Women are a big reason that Trump was elected. 53% of white women voted for Trump. Unbelievable.

Sticks48 replies on Feb 1, 2019:

@Charlene. What I said was fact. If you break it down to the the bottom line, around 50% of Americans are stupid. 50% of those stupid people are even more stupid. Anyone who thought Trump had the slightest bit of intelligence, experience, or,humanity to do that job, is almost to stupid to live. He never hid who he was while running. I have played music with my brother for over 40 years. Over that time, every once in a while people would ask me why my brother was a snob. He is bashful. People think because people are on stage every night they must be extroverts, like me. You don't know her. She also had people managing where she goes and what to talk about. Campaign mgrs run campaigns. That is what they get paid to do. Three people l can think of off hand whose campaign mgrs. gave them horrible advice which definitely hurt them are Dukakis, McCain, and Dole.

@Pralina1 I didn't say it was smart, but just having good grades won't get you into college. We also have a system in place in most states which puts the better teachers in the better schools. Those schools are generally in upper middle class and wealthy neighborhoods, putting the less fortunate kids behind another eight ball. There is no easy way for these people to beat a system that continually tries to hold them down, and most of these folks look at it as impossible.

People need an escape from their everyday life. The more miserable the life, the greater the need. I get it playing music, they get it watching a game. People who don't have a way to get out of that life in some way are the people that pick up a gun and take themselves, others, or both out. As for sports for college, it is the only way a poor person may have to reach the goal of a college education. Given the cost of said education and the stagnant wages of the last two or three decades it is a struggle for the middle class to pay for that education also. If you have a couple of kids, then it gets to be twice the problem.

That isn't my story. I was speaking in general. I have been married and I have lived with someone. I can do either. I was just pointing out it is a legal contract, and in some cases it works better for a couple than living together. In some states if you live together long enough, the state considers it a common law marriage, and you can end up dealing with legal issues anyway.

@whispers It was a very good pairing. Redbone did the first show.

@Closeted In the 50's. That is how Eisenhower built our interstate highway system. I believe the way it worked, they paid 90% on the first million and then it dropped to I don't know what after the first million.

Slate Ann Coulter on Her Support of Trump: “OK, I’m a Very Stupid Girl”

Let's be clear, she's not admitting that supporting Trump was stupid; she's saying she was stupid to believe his promises not to fold on the Wall standoff.

Sticks48 replies on Jan 26, 2019:

@PalacinkyPDX As l said , you can ignore science, you can ignore biology it really doesn't matter. Check out the Hunks Group. I don't hear the men whining about it. Just because we find someone attractive doesn't mean we don't appreciate there talent or achievements. I have never seen men swoon and shriek over a movie star or singer, but I see women young and old do it all the time. How many women marry for money. When I was on the road, a lot of women, and I am talking women in there 30's and 40's take me home because i am in a band. The nature of men and women is what it is. If you wish to play Don Quixote if you wish, but you will achieve the same results as he did.

@PalacinkyPDX Women have always been objectified when it comes to sex. It has always been that way and always will be. It is biology. Just because you don't like it doesn't change a thing. Nature is nature and it doesn't give a fuck what you or l or anyone else thinks.

My brother used to live on High Road. The street signs would disappear as fast as they put them up. They finally gave up and painted the name vertically on a telephone pole.

@CaroleKay I would have gone to see them the next night too, if they had done a second show. I don't think of you as a dork in any way. Most folks really don't think of Weird Al as a singer, but if you think of the different songs and singers he has parodied, you couldn't pull it off if you couldn't sing. I think of you as observant, and not just for this, but your comments on different subjects as well. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
