This thread is AWESOME!! Thank you all.

HAHAHA. You Won’t Believe Who Donald Trump Appointed To Lead His EPA Transition Team

I think I just wet myself. Seriously.

Donald Trump has selected one of the best-known climate skeptics to lead his U.S. EPA transition team, according to two sources close to the campaign.

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump’s transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

Ebell is a well-known and polarizing figure in the energy and environment realm. His participation in the EPA transition signals that the Trump team is looking to drastically reshape the climate policies the agency has pursued under the Obama administration. Ebell’s role is likely to infuriate environmentalists and Democrats but buoy critics of Obama’s climate rules.

Ebell, who was dubbed an “elegant nerd” and a “policy wonk” by Vanity Fair, is known for his prolific writings that question what he calls climate change “alarmism.” He appears frequently in the media and before Congress. He’s also chairman of the Cooler Heads Coalition, a group of nonprofits that “question global warming alarmism and oppose energy-rationing policies.”

Ebell appears to relish criticism from the left.

In a biography submitted when he testified before Congress, he listed among his recognitions that he had been featured in a Greenpeace “Field Guide to Climate Criminals,” dubbed a “misleader” on global warming by Rolling Stone and was the subject of a motion to censure in the British House of Commons after Ebell criticized the United Kingdom’s chief scientific adviser for his views on global warming.

More recently, Ebell has called the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan for greenhouse gases illegal and said that Obama joining the Paris climate treaty “is clearly an unconstitutional usurpation of the Senate’s authority.”

found this about the moment when CNN Blitzer got the word

Video doesn't play for me. I'm wondering if CNN or someone else is doing the clean up operation

http://dailycaller.com/2016/11...eded-to-trump-video/

Wolf Blitzer had a little trouble digesting Donald Trump’s Tuesday victory in the 2016 presidential election.

“If Hillary Clinton has conceded, that is dramatic,” Blitzer told fellow CNN hosts John King and Dana Bash. “That is a dramatic development, Dana, and to hear the words president elect, we haven’t yet projected that — but you’re saying Clinton made a formal call to Donald Trump to concede?”

“That’s correct,” Bash responded. “I’m talking to a source who was there for it and telling me that that conversation did happen. Hillary Clinton has made it very clear to her opponent that she believes that he will be the next president of the united states and not her.”

“And you’re also hearing she is still not going to speak tonight?” Blitzer added as a follow-up. “Donald Trump momentarily, we assume will be addressing that very enthusiastic crowd there, but she won’t.”

So, maybe wrong thread but do you think SBRs will be no longer be NFA?

Myron Ebell sounds like my kind of climate guy.

They have bigger fish to fry at the start but I don't see why this couldn't be on the list. I would like to see them do away with GCA '86, '68, and the NFA...did I miss one or two?

We still like the Hitler spoof videos right?

CNN just announced that they will be interviewing Dan Rather to see what he thinks about the election. I have just one question for CNN - who cares?

Deplorables Regrouping For The Next Attack

By Francis Marion

It’s Nov 10th and it’s time to face the music.

For those of you on the left I know it is hard. You are confused, bewildered and deeply, deeply saddened. Maybe even triggered. You probably missed work or school yesterday, called in sick or simply didn’t get out of bed. That’s ok though because your Indigenous Women’s Studies prof said it was ok to skip the exam today. Everyone is getting an A as a morale builder. So cheer up.

But unfortunately that doesn’t really explain anything. How did this happen? It wasn’t supposed to happen. But it did. How could the polls be so wrong? What about the entire media? How?

Well, here are a few theories that might help you see where some of your mistakes were made. First, and probably foremost, is just good old fashioned hubris. The idea that “we can’t be beat”. Arrogance mixed with confirmation bias is a dangerous thing in any type of conflict; physical or otherwise. Just ask General Custer. Things didn’t work out real well for him and for the same reasons.

This leads directly into another problem that often arises from hubris. That is: failing to understand your enemy.

It would interest you to know that I, the author of this piece, am not an American. That’s right. I’m not a Yank. I don’t reside in the USA and have no interest in doing so. That means, unlike my illegal immigrant counterparts currently residing in your nation, I didn’t vote.

But like many who fall into the ‘basket of deplorables’ residing in the US I realized early on that the battle between Trump and Clinton was much more than simply a contest between two politicians for the presidency. At its core it was an ideological conflict between light and dark, truth and lies. It was a struggle for the heart of western civilization in general.

And while I’ve never considered myself much of a right winger, being more of a libertarian bent, I have found myself increasingly pushed and marginalized by the “enlightened and progressive” amongst you into the same camp with all sorts of deplorables, regardless of where they lived and what they called themselves. Nationalists, alt righters, anarchists, constitutionalists and so on and so forth all made for strange bedfellows but an effective team. Working on the premise that the enemy of my enemy is my friend we have all found common ground. We have you to thank for that. By pushing, badgering, harassing, marginalizing and insulting us on a regular basis you created something new. And it crushed you at the ballot box.

