CNN is airing interview with DT today.  I hope media stop covering DT.  All it does is feeding his ego even more, giving him free ad time, etc., IMO.

Sad thing is, Arnold got elected governor of California by basically acting out. Some of the debate answers he gave were down right comical. My writing class in college was political based and we looked at some of the transcripts.

Though I think Arnold would be 100x better at being president than Trump. Actually Arnold wasn't the worst California Governor. At least from my opinion living in Ohio ;)

I just hope people realize how much of a joke Trump is. Still if Trump does well in the poles he would be invited to the republican debates. A part of me hopes he doesn't, but another part wants to watch him to crash and burn.

Right. That's what I said above. He didn't say all of them were of bad character. He generously allowed that some (which would generally mean way less than most or even half) might be go

Illegal immigration is a big problem in this country. Try going to Sweden or Russia and hanging out without any papers and see how long you last. Its not racist to secure the borders.

Not at all. He was referring to the Mexican government and claims that they're "sending" (facilitating?) illegal immigrants that are of bad character, to be rid of them themselves. He never said t

I agree with all of it.

Comedians of the world are delighted he's in.

I watched a pretty funny Youtube clip of a series of exchanges between him and Bill Maher yesterday. Bill Maher made a claim on Leno that he would give $5 million to Trump if he could prove definitively that his parents weren't orangutans (sp???). He was making fun of his orange hair color. Trump actually sent a copy of his birth certificate to Maher and asked him to pay up. When Maher didn't respond, Trump sued him. Maher brought a copy of the official complaint on to his show where his lawyer wrote "Donald Trump is actually the child of (whatever his parents names are) and not an orangutan." I think they are still fighting about it in court right now.

Honestly, I've found it refreshing to have a non-politician in the race. As far-out as some of Trump's comments have been, they are not the normal slick, PC rhetoric that go through 55 speechwriters before they hit the air or press.

Good, I hope Bill Maher has to pay up. Honestly Trump is about 1000x more likable and respectable compared to Maher.

I used to despise Maher, but he's growing on me a bit :) I really think through all of the cranky bluster, his heart's in the right place. I honestly hope he doesn't pay up, though. The last thing the U.S. court system needs is a million dollar lawsuit that will take years to finish because some comedian cracked a thoughtless joke.

I have it the other way around although I don't watch BM's or DT's (Appricktice?) shows on TV.   Every time I see DT talk with his pouty lips, I have sudden urge to slap his silly mouth.

Trump, better known in mexican circles as Archie Bunker with bad hair is watching his world crumble. First Univision pulled the plug on airing Miss USA & Universe pageants then NBCU followed. Now Macy's has severed their business relationship with The Donald. He's like Roy McAvoy when he goes down he goes down in flames!

As much as Id love to see him get nominated and have Clinton shred him in the debates (you think he doesnt have skeletons in his closet that they wouldnt find?), its never going to happen.  Its going to be Jeb Bush vs Clinton and Clinton will win...easily.

If Newt Gingrich is what stupid people think a smart person sounds like, then Donald Trump is what poor people think a rich person acts like.

This is the best line I've ever seen about Trump!

Not really.

Even Maher's conservative guests rave about the way he treats them on the show. They like Maher, just don't like his politics or atheism.

This might be close to his high ... there is always an extreme and frustrated minority that favors the most outspoken, impractical, irrational loudmouth who appeals to their fears.

Oh, what the heck, this is the USA and we demand that we be entertained... are you entertained? are you... :-$ (from "Gladiator)

There's no way a 3rd Bush gets elected and there's no way Trump is still in the race by the end of the year.  GOP is in trouble because as much as I want them to take control over the rainbow house, I don't see a GOP candidate that can win against Hillary or any other democrat they put up.

I'm rooting in the other direction, but even I wouldn't say no Republican can win!  Sure the Democrats are strong for presidential elections, but if Hillary implodes, you don't think Rubio or maybe even Walker couldn't beat.... who?  O'Malley?  Sanders?  And it's not like Hillary is some charisma machine without detractors across the political spectrum.  If the economy flattens out at the end of Obama's term I'd say the chances of a GOP win are real.

I hope you're right, but I can't see it.  All of the GOP candidates are alienating key voter demographics.  The problem with the GOP is they have to push those right wing values in order to get the nomination but once they do there's too much ammo out there to use against them during the election and debates.

They can't take a hard stand on illegal immigration, border security and the latest SCOTUS ruling on same sex marriage and then try to ask Mexicans, the LGBT community and families to vote for them.  Trump fell right into the trap and anyone that tackles that issue will be destroyed by the media.

At the very least he is no better ,or worse than the current crop of possible potus candidates. Elephant, or donkey party, it matters little. Like I posted before, he's not a career politician, which is not a bad thing at this point in American politics.

Thats debatable.  The problem with people who arent career politicians is that they dont have the connections and they dont understand how things work in Washington.  A lot of it is the connections and friends that you have, the people you have cultivated relationships with and knowing how to work out deals and how to get people to do what you want so that you will help them out with what they want at some point in the future.

Trump is used to telling people what to do and not having anyone challenge him, thats not how Washington works and thats why businessmen typically fail when they try to get into politics.

I agree with what you said. I just want to add that the President of the United States needs to be able to handle international diplomacy as well, and Trump has more than demonstrated his lack of tact in diplomacy.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
