The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

[Hawkeye]

There are many times when all Presidents are restricted in what they can say because they are privy to a lot of sensitive and classified information. Other times, especially in foreign relations, they refrain from rightfully calling someone a ****head when they clearly are because it is in the best interest of America.

I don’t think Trump has ever been reticent at that.

As long as I can bring a preacher to lay hands on ya'll to "cast out the Trump," I'm game.

If you need a preacher for support, of course.

I did NOT like, nor support ACA, and have said as much on INGO.

FTFY

 

[Hawkeye]

Oh no, not that nutcase. It would be a respected member of the clergy. Max Von Sydow?

Max? The quintessential von Sidow for me was the assassin in the Condor movie starring Robert Redford.

He was also the preacher in "The Exorcist."

Thank you sir!

I never said you did support ACA, but when you're talking about an individual only doing what's best for himself or the group he identifies with, I can't think of a better recent example than that abomination of a program called Obamacare.

The exorcist was full of “preachers” but I think they were referred to as “Fathers”.

You think Obama identified with ACA recipients? I think it was more pandering than anything.

Perhaps "identify" was the wrong word. "Aligned" might have been a better choice.

At least you admit, that as long as you or the group you identify with, personally benefit, to hell with everyone else.

Damn straight. I am in a group called "Americans."

What group are you in?

I know that. I'm just wanting to see what group he "identifies with," per his comment.

Based on Michael Cohen's interview with Vanity Fair, I'm either not welcome on that bus, or would have to sit in the back. I thought about linking that article, but lord knows someone would get triggered over it.

I like the part with these allegations that there never seems to be any corroboration from other people. Weird right!?

That is strange, but you know it is difficult to maintain a good persecution complex with people pointing out the fallacies like that.

 

[mmpsteve]

Mr. K., I don't think there's anywhere in America today that you'd be asked to sit in the back of the bus. I've seen life here in NW Indiana, I've seen life in the deep South. Nowhere that I know is this still true. For you to acknowlege this would be helpful in ironing out the nuances that discrimination still exists. It might still exist, but I don't see it in the circles that I operate in. Some of my best clients are dark-skinned, and I'm as white as can be, and we don't hold it against each other. For what it's worth ...

PS: I do believe it's Turkey Time !!!

Keep in mind that this almost $100K bill is confined to the hotel stay ONLY. It doesn't factor in a number of other things associated with the trip.

Before I can figure out if it is outrageous or not, I need to know what a normal cost for such accommodations would be for something like this? If it within norms, my level of caring is pretty close to zero. If it is much more than the norm, then my level of caring increases.

 

[jamil]

I would believe that a person with TDS, would be one that has issues with Trump that are lacking in merit. I think it's completely fair to question the reasonableness of an almost $100K hotel tab, during a 6 hour stay in Egypt. You do not, as is your prerogative. However, I will continue to bring up things I have issues with, as it applies to the sitting administration.

I'll have a problem with it when the details show that there's no reasonable explanation for it.

 

[jamil]

To what end?

To what end does anyone post about anything in the political sub forum?
