Oh, kiss Will Smith goodnight, call the nurse for your Dulcolax pill, shut up and let us fine bitches dance.



I saw that and it reminded me of the drug cartels dancing as the car goes.   Must be a Hispanic thing.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

In my post #691 on this thread, I laid out my understanding of what Trump was/is planning.  I am now adjusting my own prediction with respect to some of the timing issues. 

I formerly believed that massive arrests would start before the election.  Unfortunately, miscellaneous delays have cropped up to make such a sweep politically untenable or even illegal under the Hatch Act (which forbids certain actions by most government officials if they could be construed as attempts to affect an election).

I still maintain that there will be a huge number of arrests--including Hillary, Obama, Podesta, Abedin, et al --but these will have to wait until after the election.  We are now too close to the election for an October Surprise.  It would be more like a November Surprise.

Um wow...I think you pegged this one about 180degrees out of phase.   Sasse was elected in 2015.  Do a YouTube search for “Ben Sasse Kavanaugh hearing” and see if that strikes you as a deep stater.     Pretty much the only “conservatives” who criticize Sasse are members of the trump fanboy club because he has on occasion criticized trump.

Not true @Axeslinger .  Sasse has been widely criticized and for good reason.  He's all about Sasse and has no interest in furthering the interests of Trump or the Republican Party.  He seems to dream of being an independent candidate.  He has no allies in the Senate.

He's constantly saying stuff to get a rise out of people.

Wake me if there are actual indictments.

Until then, I am not holding my breath.

The lawless are above the law as has been demonstrated over and over and over and over and over again.

'Laws' are only for us little people to make sure we are kept down and in our place.  The Ruling Class has no law, except that which they render to those they rule.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Yeah, I don't really identify Republican either.  Trump is going to have to work hard and do the things he says he is going to do.  Its his problem.  Early twittering with no actions.  He is going to be judged on what happens at the border.  And probably people like you will make excuses if thousands do end up in the United States.

Sasse did loose some of his shine to me when he sided against family separation.  Because many of the children come with people other than parents.  Also family separation was done by Obama and it is a deterent.  There were people waiting in Mexico because they feared crossing and getting separated.  Now the number of illegal immigrants crossing on President Trumps watch has grown immensely.

Something like that.  That's why I don't have an exact date for you. 

Then again, maybe December (or January, when the new court martial rules for civilians take effect).

That fits my timeline for the reign of the Anti-Christ too...I wish I could witness the deceiver's face when Jesus returns, but I bet it looks a lot like this...

Sasse is a Never Trumper all along, just like that IDIOT Kasich in Ohio.  That man was once a good politician with what I thought was a good future, and now he is a total kook.  Sasse is not to far off the mark from Kasich.  Two rotten peas from the same pod, and believe me, Americans will remember both men denigrating this president, who well may become the greatest president in our history.

That's right, the greatest president.  Trump has dealt with storng opposition from both parties, and total opposition from the corrupt media.  And despite all this opposition, he has managed to accomplish more in two years than any other president in my 65 years on this planet.

He has rough edges, and I just don't care.  I want results, and he is producing them.  On the other hand, the abdicative Democommies who have resisted every step of the way have proven their worth, NOTHING!

I agree in total about Donald Trump. I think he will be remembered as a transformative president and, in the annals of Republicanism, as a great president.

Liberal historians, on the other hand, will register their virtue and note that the president used vulgar language and social media, and liked women. Well, I never!

Sasse seems to me could have swung either way on Trump but misread the electorate. He simply bet against Trump and lost. Kasich, however, seems sincerely insane in his beliefs, but also out of touch with a broad swath of voters.

Sasse and Kasich really burned their bridges when they donated to the campaigns of Clinton(s) and Dirty Harry.

Yeah right.  Evidence please!



First off though if Sasse was donating to Clinton why would he call them out as swamp?


Two Republican congressman were indicted — one for insider trading, the other for using campaign funds to bankroll his family's lifestyle. The president's campaign manager and personal attorney face felony convictions.

Naturally, Democrats are wagging their fingers and decrying Washington’s "culture of corruption." But these are the same Democrats who said nothing while Hillary Clinton used her position as Secretary of State to enrich herself and her family. In fact, they didn't just look the other way — they went ahead made her their nominee for president.

So, for those keeping score at home, here’s the sad state of things: The folks who in 2016 didn't care about draining the swamp are clamoring about it now, while the folks who promised to drain the swamp have conveniently forgotten about it. This always happens. Everyone talks about draining the swamp, but nobody does it.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/09/13/washington-ethics-drain-swamp-congress-trump-release-taxes-corruption-column/1283909002/

But I do know who donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation and it was Donald Trump:

Kellyanne Conway talking to CNN about how Trump gave $100,000 to Clinton Foundation.  Saying right off the bat that the Clinton Foundation does good things.

The party should never expect that any Senator be loyal if they have strayed from the meaning of Republican.  The problem is business as usual and the swamp.  One thing I can say for Sasse is his passion for swamp draining.  And there are mere talkers and people who actually put action to words.

No offense intended, but IMHO Senator Sasse has no idea what it will really take to drain the Swamp.  (For that matter, I don't even think Mark Levin knows what needs to be done right now.  We need hundreds or even thousands of arrests and prosecutions right now.)

Not to be nit-picky, but it sure seems the 'meaning of Republican" has changed a bit since Barry Goldwater, and even since Reagan. My views on issues haven't changed, but the Party has moved well to the Left, trying to keep pace with the leftward drift of the Communists and totalitarians on the Left to 'get the moderate vote'.
I started out well in the bell curve of Republican views, but the curve has shifted until I'm a couple of standard deviations from the mean.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
