If/as that is the case, HOW on EARTH can they possibly represent you? Unless you have the financial wherewithal (like those mentioned in the article cited below), you stand a worse chance of meeting them than a snowball has in surviving the fires of hell.
And yet we still dutifully pull the lever, just like our civics teacher told us to do, even though we KNOW, intuitively, that the people who aspire to rule/own us couldn't give two squats about us!

I'm sure the guy that comes in fourth place has practiced the same dedication an sacrifice as any of the three in front of him.
In my case, this brings to mind an instance when I really wanted to be a lifeguard. Two guys took off like dolphins into the water, then there was a tiny little girl in a braid, and then me.

The real question is: Why aren't we listening to what Muslims are actually saying, and why are people giving attention to garbage spewed by idiots like Trump and Bachmann?

"The Expatriation Act, or "An Act in Reference to the Expatriation of Citizens and Their Protection Abroad, 1907," approved by Congress on Mar. 2, 1907, declared that any American woman who marries a foreigner shall take the nationality of her husband," and will not be a US citizen but may resume her US citizenship if the marriage is terminated.
In 1922 Congress repealed most of the part of the Expatriation Act that expatriated women. Women who married immigrants not eligible for citizenship, mainly Chinese and Japanese men, forfeited their citizenship until the Magnuson Immigration Act of 1943 repealed the exclusion laws. less

At the same time, those doing the criticizing will inevitably have something that offends them, and when it comes up, they wouldn't to be criticized themselves.
Are some people simply TOO offended? Or is it more about the things that offend them than it is about how often they're offended?
A few scientists do consider possibility space/time is infinite and existed prior to the big bang.
So there would be no question 'what's 'outside the universe' since space is infinite.

The same man who proclaimed, “I have a good relationship with the blacks” now apparently doesn’t want them near his money.
In his 1991 book “Trumped!,” the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, John R. O’Donnell, recalled Trump declaring that “laziness is a trait in blacks,” and exclaiming: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” less

Will he put all his holdings in a blind trust? I don't even know what that is. Is a billionaire a proper candidate for prez any country? Why?

You are heading for a severe fall until you straighten up and fly right. You are going about it all wrong and you can't even see that. How long will it take for you to wake up from your dream and face reality? How long will Kellyanne tolerate your Twitter rants before she bails? You are wasting time.

He sending out a mayday in every direction. He is dire need of help but when it appears he ignores it. And so it goes.
