Mock

This third debate has brought forward a more personable and smiling Hillary.
Almost life-like.

Well, Colin Powell seemed seriously pissed about Hillary Clinton publicly tossing his name into the whole email controversy.

Irritation on that point aside, Powell has just confirmed that he will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

Powell, a retired four-star Army general and a Republican who served in the George W. Bush administration, reportedly made the announcement at a Tuesday event hosted by the Long Island Association, a business group focused on development in Long Island, New York.

Hacked emails that were published in September revealed that Powell had called Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, a “national disgrace” and a “international pariah” earlier this year. In a separate email, he decried what he called the “racist” conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama’s birthplace.

Powell joins scores of other Bush administration veterans who have crossed party lines to endorse Clinton, including former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, former President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Brent Scowcroft, former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

I wonder where cannongal is these days. ^ That elated little girl pic she picked/posted is such a perfect fit for you when Trump steps in it or gets burned. Makes me smile every time you or she posts it.

Happy 69^th birthday Mrs. Clinton may you rest in peace tonight.

Is it true that Brad Pitt is under investigation for reading It Takes A Village to his kids?

She's a whack job.

I think he's probably pretty normal, but like most men, he's been trying to survive with a woman.

You women are beautiful and we love you, but you're all afflicted with the crazy gene, it's just a matter of to what extent.

Surviving with a woman (see: living with her) takes guile, compassion, sensitivity and most importantly, the knowledge of how/when to walk away from a situation as she's trying to escalate the volatility.

Tiki, do you see yourself as an extreme whack-job, or one who can control your actions?

This isn't going to end well. Been nice knowing you, doll.

I'll speak for Tiki.

There's no way she would disagree with anything in my statement.

All I did is ask if she's bug-eyed crazy or has more of an even-tempered loose screw.

MS -- speaking for all men about all women.

He's back!!!

Don't you pull me into this. I've stayed deliberately silent eating my popcorn and waiting for the show to start.

1. I'm including my mother, wife and daughter in my analysis.

2. There's not a guy in Mock who would disagree with my statement (if they're being truthful).

Cool..........locker room talk! Watch out or you'll end up like that guy that dissed yoga pants in a letter to the editors.

I agree with your second statement. The last girl I dated was already saying she loved me and was trying to grope and kiss me on our first date.

I don't ever see that addressed, so many would rather be scandalized by it. I don't have a problem with it and if I were important enough I'd do the same damn thing.

It's not a bad thing in my view either, and every former President I can think of has a charitable foundation and does the same thing. It just gives the opposition something upon which to heap innuendo in this case because Bill Clinton's wife happens to be a powerful and influential person who is running for President.

Paid speeches to private businesses by former government officials don't bother me either; that's something else that's done by every former President and high-level politician I can think of. But, I'm glad there are watchful eyes from both sides and from watchdog groups looking to ensure that those businesses don't get any favorable treatment when former government officials assume new roles in the government.

Charitable foundations accepting money from the Saudis, Qatar, Russia and other countries where human rights aren't as championed as they are here is something else that isn't a problem for me, SO LONG AS there is no pay-for-play or quid-pro-quo with government bodies. I think that Bill Clinton is right to step down from the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton is elected -- there should be no chance or appearance of undue/illegal policy influence from foreign bodies.

In a similar vein......yesterday, I turned on CNN and then turned it right off. The talking heads were going on and on about how Trump took an hour or two off the campaign trail to make a speech at the opening of a new Trump property. So fucking what? It's his time, his money, and I don't see any conflict of interest with the self/branding promotion there either. I also wouldn't care if Trump had legal international business dealings with Russia, in the past, as a private businessperson..........SO LONG AS those dealings weren't to the detriment of the United States' security and Trump was open and transparent about them (instead, he's been coy and inconsistent in regards to his Russian connections, so I understand the concern there).

1. Yes, I know you meant ALL women.

2. That may be so, or not. In either case, the 15 or so guys posting at Mock aren't the whole of the male population and I don't think every man believes that every person who doesn't have a penis is crazy.

People are strange, men and women. We've all got our shit. But, my personal experience doesn't lead me to believe that all women are mentally/emotionally imbalanced any more than it leads me to believe that all men stereotype women, or all men are dogs, or all men are ignorant....though some of you clearly hit the trifecta, MS.
