And yet.. WHO called the 2016 election perfectly?? ~ Mike

This type repetitive con works spectacularly on ignorant people who're quite content to narrowly focus while conveniently filtering out anything else that doesn't fit their worldview, and while no one else on this forum qualifies as breathtakingly clueless to buy into bullshit quite like Mike, he certainly seems to have convinced himself in his never-ending quest to fill his ever-present neediness. *laughs* It's always a bonus when a rube steps up to volunteer to prove our point. Who but a rube would continue to claim hysterically that they possess some kind of superior knowledge because they "called" a 50/50 race in 2016, meanwhile ignoring the multitude of other things wherein he's been proven time and time again by every poster on this forum to be an uneducated dipshit who's rusted shut and stuck permanently on stupid? So, Russ, pay no attention to that "Red Tsunami" or that citizenship question "guaranteed" to be on the 2020 Census, all those "winning" candidates like "Senator Roy Moore," and those multitude of other things we were promised because it's just so much easier to ignore the inconvenience of reality and be a simple-minded sucker wound tightly around Donald Trump. They don't know they're rubes.

Personally, I love it when you go over board defending Trump in these obvious moments where the rest of the world knows he was wrong, but you still swear he was right! It just shows how desperate you are for Trump to be right — when he rarely is— that you have to fight for every little scrap that you can.

A combination of pure unadulterated ignorance and hysterical nonstop sucking. They don't know they're rubes. :)

My take on sharpiegate, at the time:
NOAA was right to refuse comment on exactly what Trump had said. Their job is to forecast the weather, not to parse presidential statements. They stuck to that job. Good for them.

And,

NOAA was also right to correct the person at the Birmingham bureau who used absolute language in response to a presidential tempest-in-a-teaspoon. The folks there are professionals, who should be held to a corresponding standard. That means not involving themselves in a political dispute, and it means saying "negligible" when they mean negligible.

EXCEPT when it supports President Trump...

But that never has happened! NOAA only agreed with Trump after they were ordered to do so because the fat baby could not handle people laughing at his idiotic attempt at proving he had been correct by lying to them once again! They could satisfy the narcissistic sociopaths desire to always look like he isn’t just making random comments as if he is educated and knows what he is talking about when really he is just a bumbling idiot— and it didn’t put anyone in danger.

Funny that from the start, you are basing your entire argument on dishonest statements! You have lost all self-respect, haven’t you?

Only "dishonest" according to you and the rest of the Trump/America haters..

And yer opinions are biased by hatred and bigotry..

Another lie. JL made this point crystal clear above, so there is no need for me to repeat him.

JL pointed to a Left Wing rag.. Like your opinions, nothing but hate and bigotry from Trump/America haters..

Yes, I do take NOAA information that is released during times of potentially deadly weather events very seriously.

EXCEPT when it supports President Trump...

Your hypocrisy is well documented...

. I don’t blame de Blasio for the sick SOB who tried to kill the officers.

And yet, you DO blame President Trump with Right Wing sick SOBs kill people..

Again, your hypocrisy is well documented..

You have lost all self-respect, haven’t you? The altered map reflected the most up to date information from the NOAA.. Another lie. JL made this point crystal clear above, so there is no need for me to repeat him. Again, I point out.. Ya'all think the NOAA information is gospel.. WHEN it support your bullshit global warming agenda.. Yes, I do take NOAA information that is released during times of potentially deadly weather events very seriously. The event you are discussing is someone at NOAA being willing to help our pouty president lie...after the fact. No lives were at risk days after the hurricane had passed. I can guarantee that no one at NOAA would hesitate to correct the president again if he makes false claims that could endanger lives. Why you support a president whose ego is so fragile that he cannot admit when he screws up, which he does quite often, is beyond me?

Ooooo Russ.... NOW you have a dilemma..

NYC cops ‘declaring war’ on Mayor de Blasio, union says, following ‘assassination attempts’ on officers

No dilemma for me. Your article points out that this is just one out of the 12 unions that represent New York’s finest. The Sgt’s Union has a right to their own opinion. I don’t blame de Blasio for the sick SOB who tried to kill the officers. It’s not like de Blasio was using trigger statements — like that immigrants are “invading” our country— and those statements motivated the shooter to commit the shootings.