There were other factors as well. The pesky internet for example. It allowed those of us who could not vote to contribute in other ways. Through memes, leaks and general trolling we cheered and supported our freedom loving brothers and sisters in your country and encouraged them to have heart and stay the course. Of course, our part was small, minisucle really, compared to what our American brothers and sisters had to endure, but you get the picture.

Elections, especially ones mired in icky things like ideology and principle, now cross national boundaries. It sucks I know, but a lack of imagination on your part does not equal or represent a foul on ours. We did nothing illegal or immoral. We simply beat you because, well, we’re smarter than you are.

But not to worry. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to learn from your mistakes. You see, the battle that took place in your polling stations on the 8th of November was just that. A battle. We, the freedom loving peoples of the western world, well, we’re just getting warmed up. To quote the man: “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet“.

So retreat to your safe spaces, grab your adult colouring books and put on a happy face my special snow flakes because regardless of whoever/whatever you are and regardless of what nation it is you reside in, we, the deplorables, are coming for you.

Agree! And whoever started this thread deserves a special CUT and special privileges and, oh wait. Never mind

Seriously, fantastic thread. I've learned a lot.

Trump Releases His Plan for 2nd Amendment ... Leaves Millions Furious

One common criticism of billionaire businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump is that he far too often speaks in vague generalities and rarely offers specifics about where he stands on the issues.

That is no longer the case, at least regarding his stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment, as Trump just released his official policy position on his campaign website.

“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period,” the position paper began.

Trump went on to explain that the right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.

He also rightly denoted the Second Amendment as “America’s first freedom,” pointing out that it helps protect all of the other rights we hold dear.

In order to protect and defend that right, Trump proposed tougher enforcement of laws that are already on the books, rather than adding new gun control laws.

Citing a successful program in Richmond, Virginia, that sentenced gun criminals to mandatory minimum five-year sentences in federal prison, Trump noted that crime rates will fall dramatically when criminals are taken off the streets for lengthy periods of time.

Trump also proposed strengthening and expanding laws allowing law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves from criminals using their own guns, without fear of repercussion from the government.

Noting that many of the recent high-profile shooters had clear mental problems that should have been addressed, Trump proposed fixing our nation’s broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and others.

Trump would do away with pointless and ineffective gun and magazine bans and suggested fixing the current background check system already in place, rather than expanding a broken system.

Furthermore, Trump proposed a national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state, exactly as drivers licenses from anywhere are accepted by all states today.

Finally, Trump would lift the prohibition on military members carrying weapons on military bases and in recruiting centers, allowing trained military members to carry weapons to protect themselves from attacks by terrorists, criminals and the mentally unstable, as we have seen recently.

This is great, and those who cherish our right to keep and bear arms should be pleased by Trump’s stated position on the Second Amendment.

Of course, liberal anti-gunners will hate this, but their opinion on the matter is of little concern to us “people of the gun,” of which Donald Trump is apparently one.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to help spread Donald Trump’s official policy position on the Second Amendment and our right to keep and bear arms.

Trump calls slain cop’s widow to offer condolences

President-elect Donald Trump called slain NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo’s widow Thursday morning and personally extended his “condolences” to her on the day that thousands of police officers paid tribute to the fallen Finest at his funeral.

“I’m very sorry I cannot be there with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time,” Trump told the grieving woman, according to a source.

“I want to express my condolences from me and my family.”

Tuozzolo, a married father-of-two, was shot and killed last week by 35-year-old ex-con Manuel Rosales. He had been responding to a report of a break-in.

Thousands of cops gathered in Long Island on Thursday for Tuozzolo’s funeral.

A line of officers extended for nearly a mile as a hearse carrying his flag-draped casket made it’s way to St. Charles & Resurrection Cemetery in East Farmingdale for his interment.

Friends and family described the 19-year veteran as a “family man” and “protector” who was willing to do anything he could to save lives.

Trump has been a vocal supporter of the NYPD, even mentioning them in his victory speech on Tuesday night.

“Law enforcement in New York City. They are here tonight. They are spectacular people,” he said. “Sometimes underappreciated, unfortunately — but we appreciate them.”

This is the best story I've read today. Pure class.

I had mentioned a few numbers earlier, but this guy tallied up the numbers since the passage of Obamacare:

And sold more guns than any President, or anybody, ever.

Between the ACA and the drum beating for gun control, they are about out of office holders.

Man, I will be a happy camper when:

1) I can use standard capacity mags
2) I can get rid of these stupid bullet buttons
3) I can buy anything I want unconstrained by some idiotic 'safe' roster
4) I can buy a suppressed SBR

So do we keep it going through his entire presidency? It'll get so big it would blow up Para's server.

We can't kill this thread!

No compromises, no meet in the middle etc.. we tried that before with Ryan and we got slapped in the face.

It's time to take them to the the mattress. We won, they lost, tough $hit. Any RINO who is not on board with the new order needs to be ousted and replaced. Time to re-write the last 8 years.

Donald Trump stopped Hillary Clinton. She will never be POTUS now, and she knows it, and she knows we know it. Trump stopped her.

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me...
