Then that's every POTUS in history, and every future one, for they're ALL up to something and ignoring that does nobody any good.

As I say, there was a choice between two evils and I'd rather have the one that didn't need to rig an election to be selected as candidate, as far as we know, over the one who did and then started blaming everyone else for them being caught up to the elbows in shenanigans. Would have personally rather have seen a different Republican candidate, but them's the breaks.

Anyway, I got out of bed today without a hangover and with my blood sugar in order, which is an achievement considering how much prime Belgian beer went down yesterday because I hardly drink nowadays

That's a pretty standard line that people use when they don't know shit about someone but they feel all hurty and need to respond, albeit in a weak and sucky way

Pot, kettle, etc. At least you practice what you preach, must be REALLY hard on you being such a petulant oaf who just HAS to respond to something in a weak and sucky way because someone dared to disagree with you. As in:-

No, I have respect for the office held.

Much as I thought Blair was a thundercunt and Zuma never reached that level, but the position held does demand some respect irrespective of what the person is.


Trump was elected as POTUS. He IS POTUS. And the way the moonhowlers are kicking off shows that they don't have any respect for POTUS unless it's someone THEY approve of.

The majority do not agree with the whiny minority, and there should NEVER be a case when a minority can overrule the views of the majority, no matter what you think of the person involved.

As I say, the choice between Hillary and Donald was summed up perfectly with South Park, a "Shit Sandwich" or "Giant Douche". But one became POTUS and he should be given the respect that office commands, otherwise that office is meaningless.

It's different in SA, where the corruption is more open, but the same standard applies to me. The person, whoever it is, holds a certain office which does command a certain amount of respect. Ignore that because you don't like him, you remove all respect for said office irrespective of who sits in it. I think that Teresa May is as much use as chalfonts at a farting competition, and that she'll be lucky to survive after Brexit, but to scream that she MUST go now? No, not so soon after she did actually win an election (arguably lost as the share of Parliamentary seats won/held dropped, but she still got the biggest proportion, making her UKPM). If someone is as corrupt, etc, as Zuma as an example, then he HAS to go as he brings the office he holds into disrepute (unfortunately you'll just get another parasite in his place, such is "politics" in Africa).

You don't like that, tough. But the fact remains that it is not only the person but the office held, and it's that Office which is the most important thing when "respect" is concerned as, well, honestly, I doubt there's many pollies in the world who could actually justify being "respected" for their acts, since every last man jack of them has their snouts in the trough one way or another.

As a "person", fuck em all and the horse they came in on, but when it comes to the "Office Held", that's another matter. The distinction MUST be held or, otherwise, that Office is meaningless.

you're right...i don't hold any respect for the office, because of people like trump. i only respect people, and i only respect people that i think deserve it. and Trump does not deserve my respect, no matter what job he holds

Our last one closed in 2012. There actually was a palpable depression/sadness in the community for a few months. They had everything, seriously.

the local napa was like that, they'd pull the whole box of shit out and let you look through it, you could work on your car in the parking lot and they'd loan you tools...for free. but unfortunately they burnt down in the fire two years ago, so now we're down to the crap stores that don't have time to do more than look shit up on the computer

Me too man, I’ve got a hotsauce collection to burn through and it’s taking a while.

I usually just sprinkle a few Carolina reaper flakes on whatever I’m eating if I want the spice now, and that doesn’t cause me problems most times. (Just a few flakes!)
