Lee's first novel, Go Set a Watchman, has been long awaited, and not without controversy. It's out on Tuesday, for everyone, but rumor has it that the first run will be sold out.

The manuscript was written before To Kill a Mockingbird, but publishers rejected it and it was thought to be lost, before it was found and set for publication. The decision to publish it was not without controversy.




Watch the video on the link page. My wife can't wait to get this book.

How would you balance office politics.

My brother got a job as an inventory clerk. He is being trained by the person who use to have his job and has taken the job of a person who retired and the accounting manager. Both seem very nice and helpful but today He was being helped by the manager get inventory out of the system (with document papers for items) for wholesale. This wholesale is done about once a week. They had gotten a lot of it done and brother went to lunch. When he came back the other person was helping my brother double check the new list.


Co-worker was demanding the list for last week. My brother did have it in the wholesale file but he didn't have it when he came back from lunch. Co-worker had my brother going insane looking for the last week list. stating he has to hold onto that list from pervious weeks. that the other person would never throw out the list that my brother must have misplace it. The other co-worker comes back from lunch and my brother ask if co-worker remembers where he place the list. The co-worker pulls the list out from his waste basket stating my brother didn't need to save it from week to week.

The other co-worker stated he always did and the senior co-worker stated it was my brother's choice.

My brother is getting the impression that the one co-worker has had issue with executive account director person and He insisted it would be a good thing for the lists to be save.

My brother is also noticing he is being told two different ways to do his job. He doesn't want to upset either co-worker but is getting stressed out.

Not a Troll: But shouldn't we be concerned that Trump is having some sort of break

Down.


Yeah, I know he is an ego maniac and self serving but this "run" for the Presidency is really destroying his after run life. Who is going to go into any sort of business with him. I mean he is tripling down on his Mexican statements. Shouldn't we be just a small bit concerned?
