Haste makes waste! One of the first cliches I learned as a kid!

And it still fits.

And don't forget, we STILL haven't seen trump's tax returns yet, either.

NOBODY should forget that, EVER.

Welcome to DU, moonseller66!

That's certainly true! Painfully true, these days. And it always tends to bring me back to a bottom line about the people who vote for this shit: "so what does that say about YOU, then?"

Stupid is as stupid votes.

Welcome to DU, Geechie! I LOVE this one!

Let's all remember what a good devoted Catholic our little Paulie professes himself to be.

Which I doubt. Based on what he DOES, not what he SAYS. Talk is cheap, Paulie-boy. As are your "ideas" and priorities" for a "better America."

I too went to Catholic school, and at MY school, they taught us about such things as the one about "whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to Me" (Matthew 25: 35-45), specifically singling out the poor, the naked, the homeless, the sick, and the imprisoned - that old "I was hungry and you gave me food to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was naked and you clothed me, I was alone and you took me in..."

And there's the story of Jesus and the rich young man (Matthew 19:16–30) wherein a rich young man wanted to know how he could earn salvation and Jesus told him to "go and sell all you have and give it to the poor, and come follow Me." Or:
"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."[4]

There's a neat little kicker to this one in the Gospel of Luke, too (Luke 18: 8-30) that we all know. That ol' camel-and-the-"eye-of-the-needle" thing:

Luke has a similar episode and states that:

"When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. Jesus looked at him and said, 'How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God / Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"[5]

Is that the one allegedly involving a 13-year-old?

Dayum, sadiegirl, I was just thinking about that in the moments immediately before clicking on this thread.

So having started this reply, I went and looked it up: (from Here's How That Wild Lawsuit Accusing Trump of Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl Hit The Headlines, 6/24/16)

In recent weeks, several national press outlets have retailed a set of very unflattering allegations about Donald Trump—namely, that he raped a 13-year-old at a 1994 orgy hosted by notorious celebrity sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. What no one’s reported on yet is the fact that the recent round of coverage is the culmination of an almost year-long campaign to quietly push these allegations into the public discussion, and maybe make some money in the process.

Here's the NYDN article on the case: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/rape-lawsuit-donald-trump-resurfaces-new-york-court-article-1.2681196 … (Remember to cover your mouth with a fist, if screaming in an office setting!)

There’s certainly someone in the video. The bewigged, pixellated person is telling a harrowing story: at several points, she becomes obviously overwhelmed with emotion and has trouble speaking. And there’s no question that Trump’s public attitude towards women is repugnant, and that he is said to have behaved like a lecherous creep in private many times over the years. Ivana Trump accused Donald of rape in an out-of-print biography of the man, a claim she subsequently disavowed in 2015, calling the story “totally without merit” and saying the claims were made during a tense divorce.

But even given Trump’s moderately disgusting track record with women, the fact is that a cadre of men have been shopping this Katie Johnson story around for nearly a year, while repeatedly refusing requests to interview the supposed victim. The facts speak less to a scandal and more, perhaps, to an attempt at a smear—one that finally, after months of clumsy maneuvering, is gaining speed.

Well, why shouldn't he release his tax returns?

It immediately provokes a question: what is he trying to hide?

BRAVA!

Courage and guts. Nice job! And I hope you shamed the three women sitting there in that office listening and probably at least pretending they thought it was funny.

We're in a new era here. This shit is no longer funny, or acceptable, or defensible.

Reverse Robin Hood.

Now there's something I'd like to see.

Megyn Kelly - back at Pox Noise, where she won't have a chance to contaminate anything beyond the Dark Side.

DAYUM, NurseJackie - that's a great one!

"At this late date, most people would have learned that if one continues to pick at scabs and then it's totally unreasonable to complain that the wound won't heal."

I couldn't agree more. A keeper for sure.