Do you bleed PD blue??

Or Democrat blue??

So why should we put any faith into any reports coming out from Trump’s administration that paints him in a positive light?

Because you put faith in it when it says what you want to hear..

So, yer conceding yer hypocrisy??

I accept your concession..

Michale can claim that this is all based on hatred of Trump, but It is Trump doing things like this that has led to people hating Trump — and for good reason!

So, yer saying that the fifteen year old who wears a short skirt and low cut top, that it's OK for her to be raped because she gives a good reason to be raped.

the significance of sharpie-gate is that it is the simplest example of donald and his adherents insisting that here is in fact there, now is in fact then, and this is in fact that.

It also shows us that Trump is not above “doctoring” official government reports with intentionally dishonest data to make himself look good. We may have always believed that Trump was not above doing it, but this was the first time that we saw Trump altering information that people counted on being correct to keep their families alive and safe.

So why should we put any faith into any reports coming out from Trump’s administration that paints him in a positive light? These reports are automatically suspect thanks to Trump’s own actions! Michale can claim that this is all based on hatred of Trump, but It is Trump doing things like this that has led to people hating Trump — and for good reason!

James Carville's "Intervention" For Democratic Party: Attack Trump On Issues That Matter In Real Life, Not Just On Twitter

Democratic strategist James Carville joined presidential candidate Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet on MSNBC Saturday evening to talk about the current state of the Democratic Party and how they could lose again to Donald Trump in 2020.

He made the case that the Democratic Party is "too stupid" to attack President Trump on issues that matter to people in real life and too focused on "causing trouble" about "goofy things" on Twitter.

Carville disputed the notion he says is pushed by the media that President Trump is "powerful" and "strong," saying: "The problem here is the Democratic Party. The problem is we can't seem... to talk about things that are relevant and matter in people's lives. We're out there chasing every kind of goofy thing that we can."

"To MSNBC," he said, "Manhattan is the epicenter of the Democratic Party."

"The Democratic Party I know consists largely, a lot of African Americans. It consists of a lot of suburban women. It a lot it’s a lot of Latino and Asians and people of color. It's a lot of older retirees," explained. "The Democratic Party that I read about, and I see on television, is a bunch of people on Twitter running around, causing trouble."

"The idea of a political party is to win elections. That's all it's about. If you don't do that, you have done nothing. It's not to make a point, it's not to start a revolution, it's not to win an argument. It is to win the election," he said.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/02/09/james_carville_has_an_intervention_for_democratic_party_the_idea_of_a_political_party_is_to_win_elections.html

Carville nails it..

Democrats are too worried about bullshit like "covfefe" and "sharpie gate" and ignoring REAL concerns that REAL Americans have..

You think Joe Sixpack gives a royal frak about covfefe???

You think Jane Sixpack in Kentucky gives two shitz over an altered weather map that reflects the latest up to date information??

If Democrats REALLY want to win the White House.. If they want to hold onto the House..

They need to forgo their hysterical HHPTDS and address the concerns of REAL Americans..

Not the faux Americans who blame America for every ill under the sun...

Democrats need to tell THOSE Americans to go pound sand..

But Democrats won't do that because THOSE Americans are their base..

And THAT is why Democrats are going to lose and lose BIG in Nov...

And MORE from ANOTHER Left Wing rag mainstay...

Trump’s reelection odds
Trump is an incumbent in a good economy with a bad approval rating. So what are his reelection chances?

For Democrats, there should be one big fear heading into the 2020 election: A booming economy could save Donald Trump.

The adage “it’s the economy, stupid” has condensed the conventional wisdom to four words: Voters (rightly or wrongly) hold the president accountable for America’s financial health, and their perceptions of how they and the country are doing economically will be the most important factor when they vote. Politico was already reporting last year, using economy-based predictors, that Trump actually seemed “on track for a landslide.”

Democrat rags across the spectrum are saying what I have been saying for quite a while..

President Trump's re-election is a foregone conclusion.. The ONLY variable is how big of a landslide it's going to be..

From CNN of all places...

Democrats whine while Republicans govern

The remarkable resiliency of President Donald Trump will pay dividends for his Republican Party, as it further unifies behind him in the wake of impeachment and ahead of what is sure to be a savage reelection campaign.

