    Completely off topic but I like gossip and getting involved in people's business. Who were those two chics switching behind him when the press confronted him about his possible imvolvement? Does any one know who I am talking about?

    I thought that they could be:

    1. secretaries or workers (a well-intentioned thought)
    2. family members (a well-intentioned thought)

    or

    3. "secret"-aries (if you know what I mean)

    The whole set up kind of made me laugh. Does anyone know what I am talking about or do you all think I am stupid for asking about something so irrelevant?

    Ha ha ha...this is deja vu 1991

    Sandi Jackson: this is no Tammy Wynette stand by your man

    Jesse Jackson: I did not have sexual relations with that woman.


    Hahahaha...they are guilty as hell.

    JJJ it is too late for you to clean up your name that was handed down with a host of controversial issues.

    Your name is not unique like BHO...your name has political shakedownBAGGAGE!!

    You are a scion of a political family known not to be forthright and while the patriarch has done lots of wonderful things..he has also just tried to used public service for gain by any means necessary.

    And you JJJ are the apple that has not fallen too far from the tree.

    We will be more receptive to your errors in judgement in 2020...try for the Senate then.

    Rikyrah - in your labels on this long running drama do you notice that while you do use "corruption" you don't use the label "Democrats". I am not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do but I do see that when evil Republicans do the same the label is plastered all over the place.

    I have confidence that you know how to call a spade a spade. (I don't have such confidence in all of your blog author partners though)

    I like JJ, Jr.. Sure, he is a son of priviledge, but he seems like a decent guy--and his wife seems like a nice lady.

    The entire political system here in the US is corporate-controlled 'pay-for-play'--and I find it really slimy how Jackson is being focused in on without any clear smoking gun.

    This is lame, and I hope Jackson comes out alright.

    Hahaha we know what happen when Nat Turner arrived at Harper's Ferry right?
  • djchefron
    I dont get it.At Harper's Ferry in 1859 John Brown raided the armory,but Nat Turner led a revolt in Virginia in 1831.So when did Nat Turner visited Harper's Ferry which is in West Virginia. Please explain your analogy.
  • whiterosebuddy
    oops you are right...I meant Brown, got the names of the those who revolted mixed up with the sites.
