I think that the whole bush clan is pissed that Jeb didn’t get the nod for president, and that is why they are so against Trump. They had it all worked out, first family with 3 members who became president. Then along came Trump to screw up their presidental domination dream, so they are pissed off and therefore they are lashing out at Trump and everything that he does.
Too bad that George hw Bush is now getting in trouble as a Fannie patter, shocked I am, shocked!

I disagree.

If Lindsey Graham or John Kasich, or any other establishment Republican got the nomination, the Bushes would have supported them, no question. The Bushes endorsed McCain, even though they didn't like him, because he was part of the Establishment.

The reason they despise Trump is the same reason as other RINOs; Trump is a total outsider of DC politics, and refuses to play ball with the swamp. The whole power structure has changed, making a lot of pockets lighter, especially globalists like The Clintons and the Bushes. Add the fact that the Clintons and Bushes are more than best friends, a man like Trump coming along to ruin their party does not sit well with them.

Jeb felt entitled in exactly the same way that Hillary felt entitled. When that "entitlement" becomes not just an expectation but a reality, that is the end of freedom.

It's not that "low energy" Jeb lost > it is how Trump took him out.
It's simply just being thin skinned.

This last election cycle and it's many related revelations and revealed truths have shown that, without a doubt, what folks have commonly thought of the GOP and the many so-called Republicans who were either hired or elected to represent it and us was in fact mistaken, grossly misunderstood, and largely a sham of legendary proportions, a mere facade containing little more than vague hints of conservatism, with an army of key figures who have paid little more than lip service to the actual concerns of a great many Americans, and were instead primarily concerned with spreading globalist ideals and otherwise destroying or weakening key aspects of the American Ideal to line their own pockets, to the tune of billions upon billions of back door deals, bad laws and treaties, an ever increasing scope of the federal government, a weakening of States and Individual rights, and a model more in line with Oligarchical and other Monarchy like institutions where the privileged few reap the greatest benefits while everyone else serves them.

And precisely because the GOP and it's Establishment / Globalist loving miscreants do in fact occasionally do something right or occasionally unite for at least a little slice of The Greater Good, is why many still behave like its all OK, like the GOP as it stands actually gives a shit about you and I, all the while helping foster the incessant Us vs Them (largely false) narrative of Democrats vs Republicans, while most go about the daily business of their lives never stopping to realize how much misdirection and bullshit there is, from all sides, including the GOP.

The real enemy is this ruling class, uniparty, globalist, oligarchy loving, group of assholes, which includes most in Congress, all Presidents for years now, most lobbyists, most unions, most professional politicians of all stripes, and most who make their lives as cogs in the wheels of government, from Rence Pribus to Paul Ryan to Mueller to Comey to Hillary to W to Soros to the kids in charge of FOX News now and a plethora of others.

Most of what goes on, most of the new stories, most of the (false) dichotomies are bullshit distractions, exaggerated and emphasized to keep the masses busy, confused, and docile. Topics like who marries whom or the wacky tobaccy or abortion are incredibly effective distractions, while the real crooks giggle all the way to the bank, golf course, and etc.

Donald Trump is an important and imperfect single step in a 1000mi journey. The swamp, such as it is, has barely been identified, much less drained to any meaningful degree. Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll see significant changes in our lifetime.

In view of the tragic mass killing events that occurred recently—including today—I urge every gun owner who voted for anyone other than Donald J. Trump, or who didn’t vote at all, to think about what efforts to limit or eliminate our rights we would be faced with if he hadn’t been elected President.

(I don’t want to inject this topic into those other threads.)

Left-wing CNN was caught using fake video Monday morning to mock President Trump for following the lead of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with the emptying of a box of fish food into a koi pond.

The only thing is that, in order to make Trump look like a rube, the Trump-hating network left out the part about following the Japanese prime minister’s lead.

In its second piece of very fake news launched against Trump Monday morning CNN’s snarky and dishonest headline reads, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.”

CNN lies through omission by deliberately publishing only part of Trump’s statement during a meeting with Japanese automakers on Monday:

“Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so,” is the only part of what Trump said that CNN bothers to quote.

But in order to mock the president, the fake news factory that is CNN misleads its readers by not quoting Trump in full, a quote which very clearly shows the president is not only fully aware of that fact that Japanese automakers make cars in America, but that he is grateful to them for doing so:

"And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so. (Laughter.) If you could build them. But I must say, Toyota and Mazda — where are you? Are you here, anybody? Toyota? Mazda? I thought so. Oh, I thought that was you. That’s big stuff. Congratulations. Come on, let me shake your hand. (Applause.) They’re going to invest $1.6 billion in building a new manufacturing plant, which will create as many as 4,000 new jobs in the United States. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. (Applause.)"

Hours later, after being shamed on social media, CNN updated the piece to include Trump’s full quote but, as if to once again prove the truth means nothing to them, the utterly dishonest headline remained the same .

I seriously don't know why Acosta (or anyone from CNN actually) still has a press pass. They aren't journalists, they are fiction novelists.

This woman was caught on camera flipping off the Presidential motorcade as it passed her, the photo going viral last week, even posting it on her social media-



Now it is reported that she was fired from her job:

"At the time, Briskman was working for Akima LLC, a Virginia-based company that holds several government contracts, doing marketing and communications work. As the photo went viral with users calling her a “heroine,” Briskman’s bosses called her into a meeting Tuesday and gave her the bad news."

^^^^^ It was probably impolitic of her to post that photo where she could be identified, given that her employer was involved with government contracts.

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe politics and our elected officials are more like professional wrestling. I've not been into pro wrestling since the mid-50's when Gorgeous George and Duke somebody Asian, and other characters fought it out Friday nights on local TV, "live from the wrestlethon!" A couple of times, a wrestling ring would be set up out at the county fairgrounds, and all the males in the county, it seemed like, would troop on out there for an evening of good old "combat."

Two sides, "good" and "evil." Highly choreographed moves, designed for maximum drama, action, effect, but essentially without substance. Lots of public fantasy, hypocrisy, phony "battles," not much actual combat.

The characters are carefully selected. Training, undercards, until a "character" gets to the main draw. It occurs to me that these guys were showmen, probably buddies. To make it to the show, you had to prove yourself, learn the moves, the lines, be initiated, earn your stripes, so to speak. Once accepted, you were honor bound to act a certain way, refrain from all bean spilling, participate in "the show" in and out of the ring. Bean spilling, bad acting was very bad and you could be barred from the glory, the glamor, the money, the club!

And they're entertainers not wrestlers like our elected officials are showmen not legislators.

He's out of office, but definitely not "gone" or "forgotten"; just wait--we'll still be hearing from him (unfortunately).

Happy first anniversary everyone!

Good. I'm glad the business she used to be employed at had the courage to fire her. In this day and age, that's heroism.

Her disrespect making her a heroine - not so much. The Left/Liberals/Progs/GDCs really have that "hero" thing upside down.
