I like it, honestly. It's decorative and pretty without being gaudy while being very subdued in color, like there's just enough to make it eye pleasing.

They hate and fear complexity even more than brown skin. The Enemy is all one monolithic block of pure evil with unlimited power. Nobody could really disagree with them, so they must all be agents of the Enemy. Since the Enemy is a cartoonish villain, all they have to do is blow up the biggest thing related to them. That will kill the Enemy's evil forces and bring about the pure, noble rule of whatever Freep believes in this week. The only reason that hasn't happened is because the Enemy has infested society too highly and/or those filthy foolish pussy LIEberal snowflakes are to weak and stupid to take the smart option.

So yeah, they would bring about nuclear armageddon in a week if they had their way.

When 2 of my adult children will hardly speak to me because I voted for the “admitted sexual assaulter” Trump, my response is that they voted for a woman who should be behind bars in an orange jump suit.

Notice what he did NOT say: Let her off.

Basically, he said he doesn’t care either way. That’s a lot different than “Let her off.” It’s also the appropriate thing to say at this point.

Since it’s virtually certain that she’s guilty, I’d say he just gave a green light to locking her up. If everything she has done comes out, it will be for the rest of her life.

The left is terrified that Trump is going to take away their funding, and expose the corruption they have engaged in for decades.

Here's my unprovable theory on how they are now going to try to steal the election. The intelligence agencies, the leftists, and their "non-partisan" Republican allies have cooked up a story that the Russians managed to defeat Hillary. They will get some flunky Federal Judge to issue a nullification order. It will be appealed to the USSC which will rule 4 to 4, which in essence, upholds the lower court order. It's anyone's guess what will happen after that.

Yes, the left is THAT desperate, and history shows that they will obtain and keep power by all means necessary, and the current situation is no different.

Nice words. Pruitt's appointment to the EPA, Mattis for Defense, Kelly at DHS, etc., speak a lot louder.

The only -actions- about which I am disappointed are bringing in the Goldman Sachs people.

Unless, of course, the Goldman Sachs people know that globalism has run its course and are now positioning themselves to benefit from its being rolled back. They are smart guys, after all.

I would say for some things a wrecking ball is the most cost efficient and time efficient. Things like obama”care” and the IRS and the Department of “Education”, and the NSA and the TSA and “Common Core” need to be obliterated-—completely wiped out, and a whole new Constitutional ‘system” needs to replace it.

Actually, we need to go back to pre-Dewey and pre-Pres. Wilson—a TRULY constitutional system. That evil pawn, Wilson, controlled by the pscychopath sodomites from Jekyll Island/CFR destroyed our Constitution and it has to be reinstated: the Federal Reserve needs to be obliterated. All banksters wealth needs to be returned to the countries that the banks defrauded and used, so that millions were killed and mutilated for their perverse ambitions and satanic sacrificial rituals.

All justices/lawyers who are in secret societies need to resign, or leave office, since they have taken oaths antithetical to the Constitution of the USA and worship satan who is antithetical to Natural Rights from God. (Our Constitution).

"Mr. Trump was pressed by “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace about charges he intends to take a “wrecking ball” to Mr. Obama’s accomplishments, which critics have said is obvious from some of the president-elect’s Cabinet picks. “No, I don’t want to do that at all. I just want what’s right,” Mr. Trump said in an interview aired Sunday. "

This is important. He is saying that he is not motivated by wrecking Obama's accomplishments. He just wants what is right.

Undoing most of what Obama did is the right thing to do.

The ruination of Obama's legacy will be a byproduct of doing what's right, not the driver.

Trump is speaking a simple truth, and I'm heartened that he is focusing on what's right instead of revenge or some other negative motive.

A slo-mo wrecking ball. As it should be, and that will be the only way a dismantling can take place. Obama took 8 yrs. to perfect his vision, it could take just as long to reverse it.We will, to continue the metaphor, start seeing things clearly all during the first few years of a Trump Presidency. The Dems will not give up, and will ALWAYS find things to criticize and demagogue, even though the numbers should all be positive, and the reverses on the terror/crime front will be self-evident. The Dems will want to get in on all that, and will float the idea that if they didn’t give Trump the pushback they did, he will have been the monster they are still saying he is. Just watch. That will be their strategy, and it won’t work as a device to re-establish their political power.Trump is NOT the demagogue Obama got away with being.

We have threatened/possibly bribed electors. Recounts still not killed, the Traitor McCain out there helping push the outside interference crap and who knows what shoe is dropping next. For now, all the Joy I had from this has been sucked out by all this uncertainty.

