She named a lot of Post Offices and parks LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #78

Sure thing. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #12

Okay then....where is his signature legislation? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #43

Veterans Bill? JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #80

It's better than her use of Stormfront as a source, at least? Scootaloo Nov 2015 #37

I was thinking the same thing. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #41

Some people are more concerned with echo chambers than... JaneyVee Nov 2015 #49

Where is that "probably" please prove it! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #47

I'm not going to prove my probably. I wouldn't have said probably if I had 100% proven it. jfern Nov 2015 #48

then we agree... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #50

You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word probably. jfern Nov 2015 #54

I suggest you learn not to make assertions that you cannot possibly prove VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #56

I said probably jfern Nov 2015 #59

That probably.... doesn't mean a damn thing.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #131

That she worked harder in 8 years (409) than Bernie did in 25 years (379)? JaneyVee Nov 2015 #97

What was her signature legislation? beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #100
