well, that gets the reward for 'most disappointing video ever', or maybe 'best video in the Only Pretending to be a Video' category

I was disappointed too and wanted to share.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Would you guess which famous person this is? It's erected in honor, in the person's home town.




Lucille Ball. Apparently a new sculptor was hired to make a better one.

It's very close to where Face lives, in his
neck of the woods, anyway.

Is it possible that Trump will fire Pence? Is it possible that Pence will quit?

I can't remember anything this strange ever happening in a modern Presidential race.

Newt Gingrich is now saying that Trump's erratic behavior will help Hillary win the White House.

This ship is sinking. Unbelievable.

Indeed. It had it's 15min 'round these parts, as it's pretty awful. Was just down there last weekend; stole the cousin's Nighttrain and went for a ride. Oddly, I've never seen the statue itself, despite the miles and miles I've walked through Jamestown during hockey tourney time. Must be in the Lucy-Desi museum. Or maybe they threw it in the Chautauqua =p
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

The GOP ship sinking is not new, nor is Mr. Trump the cause. The iceberg that doomed the Republican cruise ship had flashing lights that spelled out "Tea Party" on it. Rather than steer clear, the GOP old guard tried to run them over, and ended up gutted.

Trump is just being himself. It's the party folks who are getting all bent by his speaking his mind, and non-line toeing. If Pence wants to endorse party folks, let him. They don't.. and don't have to... agree on everything. How important is it really that they both back the same candidates?

Clint Eastwood just called Trump a racist

“You know, he’s a racist now because he’s talked about this judge, and yeah, it’s a dumb thing to say. I mean, to predicate your opinion on the fact that the guy was born to Mexican parents or something. He’s said a lot of dumb things.”

wow
Will Trump now go after Clint?
I got the popcorn out :-)
