Re: Hillary Clinton calls for U.S. to bomb Syrian air fields - 6 years ago

Quotedeckeda 1) Clinton suggests bombing their airfields Thursday (morning? afternoon?) 2) Trump bombs their airfields Thursday night. 3) There is no Step 3, until someone tells him what to do next. Hopefully he'll start listening to someone that has shown considerably less desire than her to start WWIII. Not looking to be the case.

QuoteOmbligo I use ebates on many purchases, easy and it does send me a check every three (four?) months. It seems to be less intrusive than other similar sites like topcashback - however others often have a greater return. I also use bates as often as possible.

Re: Wikileaks massive dump of CIA hacking tools - 6 years ago

Gotta say I'm a bit surprised more people aren't outraged by some of what has been revealed. It's disappointing that some seem to see this as a pro-Trump thing and not a government vs. citizens thing.

Quotepdq ^ this is just one small example of why I wish Apple would have tested the TV market. I know, the competition was cutthroat and there's no money in it. But they also said that about cell phones... Anyway, I think TV's should have maybe 4 HDMI inputs, and one digital audio output, and that's it. (Okay, one USB for pix if you push me).

Re: FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election - 6 years ago

QuotePam Quote(vikm) It would be interesting to hear via exit polling or some other means how many people decided not to vote for her based on the stuff that came out via wikileaks. Can't imagine that was the deciding factor for all but a few. Can't poll the people sho stayed home but would have otherwise voted. This is true.

Re: possible stupid state sales tax question... - 6 years ago

Sorry for the delayed "thanks". Got pulled away. Anyway, it's interesting and as I noted, I had no clue for sure what was done and was curious if there was a hard and fast rule. Carm, I think we have an additional 1.5% county tax added in LA. Don't hold me to that.

possible stupid state sales tax question... - 6 years ago

I live in CA. I have a question(s) about in-state purchases on line. Say I live in Los Angeles and make a purchase from a business in CA that has a lower (or higher, if that's even possible lol) local sales tax. Does any of that matter? It's my understanding I just pay the state sales tax, right? Technically, does that whole "use tax" come into play and I'd be responsible for the dif

The fix has been in on many levels for years regarding the Dem primaries. No chance I'll return the the Democratic party anytime soon.

Then continue to lie. EXACTLY like Baghdad Bob. I really don't care what party anyo

Re: Cummings calls for FBI letter clarification before end of weekend - 7 years ago

I agree... I'm not sure there are too many votes that are going to change. Her supporters are so willfully ignorant and refuse to hear anything even remotely resembling the truth about her corruption. On the flip side, Trump's people are so full of hatred and fear of losing "their America" that they're not going to consider changing their vote either.

Re: Huma off the A list and no Christmas bonus! - 7 years ago

I can't help but think had Hillary shown a little humility (I know... old dog, new tricks) not started spouting lies suggesting Comey said things he in fact didn't during that press conference after the initial investigation, perhaps he may not have felt obligated to flex his muscles in such a way. She constantly brings this shhit on herself and then either plays dumb or acts the victim.
