Honestly the older I get, the more I learn better on budgeting.

I can tell you this - going out shopping at the mall is pretty much now an “every couple weeks” trend for me. Same goes for getting take out.

Sometimes though, it sucks when I’m having a really crummy day and I find myself driving to the nearest pizzeria to get a sandwich or pizza or feel the urge to go to Target and buy unnecessary stuff. :smirk:

Hey, check it out, looks like Trump's got a new golfing buddy!

They can hit the links together, then go bang some porn stars afterwards!

On a related note, this proves to be another interesting example of how most Republicans seem to only like certain black people of questionable behavior - in this case, Tiger Woods's sexcapades almost mirror Trump's to a tee.

So, what you are saying is that Republicans tend to like people on the content of their character as opposed to the color of their skin. It's almost like conservatives treat black people like people instead.

To me, both sides are just as guilty of only “loving and appreciating” people because of how they feel politically - once they reveal what they support, their whole attitudes change.

The big schism in this country seems to be, compared side by side, Obama was the best president and Trump is the worst. Or Trump is the best and Obama was the worst. Neither one is true.
Each man has to rise and fall on his own merits, and sometimes it might take years to get an accurate assessment.
Andrew Jackson, back in 1840, was not very popular, but for the only time in this country's history, there was no national debt.
Nixon, even with Watergate and prolonging the Vietnam War, made strides with China to stem the tide of Communism.

What about Barack Obama hanging out with good role models like these people ?

Did Snowth ever have a problem with Obama hanging out with good role models like Jay Z or Drake? But I thought liberals were all about second chances when it comes to people in their party, but if the shoe is on the other foot you call for their head. There is nothing wrong with President Trump being friends with tiger woods and giving the medal to a celebrity he admires. Every other president including bush and obama did the exact same thing.

There are people on both sides that serve their constituents well, are honest, and can lead without being embroiled in scandal. But you'll never hear about these people because it's not sensational enough. Divisiveness sells. It's great for ratings. Forget the poor schmuck toiling away in government without fanfare. The biggest mouths get all the attention.

How do I feel about Trump? Ben Shapiro put it best. Trump is a hammer in search of a nail. When he hits a nail, it's great. When he hits a baby, not so much.
The best thing he's done so far? Probably being the biggest supporter of Israel in recent memory. The worst thing? Probably not being transparent enough about his taxes and involving his family to the point of nepotism.

I mean, it's so fitting that Trump would give the civilian award to a guy who has seen as much public controversy as Tiger; it's like I'm watching an episode of The Office, but even they wouldn't write **** this ****** up. Just another unnecessary demonstration of stupidity.
