Maybe if South Carolina had one of those people could afford to go to more than one concert per year. Because they would all be rocket surgeons. Like in Arkansas.-Created Arkansas’s Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youth.
I've been to 17 concerts this year, with at least 6 more on my calendar, all across the country, jerk.Bi_3 wrote:E.H.

Southern charm.
I mean maybe it isn't an "accomplishment" but it certainly belongs on her resume as she was a highly active first lady regardless of what title she held during his presidency. She was the point person on the failed healthcare reform of '93-'94. She has 8 years of very high level executive experience so I think that belongs on the list for sure. It is a padded list, but I don't think anyone's issue with Hillary is that she's inexperienced or doesn't have an impressive resume.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Lol @ "first lady of the united States" being an accomplishment
Fair enough. Accomplishments may not be the word. First Lady isn't an accomplishment, but it is public service. Especially, the way she first ladied.E.H. Ruddock wrote:And like Burt said, that is a very padded list.

trump is not purporting himself as putting his nation first. his appeal is that he's a racist blowhard like 60% of this country.Bi_3 wrote:I don't get why people project so much of their own prejudicial opinions about American voters onto Trump. His appeal is obvious. Every president in our lifetime has been a warmongering globalist, and yes plutocrat, who has stopped giving two shits about the voters the moment they won their election. First and foremost, Trump is not like them, and for a huge number of voters who are sick tired of being called stupid or racist for actually wanting their president to put their nation first, it makes his complete unfitness for the job irrelevant.
