'Major Endorsement' from Rand coming tomorrow

When you give heroin to a heroin addict do you ask him what he's going to use it for? Oh, yeah, it's a bad idea to give heroin to a heroin addict.


I thought we were arguing about Trump being one of the worst offenders when it came to political donations..

I'm just saying that a lot of political donations are a defensive move, they do it because they want to be treated fairly compared to their competitors who may be donating also.

If you showed me evidence that Trump gave money to a certain politician because he expected X, I'd like to know what X is.. or did he just give them money mostly so they wouldn't give him the government shaft?

X is either endorsement of the politician or some product of graft. That's a reasonable conclusion, right?

I get these "real world" issues, but I'm not convinced graft is necessary for financial success, and feeding that system certainly isn't fixing the problem. Why do mental gymnastics to justify condoning corruption, let alone vote for the corrupt? And trump's list of recipients is simply too reprehensible to ignore. Soros couldn't have picked them better himself.

Weird... Slightly off topic. I dont watch much spongebob, but I recall watching this one with the kids. It was this very scenario - is it part of some other movie?

The spongebob episode was one where he'd forgotten his name because all he knew was fine dining.

I'm not justifying feeding the system to fix the problem, I'm justifying feeding the system to keep your large business afloat that you have invested your life into and don't want to have it all stolen.. think of it as ransom money or something.

I don't even really like Donald Trump, nor do I support him, I just don't think that the fact he gave money to politicians alone is hugely negative in our current environment - unless he gave them money for promises to take out his competition or specifically to take away large swaths of our liberty.. but I don't know why specifically the money was given.

I think for most of us, we aren't really mad at people for buying access or buying politicians in the sense that if me or you could we might do the same. Trump supported candidates against us and ran against us in the last two presidential elections. Most of us don't care if he ripped off banks by bribing politicians. We care if he ripped us off by campaigning against us, making our efforts, and our hard earned money for naught.
 
RT cancelled a guest segment, this pundit sounded bitter. She says I guess Rand Paul does have a sense of humor.
