Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never. This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles.
The article is bad enough, but the comments are truly pathetic. She had an earpiece. Yeah, an invisible earpiece.
The amazing thing is that even if any of what those Bozos wrote is true (ahem), none of it made Trump act like a complete buffoon — he did that all on his own.
This site had an article up a week or three back about a white police officer killing a black mother in front of her toddler, which was a complete fabrication. I came across it because some of my black friends were sharing it. I went and looked for confirmation, and instead found that it had been confirmed false.
I can’t look at the article I linked above because apparently the webmasters there are too incompetent (or perhaps unwilling to spend the money on a CA, which would be incontrovertible evidence of who they are) to be able to properly configure a secure web server. I find the possibility that they’re unwilling because it would be very easy to find out who’s behind the site bolstered by the fact that they’re using the Domains by Proxy domain anonymising service, and maybe tried to roll their own and failed.
Lotta misinformation going around out there. Good idea to check the provenance of everything you see or hear over the next few months; after perusing the site last week I’m pretty sure the article about the black woman shot by police in front of her toddler was done specifically so it could later be pointed to as a hoax to delegitimate the folks that shared it.
It is being reported that the Intern walked into the headquarters, and went directly into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. The Intern was spotted wearing a FedEx outfit, but a reporter working with Fox News recognized her and immediately reported what he saw.
has been in the trenches most of her life in service to the public
And even though she has the intelligence and drive and energy and toughness to have made millions, every year for all these years, in business or law or lobbying or medicine or whatever she wanted to do. Instead, she’s chosen public service most of her life. Unimaginable public attacks, but she still continues to channel her ambition into public service. She’s attacked on the left and right for having made money; but no mention of how much she could be making now if she didn’t run. Meanwhile DT campaigns primarily on his success at making money.
This election is crushingly unfair, but also such a clear cut illustration of the forces at work. I can’t say it well, but I think the election campaign itself is proving her strength as a leader.

@Aleta: Yes, I’m good. Haven’t pooped yet, but I feel pretty good. Thanks for asking, and that’s probably a little more info than you wanted. ;-)
They didn’t get very far, exactly the same as 8 years ago, so I’m doing another prep for a CT colonography next Monday, in another building on the other side of the freeway. The little they did get a look at had no polyps and a very minor bit of diverticulosis.
Why they don’t have the durned machine in the same building is beyond me, but the hospital apparently doesn’t own one. Damn, we were spoiled at Kaiser. Everything here seems to be parceled out to various clinics, very little in-house and their computers have only recently started talking to each other. This is Evergreen in the Seattle area, and I’m considering switching to Swedish or UW.
@opiejeanne: I can empathize with you. All these procedures tend to get one down. At 06:00 PST I get to have my pancreas removed. Spleen likely as well. Up late cant sleep.

I just realized that I never have to have another colonoscopy, ever; from now on it will be the CT option, which I prefer. Not sure how they plan to fix anything they find, short of invasive surgery, but I doubt that they will find anything.
she’s a woman… so if she’s assertive… she’s bossy

She’s held accountable for her husband’s transgressions
She’s held accountable for them being on the ass end of a real estate deal (Whitewater)
She’s held to a different standard on her e-mails than her predecessors
Her charitable works are under scrutiny for being accessible to the powerful, who are the same people that every charity lobbies
Her pay for speaking is under attack yet no one says a fucking thing when her opponent launders his public appearances through his foundation to avoid the taxes
and she has to deal with the lies and the smears and the insults every damn day and if I was a violent person, it would take a long time to find the bodies of Rushbo, Andrea and Chuckles who have been the ringleaders of enabling this cavalcade of innuendo to persist and succeed. Also too, the NYT would be a pile of charred wires and rubble deposited upon the vehicles of every senior editor and board member of the organization.
What is strange is that I voted for Obama, I am not entirely on board with all of her positions and ideas, but jaysus fucking Christ (on a Ritz or in a sidecar), at least she has ideas, wants to help people and believes that intelligent government programs and money can help make that happen.
There are times I really wish upon her enemies, the same amount of vitriol and passionate grudge holding that they’ve infected on her and see how well they handle themselves.

@opiejeanne: You are very kind. I had a Whipple previously. They removed the gall bladder, half the pancreas and about 5 feet of tubing. That worked for awhile. I hope this the last one. Theres not much left to take. Your condition is Crohns or something else.
@robert thompson:
Goodness. There really isn’t much left to take of you. I really do hope it goes well and that you recover to regale us with tales of the bad hospital food.
My condition isn’t Crohns, or did you mean yours is?
My condition is having had a hysterectomy so there are things missing that would have held other things in the correct positions for the doc. Instead it’s all just a collapsed heap of nonsense, which kind of describes me at times.
Seems English to Morris code, then back to English isn’t smooth. with the translation machine.. Mocked T-rump about “she gained weight comment”.
I hope all goes well. Tests are never fun and you mostly get plain ol’ negative result, on rare occasion, just a couple of questions. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have any unceartanty !
@Prescott Cactus: I’ve already questioned them a bit, but have more for tomorrow when I pick up my barium cocktail (woohoo!). I want to know what the next step after the CT is, if they find something. Probably surgery, but I want them to tell me that.
Hmmm. I will try to get a good translation of your Morse code message tomorrow morning when I have time.

On the site, each type has a handy ingredient list one can print or tablet or send to show your dr’s office. I like the low or no sugar ones at the link, because then I can mix them with any juice I like, or just water. They are made in the US.