Trump's latest Gallup poll numbers are remarkable -- 94% approval rating among Republicans, 49% job approval overall (highest of his term so far) and a 63% approval on his handling of the economy. Trump can thank his rock-solid support among Republicans and conservative-minded independents for floating his balloon even as Democrats have tried for three years to pop it.

I've heard Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell say often that he views politics as a team sport. As frustrated Democrats ask over and over when Republicans are going to break with their President, it appears that Trump and McConnell have operationalized that "go team" philosophy to keep their base together, both in votes on Capitol Hill and at ballot boxes across the country.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/06/opinions/democrats-whine-republicans-govern-jennings/index.html

President Trump and the Republicans are actually governing.. Doing good things for this country and Americans..

Democrats are simply trying to nullify a free, fair, legal, democratic and Constitutional election..

And Democrats actually believe they will prevail at the ballot box??

Not gonna happen..

Gunman ambushes NYC police twice in 12 hours, spawns outrage

NEW YORK (AP) — A gunman was arrested after he ambushed police officers in the Bronx twice in 12 hours, authorities said, wounding two in attacks that brought outrage from officials who blamed the violence on an atmosphere of anti-police rhetoric.

Robert Williams, 45, of the Bronx, was captured after he walked into a police station in the Bronx and started shooting shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday, police said. His shots struck a lieutenant in the arm and narrowly missed other police personnel before he ran out of bullets, lay down and tossed his pistol, officials said.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Democratic leaders have edged toward the brink of open war with each other in recent days after a series of jarring setbacks that could jeopardize the party's chances against President Donald Trump, who continues to solidify his iron-fisted control over the Republican election apparatus. The infighting focuses largely on the failed caucus process in Iowa, with state and national Democratic leaders at odds over who deserves blame, as well as an increasingly bitter dispute over the rules governing who gets into future nationally televised candidate debates - a process that could allow billionaire Mike Bloomberg to make the stage later this month. In a particularly stark sign, supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., have returned to bashing the Democratic National Committee, reviving grievances from the divisive 2016 primary race. In that campaign, Sanders backers said the system had been stacked against the democratic socialist - a view later affirmed when WikiLeaks released hacked internal emails - and supporters of nominee Hillary Clinton blamed Sanders for not sufficiently rally his base on Clinton's behalf in the general election. Sanders's allies are again charging that the DNC is maneuvering to thwart his anti-establishment movement. They say the DNC's decision last week to call for a "recanvass" in Iowa threatened to undercut Sanders's ability to claim momentum from winning the popular vote there, while changing the rules to benefit Bloomberg reflects the desire among the party elite for a savior to deny Sanders the nomination. "They can shout unity all they want, but the actions show otherwise," said Nina Turner, a national co-chairman of the Sanders campaign. "Open War".... Seems that Democrats are just as mean and nasty towards each other as Republicans are accused of being, eh? :D Once again... Ya'all have wishful thinking... I have the FACTS.. :D That's why I always win.. :D

This is all great for Trump, but the fact that he is in his strongest position yet is not owing solely to Dems’ errors. His policy successes are undeniable, starting with the economy. Its continued expansion is simply remarkable and when the president says it is the envy of the world, he’s not exaggerating.

His poll numbers rose 10 points during impeachment and Gallup’s finding that he gets a whopping 63% approval on the economy confirms that more and more people are seeing and believing the jobs boom.

Gallup also found that 90% of Americans, the highest ever, report they are satisfied with their personal lives, and that a record 65% say they are “very satisfied.”

Those kind of numbers rip the heart out of the claim by Sanders and others that the economy is working only for the rich. In fact, wages are rising faster at the bottom of the income ladder than at the top.

And to judge from his gallery guests at the State of the Union, Trump is eager to make direct appeals to black and Latino Americans on pocketbook and family issues. He talks about an “inclusive” agenda and notably included Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr. in a list of American heroes. He continued that theme in a visit to a North Carolina community college.

His approval ratings among those groups already are far above the vote totals he got in 2016. Even modest increases in November could be decisive in key states.

To be sure, the election is a long way off and events, like Trump, are unpredictable. But for now he is on a roll while the other team is stuck in a hole.

