The wife has the five gallon bottles delivered. If we're out and about, we'll buy bottles.

I drank the tap water when I visited the Phillipines, both in Manila, and in Santa Cruz, Laguna. No issues. I guess all those years of eating hot dogs that fell into the dirt paid off. I drink the tap water here, too, although I have a faucet filter to try and pull out the chlorine.

The beer would usually be a safe bet since it's heated. Yet, with the P-I, you never know for sure if it's been heated or if the empty bottle had rats/roaches/wtfever before being refilled.

Trump is doing well. He is 5th on the list of presidential candidates that I hate.

I don't know if it is just me, but I have yet to see someone that I like and it will once again come down to choosing the candidate that I hate the least. They all come across as azzhats that make me want to throw my remote at the tv for different reasons!

Right. And if she does, she'll have her ass handed to her on a silver platter when Trump points out that the rest of the world is laughing at a woman who has stayed with a man who cheated on her with a college girl and made her look like a Guinea Fowl in the most public and embarrassing way possible. And he did it so often they even made a movie about it.

But hey, let her laugh. I'd love to see it.

She'll be doing it as President, so I doubt she'll mind.

Same happened to me.. back when Edith was cooking for me she always had one 5 gallon of water just for me.

But one day I was drinking from the wrong one and didn't get sick so have been drinking it every since.

I will admit that drinking water from a creek once got me sick though..

Really? It was one of the most one-sided betting lines in Super Bowl history. But that’s really irrelevant...I’m just using it as a metaphor. You can believe as you wish with regards to who the next President will be. I can guarantee you one thing: Trump will rip her an asshole big enough to drive a Buick through and I assure you she won’t be laughing about it whether she’s in the Oval Office or the Post Office.

And people who are paying attention will say “It’s about time.”

