(11,243 posts)I am still mesmerized by the woman's hair on the right. It is so... big. And it defies the laws of gravity.

(39,961 posts)but I wonder about it, too. It's astonishing how it stays like that and is so large.
I'm not trying to criticize her looks, she's obviously a very beautiful woman, but the hair ... it's absolutely fascinating that it stays that way.

(4,528 posts)this is Trump's wedding and this might shock you but he was pretty much a democrat at the time. It is good manners to be conversational at someone's wedding. What don't you just be realistic. Do you think this helps your cause?

(23,730 posts)they'd urged Trump to get more involved in the GOP
it fits their pattern of them endorsing things that blow up in their faces
The Clinton team is screaming "FIRE!" about Trump winning the GOP primary, when they helped make that happen.
I think that makes it Arson, doesn't it?

(1,820 posts)I always wonder why men in politics feel it is okay to touch women in such a familiar way. They don't hug men? I think it is "hey there little woman" kind of attitude.

http://forward.com/opinion/national/325490/does-hillary-clinton-have-a-haim-saban-problem/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/11/19/top-clinton-donor-calls-for-increased-scrutiny-of-muslims/
Im not suggesting we put Muslims through some kind of a torture room to get them to admit that they are or theyre not terrorists. But I am saying we should have more scrutiny.
Saban also said that he is unsure if the screening process for Syrian refugees, which has taken center stage since last weeks terrorist attack in Paris, can sufficiently minimize the threat of terrorists entering the country by posing as refugees.
In an interview with the Hollywood industry site the Wrap published on the same day as Clintons CFR speech, Saban said (with my emphasis):
Many members of the Hollywood community are very liberal and they value their civil liberties more than they value life. I disagree with that. You want to be free and dead? Id rather be not free and alive. The reality is that certain things that are unacceptable in times of peacesuch as profiling, listening in on anyone and everybody who looks suspicious, or interviewing Muslims in a more intense way than interviewing Christian refugeesis all acceptable . Why? Because we value life more than our civil liberties and its temporary until the problem goes away.
But to say this is shamefulI disagree.

Instead of garnering a swift rebuke from the Clinton camp, as did Bowers, Saban ended up releasing a statement, published by the Washington Post, gently walking back his comments. I misspoke. I believe that all refugees coming from Syriaa war-torn country that ISIS calls homeregardless of religion require additional scrutiny before entering the United States, Saban told the paper. I regret making a religious distinction as opposed to a geographical one: its about scrutinizing every single individual coming from a country with ISIS strongholds.
Thats a walk back, all right. But Im not buying. First, look at the breadth of Sabans opening paragraph. Its not just about the religious distinction for refugees: Its about civil liberties at homesomething refugees, who must apply and be accepted before they arrive here, do not enjoy. Of Sabans list of things that are acceptable in times of war, only one (interviewing Muslims in a more intense way) refers to refugees. The rest are more general positions and would apply to broader policy making. One is left wondering what Hillary Clinton thinks of these positions. Does she believe in profiling? (Its worth noting that Sabans notion of temporary limits on civil liberties during a time of war is meaningless when were waging an endless war.)