There is simply no denying the reality...

President Trump is kicking ass and taking names and the Democrats are digging themselves in a hole and refuse to relinquish their shovels...

This is the reality of the here and now..

nypoet22 — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 22:28:19 +0000

the map donald used, and which some unknown individual wrote on with a sharpie (hence the meme), was on television. that is a fact. it had been generated a week prior and was already known to be inaccurate at the time he showed it. those are facts. at the time he showed the map, the hurricane had already spent the better part of a week on a different path than the map showed; that is a fact.

donald's map showed the hurricane in one place. the actual hurricane was in a different place, because days had passed, and it had gone a different direction from the path on that map. those are facts, and neither a statement from the head of the NOAA, the pope or elvis presley back from the dead changes it.

It's not about anything that dramatic. This case is about knowing the difference between here and there.

The heart of the case is that Dems dug themselves into a hole and won’t drop the shovel. They have nothing to show for their 2018 House victory except a partisan impeachment that was rejected by the public before the Senate killed it.

Equally telling, Rep. Jerry Nadler said the Judiciary Committee likely will subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton; other Dems said the many investigations into Trump and his businesses will continue.

In other words, they learned nothing from last week, or the last three years for that matter. Blinded by their personal contempt for the president and his supporters and captive to the wacko wing of the party, Pelosi’s team still acts as if there is a magic button that will persuade even the deplorables to turn on the president.

Meanwhile, Dems obviously intend to fritter away their two years of power without producing a coherent agenda that would give swing voters a reason to reelect them. A November platform of resistance, rage and failed impeachment is a narrow base appeal, not an effort to win the middle.

Democrats are trying the VERY DEFINITION of insanity..

It’s pearl-clutching Democrats who got massacred by Trump impeachment trial: Goodwin

Pearls clutched, hair on fire, heads exploding — pick your favorite image to describe the left’s latest reaction to President Trump. Once again, the end is near, he’s gone too far, this time we got him.

His outrage against all that is good and pure was to pink-slip star impeachment witnesses Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland.

“Friday Night Massacre” screamed the usual suspects, a not-very-subtle reference to Richard Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.” The difference, unmentioned, is that Trump was already acquitted, whereas the Nixon impeachment hadn’t formally started.

Still, assuming this is not the end of the world, something more important demands attention. Namely, that conventional wisdom got it right when it declared that Trump had one of the best weeks of his presidency while Democrats had one of their worst.

He beat impeachment, they screwed up the Iowa caucuses, he gave a roaring State of the Union address and Nancy Pelosi was reduced to being a paper shredder. Friday’s boffo jobs report was the icing on Trump’s cake, then he got the cherry when a federal appeals court unanimously rejected a suit by 200 Dem lawmakers over foreign payments to his businesses.

BIDEN CALLS SKEPTICAL NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTER ‘A LYING, DOG-FACED PONY SOLDIER’

The dust-up came after the voter asked whether he can rebound from Iowa

Perhaps the pressure is getting to him.

On Sunday, Joe Biden snapped at a voter in New Hampshire, calling her a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

The dust-up came after the voter asked Biden, “How do you explain the performance in Iowa and why should the voters believe that you can win a national election?"

"You ever been to a caucus?" Biden replied.

After the voter said she indeed had attended a caucus, Biden shot back: "No you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier."

"You gotta be honest,” he continued. “I’m gonna be honest with you. It was a little bit confusing in Iowa. But let’s assume it was all exactly right."

Biden told the unknown voter Iowa has a poor record picking presidential winners. The comments were first flagged by Yahoo News’ Jon Ward.

Forty-five minutes after Joe Biden’s first campaign event was supposed to start on Saturday, his crowd had grown restless. The former vice president wasn’t at the Rex Theatre in downtown Manchester and those crammed inside were wondering just how much longer they’d have to suck in the heated air before they get to see him speak.

In the rafters, a chant broke out.

“We Want Joe!” the voices said, overpowering the soundtrack of classic rock and commercial motown that had been playing on blast to keep the crowd from completely dozing off.

