Total Honesty is not an option when you have sponsors and even the programs on PBS are sponsored, and not just by "viewers like you".I liked when we all gathered around the TV to see the news back in the old days.

While recognizing a historical necessity for the origin of the restriction, they consider it high time for it to be reversed now in the 21st century ( Some people even claim that racism is behind the restriction. This question of presidential elections, while very closely related to the issue of Puerto Rican statehood, is separate and self-standing for the purpose of this post: the right to vote in US presidential elections before and/without statehood. Without either siding with them or opposing them, do you believe by law, they are being denied a right that is available to others?~ less

They asked us a few questions then told us the party was over and it was time to go home, One of the guys stepped forward and told the cops they can't do that then he asked the cops if they knew who he was then he shouted out - I'm Mike the Barbers son. It wasn't like Mike the barber had mob ties or cut the hair of movie stars so the cops were not impressed. We wound up calling him Sweeny Todd after that. Cheers and happy weekend! less

You want to let it all hang out and say what you do and YET you get your shorts in knot when a PROFESSIONAL comedian tells what everyone knows is a joke. Make up your mind. Decide. Then stop whining about your choice! Fer cryin' out loud! :(

Would that be reason enough for you to say such words to your child? Do you support or decry dearest daddy's reaction? Why?

Not one had the courage to take her up on it. Not one was brave enough or confident enough to show up and defend his/her action. So they voted for something in which they don't believe? They were FORCED to vote as they did and will never be able to defend it to anyone at any time or any place? What are they so afraid of?

Was Paul Manafort a foreign agent too? Ah the intrigue. The not knowing. How much did Trump know and when did he know it?

He probably already holds the record for prospective appointees bailing on him. He gets rejected a lot doesn't he? Some record! No one wants to work for the guy! :(
