At the risk of addressing something from a few pages back...

The way I see it is no one else coulda beat Hillary, the fact they couldn't beat Trump is all the "proof" needed.

You can't claim you would of won the World Series if you can't get past the divisional playoffs and you can't win a race you aren't in.

Trump is the only one who could beat her because he is the only one who ran against her (aside from the minor party candidates...).


It really is that simple, anything else is a speculative and academic argument of no consequence.






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Kasich is a bitch.

He won 1 state in the primary. 1. Single. State.

His own state.

13% of the overall primary popular vote.

He is the type of old white guy people would have either (1) justified voting for HRC for or (2) not gotten off their asses to vote for.

He lacks the courage and resolve to get it done when faced with true adversity.

HRC would have dropped a bomb on him before a debate and he would have crumpled like the bitch he is.

Trump has had a successful presidency already. He beat HRC and got Gorsuch on the SCOTUS.

Everything else is gravy, but I'm sure he'll give us a big boat of gravy every thanksgiving for years to come.

Who cares? Who fucking cares?

Who turned turned this conversation towards Kasich? I don't want to hear another Goddamned word about Kasich, or speculation about who would have won what, where and when.

Donald Trump is President. For those of you like showpro who just can't get past it, tough shit.

Reality, gentlemen. Let's deal with reality.

Any questions?

I heard on the radio today that Palistenian terrorists who kill themselves in attacks have their families compensated by the state. How the fuck does that happen? I know Trump wants to broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestine but I don't think Palestine should even exist as a state. It should be one big smoldering hole in the ground. I don't think peace is possible with a people and government that rewards terrorism.

If you guys EVER expect CNN to move away from the sensational tabloid bullshit conspiracy stories you will be disappointed. My recommendation is to just ban CNN completely from your life.

Agreed, but he has to be seen as "trying peace".

Watching Trump's biggly arrivals and departures on his trip, I can't help thinking about how Obama was treated when he went to China. No one there to greet him, didn't even have a roll-up stair for the main door; he had to exit by the tail. What a difference of respect/disrespect.

It's really hard to cut anything when all Washington wants to do is spend....

President Donald Trump Seeks $3.6 Trillion Cut in Federal Gov't, Faces Fierce Resistance from Uniparty

-- Budget plans faces rejection by lawmakers from both parties
-- Cuts would carve through range of federal safety-net programs

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has already said he expects the Republican-led Congress to largely ignore the proposal, saying in an interview last week with Bloomberg News that early versions reflected priorities that "aren’t necessarily ours."

https://www.bloomberg.com/poli...o-reshape-government



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Of course the repubs will fight this (along with all the dems). Money is power to the career politicians. Money they can get spent in their districts equates to votes/support for re-election campaigns. They are placing their own personal interests above those of the country. This is representative of the problem President Trump faces. He wants to drain the swamp, but all the dirtbags have vested interests in keeping the status quo. . .

They put their constituents needs and desires first, too. Every dime of government spending goes to someone who is vitally concerned with keeping that going. Every day, they are bombarded with wants, demands, proposals to spend, or spend more. Your worth as an elected official can be readily measured by how effective you are at arranging to meet those needs, desires, wants, with as little disappointment as possible. To do that, you must deal with 434 others whose interests are similar. "I'll support your new courthouse if you vote for my bridge."

It used to be that every dime of spending was approved by a majority vote of Congress. In this era of continuing resolutions, I'm not sure that is actually true.

Moreover, in the last 50 years, there has evolved the concept of entitlements, which must be spent no matter what, in whatever amount it takes, whether you want to or not. Interest on the debt is in the same category.

So, in many ways, it is worse than you think.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

Some years ago when our then-sheriff was being recalled, a political reality became obvious to me: People claim to detest politicians—right up to the moment that they stop acting like politicians, and then they hate that.

Term limits would go a long way in eliminating this problem.

And those who say "just vote the bums out" don't understand the problem.

The problem is, that word doesn't mean to us what it means to them. Their 'constituents' are the lobbyists and influence peddlers that can keep their bank accounts topped off for re-election.
