You give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders." (Larry King Live, May 11, 2009)

Remember something, if you will, about voting: Voting is not a horse race, you're not going there thinking "Gee, I gotta pick the winner so I can brag to my friends 'Oh, I picked so-and-so and he or she won'". Voting is voting your heart and voting your conscience and when you've done that, don't ever, EVER let a Democrat or Republican tell you that you've wasted your vote because the fact is, if you DON'T vote your heart and conscience then you HAVE wasted your vote.
Jesse Ventura
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live.
Jesse Ventura
I have an idea about voting, how about on every ballot we include "None of the above". People may laugh at that, but what that is, it is a vote of no confidence in your government and I'm willing to bet that in some elections, 'None of the Above' would win. Imagine if you won the election but lost to 'None of the Above'. Wouldn't that make you re-think your positions?
Jesse Ventura
If you're patriotic, stand up for the Bill of Rights because once they strip your rights from you, you will pay hell to get them back. You will and we're in the process of it right now.
Jesse Ventura
It's convenient how everyone who supports waterboarding and torture, or "enhanced interrogation techniques" as they like to call it, have never experienced it themselves. Yet everyone who has, myself included, are firmly against it.
Jesse Ventura
Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland. They can't push away from the table.
Jesse Ventura
In a free society, how can you commit a crime against yourself?
Jesse Ventura
There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.
Jesse Ventura
I speak my mind. If it offends some people, well, there's not much I can do about that. But I'm going to be honest. I'm going to continue to speak my mind, and that's who I am...
Jesse Ventura
Why should I have to hide the fact that I don't believe there’s a supreme being? There’s no proof of it. There’s no harm in saying you’re an atheist. It doesn't mean you treat people any differently. I live by the Golden Rule to do unto others, as you'd want to be treated. I just simply don't believe in religion, and I don’t believe necessarily that there’s a supreme being that watches over all of us. I follow the teachings of George Carlin. George said he worshipped the sun. He was a fellow atheist. I’m in good company … Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Charles Darwin. It’s not like I’m not with good company and intelligent people. There have been some good, intelligent atheists who have lived in the world.
Jesse Ventura
We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it's not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We're not free — if we were, we'd allow people their freedom. Prohibiting something doesn't make it go away. Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it's run illegally by dirt-bags who are criminals. If it's legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be far better.
Jesse Ventura
George Bush keeps saying that terrorists keep attacking us because we have freedom here in America. So what, the solution is to take away our freedoms and they won't attack us?
Jesse Ventura
Enhanced Interrogation is Dick Cheney changing a word, Dick Cheney comes up with a new word to cover his ass!
Jesse Ventura
It's a good thing I'm not the president, because I would prosecute everybody who was involved in that torture, I would prosecute the people who did it, I would prosecute the people who ordered it and they would all go to jail! Because Torture is against the law!
Jesse Ventura
Go to the internet and go to the FBI website and go to their international list of top ten terrorists. You will see Bin Laden there, bring his name up and his picture. Amazingly, all the charges: the embassy of '98 and this other stuff is all listed. But, ironically nothing on 9/11. NOTHING! Now when the FBI was pressed as to why 9/11 wasn't included, their response was "We don't have enough evidence." Now, people, if you're like me that is extremely disturbing; we've fought two wars, we've changed our entire foreign policy and we've had the PATRIOT act put on us, all, supposedly, because of Osama Bin Laden!
Jesse Ventura