“This is a microcosm of the failure of this campaign. The energy is slowly dissipating from this room.”
— Adam Ross
But no one picked it up. Instead, after two renditions, the men simply stopped. And those who’d bothered to consider joining in the chorus did what they’d been doing since it became clear that the event would not start on time: they dumped their faces back into their cellphones.

“This is a microcosm of the failure of this campaign,” said Adam Ross, a Long Islander who helped start the chant. “The energy is slowly dissipating from this room.”

Biden’s campaign is running on fumes. A candidate with all the trappings of a traditional frontrunner—the long résumé, party backing, relevant experience, and steady poll numbers—suddenly is on electoral life support. A fourth-place showing in the Iowa Caucus days ago has raised the stakes for the upcoming primary. But even Biden himself seems to be grappling with the likelihood that another humiliation is on the horizon. His first answer during Friday night’s debate was devoted, in part, to explaining how he was likely to lose on Tuesday.

It's not just a microcosm of the Biden campaign, it's a microcosm of the entire Democrat Primary..

This was the worst week for Democrats since Donald Trump’s election-night shocker of 2016. Why it matters: In less than 200 hours, Democrats botched Iowa, watched Trump hit an all-time popularity high, debated ousting the DNC chair, and watched a socialist soar and an ideological civil war intensify. Axios' Margaret Talev reports from New Hampshire that amid real enthusiasm at candidate rallies, there's an underlying unease about unifying the party enough to get the kind of turnout needed to win in November. What we're hearing: There's a new fatalism in my conversations with Democrats, with many telling me that what once seemed unthinkable — Trump's re-election in November — is now starting to look more likely than ever. In a CNN segment this morning that included Friday's rosy economic statistics, a graphic asked: "IS TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION PATH WIDENING?" It's all bad news for Democrats....

calling a false statement a fact doesn't make it so, except in the ancient philosophical sense of fact being any statement that can be proven incorrect. nor does the constant repetition of logical fallacies in support of said false statement make it a true fact. you can get as many experts as you like to claim that 2 and 2 make 5, but you'll still be wrong.

f You Think It’s Bad for Mainstream Democrats Now, Just Wait

It is always darkest, John McCain used to say, before it gets totally black. So it is for the American center-left right now. Bernie Sanders is currently favored to win the nomination, a prospect that would make Donald Trump a heavy favorite to win reelection, and open the possibility of a Corbyn-esque wipeout. While Sanders has not expanded beyond a minority of the party, he has consolidated support of the party’s left wing, and while its mainstream liberal wing is split between numerous contenders, it is hard to see how the situation is likely to improve soon. Indeed, it could get worse, much worse.

By the time I got to New Hampshire, the Democratic hysteria was rising — and a faltering Joe Biden disappeared in a crisis cloud — while internecine class war was intensifying. Pete Buttigieg was pre-declaring victory, spurring Sanders supporters to dub him “Mayor Cheat” on Twitter. Bernie Sanders spoke on Friday morning, tying Buttigieg to Wall Street and urging Democrats to decide if they were on the side of the working class or greed, “where billionaires control not only our economy, but our political life.” #PetesBillionaires began trending on Twitter.

Commissioners vote for resolution to make St. Johns a 2nd Amendment sanctuary

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – Commissioners in St. Johns County have voted unanimously for a resolution declaring the area a Second Amendment sanctuary.

The vote followed a brief discussion during which only one member of the public spoke. That person was in favor of the decision.

St. Johns County joins a list of Florida counties that have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, including Bradford, Clay and Putnam counties. The resolution recognizes that the right to keep and bear arms is secured by the U.S. Constitution and the Florida Constitution, and that it allows the county not to enforce gun laws it feels are unconstitutional or violate the Second Amendment.

Would you vote for Sanders? Not unless the remaining opponents were even more likely to lose the general election. For example, if there was only one opponent left in the race by the time it reached Massachusetts, and she had a habit of doing things like saying "basket of deplorables" within range of a live mic (even if she hadn't done that particular one yet, at the time), then yes, definitely, I would vote for Sanders. There's no one in the race who sinks to that level of unelectability (thank goodness), just sniping from the sidelines (good grief, can't she shut up already?), and even if Biden were that unelectable, MA votes early enough this time that he wouldn't be the only other one left. So in the current context, the answer is no. I do not expect to vote for Bernie Sanders again.

