They will reject your application outright, for more than just you nominating someone who was mean to their hero Barack Oabama. Most of us will not meet the criteria for acceptance of nomination, but you can make a point to these ASSHOLES. You can certainly make a point. On the application, you can write "Nominate President Donald J. Trump" in all fields on the form.

Nominations will be accepted through January 31st.

The criteria list was fascinating. Especially the limitations pertaining to university professors and certain judges. It explains why the former president received his nomination.

With that in mind, don't we have a couple of university professors on the board? I don't know their background but they might qualify...

I was too busy playing in the woods or being amazed at the Sears catalog lingerie section at 11 to care about such things. Not much has changed.

Da fuq is an 11 year old doing running around Washington at night?!?

I guess I have to get used to all the "nazi" and "fascist" comments--they're everywhere. People not clear on the concept.

I agree with most of what he is doing, but the torture thing....I can't get my heart into that. I mean beyond water boarding.

Then, don't waterboard anyone.

I don't usually watch Hannity but will tonight

Sean Hannity will sit down with President Trump for a full hour in an exclusive interview set to air Thursday night on Fox News Channel.

Hannity, whose show is the top-rated cable news program in its 10 p.m. time slot, will question the president about his first week in office, plans for the first 100 days of his term, his choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia and Trump's sometimes rocky relationship with the media.

There will never be a full acceptance by those who must bend to President Trump's leadership. Some won't like it because of their egos. Some will not like the policies. Some will not like his/her own perceived loss of political power. And, some will not like it because of prejudice no matter how much Trump's leadership may benefit them and others.

Start with Mexico's President. What the hell is he talking about...turning 50 Mexican consulates into centers to give legal advice to "immigrants"?

https://www.aol.com/article/ne...ect-immigr/21663288/

People not legally here are gonna' make those consulates crowded. I guess the Mexican government is committed to illegal activity by its citizens in another country - ours. After spending our tax dollars for those here illegally the course is finding its limit.

BTW, I know many people who are not here legally and they are some very fine people by nature and thankful to be here - but they are not here legally. Heck, the best man at my wedding 40 years ago was Mexican but he was here legally and saw illegal aliens as, well, lawless.

That Mexico would pursue an approach that says it will use our law to perpetuate lawless activity shows that President Trump must act and how skewed Mexico's views have become. It is as if our laws don't matter now except to interfere with our sovereignty.

Mexico complaining about a wall when it uses walls and harsh laws to protect its own southern border shows more than a little hypocrisy. And, sanctuary cities seems like a misnomer to me. When we give federal tax money to subsidize lawless activity, how is that money something to which such cities are entitled?

I did not remember it from Centennial, but I did associate it with Chivington.

2000Z-71, yes, that's the correct answer. My question was intended for members without a CUT.

Can I get a name change instead? Something more appropriate than a truck I owned over 10 years ago when I first got involved in on-line forums?

"full gay life"? So, he wakes up every morning in a musical, or what?

OMFG that is funny!!

My little bro, is living the "full gay life"....hence we don't talk. Not the gay part (I could care less) but the everliving raging libtardness he exudes with every pore in his body. His FB page still has the "hands up don't shoot" fake story as a background...you can't talk truth to him.

President of Mexico (Peña Nieto) threatened to cancel his meeting w Trump because of the directive to build the wall.

The 50 Mexican consulates in the U.S. will be advocating on behalf of Mexicans, Nieto explained. He added (again) that he does not intend to pay for Trump's border wall.

"Mexico offers and demands respect as the fully sovereign nation we are," he insisted.

Trump response:

The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.