Here the problem: for seven years republicans in congress passed symbolic pic votes to kill Obamacare knowing that they would never get through. It was symbolism to fool the masses. But now they have Trump and he says "it's time, s me me those big low to sign" and the congress has to admit they have no plan. They always planned for Obamacare to stay in place. So trump is in a tough spot, his party lied about the issue they have been running in for seven years. What to do?

Perhaps slow it down a little until you have it figured out. Which is what I think this means.

Trump will drag his feet, blame minorities, and try to hand off all work to his minions when his followers turn to terrorism. Especially if non white people are the victims. I doubt he knows or cares that his base could really cause damage because he assumed they were like his other victims: easily riled up, then disposable. He thinks that he'll be able to just tell them to do his bidding and keep worshipping him. That they could do something that would be tied to him never entered his mind. He expects that his sheer power will let him solve all problems and continue to never face consequences.

The best outcome we can hope for is an ebola epidemic that kills all reactionaries. The problem isn't that Trump is president, the problem is that Trump got elected. That won't change even if he has a stroke tomorrow.

Same goes for the recent Austrian elections, everybody was patting themselves in the back that "the fascists were defeated". The fascists got 47% of the vote, by which measure is that "a victory"?

From Rand Paul Explains Why John Bolton Should Be 'Nowhere Close' to the State Department posted by freeper SeekAndFind

It's a Townhall article about a Politico article.

Rand Paul in the Politico article posted:

“John Bolton doesn’t get it. He still believes in regime change. He’s still a big cheerleader for the Iraq War,” Paul said. “John Bolton is so far out of it and has such a naive understanding of the world.”
[...]
But he’s already gotten his answer on Bolton.

“He should get nowhere close to the State Department if anybody with a sane worldview is in charge,” Paul said.

The reaction is swift and decisive.

Meaningless comment. Did you listen to the interview?

If Bolton is for regime change as a policy everywhere (and maybe that includes Syria), then his position would be diametrically opposed to Trump’s, and much closer to Clinton’s.

Without the support of those of us who are for limited government, and those of us who are against the disastrous policy of foreign intervention that is helping to bankrupt the Republic, you would have been saying Madam President for the next 4 years.

Rand doesn’t understand that “Advise and Consent” doesn’t mean you should hold up a nomination because you don’t like a person’s ideas. It should be about whether or not he’s qualified. It remains for the President to lay out basic policy. When Bolton was with Boosh, he followed what Boosh wanted, not what he wanted anyway.

From Bolton suggests DNC hack was Obama administration 'false flag' posted by freeper springwater13

the excerpt posted:

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton suggested Sunday that the hacking of the Democratic National Committee may have been a "false flag" operation by the Obama administration.

"It is not at all clear to me just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC computers was not a false flag operation," Bolton, who was being considered for a senior position in the State Department, told Fox News.

"Are are you actually accusing someone here in the administration or in the intelligence community of trying to throw something?" Eric Shawn pressed Bolton.

"We just don't know. But I believe that intelligence has been politicized in the Obama administration to a very significant degree."

While yesterday's other thread on John Bolton ended up being nothing but a Paulbot flamewar, two schools of thought on Bolton appeared: those that are unconcerned because he'll follow Trump's orders, and those that don't want someone in the administration that still thinks going to Iraq was a good idea.

It doesn't matter, though, because it was those loving commies.

Every intelligence agency in the world believed there were forbidden weapons in Iraq. It was not something dreamed up by America. American troops were sickened from handling these materials.

Saddam Hussein was the King of Terror and had organized and financed operations all over the world including the US. He was by far the most dangerous player in the Middle East and we are better for having him dead.

My only beef with all that was that we were never told that it would be a twenty five year involvement. I know why, but we have had troops stationed in Germany and Japan for seventy years and Korea for sixty. So continued involvement should have been obvious.

how did this discussion turn to Iraq WMDs ?

after digging deep into world news,at the start of Gulf War 2, I discovered it was never about WMDs or stopping humanitarian disasters, It never is. It never was

It was about stopping the degredation of the USD by Sadaam selling oil in non-USD.
First they slant drilled/stole Iraq oil to get even, eventually he had to go. On the one hand they said they had to stop Sadaam from killing his own people ( the Kurds )with WMD's, but at the end of Gulf War 1, Bush and Colin Powell ordered our Navy warplanes to stand down while they watched with rockets locked on target ready to fire as Iraq helicopters slaughtered thousands of Kurdish refugees in flight on a road after being purged from Baghdad because the US put the Kurds up to a failed insurrection, A four star general and Three Navy pilots resigned over it, their resignations refused and they were given retirement. It made me realize that "humanitarian Disaster" is just a false flag for an excuse to defend the USD

Same fate was dealt to Ghadaffy, now they are after Assad but Putin drew the line.

