If you’re listening to anyone other than yourself as far as how to live and vote point and laugh at yourself.
Seriously. Celebrities and any other 1% are so out of touch with reality why would you listen to them in the first place? Their existence is nothing like ours.

Way to turn a blind eye, I made the comparison clear. People in position of power abuse it across all industries and everybody turns a blind eye because they fear the repercussions. Yes, they are hypocrites. I've already conceded that. What about Roger Ailes? Bill O'Reilly? Your president? All of them have multiple sexual harassment accusations, and your president is even on video talking about how his power allows him the opportunity to grab women by the pussy. Yet I guess they get a free pass because of all the good they do for the country.
Also, quick question Chico. Scenario here: You are trying to jumpstart a career in an unforgiving field where it's already hard to break in. A major player in the field takes you under his wing, gives you a massive opportunity. You say yes, of course you would. Next thing you know you either hear rumors of, or are subjected to, extreme harassment bordering on assault. What do you do?
"his" wing gonna get beat with a baseball bat if lucky. "her" wing, might have my kids...Dave Chappell Oprah episode style.

So you're willing to destroy whatever sliver of hope you have for a career in a hard-to-get field and go to jail for assault on top of it? Wow, you're in the 1% on that one.

Can I also add -
This issue about Trump's call to the fallen soldier's family is total BS. When I served in the 90's it was a point of pride that we served our country not because we were drafted or forced but because we volunteered. I can't think of one of the soldiers in any of the units I served in that would have taken offense to that fact being expressed in a condolence call.
I also think it shows the extreme left's misunderstanding of core US values. To the representative she took it as a slight (however Trump phrased it) or an in your face comment, when in reality the statement - we soldiers know what we signed up for - is always(when commanders in the field say it, when said to one another, etc) intended to reflect the greatest lengths of sacrifice one has gone and offered to our country.
As always Thank you for your service ,but defending trump is BS .The fact that a president said that to a grieving widow or mother is asinine ,simple as that.

The reports about Russia and russian trolls that I have seen mostly have been Russia instigating liberals and trying to get them riled up. I have believed all along that the Democrats "doth protest too much" on Russia especially. If we ever get to the real truth, I am guessing Russia played both sides of the aisle, just like corporations, PAC's and all the other influencers of US politics.

I am not disagreeing just saying you need to add our political leaders to that list.

Absolutely pathetic that the phone call designed to confort and console with nothing but a positive message is somehow twisted by a cunt of a Congress woman and the media as a negative event. Gen Kelly is 100% right. The tactics of the left and media can’t really sink any lower.
Any good reason that dumb bitch was listening in on a private phone call?

Praising the bravery of a person's loved one (which is what the reference to him knowing what he signed up for ALWAYS is implying when spoken of the volunteer military) is not asinine in any way.
The pavlovian response by the far left (and Republican swamp dwellers) to anything Trump certainly is asinine though.

I did, "any other 1%er" covers any of the top 1% of earners in this country. That includes CEO's, politicians, etc.
