Why . . .

. . . don't we simply require our 'elected officials' (of both 'camps') to PROVE 'conspiracy' theories and penalize them if they make an accusation that they cannot substantiate. This would save the taxpayers (US!!!) much money in wasted time . . . (case in point below)

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/mcconnell-denounces-kavanaugh-feeding-frenzy-doubles-down-vote-week-n916206)

". . . McConnell said that since Ford’s original letter became public, “a literal mudslide of wild, uncorroborated accusations have poured out.”. . . “This mudslide has been actively embraced, urged on and capitalized upon by Democrats inside this chamber and [by] far-left special interests outside,” he added. . . Despite the allegations, McConnell said again that he plans to hold a final floor vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination in the next few days, and argued that Kavanaugh has “sterling academic credentials” and praised his “widely acknowledged legal brilliance.”. . .

Question . . .

If you google:

"qualifications for the job of u.s. president?"

you receive 'about 173,000,000 results'

Essentially, all you get, over and over again- is:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident ...

The requirement for this job would appear to require A LITTLE BIT MORE than merely these. . .
(the requirements for my last job were much more involved than this)

If . . .

. . . anything humorous (and apparently true) can be gleaned from recent events . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/what-trump-got-wrong-about-brett-kavanaugh-n915476)
“I'm not a drinker. I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life, OK. It's one of my only good traits. I don't drink,” Trump said. “Can you imagine if I had, what a mess I'd be? I would be the world's worst.” . . . Indeed, there is no evidence that the president has ever indulged in a drink. . ."

Kudos . . .

. . . to whom? (Let's get this straight) . . .

(from https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/12/trump-miracle-economy-credit/548882/)

". . . The Dow. . . set an all-time high 70 times in 2017—once every five days—while the unemployment rate has neared an all-century low. . . Is this happening because of President Trump? Yes, according to President Trump. . . Like so many miracles, this is revisionist history. . . Even if Trump’s first 100 days had produced a bevy of new legislation, it typically takes about a year for policy to affect national economic statistics. But Trump’s first 100 days produced no major legislation, despite effectively unwinding Obama-era regulations for labor, environmental, and consumer protections. Instead, Trump is treating the U.S. economy the way he might treat the licensing of a fully built hotel: He has slapped his surname on the facade and shifted around the interior decor. But the foundation, scaffolding, and architecture of the thing either preexisted his term or are beyond his control. . . The most important reason for this global boomlet is somewhat boring: After eight years of central banks printing money to help businesses and companies recover from the global financial crisis, the entire world finally seems to be growing. Global trade in 2017—which has little to do with White House policy—has grown at its fastest pace in the last five years. . . Claiming individual credit for global phenomena is a risky long-term strategy for any president. If the price of energy plummets, the White House will find that the Trump miracle will end, through no fault of Trump. Between 2010 and 2014, Obama presided over a 30 percent boom in mining jobs, thanks to a burst in energy demand and a fracking revolution whose technology was decades in the making. Two years later, all of that net job growth had disappeared, as the global price for natural gas plummeted. Obama wasn’t the captain of the global market for energy; he was merely a powerful bystander. That’s just how it is: The president depends on the economy far more than the economy depends on the president. . ."

Leading . . .

(from Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin)
". . . by his third term, (Theodore) Roosevelt had begun to soften his abrasive self-righteousness. Working with Democrats, whom he had previously labeled as "rotten," he brought the two parties together to pass civil service reform and a host of bills to benefit the city of New York. He had taken his weaknesses, his physical liabilities, his fears, and the brash and self-centered aspects of his leadership style, and had carefully worked to overcome them. . . "

More Pot . . .

. . . calling the kettle 'names'. . .

(quote from Brett Kavanaugh during Senate judiciary hearing of September 27, 2018)
Kavanaugh called Democratic opposition to his nomination ". . . revenge on behalf of the Clintons . . . and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups . . . "

The strong objection to millions of dollars rings very hollow in light of the 'massive' amounts of legislation proposed by Republicans to rid government of corruption . . .

Here . . .

. . . with you

I’ve never been one
To follow trends
I won't be with the crowd
When they round the bend
But I'll be with you
Until the very end 'cause
Where it's at is here with you

Fancy parties
Leave me cold and drained
Discos, crowds
And posturing in vain
Only feed some silly
Appetite unnamed
Where it's at is here with you

I don't want to see the moon
Fly to Paris May or June
I just want a one-way fare
To any place where
You'll be there

I don't need gold
Or precious things
Fancy clothes
Or even diamond rings
I only need the thrill
That being with you brings
Where it's at is here with you

For fame or power
I have no desire
I don't crave acceptance
Or to be admired
I'm just happy
Sitting with you by the fire
Where it's at is here with you

I don't want to see the moon
Fly to Paris May or June
I just want a one-way fare
To any place where
You'll be there

Here With You
