Myron and his wife are "good Catholics". Rose just about says Mass at St.Joseph's and runs the parish! I can't understand how Evangelical Christians and Catholics can be so hypocritical in their support for Trump. "The Donald" does not practice anything I ever was taught during 8 years at St. Mary's, 4 years at Malden Catholic or 3 years at Boston College Law School.
The local Repug Base is exactly that, and the local ringleader of the fake dems is no better, having its own tiny pug version of "Locker Room" Guy. Anyone who's been around more than five minutes has heard RD espouse the kind of hateful spew he richly offers (about women, people of other backgrounds, political opponents) knows that this is true. And his pitbulls (MD, MG, RVC) have fully embraced abusing their authority in any way possible, including trying to have opponents arrested, harassed, threatened with lawsuits... Local Locker Room Guy is a wannabe small-town clown creep while The D is the full-blown Clown Nightmare, with plenty of mentally imbalanced and morally deranged local base.
MFD should be totally ashamed waving away the "indiscretions" like the most extreme of the RNC and deflecting it all on the Other Side (which has nothing of which to feel proud either). The entire political scene is a corrupt $hitshow, thanks to a generally debauched and uneducated populace and the moneyed influence allowed by Citizens United, which Bernie has now pressured Hil into promising to overturn. The RNC is imploding, as it should have months ago when they couldn't manage to unseat their #1 menacing clown (they had a whole fleet running for that spot, and the worst of the bunch "rose" to the nomination). So now, those with a vestige of conscience are claiming shock at the newest videos (most of us could have predicted such moral atrocities), now that there is no question that DT espouses sexual assault (though only if a powerful white man like he perceives himself is the aggressor). Finally the morally bankrupt RNC has found evidence--that Their Guy is a repulsive and dangerous criminal--that even it cannot refute! MFD, if this is your idea of taking the moral high ground, you have failed completely. That is sad given that you do try to be a moral and contributing citizen. How about rethinking what you are saying? Even if, like so many of us, you cannot stand HRC, do you really think that there is any moral defense of DT, who is an admitted sexual predator, among his many atrocities? Would you allow your children or grandchildren to be alone with him, especially any female ones?
Better yet - would you actually allow a known RAPIST to be in the same vicinity of your daughters, granddaughters, and White House interns with Bill Clinton standing next to Hillary? Think not!
Once again, you choose to half-heartedly agree that your party "has nothing of which to feel proud", but then focus your entire post on the other side. I do not pretend to take the moral high ground, nor do I think MFD is acting as if he is doing so. You are correct that both sides are incredibly flawed. I happen to feel that DT is less flawed. You may disagree, but don't act as if HRC is the moral high ground. Absurd. MFD has nothing about which to be "ashamed". He doesn't name-call, and I would hardly say he is morally defending DT. He just is going to vote for his choice of the better candidate. You can do the same.
Also, may I just say that I find in incredibly creepy that anyone would talk about his wife's church habits. Yikes. Judge lest ye be judged, creepo.
The DNC as it stands is not "my" party as the previous poster presumed incorrectly. Once upon a time it was a party worthy of support. It lost any credibility remaining when it behaved as it did this past election cycle. The DNC is now utterly corrupt (locally and nationally, sadly), just as is the RNC. Does that mean there is any viable alternative to DT other than HRC? Sorry to say, it does not. HRC is at least a competent, intelligent adult, though she has proven to be corrupt as well. She is not, however, a raving misogynist racist sexual abuser, as DT undeniably is.
FYI By rights this discussion should move to the "other" chain since it really isn't about the schools (except for the correlation to corrupt local dem politics).
Reduced to it's simplest description, this election is going to be decided by how many votes the Dems have bought with all their "social welfare" programs for immmigrants, both legal and illegal, vs. how many right wing religious nutjobs and other assorted whackos show up on election day. No matter who wins, it is the end of America as we know it.
Isn't it about time we took our country back? And haven't you figured out yet that there is really only one way to do that?
Let's start a pool - which will be the first state to secede? I'm thinking Texas, then Oklahoma. If it was Massachusetts it would make me very proud, but you can forget that.
We sure needed that rain yesterday!
Yes, and all the racist, anti-Muslim, misogynistic "too bad it is not 1958 when the world was perfect" Trump supporters.
