Yeah, I said something similar above. Not getting one’s way is not a blanket excuse for bad behavior. There are thousands of NCAA football players every year who, undrafted, just join society and do something else. Why this unknown player from a non-elite football school felt so entitled to be drafted is amazing to…

Such a weird defense of this dude. He didn’t have an NFL dream so he became a serial rapist? I don’t have an NFL dream and I’m not a serial rapist. I imagine billions of other people could say the same thing. Why is someone reaching so hard to find an excuse for such a bad guy?

I’m so sorry about your mom. That is heartbreaking.

I was just pondering whether he is actually delusional, or just adding to his persona for attention. But when you add it all up like this it seems concerning.

The delusions of grandeur are amazing to me. To actually think that you should be given billions of dollars to be artistic. I can’t decide if I think it is all just a ploy to make people look at him, or if he is actually this much of an egomaniac.

The sheer average-ness of them (to use a term Bush might) kind of blows my mind. Like they would have a tough time getting a job as a car salesman in my city. And they are just kind of casually running the world.

Truth. I am trying to imagine poor Ben Carson in the Oval Office and it just makes me laugh.

My fav part was W saying that he “gets puzzled” sometimes. Seems like the most apt description of him possible.

There is nothing more repulsive than a New Jersey resident hugging Jerry Jones. It is just too sad to compute. YOU LIVE NEXT TO GIANTS STADIUM. What are you doing in Dallas trying to hug this horrid man?!

It’s SO good. And my dad and I have been discussing a kickstarter to raise funds in order to save Ted’s Stockholm Syndrome wife, so I’m glad she shed a light on her plight.

Exactly. Enough to offset the costs would be perfect. I know the food bank where I volunteered would be thrilled. It might not be the easiest thing in the world to implement, but def not impossible.

Exactly. And she has made it impossible to criticize her. When Sanders tries to speak about where they differ, he is making horrible cruel “insinuations”. When people ask for her speeches to the banks she now claims to want to prosecute, they are specifically picking on her. When commenters argue for Sanders, they…

Trump would no doubt be THRILLED to release transcripts/videos/books/essays/etc. Attention!

And I’m sure if asked, he would gladly release any speech he has given. Because it almost certainly would not contradict his positions on the issues important to him and his campaign.

Ummmmm I don’t think most people think it’s “about the fee”. It is about who paid her the fee, and what she said in order to obtain it.

I doubt it would be any better if she does release them, though. There are probably moments in the speeches where she praises bankers and they would look so damning in an attack ad. She can’t win on this one. After all these years in politics, people know who she is. It’s too late to act like some sort of…

Thank you for making this point. I can’t fathom Sanders refusing to turn over his speeches to unions, for example. It is prob just the same general content that he gives constantly. That is the point: they are consistent with his overall message. She is now probably attempting to directly contradict whatever she said…

Maybe not, but there is an assumption that when an entity continues to donate obscene amounts of money to support a candidate, they are not doing so because that candidate will prosecute them. They expect something in return.

Exactly. It is obvious that her speeches are probably just benign smoke blowing, but it would just look so odd contrasted with her new and contradictory position on being tough on banks. It seems like a damned either way situation for her.
