    I'm not happy about increasing the debt ceiling. The current budget was passed before Trump was elected.

    I wasn't happy about Bush taking us to war, though I did want Saddam gone. Like how W's dad took out Noriega.

    Obama and Clinton are all about excuses. So be it.

    So you didn't want Osama Bin Laden gone, I guess.

    Here’s What Really Happened to Hillary
    Voters found her unappealing, and they rejected Bernie’s ideology too.

    Hillary Clinton is again everywhere, touting her new memoir and adding to the list of who and what are to blame for her loss: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, James Comey, Jill Stein, Vladimir Putin, Julian Assange, Anthony Weiner, sexism, misogyny, the New York Times , lazy women, liberal activists and the “godforsaken Electoral College.” All she’s missing is climate change.

    Hillary’s take on “What Happened” has unsurprisingly unleashed another round of analysis about her mistakes—Wisconsin, deplorables, email. These sorts of detailed postmortems of failed campaigns are popular, but they tend to obscure the bigger reasons for failure. In this case: The Democratic Party saddled itself with an ethically compromised and joyless candidate, because it had nobody else.

    ...

    And so the party nominated perhaps the only Democrat in the country who could rival Donald Trump in unpopularity—and beat him in untrustworthiness. Mr. Sanders refused to go after Mrs. Clinton on her ethical baggage, even though it was her biggest weakness and despite how glaringly obvious was the risk that her foundation and server scandals would hobble a general-election campaign. The parties gave the country a choice between two unpopular people, and the country disliked her more. The real question is how Democrats rebuild a party whose senior leaders in the House boast an average age of 72 and which has almost no young, experienced up-and-comers.

    I didn't want to keep bombing Pakistan after he was killed.

    How about we all chip in and buy you a copy. Then you read it and tell us all about it. Except the very end, don't tell us about that in case they make it into a movie.

    Sounds good! The you guys buying. I can always use more fire starter stuff for my wood heater. I may even give a short report.

    You are supposed to put that inside a spoiler alert. Not everybody knows the outcome yet.

    Trump starts WWIII and we all die.

    Should we give a win to the NBA team that wins the most quarters in the game, regardless of the final score?

    She lost to both Obama and Trump.

    hahahaha (that's about her)

    Someone, yes. The hot chick and the strong, yet brilliant and sensitive male lead.

    So, none of us make it.

    Sorry, but the hardheaded but lovable sidekick dies in the last scene.

    What do you think the chances of that are?
