  1. Yeah, but until that magical moment, it'll just be one episode of Keystone Kops after another. That Trump sure knows his stuff. I heard he once watched a whole war movie -- from start to finish!

  5. don't know why some people say she's not likeable or personable, i've always liked her. she's strong, intelligent, capable and devoted to public service, and likeable. she's as smart or smarter than any politician now in office (with the possible exception of E. Warren who i consider an equal in intellect but not experience)

    i liked her more that Bill when Bill was POTUS

    The Benghazi "inquisition" er hearings proves you can't rattle her!

    note... I put little credence in these studies overall because typically there is a small signal and a lot noise... but... if you want to go with the studies... a smaller amygdala equals smaller ability to determine who is lying to you. Which explains why todays democrats tend to be big govt loving drones.

    there are all sorts of studies showing the benefits of a larger amygdala.
    for instance...


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdala


    Social interaction[edit]
    Amygdala volume correlates positively with both the size (the number of contacts a person has) and the complexity (the number of different groups to which a person belongs) of social networks.[57][58] Individuals with larger amygdalae had larger and more complex social networks. They were also better able to make accurate social judgments about other persons' faces.[59] The amygdala's role in the analysis of social situations stems specifically from its ability to identify and process changes in facial features. It does not, however, process the direction of the gaze of the person being perceived.[60][61]

    The amygdala is also thought to be a determinant of the level of a person's emotional intelligence. It is particularly hypothesized that larger amygdalae allow for greater emotional intelligence, enabling greater societal integration and cooperation with others.[62]

    The amygdala processes reactions to violations concerning personal space. These reactions are absent in persons in whom the amygdala is damaged bilaterally.[63] Furthermore, the amygdala is found to be activated in fMRI when people observe that others are physically close to them, such as when a person being scanned knows that an experimenter is standing immediately next to the scanner, versus standing at a distance.[63]

    Funding terrorism — and the Clintons
    By Post Editorial Board

    [​IMG]
    In the wake of Orlando, Hillary Clinton called out Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait for “funding extremist organizations” and “supporting radical schools and mosques all over the world.” What she didn’t mention is that all three also fund … her.

    The three countries are all guilty as charged. And they’re not just funders of terrorism: All three make homosexual acts punishable by prison or even death.

    But the Clintons have taken millions of dollars from those same governments through their family foundation.

    Which rather tarnishes Clinton’s proud post-Orlando vow to the LGBT community that she “will keep fighting for your right to live freely, openly and without fear.”

    Which they can’t do in Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Kuwait.

    Nor is there any sign Hillary, as a US senator or as secretary of state, ever tried to do anything substantive about either problem.

    Let alone say, Bill and I won’t take your cash unless you end your repressive, anti-women, anti-gay and pro-terrorist policies.

    Make no mistake: These governments have kicked in big-time to the Clinton Foundation, especially after Hillary began her White House run. And you can be sure they all want something in return.

    The Saudis have not only given $10 million to $25 million to the foundation, they also donated $10 million to help fund Bill Clinton’s presidential library.

    The Foundation insists all this Mideast cash is “helping improve the lives of millions of people across the world.” But why have the three nations given far more to the Clintons than to any other charity?

    It’s all well and good that Hillary vows to “defeat terrorist groups” and protect gays. She should start with her Mideast friends.
