I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, I doubt that will ever happen. “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

The 40% of people who like Obama care are the people who get subsidies. a large percentage of this group will never vote for anything we believe in. screw em. Obamacare needs to decapitated quickly. we are all better off if nothing is done to replace it. If republicans choose to implement something else in Obamacare place that is their foolish choice. I obtained healthcare like many others through employment. If the 40% want healthcare then they can get off their asses and get a fucking job. | |||

One obstacle to clear thinking here is the use of the term "insurance" when what is really being attempted is "pre-paid nedical care." Insurance only works when a large number of individuals are exposed to a risk of loss, which will only fall on a small number of those at risk, but unknowable in advance which. Premiums are collected from all sufficient to pay the losses and costs of administration. Our medical insurance had become so all inclusive that it is no longer insurance but prepaid care, so the costs must fall on everyone. No other way. 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 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 | |||

another standard capacity magazine of bullets dodged... Here’s What Hillary Clinton’s Cabinet Would Have Looked Like If She Had Won Hillary Clinton had most of her cabinet and West Wing positions picked out by Election Day, several of her campaign hands have revealed. Mike Allen, the former Politico reporter, published the “ghost cabinet” on Tuesday at Axios, a new media company he co-founded. According to Allen’s sources, John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman whose hacked emails were published prior to the election, was set to receive a nomination to serve as secretary of state. Podesta has served in two Democratic White Houses. He rose to chief of staff in Bill Clinton’s White House and was an advisor to President Obama. The rest of the major cabinet positions were to be doled out as follows: Attorney General — Current AG Loretta Lynch Treasury Department — Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg Labor Department — Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz Defense Department — Michèle Flournoy, a former Defense Department official Health and Human Services — Center for American Progress executive director Neera Tanden The Environmental Protection Agency and/or the Department of Education were to go to an African-American candidate, Allen’s sources said. Clinton’s core campaign staff was also set to receive plum West Wing positions. Brian Fallon was to retain his role as press secretary, and Nick Merrill was to remain in the traveling press secretary position. Huma Abedin, Clinton’s longtime aide and the wife of Anthony Weiner, was to serve as Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, a role similar to one she held at the State Department. Ron Klain, a former aide to Vice President Biden and President Obama’s “Ebola czar,” was to serve as chief of staff. Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook would have been a senior adviser, and Philippe Reines, a controversial former Clinton State Department aide, was to serve as counselor. Notably absent from the list is Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s State Department chief of staff and one of her lawyers during the email investigation. Top legal jobs at the Clinton White House were to go to Karen Dunn and Heather Samuelson, who would serve as White House counsel and deputy counsel, respectively. Samuelson was the Clinton aide who sifted through the former secretary of state’s emails before they were given to the State Department in Dec. 2014. Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s campaign communications director, would have had the first right of refusal on many jobs, according to Allen. She was to be given “whatever she wants” in terms of a West Wing gig. Sara Latham, who served as John Podesta’s deputy and was involved in providing his password to the hackers who broke into his Gmail account, was to be given the role of deputy chief of staff for operations. On the national security front, the coveted national security advisor position was to be given to Jake Sullivan. Sullivan worked as Clinton’s top policy man at the State Department. He was also responsible for sending much of the classified email traffic that was discovered on Clinton’s private email server. Tom Donilon, another former State Department official, was to serve as CIA director or director of national intelligence, Allen reports. The list also shows that the Clinton team wanted current Labor Secretary Tom Perez to serve as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He is currently in the running for that role.

Thank God none of that is a possibility now. I don't know if Lynch could be worse than Holder but I bet she would have tried.

If Clinton had been elected I knew we would see Lynch for at least another 4 years, in payment for her positions on the email and IRS investigations, et al. "While not every Democrat is a horse thief, every horse thief is a Democrat." HORACE GREELEY | |||

Some interesting names on that list, but this one caught my eye because I remembered his name from some wikileaks emails. In Oct 2015, before Biden had publicly said he wouldn't run, Klain was apparently communicating with Podesta and Palmieri, and admitted to "a role in the Biden demise." In another wikileaks email about a month later (Nov 2015), he asks Podesta to "give Robby [Mook] a nudge" on hiring Klain's daughter as a Clinton "surrogate." The nudge apparently worked, since Hannah Klain's linkedin says she was employed by the Hillary for America Surrogates Team from Dec 2015-Aug 2016. Looks like Klain was going to be richly rewarded for his treachery. _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

At lunch today, someone told me that Gen. Mattis had a bear rug on his living room floor. The bear is still alive, too afraid to move. 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.

It gladdens my heart to no end to know that these commies thought that they had these jobs in the bag and then had the door shut in their faces. Especially that despicable broad Jennifer Palmieri.

Fake intel in the intel reports? This should be fun. 4chan Claims It Invented the Trump Golden Showers Story The forum alleged an anonymous user invented Tuesday’s bombshell about Donald Trump and Russian prostitutes—and then passed it onto a Republican operative. But there’s a weak stream of proof. In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous "golden showers" scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as "fanfiction", then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...ti-trump-report-hoax NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

Anyone catch the tongue lashing Ted Cruz gave the Democratic members of the committee during the Jeff Sessions questioning stating how glad he was that they were now supporters of the rule of law since that had not been the case for the last 8 years, with point after point ending with "and the Democratic members of this committee were silent".

If that 4Chan story is true, and the CIA put a completely fabricated bizarre Russian/sex report in Trump's file, this is one of the biggest intelligence failures of modern times. It makes CIA/NSA/FBI look like complete morons. Clapper and Rogers (NSA) should be dragged back before congress and let Cruz and Gowdy tear them apart. This is really beyond belief. I saw this yesterday but it was so crazy I didn't post. Here is a link to the 35 page document that is now said to completely FAKE. https://assets.documentcloud.o...ence-Allegations.pdf The question to be verified now is did the CIA fall for this ? Remember that smug self assured, know it all, attitude of Clapper in the Senate hearing ? and the NSA head with their "high confidence" in their intel info ? adding: several reports that this was a CNN/Buzzfeed attempt to blast Trump just before his news conference. This could be quite a story. adding: Carl Bernstein on CNN said the fake report was given to John McCain who then took it to the FBI http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/...gence-report-russia/ see video at link | |||

Heard it on The Sam Malone Show this morning on Houston AM radio... FREAKING AWESOME "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
