Did you even READ my reply to you on this in post number 24?

The last I checked, my name wasn't "rwilson99". I think you have me confused with somebody else?

[bray]

What do you get when 100 lawyers go over a cliff in a bus?
A happy thought.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Welcome back SeaCon!

Rubio lately that really bugs the heck out of me

He's an anchor baby.

[Cboldt]

That one always makes me laugh.

[Alas Babylon!]

Congress is another place I hope where Trump can change the dynamics...

Before Trump, no one was talking about things important to us such as illegal immigration, Muslims, Bill Clinton’s sexual harassment and abuse, bad treaties and negotiations, etc., etc.

Now they all do. All those issues have become part of this year’s election campaigns, thanks to Trump.

Perhaps he can also light a fire under Congress’s tail.

I hope so. Giving them the majority didn’t seem to do the job!

Spineless bastards.

[Cboldt]

Beemer is the sterotypical lawyers car. It’s a valid stereotype.

[Alas Babylon!]

I know.

I am SORRY!

I was too hasty and screwed it up.

See post number 74.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It’s a status symbol car for adult spoiled rich kids (or yuppies)

[Seattle Conservative]

Healthcare czar might work or perhaps head of DHS (though many of us would like to see many of the agencies disbanded). Or, possibly the VA hospitals (though I’m not totally sure about his managerial skills and we need someone to go in there and kick patootie, clean house and get things changed around quick so that our Vets get the care they have earned and deserve, which is something that Trump has said repeatedly he wants to do).

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Calm down there Larri.

[Alas Babylon!]

I see. And that’s correct!

I spent too many years in Germany, where a BMW is like a Chevy or Ford. Typical German car. Nothing special.

My years overseas has affected my perspective on some things.

[Gritty]

I am SORRY!

No problem.

Keep on swinging for the fence, AB!

[Morgan in Denver]

Do you know how many lawyer jokes there are?

Just one......

The rest are all true stories.

[ExCTCitizen]

Go Cards...I want Arizona to win now...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Pissy and panel now talking about Bernie “rape fantasy” Sanders and Cankles race.

Wallace defends liberal wackos (they’re Americans too Karl)

[rodguy911]

Far better idea good catch bert.
...........
I'm now listening to Sharyl Atkisson talking about gitmo closing. She's getting some of this wrong by even interviewing a Miami Herald reporter,they are always biased.
We are spending 4 million per terrorist in gitmo,most expensive prison on earth.
Gitmo needs a lot of “change”. Big question where do the worst of the worst go,she uses Lindsay Graham as a spokesman, she could have done much better...IMHO.Alan Grayson as a spokesperson?
Not one of Sharyl's best reports,IMHO.
Atkisson ends by saying what we already know that zero will EO gitmo’s closing. No surprise here.
She ends the segment by using a spokesman who basically says gitmo was created without a good legal grounding.Its been a cluster ever since. Each prisoner is a different type of animal.Some could be killed others not legally killed.
“Anyone who believes they wont go back to the battlefield from gitmo is a fool,if i had known what i know now we would have killed them all,spokesman used by atkisson,better take but still weak assessment of gitmo,IMHO.
............
She's now talking about FOIA and how badly it works,well done.She has personal experience which is the best a reporter can get.

[rodguy911]

Thanks,I’m getting ready to go home so I can watch tv.

[Alas Babylon!]

Hey SC!

How are you doing?!!!

I won’t get back up to Seattle until November...

[rodguy911]

don’t think that will happen....

[gorush]

The FDA has a new regulation that prevents doctors from prescribing viagra to attorneys...apparently it just makes them taller.
