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.

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?

The Clinton team is screaming "FIRE!" about Trump winning the GOP primary, when they helped make that happen.

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.

Clinton's Huge Donor & Univision Owner, Saban, Wants Scrutiny of Muslims
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/

“I’m not suggesting we put Muslims through some kind of a torture room to get them to admit that they are or they’re 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 week’s 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 Clinton’s 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? I’d rather be not free and alive. The reality is that certain things that are unacceptable in times of peace—such as profiling, listening in on anyone and everybody who looks suspicious, or interviewing Muslims in a more intense way than interviewing Christian refugees—is all acceptable . Why? Because we value life more than our civil liberties and it’s temporary until the problem goes away.


But to say this is shameful—I disagree. … I’m not suggesting we put Muslims through some kind of a torture room to get them to admit that they are or they’re not terrorists. But I am saying we should have more scrutiny.

“You want to be free and dead? I’d rather be not free and alive.” — Haim Saban



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 Syria—a war-torn country that ISIS calls home—regardless 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: it’s about scrutinizing every single individual coming from a country with ISIS strongholds.”

That’s a walk back, all right. But I’m not buying. First, look at the breadth of Saban’s opening paragraph. It’s not just about the “religious distinction” for refugees: It’s about civil liberties at home—something refugees, who must apply and be accepted before they arrive here, do not enjoy. Of Saban’s 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? (It’s worth noting that Saban’s notion of “temporary” limits on civil liberties during a time of war is meaningless when we’re waging an endless war.)
