The $100MILLION wedding! India's richest man decorates his 27-STOREY home for his daughter's nuptials after days of lavish five-star welcome events and a private Beyoncé concert (as fans joke they will need to resurrect John Lennon to outdo her)
That's our girl Hillary, right where she belongs. A real lady of the people.

Shrug, it's their money to waste or blow or spend on things many of us see no value in. It isn't their responsibility to provide $100,000,000 in food relief to anyone. It would be nice if they did, but that is what their government is supposed to do.

The topic is about some rich Indian dpending lots of money on a wedding, and it might be immoral but it's not illegal, it's up to the Indian Government to make tax laws and to direct money to relieving poverty rather than spend money on space programs, statues and missiles.

In terms of the Clintons, I totally agree, it's disgusting that anyone would want to attend such a repugnant waste of money in a country where many people live in terrible poverty.

Then again I don't like politicians very much full stop, and I am criticial of politicians across the political spectrum.

As for wife of inmate number is 79112-054 (Weiner), nothing surprises me anymore.

If Beyoncé is only “marginally talented,” what’s your example of a modern day female vocalist who’s more talented than she is?

I just have to laugh at your disgust at Beyoncé living too well and having too good of a time for your taste. You’d of course be a lot happier if she and her children were on welfare and living in some housing project. Lol

He's just mad that Beyonce isn't spending "HER" on him. Instead he supports a person who claims they are 10X richer than anyone who chooses to spend our tax dollars on crap.

We live in a twisted world.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of the left, now means it is a wet dream for the right to be for it.

Huma could do so much better. At least her last partner was just a pervert.