If Waterboarding is okay, then why don't we let our police do it to criminals so they can find out what they know? Because it's against the law. If we're not going to be a country that stand's for the rule of law, when it's convenient or inconvenient, then what DO we stand for.
Jesse Ventura
You’re Chris Kyle?” said the man. “Uh, yeah?” answered Chris. The man handed Chris a piece of paper. “You’ve been served,” he intoned in an overly dramatic voice. Jesse Ventura had decided to sue Chris, claiming he had been defamed by his statements. According to Jesse, the incident never happened. One of the unique aspects of the lawsuit was that it charged Chris with “unjust enrichment.” In layman’s terms, as I understood it, this meant that Jesse claimed people bought the book because he talked about decking him. So all that information about Chris’s childhood, his days as a cowboy, his time in Iraq, his medals, the people he saved, the people he couldn’t save, his difficulty transitioning home, all the things I said in the book about raising the kids, how hard it was to get on without him…all of those things weren’t the reason people bought the book? They were interested in the four hundred or so words tucked toward the back about a fight that didn’t even name the principal-details that anyone could find for free on the Internet? Awesome. Chris wasn’t worried about the lawsuit. He believed what he said and had witnesses who remembered the incident as he did. It was an issue that would smolder for more than two years, and cause a great deal of pain.
Taya Kyle (American Wife: Love, War, Faith, and Renewal)
Nick allungò una gamba e con le dita del piede ne afferrò uno. Dopo averlo buttato sul pavimento, appoggiò il piede sulla coscia di Luka e lo fece strisciare verso parti che stavano sviluppando un interesse incredibile. Per un istante, il nutrizionista sentì un brivido nella pancia, ma poi intimò a se stesso di piantarla. Allontanò da sé il piede e si mise a sedere dritto. «Okay, signor Ventura, ho una domanda per lei.» Nick fece un ghigno. «Sì, il mio piede era proprio sul tuo pacco.» Luka rise. «Non era quella la mia domanda. Voglio dire, tuo fratello è dichiarato apertamente, mentre sulle riviste, beh, tu sembri decimo dan di cintura nera nel correre dietro alle gonnelle. So che flirtavi con me quando eri in clinica, però non sei etero?» «Se fossi assolutamente etero, avrei anche potuto flirtare, ma avrei fatto quel che ho appena fatto?» «Puoi semplicemente rispondere sì o no?» Nick sospirò. «Sono bi, credo» «Allora ti piacciono veramente i ragazzi? Non fa solo parte del tuo personaggio?» «Sì, certo, perché no?» Nick alzò le spalle indifferente, e la cosa sorprese Luka. «Non capisco il senso di essere in un modo o nell’altro, a meno che tu non lo sia davvero davvero. Ci si perde tutto il divertimento.» «Come mai tutte quelle battute sui gay, allora?» «Non so. Penso di prendermi gioco di tutto.» Vero. «Assomigli a tuo fratello più di quanto pensassi.» «Non sono come Shane.» La reazione di Nick fu immediata. Un’altra sorpresa, dopo che aveva risposto con aria indifferente alle altre domande. «Perché è gay?» «No. Perché è lo zerbino di Jesse! È fottutamente imbarazzante.» Nick si accigliò. «Le relazioni non sono poi così male, sai? Dovresti provarci, prima o poi.» Luka lo toccò leggermente con il piede avvolto dal calzino. Nick si alzò in piedi. «E allora perché tu non ne hai una?» Si tolse la coperta di dosso, gettandola sul costoso ma freddo divano in pelle. «Sono stanco.» «Vuoi che dorma qui? O c’è una stanza per gli ospiti?» I suoi occhi, sprezzanti e contrariati, si spalancarono. Provò a nasconderlo, ma aveva chiaramente paura a rimanere da solo. Luka non sapeva se dovesse dirlo esplicitamente o lasciar perdere, ma poi Nick rispose a quella sua domanda

2000, Trump was seeking the Reform Party nomination, a movement which that year was spearheaded by retired professional wrestler Jesse Ventura. The Reform Party originated in the mid-90s as a vehicle for then-candidate Ross Perot to run for President in 1996 and it seemed the perfect vehicle for the politically ambitious, but independently minded, Donald J. Trump just four years later.

Nu subapreciez sinuciderile atunci când le numesc slăbiciuni, subliniez că oricine se gândeşte să facă un astfel de lucru are nevoie de ajutor. Nu cred că o persoană normală, sănătoasă mental, poate să se sinucidă.

Until we come clean about our recent history, there's no way to move forward and return to the representative democracy that our forefathers intended America to be.
