    Sorry dude. I just don't trust your opinion on this. From personal experience. Not trying to restart anything with you. But having strong opinions on things doesn't make you right.

    I didn't realize how ingrained in the music scene you are. That throws everything off, besides it was just off of an internet comment. My apologies.

    Word. I appreciate that. I didn't even realize I was still hanging on to this. I guess I can be a stubborn son of a bitch. Cheers sir.

    My sense is that Trump lent his name to a lot of things, some turned out bad. But I wouldn't judge companies by lawsuits against them, won or lost. Especially during an election campaign. Odwalla, for example, was sued and penalized by the government for selling drinks that got people sick - some of the fruit they used had fallen from the trees and had mixed with deer droppings. It wasn't on purpose, shit happens. Odwalla is run by hippie types.

    If you are going to go that route, a candidate investigated by the FBI and State Dept. for crimes and misconduct while in office trumps these lawsuits by a LOT. The Clinton Foundation and quid pro quo is even more egregious.

    Mr. Clinton was a chief organizer of two London rallies in the fall of 1969 and also helped, to an apparently much lesser degree, organize the huge march on Washington on Oct. 15, 1969.

    Politics is like music. Pure blowjob reacharound do for me and join the club bullshit. I heard some terrible song at the gym a few months ago and figured the girl had to be cute because she had a terrible voice. Then I saw the video and she wasn't attractive at all.

    I knew then she was related to someone so I googled her. It is Rob Schneider's daughter. No way she's anyone without a B list celebrity father. No fucking way.

    Trump isn't bad because of these lawsuits. He's bad because of his xenophobia.

    Why pick on him for the most meaningless of his faults AND be wrong about it at the same time?

    Have you read about the lawsuits? They're not as innocent and trivial as you make them out to be.

    Yes.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/

    An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

    Donald Trump alone made me realize who is really is and judge him for it. I'm not talking about former presidents or Hillary or Gary Johnson when I ask for folks to wake up and send Trump packing. I haven't seen a political saint yet. That doesn't dampen how disgusted I am with Trump on many levels...I have no problems with business people...I do with businessmen who have Trumps history...he's no Bill Gates, that's for sure

    Horseshit! Letting those guys die at Benghazi and telling us and their parents and wives it was some fucking video is criminal.
    Geez! What she needed to do has been done many times before. She is totally incompetent. Nobody should spin it any other way,
    period.

    We disagree...in light of everything else she did in that job, I think you're selling her accomplishments short by focusing on one incident out of thousands. I'm not lobbying for Hilary but in my view....the ambassador died doing his job...he's our rep there and he has local intel..if anyone failed it's his embassy and his staff that seemed to be caught in the crossfires. The govt always tries to keep those blunders under wraps...Trump will share them with the Russians..I'm anti trump, not pro Hillary. Comparing the two...she's the better choice.

    You got that right. The people on the ground asked for help, they got none.
    As to her other great things accomplished, I find none.

    I don't give a shit if you don't vote for Trump, but don't defend that loser.

    Seriously, you are defending Odwalla here? They killed a girl, poisoned others, and pleaded guilty. We shouldn't judge them based on that? Why the fuck not?

    Or are you saying that Trump is ok because he didn't kill anyone?
