| 575b336 | Now it is customary for presidents to invite friends and donors to the White House. The Clintons, however, took this practice way beyond acceptable boundaries. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown frequently complained that he had become "a m*th*rf*ck*ng tour guide for Hillary" because foreign trade missions had become nothing more than payback trips for Clinton donors. The Clintons arranged for one fat-cat donor without any war experience to be bu.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

| 967e2e0 | Spock split his attention between Burnham and the path ahead. "I doubt either of us would be welcomed among Vulcan crews. As quick as they are to profess the wisdom of IDIC, they remain in many ways quite provincial." It pained Burnham to admit to herself that Spock was likely correct.

They, too, had given off the vibe of "evolved beings," a quality of their essential nature that had made them fascinating to him: sentient creatures who possessed the attributes of an apex predator, but also the empathy and compassion of a fellow prey animal." | David Mack | ||

| 632505c | You looked angry twenty minutes ago. With the McKinney family." "That was just a technical problem. Space and time. I didn't want to be late for dinner. I wasn't angry, really. Well, not at first. I got a bit frustrated later. You know, mentally. I mean, when there were four of them, I gave them the chance to come back in numbers. And what did they do?