Here is an interesting op ed I think from the New Yorker. Long but worth the read.
Sent to me from a friend who sent it to him. Might or might not be true, but something to ponder.
I have a number of friends who seem to be in utter disbelief that Trump is doing as well as he is. I hear quite often, "What are his supporters thinking?"
If you want to get a better understanding of what is motivating Trump supporters, read the following article from "The New Yorker" magazine.
"Who is Donald Trump?"
The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?" The answer? A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political and media establishment. Some Trump supporters are like the 60s white girls who dated black guys just to annoy their parents. But most Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans In Name Only." They know there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates.
Ben Carson is not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz will (justifiably so) be tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio). The Trump supporters well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse. Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things. Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an [islamo-] Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.)
Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious. They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seen them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Yet those same voters are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016? Why?
Trump did not come from out of nowhere. His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures.
No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates [dems or reps] will slash federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.). Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education. (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.) No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham, Bush, and the other dishers of donkey fazoo now eagerly eating corn in Iowa and pancakes in New Hampshire.
Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:
Anyone named Bush
Anyone named Clinton
Anyone who's held political office
Political correctness
Illegal immigration
Massive unemployment
Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures
Welfare waste and fraud
People faking disabilities to go on the dole
TSA airport groping
ObamaCare
The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes
Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine
Michelle Obama's vacations
Michelle Obama's food police
Barack Obama's golf
Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures
Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America
Valerie Jarrett
"Holiday trees"
Hollywood hypocrites
Global warming nonsense
Cop killers
Gun confiscation threats
Stagnant wages
Boys in girls' bathrooms
Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century... and that's just the short list.
Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues. They certainly know that none of the establishment candidates are better than barely listening to them, and Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham Rove Bush!" The more the talking head political pundits insult the Trump supporters, the more supporters he gains. (The only pundits who seem to understand what is going on are Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and Republican John LeBoutillier. All the others argue that the voters will eventually "come to their senses" and support an establishment candidate.)
But America does not need a tune-up at the same old garage. It needs a new engine installed by experts - and neither Rodham nor Bush are mechanics with the skills or experience to install it. Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage her philandering husband abandoned. Jeb Bush is not a mechanic; he merely inherited a garage. Granted, Trump is also not a mechanic, but he knows where to find the best ones to work in his garage. He won't hire his brother-in-law or someone to whom he owes a favor; he will hire someone who lives and breathes cars.
"How dare they revolt!" the "elites" are bellowing. Well, the citizens are daring to revolt, and the RINOs had better get used to it. "But Trump will hand the election to Clinton!" That is what the Karl Rove-types want people to believe, just as the leftist media eagerly shoved "Maverick" McCain down GOP throats in 2008 - knowing he would lose to Obama. But even if Trump loses and Rodham wins, she would not be dramatically different than Bush or most of his fellow candidates. They would be nothing more than caretakers, not working to restore America's greatness but merely presiding over the collapse of a massively in-debt nation. A nation can perhaps survive open borders; a nation can perhaps survive a generous welfare system. But no nation can survive both - and there is little evidence that the establishment candidates of either party understand that. The United States cannot forever continue on the path it is on. At some point it will be destroyed by its debt.
Yes, Trump speaks like a bull wandering through a china shop, but the truth is that the borders do need to be sealed; we cannot afford to feed, house, and clothe 200,000 Syrian immigrants for decades (even if we get inordinately lucky and none of them are ISIS infiltrators or Syed Farook wannabes); the world is at war with radical Islamists; all the world's glaciers are not melting; and Rosie O'Donnell is a fat pig.
Is Trump the perfect candidate? Of course not. Neither was Ronald Reagan. But unless we close our borders and restrict immigration, all the other issues are irrelevant. One terrorist blowing up a bridge or a tunnel could kill thousands. One jihadist poisoning a city's water supply could kill tens of thousands. One electromagnetic pulse attack from a single Iranian nuclear device could kill tens of millions. Faced with those possibilities, most Americans probably don't care that Trump relied on eminent domain to grab up a final quarter acre of property for a hotel, or that he boils the blood of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs running the Council on American-Islamic Relations. While Attorney General Loretta Lynch's greatest fear is someone giving a Muslim a dirty look, most Americans are more worried about being gunned down at a shopping mall by a crazed [islamic] lunatic who treats his prayer mat better than his three wives and who thinks 72 virgins are waiting for him in paradise.
The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation. They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts. While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much.
You can be certain that if an establishment candidate wins in November 2016, … [their] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we've seen before. The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Bush administrations will be back in charge. The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots. Whether it is Bush's Karl Rove or Clinton's John Podesta, who makes the decisions in the White House will matter little. If the establishment wins, America loses.!!!!

I get the whole "Trump is our middle finger to the status quo" bit; and if he's nominated and wins, I reeeeaally hope I'm wrong about the incompetent, thin-skinned, vindictive disaster I think he'll be; but I've got no indication thus far that won't be.

Even if he punches her on national TV (which I too would happily pay to see), it's not worth risking him as the nominee.

I'd rather see Thomas bend her over and do his signature move on her.. while Billdo watches..

Yep. That's pretty much why this confirmed Libertarian crossed over to vote Trump.

I have had enough of professional victims whining all the time. Suck it up, Nancys!

I got a laugh the other day when she responded to the, "have you ever lied to the American people?" question.

She's a complete abomination as a politician and a human being, as is her husband. They should be shunned instead of celebrated.

I could care less that he's thin-skinned or vindictive. Did it ever occur to you that the terrorist groups out there strike at us because they know we're not vindictive? All these idiots who are so thick skinned and politically correct have done nothing but put this nation in a heap of trouble, and I for one am done with it. I desperately want someone in the White House that has a set of balls.

And I'm not going to go over the whole competency debate again. Talk about someone who's ill-qualified: Hillary Clinton rode into politics on the coattails of her husband and several major media outlets have called her an completely ineffective Senator and one of the worst Secretaries of State ever. If you seriously believe that someone like Hillary Clinton or even Bernie Sanders (because that's who you'll get to pick from) is more competent than Trump at running a business or a country...well...I wish you luck. The fact is, you just don't like him, so any qualifications he has you're going to ignore.

I've had enough of the same old shit and the same old politicians. The United States has already lost too many lives, too much money and too much global respect for me to go down that road again.
