Random Politics & Religion #00

Don't get me wrong there are good TV shows but they are hard to find sorta like finding a decent woman !

They give you 3 months free with Direct TV. And you record the movies shows you want. Then cancel !

I didn't realize how many terrible movies existed till I had HBO...

Meanwhile in Obama land:

LAS VEGAS — There are the people on his side on the Iran deal, President Barack Obama said Monday evening. Then there are “the crazies.”

Back from a notably uneventful and restful two-week vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Obama was immediately on the road for a short trip here, first to speak at a green energy conference hosted by retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, then to raise money for his preferred successor, former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.

Ruddy from the sun, Obama described himself as “refreshed, renewed, recharged — a little feisty.”

And he delivered, recounting the ride he and Reid had just taken from the conference to the fundraiser in his up-armored presidential limo, where they talked about old times and getting back to Washington to “deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems.”

The line evoked the late Dean Acheson, who as secretary of state liked to refer to opponents of Harry Truman’s foreign policy as ”the primitives.”

Pope Benedict XVI's successor is being chosen by the College of Cardinals in Conclave in the Sistine Chapel. The 115 cardinal-electors, meeting in strict secrecy, will need to reach a two-thirds-plus-one vote majority to elect the 266th Pontiff. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

NAHAL TOOSI

Getting the Iran deal through Congress will be Obama’s major hurdle coming into September.

Likely incoming Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is against the deal, as are a number of other Hill Democrats. Obama’s already been under fire for saying opponents of the deal have made “common cause” with Iranian hardliners, with Republicans pressing him on whether he’d lump Democrats into that group along with the GOP.

On Sunday, Reid backed the deal, and though he said Monday that there’s a long way to go, in the White House and beyond, his support is seen as very helpful.

“Harry’s leadership matters,” Obama said earlier at the conference, referring to his support.

In a reflective mood, Obama said he and Reid also spent part of the ride talking about “riding off in the sunset together.”

“It’s hard for me to express how much I love Harry Reid,” Obama said. “Everything I’ve accomplished I’ve accomplished because Harry Reid was by my side.”

Reid, who sat in the front row of the fundraiser, did his own gushing just a short while earlier, saying of the president, “The best is yet to come.”

What the deal with Jon Stewart doing 'professional' wrestling now?

Just now I thought his entire show was nothing more than a farce !

You go from late night comedy/facts I don't like to pro wrestler !

I hope he does celebrity boxing first on the list Hillary !

Sounds like he was hosting the wrestling event, and got in on the action.

And seriously, where would wrestling be without chairs?

Back in my day, wrestlers didn't need chairs.

All they needed was either a snake, a 2x4, or a pair of hedge-clippers.

Real wrestling is the most homo erotic thing you can watch in public !

Fake wrestling is about 90% soap opera 10% homo erotic.

I think he's just trying to shake the image of a political pundit.

Jassik is VIP what does the V stand for... ?

Voluptuous

Mine is voluptuous, get your own.

I'm guessing you get a nice velvet rope to keep you away from commoners now !

Makes sense, especially since it's all over the news. Or a slow news day.

Vicious? Vivacious? Villainous? Vietnamese?

It's a slow news day cause politico has about 30 stories all which involve Trump !

So you might say he's trumped other news...

I like Trump but even I am tired of all the coverage...

?

Why, how? are you ill?

Sounds like V for Vendetta !

I appreciate his "in your face" attitude.

Bingo.

Hrmm.

I think he has enough charisma to go pretty far. That is about 90% of being a politician.

Name a politician without an ego. How else do you convince yourself that you want to run a country? >_>

I'm going with vigorous.
