âoeWe are backed into a corner,â said Mr. Medford, 46, whose business teaches people to be filmmakers. âoeThere are at least some things about Trump I find to be defensible. But they are saying: Agree with us 100 percent or you are morally bankrupt. You are an idiot if you support any part of Trump.â
He added: âoeI did not choose a side. They put me on one.â
In my opinion, anyone who has had a wife, a daughter or a mother is morally bankrupt if they have supported Donald Trump.

Of course, I hit the roof. I hadn't given Microsoft permission to install Windows 10. I'd even gone so far as to uncheck the update."

"From now on, she should be medically banned from driving, until cured. But at the time, not knowing she had any risk of being drunk, she didn't have a drink and then drive. She didn't knowingly drive drunk."
From the article, it appears that while she unknowingly had alcohol in her system, it didn't affect her the way alcohol that is imbibed does. Specifically, she exhibited no symptoms.
If that is the case, she was not driving under the influence of alcohol, knowingly or not.

>Republicans threatened it, but Reid actually did it. He's also blocked all Republican debate and amendments to bills, which is a pretty unprecedented power grab in an institution that has always tried to pay lip service to minority rights.
Well, yes, he did. Did you not read the part about how when he was threatened with it, he allowed nominations? And when the roles were reversed, the Republicans did not?
Nor is what he doing in any way 'unprecedented'. Read a little history. In my lifetime, it has happened many times, Sam Rayburn (LBJ;s mentor) is the first I remember. Look him up. Fascinating stuff.
>>Meanwhile, some appointees can never get approved under any circumstances.
>Google Harry Reid's "nuclear option" he took a short while ago.
Let us not forget that in 2005, the Republican Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist, threatened to invoke the "nuclear option" against Democrats who were filibustering President George W. Bush's judicial nominees. Sen. Mitch McConnell was part of Frist's leadership team. The nuclear option was averted when the Minority Leader, Harry Reid, agreed to let most of Bush's nominations come to a vote.
This year, the roles were reversed. The Republicans filibustered President Obama's nominees; then Harry Reid threatened the nuclear option; and then Reid offered to take the nuclear option off the table if the Republicans let most of Obama's nominations come to a vote. McConnell refused the same kind of compromise that Reid accepted in 2005. Therefore, according to the same principle that Sen. McConnell supported eight years ago, the nuclear option was fair, appropriate, and necessary in 2013. The Republicans have no cause to complain.
