Here us where I am.  I know Hillary will bust the budget, stack the courts with libs and  be really annoyjng.  There is a chance that Trump won't. On the other hand  If Trump is horrid the minute he does something illegal, and he will, the R's should impeach him and install the VP (Kasich) as president.

I cannot bring myself to vote for either. I will write in a protest vote.

I am now more focused on local elections.

You'd be hard pressed to find two more detestable human beings. Ardent supports of either one of them ought to get their heads examined.

Hoping the Libertarians nominate a strong ticket next weekend. Probably gonna go that route.

Did Trump really just say "I'm down with PPP"?   Was he trying to quote Naughty By Nature, or is he into... well, you know... (which doesn't make you a bad guy, as long it is done among consenting adults).

Thanks BillSharp, Interesting.

My opinion on the matter is that Jesus did not make Peter the head of the church in Matthew 16, the rock onwhich He stated he would build His church was Perter's proclamatiom in verse 16. "You are the Christ (Messiah) Son of the Living God."  Personally I could care less if Peter was in Rome or not and think it is a rather weak argument.

This article reminds me of a joke:
The Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Messiah
Protestants don't recognize the Pope as the head of the Church
And Baptists don't recognize other Baptists at the luquor store.
HEH

Now to read the other piece.

Partisan politics aside, this is great.   And probably a first for a presidential candidate: saying "titties" in a nationally televised speech.   Not even Bill Clinton said that, to be best of my recollection.

Last night, the wife asked if I wanted to watch the debate.   "I'd rather watch the White Sox", I joked.   

I made the right choice.

Been watching the Dangerous **** tour videos of Milo Yiannopoulos on youtube. Smart, funny & politically incorrect. I like him, too bad the lefty fascists prevented him from speaking at DePaul this year.

Heh. Beck is a bit unstable but trying to follow him would be like watching a ping pong match.

Is he still holding to David Barton as his favorite "historian"?

Looks like Bannon's plan is to double the deficit in another 4 years flat.

Trump's steller job creation track record just took a hit, my company just handed out 15 pink slips.

Anyone who does any related to Tax Credits in any industry is pretty much on the chopping block right now.

SO what are you saying? That Trump is cracking down on corporate welfare?

No. Tax credits are purchased by corporations to reduce their tax burden. They are all waiting for a huge tax cut. Which has effectively tanked the market for any type of tax credits... Be they energy or housing... Equity pricing for tax credits dropped from. .97 last year to an estimated .81 and falling now... And no one is committing to buy them...
