school "walkouts" - let's flip the election result for argument's sake

Walk-outs are not part of any political process.

There's no reason anyone should care about credibly anyway.

Not getting that last part of that sentence. Either OhmIsLife had a stroke or I did! I think he's saying he doesn't need to be credible in Gul's eyes, which I would agree with.

This just in, Clinton's a private citizen. Trump scandals are something we need to consider, Clinton "scandals" are pretty much irrelevant. Got anything you can say about Trump?

That is true - like I said walk out of your job mid-stroke and keep on walking until you get to the unemployment office. But if you staged a legal organized protest on non-school time it could be used as a learning tool. But an off-the-cuff non approved student led walkout is just throwing a tantrum and should be shut the fuck down immediately. The walkout should be condemned by thr right and the left. Every parent should put a foot up their kid's ass (not literally) for doing this.

Civil disobedience is part of all politics, or you haven't been paying attention. It's an American tradition.
Read up.

It's 140 degree dry sauna, not wet. It keeps your muscles building after you stop a workout by up to 20%. It also keeps my muscles from being sore after working out a lot.

Civil disobedience is not part of any political process, either. If they had paid attention in school they would know that.

Yes - he's a political "outsider" though he has contacts in political circles built up over the years. Because he's not a career republican he is more likely to work with experts from all political leanings in implementing his ideas. He is a hard worker who is already ahead of most prior president-elects in his transitional period. His being elected is being aggressively opposed and scrutinized by the left at the current time. Hope that brought you up to speed Gul!

I never knew that! I see a lot of guys my age using it, but I'm not too jazzed about being around other sweaty old guys like myself. So what is the science behind building your muscles by up to 20 percent?

I remember being in school and hearing kids talking about walk-outs. It was more about a convenient excuse to get out of class than about politics for them.

Plus they'd get to put on airs about being involved in matters far beyond themselves!

In later years, in advanced AP/IB classes with more dedicated and knowledgeable students, nobody talked about walk-outs.

I honestly can't remember try foundmyfitness.com. I was listening to the woman who has that website. She's a PHD in microbiology and body chemicals and stuff and goes deep into physiology as well.

Dr Rhonda Patrick.

She's done a few podcasts with Joe Rogan and they are incredibly interesting. They really get into how the body works and reacts to things.

Thanks! I'm going to check her out.

Pence walked out of a Hamilton Performance.

true but was it on his off-time?

There were Secret Service. The VP is always awful, but never OFF.

I couldn't stand that shit. Even the average person doesn't have privacy these days - imagine 24/7 lack of privacy? That would age you faster than anything when it comes to being the president or anyone in his circle.

I actually like dry saunas more than the Jacuzzi-type.

A good sweat is cleansing.

You understand that she was Secretary of State, right? So if she was peddling influence, mishandling classified information, getting people killed, and then lying about it all and destroying evidence, that's all kind of a big deal and it doesn't just go away because she doesn't have that job anymore. Of course you do. It just doesn't fit with your dingbat worldview, so you'll just gloss it over and pretend that "at this point, what does it matter?"

Got it, you can't figure out a way to make Trump look good, so everything is still about Clinton. I'm sure you have no clue how pathetic that is, but FYI, it's really fucking pathetic.

It's still about Clinton because scores of corrupt high officials who committed felonies to protect her are still in positions of power. The whole DoJ/FBI mess reeks. Comey is certainly going to lose his job, at minimum, but what were the contacts between the DoJ and the Clinton campaign, including the infamous meeting between the AG and Bill Clinton on the Arizona tarmac. What was the quid-pro-quo between the head of the FBI investigation into Clinton and Virginia governor and Clinton fixer Terry McAuliffe?

There's a long list of Clinton cronies in the Podesta e-mails who need to face a jury.

The time to have had a meltdown was the day after the election, @gul . Why the delay? Anyway, I hope you recover soon.

The people who can't let go of the election are the ones who keep talking about Clinton. I agree, they should move on, maybe defend or condemn the actual President-elect.

You don't forget about a criminal just because their getaway car broke down.

Can we wait for him to actually do something before doing either?

The President-elect has done many things over the past week. Tweets, appointments, etc. This isn't nearly as comprehensive picture of who he is, as what he has done and said during the election, and in his life.

I think his history has an important bearing on discussions as this gives some evidence of how he might perform as President. Hillary's performance as a candidate, Secretary of State, Senator, First Lady, does not have much significance to how Trump will perform.

Past is not prologue

The trouble is, the press is so over-the-top biased that we're not going to get any reasonable picture of how Trump is performing. They lost their fucking minds when he went to a restaurant without them.

The New York Post on crying wolf

For the good of us all, though, and in the interest of rebuilding the wreckage of its reputation, the media should go back to having gradations of outrage. Switching transition chairmen isn’t the Saturday Night Massacre, and going out for a steak without telling the hacks isn’t on a par with, say, deleting 33,000 e-mails.

The Trump Era hasn’t even started yet. The media should wait for something to actually happen before it declares the end of the world.​

How "good" does Trump have to look to be better than Clinton? To quote Volpone "you understand that she was Secretary of State, right? So if she was peddling influence, mishandling classified information, getting people killed, and then lying about it all and destroying evidence, that's all kind of a big deal and it doesn't just go away because she doesn't have that job anymore."
So let's say it is, now, all about Trump. You won't even give the man a chance based on your future projections, yet you were ready, willing, and able to accept Hillary knowing she is a PROVEN liability? And this seems normal to you? This is the person you want to represent your country?

One of the huge reasons Hillary lost is that in middle America, lying, cheating, and stealing is viewed as an extremely bad behavior that shows a person has a complete lack of moral character. Hillary would not be able to lead America because nobody would believe a word she said, including foreign leaders and their citizens. Everyone in international politics has to deal with quite a few corrupt, lying, self-serving, petty Third World tyrants. Hillary would just be yet another one.