I hope that's the case, because I found What's Wrong With you?'s comments to be spot on.
And although pessimistic, I found this from another poster also interesting:
"Reduced to it's simplest description, this election is going to be decided by how many votes the Dems have bought with all their "social welfare" programs for immmigrants, both legal and illegal, vs. how many right wing religious nutjobs and other assorted whackos show up on election day. No matter who wins, it is the end of America as we know it."
And BTW - 1958 wasn't all it was cracked up to be either.
O.k...folks - let's end this conversation on the fact that we all agree to disagree on this matter of Trump versus Hillary! The national election in less than 30 days will determine the winner and loser! Get out and vote!
Lesson to be learned: Change.
How many BJ,s do you think Bill Clinton got when he was president? Maybe 50 to 100...
It is October 14th and unbelievably, the prohibited confidential information is STILL up on the school committee website and MPS website!
Not sure what you are talking about. Read the question that was asked "in the white house". Monica has admitted it was consensual. Go away.
MR, there are many of us who will indeed not "vote her in", but PLEASE tell me that you certainly don't expect us to vote for the buffoon instead!
Don't waste your breath on the voters in this state! They have been consuming the "Democrat juice" all their lives! They don't mind voting for a sick, corrupt, vile, despicable, liar as long as there is a DEMOCRAT label next to her name.
Just think about the fact that the last 3 Speakers of the House in Mass have been convicted of felonies and two have been jailed - tells you all you need to know about the political corruption in this single party state! And current Speaker DeLeo will certainly be the next one as soon as he leaves office - guaranteed! One thing that this state loves to vote for are corrupt politicians and Hillary meets that state requirement - and more!
So all you good Democrats - hold your nose, cover your ears, and mask your face - while you pull that lever or fill in that circle in the voting booth - 'cause the shame is on you!
The Clinton Foundation is the Clinton's private bank account..I met a renowned photojournalist who visited Haiti and chronicled life there for over 4 years.. in corrugated tin roof mud huts.. as the people waited for the $2 BILLION from the "Foundation". This photojournalist also creates unique metal sculptures and " blings" them.
Her source for the metal comes from the steel drums of Haiti and she not only buys them from the Haitians but pays them to cut it for her , thus allowing them to earn some money.
After the last devastating, earth leveling hurricane she has not been able to contact these poor people..probably because they never received their share of the $ 2 BILLION given to the Foundation directly earmarked for Haiti to build a secure infrastructure. They were simply " washed away."
On the heels of this conversation was the accounting of the Clinton's robbing and stealing china, crystal and whatever else wasn't nailed down from the White House. Speaking of nailing, Hilary sold her integrity, morals and everything else when she " forgave" her Bill for "nailing" his intern.
I have never posted anything political but this story simply made me sick.
Thank you for that observation Mr. Trump.....[:-?]
Who ever becomes president it will only be for four years. I would rather a new change and someone who cares about jobs, borders, and the well being of true American's and not for every Tom, Dick and Harry. People are so stupid and they are the first to complain. I see this at my job everyday in the schools. Stupid people that are the biggest phonies and fake. So twelve more years of Obama!!!
It is what it is.
How is KB and SC doing in the high school? Heard the teachers don't respect them for the out come and CT doing nothing but, rewarding them.
Did the school committee pass the vote so CT and her gain can check and fire you if you use her computers and go on face book.
Knifes found on a student in the middle school. What's next CT with all your changes no one knows what the HELL is going on.
Melrose Schools moral is at an all-time low. I have worked here for 20 plus years, been through the ups and downs various superintendents and principals. This administration encourages dissension among coworkers. People who we considered friends are now stabbing each other in the backs to get ahead. We are a revolving door and who suffers the most? Your children. We are supposed to be teaching students academics, social skills and conflict resolution. How can shunning commence with a vengeance and continue until you can't take it no more. How can that be accomplished when we are poor examples encouraged to do so by Cyndi Taymore and principals. Shame on this administration that employees are made to behave in such a reprehensible way just to survive here and save our jobs. If you don't follow this directive the ramifications of retaliation. Sad but true...
He should be fired the Winthrop School principal for doing that to a student. What is wrong with this administration...
Wonder if BC at the Roosevelt was doing favors to some of the staff and that's why she was let go? Favors to all her friends, like did not say if they were absent, or if leaving school early. BC where are your friends now?
