Same as 2016. They can't accept that they put people it power whose sole goal is to gently caress them over, so they have to come up with excuses for how they're still losing.

In 2006 a book came out titled “The Liberal Mind” The psychological causes of political madness by Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. M.D. He hit the nail smack dead center when he claimed in so many words that most die hard socialist-they prefer to be called liberals as it has a better ring to it have some kind of a mental defect. Every time whenever one or the other gives his or her opinion, they just can’t refrain proving the point. It is a great book, worth reading and to some extend helps to explain why their minds are so screwed up (stating it kindly and refraining from a more expletive version)

You are thinking critically S_R. I am looking @ their tactics and strategies and I think they rolled us for 2020.
* FLA will have 1.5 million new voters, Fellons.
* New voting laws NV & MI * Redistricting in MI.
* PA is gone via redistricting.
* MN, a State PDJT wanted? Ellison is now in power as Sec of State IMMIC how does that work out.
WI? Walker is gone, big swing left.
* NH, lost the State House and Senate, how do we get those 4 electoral.

So, I ask, What is PDJT's path to victory with a ball-less gelded RNC, & even Scalise was sounding wimpy today aka we have to analyze why we lost, are you freaking kidding me, I am not gonna lay it out it would take to long, their is about a 1/2 dozen big ones to start.

So were do we get the replacement electoral votes for MI, WI, FLA, PA, and the hopes of gains in NV & MN?

Unless "The Big Ugly" occurs and Whitaker has indictments for all the players that Sundance has talked about, and we stop these 85 subpoenas that Rush talked about today by actual indictments, and kock them on their rear end politically and put them on defense we are hosed. The Trump revitalization and constitutional republic is over. They will run Bloomberg and we will have gun control up the ying-yang, socialized medicine and globalism faster that you know what through a tin horn.

Last Tuesday was worse than people realize, I am realist and I see it. Especially here in MI, local talk show guys get it, they get how the local RNC stepped on it and are clueless. They didn't follow Trump's model to victory, rejected him, ( not to mention a message to millennials ) the money dried up and the rest is history.

When people think Civil War, they think about military groups fighting each other with military weapons. We are already in the civil war (small letters). It is Antifa. It is elected representatives telling people to be uncivil to the opposition. It is threatening crowds around people’s houses as happened with Kavanaugh and Tucker Carlson. It is riots where the police stand down and rioters loot.

There may be terrorist bombings but there won’t be any large scale assaults to take territory. Both sides have their territories and the last thing liberals want is more territory they can’t support. Instead, they want a tax base which they get by stealing elections that they can’t legitimately win.

The weakest, yet most visible to the average person of the assaults against liberty are the virtue signaling famous people. They have declared themselves on the side of “The Rebels.”

I don’t see an end to this war as “The Rebels” never lose any actual people. But, they do, by their actions, achieve notoriety and “satisfaction.” The end will come only when it becomes uncool to be a rebel; when Saturday Night Live plays the Star Spangled Banner and every cast member salutes. (I will be long in my grave by then.)

There's no GOP schism anymore. The Trumpists won and primaried every moderate to extinction. The evangelicals sold out to Trump completely. The "former Republican" pundits pleading for a return to normalcy on CNN or MSNBC hold no power or influence.

There have been a few surprises out of Republican quarters, on this Whitaker pick.

Weird, but it should hold for the short term, long enough to move in the man or woman of the hour who will rip the Swamp with a great deal more vigor than we’ve seen so far.

If I remember correctly JFK appointed his brother Robert Attorney General - The Democrats seemed to have been ok with that bit of nepotism.

Isn’t the only qualification for a cabinet job is the President wants them in that job (and the Senate confirms)?

As for the courts, they have no oversight of the Executive Branch of Government. They can rule on laws but I don’t see anything that gives them the right to decide who the President chooses for cabinet. That authority belongs to the Senate.

Given the issue with Whitacker’s incidental involvement in an organization being investigated by the FBI, I think it would be smart for Trump to find an official somewhere that he trusts, that DID make it through some senate confirmation, and appoint THAT person for now. Even better if the person has never commented publicly about the Mueller investigation.

Remove the possible illegality, and the conflict, and the possible investigation, and move on.

But they've never grasped that the world doesn't work like the tiny Illinois farming town they grew up in in the 30s through 50s, and have spent the rest of their lives similarly insulated from what reality is like for everyone who's not exactly like them.

#ThisIsOurLane: Doctors hit back at pro-gun group NRA

quote:

If 90% of Second Amendment supporters quit, doctors would be working solely for the government and living in poverty. They would be living in constant fear. They should feel relatively comfortable with more moral, reasonable people around them being armed, with the offspring of a couple of generations of their feminist divorce/cohabitation policies on the loose.

Yep. Most real doctors I know are either NRA or otherwise staunch pro-gun.
With the way the Rats and commie media are getting friskier by the minute, anyone with a perfused brain ought to be very, very, pro-gun.

Physician mistake kills more than 10X of ALL GUN DEATHS, not merely accidental gun deaths. 400,000 physician-caused deaths vs 30,000 gun deaths per year.

