When I heard that Sarah Palin endorsed Trump, my first thought was, who cares? What possible difference can that make?
It means SNL is about to get ratings again

SurSteven:
Which brings me to Sarah Palin implying that President Obama is somehow responsible for her personal problems. I have an ex-marine friend who just stopped by and I told him what she had said and he replied,"That's Crazy!" Soldiers have been coming home from war with various problems since the beginning of time. Alcohol overuse is one of the major ones! It has absolutely nothing to do with who our President is. It is a matter of personal responsibility and she has obviously not been very responsible toward her own. My Marine friend and I had to laugh when I told him that she will probably be flying around in her helicopter now shooting stray dogs and cats for her stress relief. Very sad actually...Where do these people get these delusional ideas anyway?

I hate to defend Sarah Palin, but it is not HER responsibility to take care of her son's PTSD.
SurSteven:
We weren't laughing about anyone's problems. We were laughing about people who blame everyone else for their problems without attempting to do anything at all for themselves. My friend also has PTSD, but he doesn't sit around and whine about it, and blame everyone else...for it.
hey_kittay:
As long as your friend, and other veterans, are getting proper treatment for PTSD, which should be free and comprehensive by the U.S. government, and is not harming others that is great. Any ex military or current military who have PTSD should get help and not take out their aggressions on others.
(After being beaten) I wonder what Sarah's Son's Girlfriend thinks about them being let off the hook for not needing to be responsible in their lives?

^^ unfortunately the poor girl is probably thinking the same things I was thinking. "Why do rich people get off with committing crimes against women and other things, and lower income people have to pay the price?" Hopefully she will stay away from him so she won't end up like I did. And the U.S. government will have adequate medical care for veterans.

I like Senator Bernie Sanders more than any other candidate. I just realized this tonight.

I thought of Saturday Night Live skit from a long time ago ..... http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/cold-opening---john-kerry/n11792 The way John Kerry tries to brush him away .... Now insert Donald Trump getting a call from Sarah Palin to endorse him .... but instead he accepted her endorsement ..... It would have made for a good updated skit
That sounds like it could be a funny idea.

They're so lucky that Tina Fey left the show on good terms.

TrumpleFrumple is not going to The Fox News Debates because he's afraid to talk to Megyn Kelly. Or, should I say Trumporist??? http://redalertpolitics.com/2016/01/27/terrorizations-fox-news-says-trump-campaign-threatened-megyn-kelly/

It would seem to me certain agencies of law enforcement would have learned to de escalate situations like the one in Oregon after Waco and Ruby Ridge. I guess not.

Here we are at war with a philosophy that demonizes and subjugates women...and we have a political candidate running for the office of president that does the same thing

Sadly there are quite a few that are running that would rather see women do nothing but cook, clean and do everything a man says and nothing more.

It's unfathomable that the United States has never had a female president.

It truly is unfathomable, and you can see why, you don't have to look any further than Donald Trump. We need someone to change the media, all of the garbage that people unconsciously take in from everywhere, advertisements, TV, even some powerful women, who sell them self short as sex objects. Could you imagine a TV show of rich powerful women who didn't act like sex objects and instead act like future leaders of the world, or even had the nerve to act authoritatively. Women like that are branded as aggressive, not a leadership type word. Women who act powerfully are too often ridiculed and put under a microscope that no man would ever even put up with!! Having to dot every "i" and cross every "t"lest someone blow something they did, way out of proportion. Personally, it starts at home and how we put ideas into our little girls and boys. Maybe that would be a good place to start.

Contrary to what you're hearing from the corporate-controlled media, Hillary Clinton did NOT win the Iowa Caucuses last night. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton statistically tied -- which means that they divide that state's delegates. But here's why it's more so a victory for Bernie Sanders: Only several months ago, Bernie Sanders was polling 40 points BELOW Hillary -- and for him to tie with an establishment politician with tremendous name-recognition is staggering. Staggering. Hillary's team has already invested half of their resources ... only to TIE with a so-called "Socialist." The establishment is scared -- especially since the next primary is New Hampshire ... ... where Bernie Sanders is firmly 30 points ahead of Hillary Clinton.

Looks like it hurt him: Trump lost to Ted Cruz last night.

Seems weird that they tied. I used to think Iowa's so staid, narrow minded and conservative (they were the first state to legalize gay marriage, though) and now this. I did read though that Hillary's team expects Bernie Sanders to win New Hampshire, he's from near by Vermont or lived there a very long time and was in politics there a long time as Senator. He's 30 points ahead of her in N.H. Hills hasn't given up yet, not by a long shot and looks forward to what comes after New Hampshire, I read, expecting much better times ahead.

Hillary Clinton is a flip-flopping liar. In her "victory" speech last night, she -- once again -- reversed her position on universal healthcare. Unbelievable liar. And I am stupefied that she has the support that she has. Is it really that big a deal to support her because she merely has a vagina?

Campaign 2016: Hillary Clinton Pitched Iraq As 'A Business Opportunity' For US Corporations: http://www.ibtimes.com/campaign-2016-hillary-clinton-pitched-iraq-business-opportunity-us-corporations-2121999 __________________________________________________ #Truth A warning to warring Democrats in the Clinton-Sanders race: "... It?s enough to make you think that one side will stay home in November if the other side wins the nomination. And if that happens, Democrats would have themselves to blame for the Republican president unleashed on the nation. This isn?t hyperbole. Look at what happened in 2010 and 2014. Democrats lost both houses of Congress because their voters didn?t show up at the polls. Both votes were comedowns from the highs that put Obama in the White House. His election in 2008 as the nation?s first black chief executive and reelection in 2012 brought so many African Americans to the polls that they surpassed the rate of whites for the first time in history. ..." https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/02/01/a-warning-to-warring-democrats-in-the-clinton-sanders-race/