Finally, a Dem candidate has announced that they will, in the post Trumpian era, launch a version of 'truth and reconciliation'. It will take the form of commission with no governmental oversight or affiliation to one party or another. This commission will be tasked to look into every nook and cranny of the Trump administration, the findings of which will be made public in their entirety and without the usual redactions, for all to see. The majesty of this proposal works for everyone, if nothing actionable is found, the Trumps and their gang can go about their money laundering business for Putin's cronies and all will be good...However, and I suspect this will be the most likely scenario, Trump and his enablers will have years of explaining to do and fingers to point. Obviously investigations of this type are acceptable to the GOP, considering the 'investigate the investigators' stance they have taken recently with failed investigations in the Clinton emails (again) and the investigation into the FISA courts and potential Obama spying on Trump's campaign fail. Surely no one on the right will mind if the rules of the road are equally applied? How could or would they, Trump is squeaky clean after all...Right? right. These sweeping investigations aren't being inaugurated for punitive purposes, according to their author, Liz Warren, they are primarily designed to bring a sense of reality to what she considers a nation at the crossroads of governmental abuse and governmental accountability. It's her belief that if all is laid bare it will go a long way to mending the partisan rift. If, as it's claimed, the investigation churns up messes of both parties, then it might stand a chance of being useful, that remains to be seen, but harbour no illusions, once Trump is combed out of office, along with all the attendant odious apparatus that is his 'Idiocracy', there will be sweeping investigations from why the secret service pays three times the going rate to stay at Trumps gaudy estates to how it is that Ivanka can secure patents in China when even Apple and Microsoft can't. In post WW2 Germany the British, American and French governments decided to learn the lessons of the previous war and its disastrous peace. It was agreed that the German nation as a whole would not be judged for the war, but the individuals who were in power would be called to account. It was at Nuremburg that the full scope of Nazi atrocities was displayed to the German people in their complete grotesqueness. It was only after all the German people, confronted by the despicable action of their government, saw the Nazis for what they really were that the spell of National Socialism was finally broken. It's worth a shot. LL&P

Looking at the low turnout estimate in Des Moines late Monday night, an adviser to one candidate said simply, “Wow.”

The turnout statistics are not final and were referenced only briefly, tucked into an Iowa Democratic Party statement about the reporting fiasco just as it began swirling out of control.

"What we know right now is that around 25% of precincts have reported, and early data indicates turnout is on pace for 2016,” the party’s communications director, Mandy McClure, said in a prepared statement.

If that number holds, turnout will run only to about 170,000 people, well below the 240,000 who participated in the caucuses in 2008.

“It’s an enthusiasm gap,” said Michael Ceraso, who worked for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign and was Pete Buttigieg’s New Hampshire director before leaving the campaign last year.

WOW, indeed...

DES MOINES — Iowa’s caucus-reporting meltdown was painful. But another grenade from Monday night, just beyond the line of sight, may be just as consequential.

For more than a year, Democrats have been preparing for high turnout in 2020, powered by an electorate juiced by rage against President Donald Trump. But in their first test of the year, early data suggested Tuesday that turnout was “on pace for 2016,” the Iowa Democratic Party said, far below levels many observers predicted.

In other words: Democrats were counting on Barack Obama-levels of enthusiasm. They got Hillary Clinton numbers, instead.

Not only that, but it's dead on ballz accurate as well.. If Democrats can't beat Trump on the economy, which should be a simple task, then they and most of the rest of us are doomed. Awwww, you were doing so well.. Did you know that 90% of Americans are happy or very happy with their lives in the here and now.. In no small part to President Trump's economy...

However, this won't be as big a deal once other states start voting -- and proving that what happened in Iowa is the exception and not the rule. Unless, of course, the future voting DOES prove Iowa is the exception.. Given the propensity of Democrats to frak up an iron football, it's entirely plausible that future voting proves that Iowa IS the rule..

Republicans everywhere reacted with unrestrained glee. As they had every right to (if the shoe were on the other foot, Democrats would have been equally justified in such gleeful scorn).

And a peek of the old Weigantia seeps thru!!! :D

Another mighty big concession..

I am impressed... Kudos to you.. Let's hope you can expand upon this..

