ParticipantTomorrow or the next day, soonly anyway, Trump will make very high profile announcements of future cabinet members who are black, latino, muslim, and maybe even homosexual, Maybe he will even appoint the woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner to something. He will appoint one of those redneck Bundys from that ranch stand off ordeal. You will see, most inclusive president ever. He loves all of us.

November 14, 2016 at 7:46 AM #803634Participantin the 80s i had a sales job at a private trade school that actually was not a total ripoff. i remember being pretty truthful though about whatever i knew of the place. . got fired in a couple months. i also remember the star sales guy. just would literally say and promise anything. obnoxious pushy wormlike dude. just pressured people to sign with utter bs. no one left his office without signing up. i recall thinking, how can he lie like that? and thinking i didnt have it in me. the owner was a total ass who kept a loaded weapon in his desk. i definitely remember that. i bet hed had some dissatisfied customers.
truthful people arent morally better, maybe, we are just wired differently? it would cause me b distress to intentionally lie to someone.

CoronitaParticipantIt’s a beautiful day today. Don’t stay behind the blog too long. Otherwise it can get depressing.
Enjoy the nice weather!
November 14, 2016 at 9:32 AM #803636GuestThe salesman who lies just needs to go to bed with other liars. Treat him the way he treats other people.
Over the years. I’ve come across people who lied about their college degrees (not surprised that hard charging CEOs do it), family backgrounds, etc… the problem with lying is that the liar can’t remember all his lies and people eventually catch on to the inconsistencies.
Trump is rich so his lies are forgiven. But a poor guy who acts like Trump gets given the boot very quickly.

I’m really at a loss how Trump represents Christian values.You’re right scaredy. Abortion is a biggy. He will have to do something.

Looks like the list of Supreme Court justices under consideration don’t share your love of the coasts. They are listed in an NYT article entitled “Ivy League? Out. The Heartland? In.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/trump-supreme-court-justices.html

[/quote]That’s ok. I’m would happily let the Supreme Court send social issues back to the states, that is the red states. Let them have what they want. Who are we to decide what’s good for them.

[/quote]LOL, FIH’s love of the coast is so great that he has been (voluntarily) living in hot, dusty, windy NV for the last several years.

November 15, 2016 at 2:00 PM #803693GuestBG, i like big metros with lots of people. Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo would be incredibly boring. It’s like waiting for death.
When I’m in San Diego, I feel like the neighborhood is too quiet with nothing going on. Even downtown SD is boring.
I like the Vegas Strip and Waikiki, Honolulu with people walking around and shops and restaurants open into the night.
