    Bill Clinton is not running for president. Yet that's who Donald Trump seems to be running against. It's a big part of why he's getting his ass handed to him.

    I'm voting for Trump because fuck illegal immigrants, fuck muslims, fuck wars for israel, fuck banks, fuck multinationals, fuck free trade and fuck you. I do not give a fuck about gold digger whores who got their pussies grabbed, by Donald Trump or Bill Clinton.

    Apparently women can't be trusted to deal with sexual interaction with men. The only solution is to bring back chaperones.

    Or men could just learn how to behave like men instead of insecure adolescents.

    The vast, vast majority of women, sexually assaulted on a fucking airplane full of people by a goddamn billionaire would have immediately screamed bloody murder and filed lawsuits resulting in multi-million dollar settlements.

    Do you believe Juanita Broderick? She waited twenty years to come forward.

    I can only imagine the frustration of being a Trump supporter and realizing that you have the one candidate who makes Bill Clinton's creepy sexual history meaningless. All you had to do is find a candidate who wasn't a skeeve, and yet you flocked to the self-professed skeeve like ants to a piece of rotting fruit.

    Donald Trump will never be president. Mark it down. Learn from your mistakes. And for chrissake, stop your whining.

    A key problem seemed to be that Rittman's kettle didn't come with software that would easily allow integration with other devices in his home, including Amazon Echo, which, like Apple's Siri, allows users to tell connected smart devices what to do. So Rittman was trying to build the integration functionality himself. Then, after 11 hours, a breakthrough: the kettle started responding to voice control.

    I have zero sympathy for anyone who buys a Wi-Fi teakettle. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

    There are accounts of him forcing himself on women. There are also accounts of him sharing a bed with Philip Augustus [wikipedia.org] during the Crusade, which is where most of the homosexual rumors come from - other than his childless marriage to Berengaria [wikipedia.org]

    Much of what happened to Richard is subject to debate because of the cult of personality surrounding him, but there are two things about his life we can be relatively assured of. What happened during the Crusade is pretty well attested to on the (not sympathetic) Muslim side and therefore can be cross-checked. Second, that he was killed by a crossbow bolt to the shoulder that went gangrenous.

    And that he was a homosexual.

    Let me correct myself. Richard I was picked off by a sniper, if you can believe the accounts, while he was strolling along in his fort. Not exactly "in battle" but still a casualty of war. If you can believe the accounts, which in the case of Richard I seem to contain more fiction than fact.

    Was Julius Caesar an old man at 41 when he started his Gallic conquests? Or Richard the Lionheart at 32 when he landed at Acre? Or Napoleon at 30 when he became First Consul?

    None of those guys died in battle, either.

    It's the same reason the Army makes people get up early in the morning and do PT, then trains them to do absolutely nonsensical things like crawl through mud and climb obstacles. It's not really about physical fitness - if that were so, they'd insist they all pump iron until they rippled with muscle, and that's not many of the soldiers I know. What it is about is being able to do the nasty hard work when the time comes, and the discipline to make yourself do it. It's up to your brain to figure out when that moment is.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with "nasty hard work", and everything to do with "follow orders and be cannon fodder".

    The Army isn't preparing anyone for hard work, or they wouldn't waste time with crawling through mud (since we don't fight anywhere there's mud). It's about making sure that when the captain says "jump in front of that tank", there is no hesitation.

  24. poperatzo and jared are speaking to success in the terms of being able to perform a job successfully

    Not at all. "Performing a job successfully" has never been a high priority for me. I'm talking about success in terms of being happy with your life, providing a good life for family, being satisfied with your contribution to the world and leaving something for my kid. That sounds exactly the same as the business owner's success, except I added the happiness part.
