They've had drunken brawls there before. Spunky.
And Bristol with another baby daddy baby; shilling for an abstinence-only group didn't stick. The father, widely known although Bristol won't name him, has to submit DNA to gain paternal rights.
But the Palins can see traditional family values from their front porch.

Wouldn't it be fun to start a whisper campaign that their names are Barack and Hussein.

Wow, what a piece of shit. She tries deflect how dysfunctional her own family is (while preaching good 'ole fashioned family values from the pulpit) by throwing Obama under the bus. Cheap, lowly political ploy.

Some funny political news from my country
Minister Koprivnikar will propose the dismissal of the Secretary of State Janka Burgarja , who stole pate and soup cubes.
While at the same time the former prime minister who was accused of taking bribes in some arms deals had his case thrown out because it took too long. some 300 million in damages to my country. Or the new coal plant that cost 1.4 billion for 600 MW of power that will encounter 200 million in losses in the next 5 years. While a new nuclear power plant with 2 one gigawatt reactors would cost 1.8 billion. No nothing to see there that was all perfectly legal no money was stolen. The main thing is that we get the guy who stole pate and soup cubes.
Sorry about the rant had to rant somewhere about this.

Remember the media treatment of Obama's church in 2008
The media kept making a big deal out of Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright saying that the United States had been a racist country.
They never asked Palin to promise that she wasn't going to try to start wars in the Middle East based on her religion (a major problem in American society is religious Christian dispensationalists attempting to pass off the Middle eastern situation as "God doing it" one the one hand, while deliberately manipulating it on the other).
"God and the Bible predicted the Middle Eastern wars between the exact nations that are fighting today" is the common claim.
They don't seem to understand the difference between the (right-wing Christian) American supported British Empire drawing up borders and God "doing it".
The people who draw the borders claim that we should all be shocked, like "wow , look at God's word coming true".
Palin didn't have to answer any tough questions but Obama had to denounce his Pastor.

She would probably agree not to start wars in the Middle East. After all, she probably thinks that the middle east is Pennsylvania and nearby states, and she wouldn't want to start a war there.

Apparently Track beating his gf was Obamas fault. Because veterans have to question their worth - I guess because Obama hates them or something - they hit other people. That was this rambling morons rationale (sorry to use a word that sounds rational when talking about Ms Palin).
What next, because Obama hadns shut down PP, Bristol Palin was forced to become pregnant out of wedlock, twice?

Re: Palin Endorses Trump
Words that look similar but mean different things:
PALINDROME - a word, or phrase, which makes sense when read backward or forward.
PALINDRONE - a helter-skelter mishmash of words that don't make sense no matter how you look at it.

The next President will have a big debt.
With near 0% interest rates...
...at first.
I wonder if interest rates will rise.
Eventually there is going to be lots of defaults around the world.
If there are a lot of defaults, among nations, then perhaps the U.S. Dollar might be seen as the best currency to invest in.
Our interest rates might stay low but the economic crash could still make the debt jack up. And Jobs to be lost. And housing debts will be unpayable to many.
And if houses loose value, then there goes a lot of economic drivers (borrowing against a mortgage to finance purchases to fuel the economy).
I hope these "quantitative easing" programs keep on working. That means the markets don't consider it inflationary and trust that the government-purchased bonds (from the QE created money) will be (eventually)sold back to investors (liquidating the QE created money out of existence).
It still seems like the lower interest (and mortgage) rates today (due to QE purchases of Treasury and mortgage bonds) will be at the expense of (much)higher interest rates later when the government starts selling the trillions in bonds to private investors.
Rates will have to be high to attract investors.
And if we have an economic collapse along the way then current fiscal budgets (per year) will need to attract lots of bond purchases just to finance day to day operations.
I would fear getting the job of President myself. The next Pres could get blamed for a lot that is only partially his/her fault.

To a politician, nothing is ever their fault.

Bloomberg source says a run possible
Bloomberg considers a Independent run if the field contains Sanders vs Trump-or Cruz.
Wow. This will probably split both democrat and republican moderates and independent voters .
