QuoteMitt Romney was loudly booed at the Utah Republican party convention on Saturday – and called a "traitor" and a "communist" as he tried to speak.
:lol: I cannot think of anybody less "communist" than an arch-conservative Mormon venture capitalist. I guess it shows how much the GOP is now a Trump personality cult. Let's see if they can somehow rid themselves of that...

Private equity, not venture capital. :nerd:

Ventrue capital sucks.

I suppose you prefer more Salubrious alternatives?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well, when I got to wear those straw boaters.  I was born in a democracy, and I now wonder If I'll die in one.

The whole thing sends Tremeres up my spine. You guys enjoy your Brujah-ha.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

First few seasons of House of Cards.

So I guess GOP is permanently lost now? Anyone who stands up to Trump is being purged.