There's nothing like one snafu giving the entire party a black eye, a

Wait!!?? So, NOW you are saying that the entire Democrat Party has a black eye???

Could you expand upon this??

CW, We had a State Of The Union speech on Tuesday (hopefully, Trump's last one). Hope all ya want.. We all know how this ends, even if some of ya'all can't admit it.. :D e. He let everyone know he's got an enemies list and he's now totally unrestrained. Yep, exactly.. This outcome could have been predicted.. Hell, this outcome WAS predicted.. But Democrats and Trump/America haters were too stoopid to realize it or to filled with hate and bigotry to care... Which is it?? We weren't impressed by it, Of course ya'all weren't.. Another outcome that was predicted... But people who DON'T hate on President Trump said it was a great speech.. Some of them were even Democrats.. Nancy Pelosi, at the end of the speech, absolutely stole the show by ripping up her copy of Trump's speech, right behind him, which was absolutely priceless. Republicans feigned a fit of the vapors (all the fainting couches in Washington got a workout) as a result, but they simply have no leg to stand on when it comes to demanding "decorum" from Democrats, at this point. To any Republicans attempting to do so, I have two words for them which were yelled at a previous State Of The Union from the GOP peanut gallery: "You lie!" And, remember how ya'all reacted to that??? I believe a "fit of vapors" would accurately describe ya'all's reactions.. So, with a Democrat, it's "priceless".. When it's a Republican, it's a fit of vapors.. Do you not even SEE the blatant hypocrisy and bigotry??? False pearl-clutching aside, however, there was one significant moment the day after the speech, when Republican Senator Mitt Romney became the only senator in all of American history to vote to remove a president of his own party from office. Which means ya'all cannot say that Republicans march in lockstep. :D Kinda burn yer butt, eh?? :D It's obvious that Romney's treachery was solely based on his ego and not on the facts at hand.. Or, in this case, LACK of facts on hand... As such, it says more about Romney then it does about anyone else.. We will probably hold our nose and vote for him in the general election, should he become the Democratic nominee, but then again that's true of every single other Democrat running. Really!!??? "Probably".... So, what yer saying is that there is a chance you will remain home and not vote?? Hmmmmmm That is a mighty large concession.. All thru the entire commentary and not a single disparaging words for the Democrat Party.. Pure as the driven snow, indeed.. :smirk: :D

FPC Russ, So doing your job properly and telling the truth makes you a “traitor” in Trump’s White House, is that it? Vindmen DIDN'T "tell the truth".. He supplanted his own "wisdom" for that of his commanding officer.. He broke his oaths of confidentiality and went outside the chain of command, simply because he did not like his commander.. He is a traitor.. Anyone who dares speak any words that do not please the Trump, that disagrees with Trump on any matter — that person deserves to be tarred and feathered and run out of the party! It's a military thing. You couldn't POSSIBLY understand, never having served... Trump knows better than any of you! Trump cannot be wrong; so no matter how many times he contradicts himself, he’s always right! In the context of the United States Military, that's exactly factually accurate..

- This is what Democrats are for.
- This is what Republicans are against.
- Democrats want to fix problems, not make them worse.
- The Senate hasn't done anything since Republicans took control.
- Main Street is more important than Wall Street.

Excellent. Thanks for that. Here's hoping.

Can I add something that's been on my mind about the Dems vs. the Repubs, about immigrants, both legal and illegal. They come from Syria, Afghanistan, Ireland, El Salvador, China, India, Nigeria, and about a hundred other countries. They WANT TO BE AMERICANS.They're going to give up their languages, their histories, their homeland places, their ancestries - TO BE HERE. Just like our ancestors did. THEY WANT TO BE AMERICANS.
Why are the Republicans scared of them? Why deport them, drive them away, forbid them, ban them, scare them, demonize them? THEY WANT TO BE AMERICANS. THEY ARE US.
Without sweating the dirty details and the vetting and the visas and the checks and the fines and the waiting periods, our principle ought to be, as they always should have been: WELCOME, AMERICANS.
The Dems get this, on a very basic level. The Repubs do not.

Democrats going back to Reagan have had some version of this to say to voters. I congratulate Gov. Whitmer for this simple, powerful summary of voter's choice in November.
