I found the worst page in the dictionary.

What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

Is it just me, or do the networks seem to be incessantly covering the Republicans

and aren't even sparing a stray comment for the Democratic Primary?

You would think it is only the Republicans voting today!

Youtube is CRAZY

I somehow wandered into a video of people popping zits!?

What in the name of Christmas, New Year's and the Fourth of July compels people to post pictures of popping their pimples?

And what in the hell is wrong with me that I stared at it in horror for about 30 seconds?

I don't even want to know the answer to any of those questions.

*MIND BLOWN*

Your best practical joke.

I put minnows and tadpoles in the clear vase of flowers during a formal dinner. They just swam around and no one noticed until my sister and I nearly fell out of our chairs laughing.

What is yours?

Suppose Hillary Clinton wins the Primary, an outcome that most

Hillary Clinton voters foresee.

If she loses against Trump, which is, by all bets the de facto Republican nominee, what will that say to you about the Democratic Party?

I have a portable heat-seeking missile.

Her name is Roma.

She streaks towards a lap, is unerring in her accuracy, she whines when there is nothing in her target of a food bowl, and she piles into pillows like a furry mass of destruction.

Hillary Clinton as a candidate, and potential nominee

The problem with Hillary Clinton as the nominee is that the GOP can come up with the most outlandish bullshit and the average voter believes it because she has been caught in so many instances of dishonesty, and both Clintons have a tendency to put themselves into situations where corruption is practically a given.

The Clinton Foundation foreign donors that gave millions will be the anchor around her neck the whole campaign. No one on the Republican side has made too much noise about it, because that is her Achilles heel. They are waiting to unload on her about that if she is the nominee, and anybody with two brain cells to rub together can point out the corruption. It's just poor damn judgment to do something like that. Just like it is poor judgment to say "I want to get the money out of political campaigns", then turn right around and say "I've taken millions in speaking fees, but money has not corrupted me."

She did three times more arms deals as Secretary of State than any of her predecessors, while garnering large donations from the foreign governments and foreign citizens that she made deals with. I'm not certain how anyone could look at that with an unbiased eye and arrive at the conclusion that money was not an influence.

Bill Clinton rode on the Epstein "Lolita Express" 17 times. Epstein is serving a prison sentence for having underage girls on the plane offering sexual services. No one can specifically say he was involved, but considering Bill's track record, it's going to raise eyebrows all over the place. Again, poor judgment even if nothing happened.

They do it to themselves. They should know by now that they will be scrutinized, and yet they continue to do things that are potentially troublesome even if they are on the up and up. The email server, the Clinton Foundation donations, Bill's trips on the Lolita Express - and those are just recent examples - are just symptoms of a MUCH bigger problem.

The Clintons just do not exhibit good judgment. You can't blame people for believing something is fishy when ... something looks fishy.

Bernie Sanders has been consistent and hasn't been repeatedly caught in lies. If somebody comes up with a story that points to corruption and dishonesty, people aren't going to believe it without some pretty compelling evidence.

If somebody comes up with a story that points to corruption and dishonesty (and doubly so if there is evidence such as things either of them say), the opposite happens with the Clintons. For Bill, anything that involves a potential scandal involving women, if there is even a tangential connection, people tend to believe it. For Hillary, if it involves abuse of power and dishonesty, that is her weak spot.

Whether any and all of those things I outlined actually resulted in illegal and unethical behavior, I don't think it takes a political wonk to realize that it reflected poor as hell judgment.

Once again Hillary's campaign can't get out of its own way.

She won in Nevada, but then had to stir up some horseshit that tarnishes her win.

Some people don't know how to just appreciate a win.

Self-sabotage is a kind way of putting it.

My songs know what you did in the dark!



Clips from various female stars that are LEOs.

Personally, I have drooled over Mary McDonald forever, but Gillian Anderson is also drool worthy.

Just for fun, with lovely ladies front and center.

63 year old lady so drool worthy it is sinful.

I wish I would be that sexy 20 years from now.