But now those people are all but gone and no one really understands what it was really like, so they're up to trying it.

To FREEP (and trump voters in general) the goal isn't to "win", the goal is for the other side to lose. You saw it with Trayvon Martin, when Zimmerman was acquitted they STILL weren't happy because they didn't want Zimmerman found not guilty, they wanted Trayvon found guilty. Who loses is FAR more important than who wins, who wins hardly matters at all if the right people lose and, since EVERY issue is a "win or lose" type issue, every time someone else wins they lose.

I won't quote this whole post, but this is the Freeper nathanbedford, and the end of his post has Nathan Bedford Forrest's picture.

quote:

In less than a generation we have seen an entire society reverse its judgment on homosexuality. You might not like it but there it is. In reversing the judgment many have come to the conclusion that all matters of sexuality should be held to be a private matter, a retail matter between man and God and not subject to legal prohibition. Indeed, the Supreme Court years earlier had already ruled that the state might not regulate homosexual acts done between adults, or presumably among adults, in private. To illustrate how far matters had progressed, it had now become illegal to discriminate in business or to decline to do business with homosexuals just as it had become illegal to decline to do business with, for example, African Americans or religious groups.

This legal revolution applied equally to the Boy Scouts and it is not a surprise that ultimately the Boy Scouts redefined its mission so that it no longer required discrimination against homosexuality. In doing so, the Boy Scouts came to render unto Caesar.

Wait, so you can have gay sex and still be good and moral? Where's savagesusie to weigh in on this?

quote:

My eyes roll upward. If this is about young boys, good deeds, leadership, then let all boys as they are be able to be a part. All boys however they are made.

If this is about scout leaders, let’s have them all keep any sex acts they do PRIVATE. Not interested in what they do sexually as long as they are good and moral people who will not lead the boys astray.

Most men who molest children from positions of authority are “married” to a woman, even those who molest young boys. We must not let alone any men with positions of authority over children and youth WITH said children. No unsupervised time alone with any child, no car rides, nothing. That goes for teachers, coaches, clergy, anyone.

How far is Freep willing to go to suck Trump's dick? Well, it's pointed out twice that Exxon Mobile directly donates to Planned Parenthood, and no other Freepers comment on it whatsoever.

BTW, According to Breitbart, ExxonMobile is one of the many companies that DIRECTLY fund Planned Parenthood.

Not every Freeper is against Tillerson because of the Scouts thing, some of them are against him for other reasons.

Face it, this is just usual collection of knee jerk Never Trumpers looking desperately for the next thing to whine about because their god Cruz lost the 2016 GOP Primary.

Not at all. Trump has made a very bad pick here installing a carbon tax loving crony globalist at the 3rd post important post in the federal government. He’s going to be hearing about it from everybody except the Trump can do no wrong crowd. Guaranteed.

An interesting question that so far no other Freepers have answered.

quote:

As with all things political, I would ask if the opposite party would support a guy with the same creds if nominated.

So if a Obama appointed a dude who helped and supported normalizing homosexuality into the BSA would FR or the GOP support it?

More like a no-man administration! :v:

quote:

Add to that the fact that Tillerson himself is an Eagle Scout, as am I. I don’t like the idea of gay scoutmasters anymore than I like the idea of male Girl Scout leaders; bad idea, bad chemistry.

I haven’t been involved in scouting since I graduated from high school, but if scouting is in any way similar to what it was when I was young (I belonged to packs and troops officially sponsored by the US Air Force, which is no longer allowed by DoD), scouting is a good influence on any young man - gay or otherwise - and I strongly suspect that there were gay (we didn’t use that word then) young men in a few of my troops. Beyond that regarding scouting, see my first comment.

Finally, if anyone believes that Trump is going to find any nominee, for any cabinet position, that is not objectionable to someone for some reason, he is going to have a two-man administration.

Yes you are you loving moron, that's literally all you goddamn idiots have done every time he supports something you guys used to hate. poo poo, look at this very thread where people are saying "Hey, gays are totally cool, why would gays being around our kids be a problem?"

quote:

FR is a conservative site. If Trump suddenly decides that abortion is the American thing to do, we’re not just going to be sycophants and respond “well, he’s still better than Obama”

Trust but verify

Finally I'll leave you with this.

quote:

The Democrats oppose Ben Carson because the Democrats don’t like blacks or people who help blacks.
The Democrats oppose Rex Tillerson because the Democrats don’t like homosexuals or people who help homosexuals.

Rinse and repeat 1000 times. It’s how the Democrats win all their arguments.
