But not the blue shoes. He was headed out with them but Michele blocked him at the door and told him to march right back upstairs and put on the shoes she had picked out for him. He answered with a firm and unequivocal “Yes, dear”, so the Daughter’s Auxiliary Force was not required.
He started out wearing the tan shoes, pink shoelaces, and the polka dot vest. He gave up when he couldn’t find the big Panama with the purple hatband.
His counter-argument of “But, Michelle, I have my gold watch and diamond ring. I ain’t missin’ not a single thing.” did not sway her.
Dey terk er jerbs!
No, he just realized why he couldn’t find the big Panama pimp top, and then remembered that no matter where he goes, he’s gotta go home.
I always though the speculation about Hillary’s health was really overdone, but we did not need that doctor to come out and report that she deadlifts 405 pounds.
What? You don’t believe it?
She doesn’t drink the blood of babies for the taste, now does she?
(well a bit for the taste, but it’s an acquired taste.)
I got a note today from a buddy of mine who works at the State Department. He says he got a few days’ vacation while they renovate the offices on his floor - they sure seem eager to spend that extra budget money in a hurry - and he sent me a rough draft of a speech Clinton might give in a few months when she visits the UK. Among other stops, there might be a commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice. I dunno what to make of it:
[INDENT]We gather today to mark the hundredth anniversary of the end of the Great War, the War that in its time was said to be the War to end all War. Tragically and obviously, it did not. There were numerous horrors yet to come in the next hundred years, and though we are gradually and slowly shedding the violence that has plagued humanity since its beginning, we’ve a long way yet to go.
There is a British comedy film of a few years ago, I’m sure most of you know it, in which a veteran of the RAF says to a “Yank” that we’re always late for every war. I laughed but when I thought about the remark afterward, I felt a little stab of remorse. It is sadly true that the United States was not with you in 1914 or in 1940. At those times, we felt we could remain isolated and aloof behind the oceans. It wasn’t true then, it isn’t true now. Of the sixteen million dead in the Great War, how many could our prompt involvement had spared? Who can say? War will always leave us with the cruel riddles of regret: “What could we have done?”, and “My God, what have we done?”
It is my deepest desire for the rest of my term in office and my deepest hope for the century to come that the United States and the United Kingdom remain together united in purpose and friendship, to advance the common cause of liberty and to resist the divisive forces of tyranny. As thinking human beings, we have the luxury of imagining alternate realities where rationality and kindness always win over fear and fury, but we cannot live in those imagined places. The struggles for the future remain, with all the risks and all the costs, but I wish you, my kind hosts, to know this: we will be with you. We will not watch from across the sea while the sons and daughters of our dear cousins fall on distant battlefields. I offer you, after the Book of Ruth, that whither thou goest, we will go. Thy freedoms will be our freedoms. Thy enemies will be our enemies. Thy future will be our future. Thank you.[/INDENT]
A good, well written, literate speech. But look at the Twittershitter we have instead… a shitgibbon who keeps saying in effect “fuck you make me rich”, and who worships tyrants and madmen.
I thought the point of this thread was a wistful thought-experiment of possible gripes had Clinton won in 2016, not for reminders of the shabby reality that ignorance delivered us.
Actually, the point of this thread was so that Silver Lining, Octopus, et al could bring in their “Hillary/Obama!” arguments in here rather than waste our time in the many current events threads. Given the sheer number of responses they, and others on the Wrong* side, make re: Hillary/Obama, you would think BHOHRC (pronouced “ba-hork”) are the current co-Presidents.
For example:
“Trump shouldn’t be Putin’s patsy, which he showed in Helsinki.”
“Yeah? What about that ONE TIME OBAMA SAID ‘I’LL HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY AFTER THE ELECTION’? Huh? HUH?!?”
This thread is/was originally for those comments… and mocking those that would make that last comment… as it is irrelevant to the topic of Trump in Helsinki. It morphed into what you said it was, which was totally cool, but that wasn’t the intended purpose.
*Just didnt want to say “right side” for obvious reasons. 
Dang. We always called them “pimp lids”.
It was never going to work. Silver Lining lost all appreciation of irony after those times his father beat him with a fireplace poker and octopus is an idiot.
and all this time, I thought it was Colonel Mustard.
I’m still reeling from that time Obummer and Hitlery took my guns and sent me to the FEMA death camp in Texas.
