I saw many drill sergeants get accused of having sex with female trainees. Rules had to be implemented where a drill sergeant had to have another drill sergeant with him at all times for his own protection. Now they are letting females be Army Rangers. I don`t know how it is being done, but I will hazard a guess that the standards are either being ignored or lowered to a point where the standards don`t even matter. There is a place for women in the military, but there are also places in the military where they don`t need to be. The next real war ought to be fun. IMHO.

Brings new meaning to Drill Sergeant, or Drill Instructor.

The attempts by the GOP to nominate a 3rd party candidate will only help Hilliary just as Ralph Nader likely denied Al Gore the presidency.

The same applies for Bernie running.

The best way for a third party slate to even have a chance is for a moderate republican/democrat (one is pres, one is vp) team showing some bipartisanship and an agreed substantive platform. This could be the beginning of the middle American Party. This is no guarantee Congress will pass them.

I`d hope most *anybody* would feel like one of the very few people in that room with a fully-functionaing intellect.

(Yes indeed, I`m *still* gonna rant about how my GOP has turned into the Stupid Party

Some of those folks are a big part of the reason why. )

Hmmmmmmm

Somewhere iirc someone called Republicans the "party of no".................

GOP-led Senate passing bills at rate not seen in decades - Washington Times

Guess they found a way

Eh, I still wish they`d go ahead with SCOTUS nominee hearings, and not just because Hillary will nominate (and get) somebody even worse. This "we don`t have to do certain parts of our jobs during a POTUS election year" [crap] really bugs me- I want `em doing the whole job right up to the minute they turn their seats over to the next representative. Also disappointed with the "anybody O nominates is unacceptable" attitude, too simplistic for the situation IMO.

We`re gonna find it mighty thin soup after the next election. Hillary will, of course, think it gravy...

All the Democrats have to do these days is sit back and let the GOP do their thing..well, and they also have to stay unindicted, but they seem to have a handle on that.

The truth about many politicians and sales people. What makes him different is he is not a policy wonk so he has no plans to actually show how he can do this. Of course, this new pitch attracts those what are ready to be taken. Trump like many businessman make their money by having others invest their money and gets money back with all those management fees. It does not matter if the business actually succeeds or not.

Same story, different day.

I dont think there is a bigger mistruth being spread then that picture. Kinda like he is racist too. When will the democrat voters learn to see how they are being manipulated, how the inner cities are essentially enslaved by entitlements simply to secure the vote next time around. Now you add some kookoo muslim terrorist resettlement, holy hell...