Doctors kill 200,000 people every year because of their mistakes.

Physician heal thyself!

Also, someone should remind these left-wing medical marvels that innocent people use firearms millions of time per year to protect and defend themselves from violent criminals.

That adds up to vast numbers of people who DON’T wind up in their “lane,” because they chose NOT to be a victim.

Since “medical” errors kill 250,000 people each year, shouldn’t these doctors be policing their own profession? Of course, they are LIB asshat political ideologues so don’t hold your breath. What anti-Freedom nitwits.

I don’t trust doctors at all. Most doctors get eight minutes to diagnose and treat a patient. I have been misdiagnosed more times than not, because doctors just don’t care. All they care about is getting the bill paid. $200 for 8 minutes and a misdiagnosis is a waste of my money and time.

I’m so sorry about your grandmother. I can imagine how frustrating it is.

First toss out the non-American doctors who have no concerns about the Second Amendment.

Then unload the hypocritical doctors who support abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, or the Dmeonicrat Party.

Then remove the doctors who refuse to account for the lives saved by firearms.

That should take care of most of the rabid antigun kook doctors.

If 90% of the General Practitioners and Family Medicine doctors quit, would anyone notice?

As far as I can tell, their only job is to screen you for a referral to a specialist or to prescribe a palliative for your untreatable health condition.

By the way..

Is everyone on this thread aware that 38% of USA physicians are foreign born?

Also, more than 50% of USA physicians are female and/or foreign born, which goes a long way to explaining why our health system has moved Progressively to the Left for the last several decades.

One of Progressivim's first great successes was to put medicine outside of the limits of Consitutional restrain. They did this with vaccines. Mandatory vaccination would seem to violate Constitutional rights. You are arrested without warrant, forced to undergo physical abuse you disagree with without any trial, and all this is became sanctioned as within the bounds of the Constitution. A huge exception to Constitutional rights was created. Now, the idea is to medicalize everything. Medicine is the prime excuse for ignoring the Constitution.
Violate the Second Amendment? Define it as a matter of "public health" and you are well on your way.

If Murder and gun accidents are "public health" what is *not* public health.

I can tell you: Homosexual Sex.

Remember how doctors were not allowed to track aids patients?

"Public Health" has become just another way to subvert the Constitution.

#17. Doctors and the CDC need to start a study on how many people die from violence by knife. If you add in the factor that some groupings of people have a more ready access to or cultural affinity for knives/swords/machetes, etc., then you can see another “never want to be discussed” problem.

How many doctors are opposed to the death penalty? Someone take a national poll. Then you’ll see their lack of concern for the murderers’ victims. The same for the forensic pathologists, etc.

How many doctors “declare” that a psychopath is “fit to be released”, and then takes no responsibility when their “fit” patient goes out and commits the same kind of murder, AGAIN?

Why has it taken the CDC so long to do realistic studies on crime, guns, weapons, etc? Hell, Obama and Holder had 8 years to do it and nobody would have objected if it was done scientifically and without any prejudicial guiding views.

The increasing attacks on conservatives in restaurants (add Tucker Carlson’s family), the streets, at their homes, offices, and at public events are a sure sign that some Marxist/communist/anarchist “soldier” is going to kill someone ala the Alexandria, Va. baseball field mass shooting.

The “progressives” are stoking this fire and they don’t realize that the wind could turn and them and they would be on the receiving end. There are a few insane people amongst the grouping “conservatives” and they will go “Negan” on the Dems and their Marxist shocktroops.

Then it might be all out war and guess who is better armed, trained, motivated, and willing to die to protect their families, homes, and countries.

This next chapter of American history will be entitled “Locked, Loaded and Deadly Serious”, and we are going to write the story, not some leftist academic Marxist pukes and gender fairies.

Guns have been around since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock but mass shootings began in 1966 in the Texas Tower shooting. Since then there have been many mass shootings and they seem to be getting more common. Something changed since 1966 and I think I know what it is. It is known that the CIA has used mentally ill people to commit murders. They are hypnotized by professional hypnotists and they are given a post hypnotic suggestion to forget that they did the act.

This is not a “conspiracy theory”. In the 1970’s Senator Frank Church had a Senate investigation of the CIA and found many crimes and human rights abuses committed by them. They even murdered a CIA scientist Frank Olsen who was thrown out of a window after being drugged.

Are there CIA who can get people to commit murder and not remember? Are there people in the CIA or FBI who are psychopaths who are capable of doing these terrible things without guilt? The answer is yes.

The series of mass killings that we have been experiencing is being done by psychopaths in the government. They are our worst enemies, they are the enemy within. They are callously killing innocent people to put pressure to give up guns and the 2nd Amendment.

Yeah, my grandmother, who coincidentally is also from a rural Illinois town, is the sweetest, most considerate, most giving person you'd ever meet. Proudly voted for Obama.

And one day in a conversation she casually mentioned that she thought Joe McCarthy had gotten a bum rap.

It feels bad to say it, but sometimes I’m glad my grand-father died in 2015 so I can tell myself he might not have voted for Trump.
