I'll look him up
Senator from Colorado. Started Democrat, switched to Republican. Good guy.

My favorite Nighthorse anecdote is that one day he was waiting for the little private subway that takes the senators from their offices to the Capitol, and some deranged lefty who had snuck in attacked Senator Strom Thurmond. While the Capitol Police stood around with their thumbs up their butts, Nighthorse, a former Olympian in judo and a former cop, took down the attacker, and when the Capitol cops finally got there, looked up at the Capitol cop and said "Give me your cuffs," cuffed the attacker, and turned him over to the Capitol cops.

Not exactly Kevin Vickers, but pretty cool.

Well Donald Trump in the news again and on the wrong side of history with his support of "traditional marriage."

This man is a fraud, a shameless pig-dog who's blissfully unaware of how out of touch he really is with reality. He's a spineless, xenophobic, treasure trolling, pendantic azz-hole. Displaying counterfeiting dispositions in accordance to whatever is relevant & nationally accepted. Donald was buddy - buddy with Mexico & Mexicans up until he decided to give it ago (announcing his presidential candidacy) in the senseless manner; What a politically monoclinous sow.

It appears Trump is good at making money but isn't very skilled at politics.

I'm mixed on the following story. Trump likely pulled a fast one on his 'How to get rich like me skool' but anyone who would enroll in such a thing deserves to get shafted.........






In the past, Trump's net worth has been notoriously hard to pin down, and experts have said it's likely a much lower number than he suggests. But earlier this week, a federal judge ruled that Trump will have to clarify some of his murky finances, as part of an ongoing lawsuit over a "university" Trump named after himself.


Trump got into the distance learning game in 2005 as a way to further cash in on his then-recent reality TV success. According to a federal complaint, Trump University was marketed as "the next best thing to being Trump's Apprentice" and improbably compared it to the University's of Pennsylvania's famous Wharton Business School.


In October of 2013, former student Art Cohen claimed in court that he paid almost $36,000 for a three-day event in Palo Alto with hopes of learning real estate secrets from instructors that Trump handpicked. But actually, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Trump University was a scam school being run without a license. A court agreed, and Cohen's complaint evolved into a class action lawsuit


In the latest development of the case, US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel announced Tuesday that Trump must disclose how much money he made from tricking wannabe business moguls with deep pockets and a shallow understanding of what differentiates an Ivy League business school and a weekend conference held at hotel.


"In this case, plaintiffs seek more than just a figure of Trump's net worth," Curiel wrote. "Moreover, the court finds it is not fair to say that Trump's net worth is equally available to plaintiff from publicly available sources. Publicly available figures of Trump's wealth have been the subject of wild speculation and range anywhere from $4 to $9 billion. Simply stated, plaintiffs are entitled to answers made under penalty of perjury."


The ruling could soon provide a rare glimpse into the finances of a man who constantly brags about being rich despite having declared bankruptcy four times. Losing the Spanish-language broadcast of Miss Universe and Miss USA will cost him $13.5 million dollars, and it's said that he makes $65 million a year through his work on The Apprentice. It's unclear how much his mattress contract was worth.

Trump weighs in on shooting with Mexican suspect

NEW YORK - A random fatal shooting in San Francisco, allegedly by an immigrant, proves the United States must tighten its borders, according to a statement on Friday by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is facing heavy criticism for his comments about Mexicans.
Kathryn Steinle, 32, was fatally shot as she walked with her father along the popular Embarcadero pier on Wednesday in what San Francisco police described as an apparent random attack.
Francisco Sanchez, 45, was quickly arrested nearby. He is on probation from Texas, police said.
He has a long criminal history and has been deported to Mexico five times, according to local media reports.
"This senseless and totally preventable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately," Trump said in a statement.
"This is an absolutely disgraceful situation and I am the only one that can fix it. Nobody else has the guts to even talk about it," the billionaire developer and television personality said.
When announcing his plans on June 16 to seek the Republican nomination for president, Trump described immigrants from Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists.
His comments prompted a widespread outpouring of criticism.
Comcast Corp.'s NBC network cut ties with Trump and the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, and Spanish-language network Univision pulled the July 12 Miss USA pageant.
Department store chain Macy's Inc said it would phase out Trump's menswear collection and New York City said it was reviewing its contracts with the developer.
"Macy's is a company that stands for diversity and inclusion. We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form," Macy's said.
Trump fired back, saying it was his decision to end ties with Macy's. He also filed a US$500 million lawsuit against Univision for dropping the event.
