Ok   I understand the fuss now.  Never really gave it much thought.  There was always a lot of animosity from the right against the GOP.  I wouldn't mind a more vigorous opposition.

Sure! The cromnibus. I would not have done that at all.

The cromnibus kept Ryan-Murray spending caps of $521 billion for defense and $492 billion for non-defense spending. It left the Department of Homeland Security as the only agency not funded through the end of the fiscal year.

It included no new funding for Obamacare. It prohibited the transfer or release of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into the United States, meaning no civilian trials. It blocked funding of the risk corridors that, under the Affordable Care Act, could lead to a government bailout of the insurance companies. It maintained all the existing pro-life policy and funding provisions and added three more while cutting the funds for the Independent Payment Advisory Board (which is the body that would be recommending any rationing of health care) by $10 million.

The bill also cut funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by $60 million, which is the fifth consecutive year the agency’s budget had been cut and may finally convince the bureaucrats who run the place they cannot go beyond what they are legally authorized to do without congressional approval. And it hit the Internal Revenue Service particularly hard, cutting its allocation of federal dollars by $345.6 million, prohibited it from targeting organizations because of the way they chose to exercise their First Amendment rights or on an ideological basis, punished it for its profligate abuse of taxpayer dollars on expensive, needless videos and conferences at luxury resorts, and prohibited the White House from ordering the review of any organization's tax exempt status.

You wouldn't have done any of that at all Bigun?

Good! Afar more vigorous opposition is far preferable to the total capitulation we have seen thus far.

I don't agree with the "total capitulation" hyperbole but I get that people want more vigorous opposition.

It's gotten to the point that proper decorum is out of place in politics.  Tis true.  "Nice guys finish last".

Well well.  I guaran-effiing-tee you that someone was hoping this thread was dead and buried.

I'm sure there are plenty more nuggets sprinkled all over the place.

Really? How’s it possible to be at once clairvoyant and dead wrong? Donald Trump is none of the things you said he was. In fact, as many of his supporters including me knew would happen, Trump’s actions in office have been as conservative, and in many ways, more conservative than Ronald Reagan’s.

About Trump you’ve been proven to be wrong, wronglyer, and wronglyest. A threefer!  888high58888

The point of the piece was that our government is a damned circus act, and every circus must have a ringmaster.

I'll tell you why I'm encouraging Donald Trump's candidacy at this time.

It's gotten to the point that proper decorum is out of place in politics.  Tis true.  "Nice guys finish last".

In fact, after being 'burned' now several times going back to Robert Dole and John McCain, while the country seems to be sprinting toward Socialism, what exactly is it about Republicans' fascination with one-arm handicapped Nominees?  It's beyond ridiculous.

Next up, the candidate with the pearly white smile.  Like something out of a Pepsodent commercial.  One that you swore, stepped out of a Leave it to Beaver or Donna Reed episode.

If Mitt Romney couldn't beat a conniving Marxist like Barack Obama and the mainstream media complex, who could possibly pick up the banner and save our Republic?

Not only "No Sir!", but "HELL NO, YOU STUPID SOBS!"   I've had it.

Time to try something new and different.   How about a candidate that has the ballz to rip off an opponent's face and show it to him?

My country is circling the drain and Social Conservatives are still stomping their feet and asking for another 'one' armed Savior?

Uh....before you run out to pick out the proper color to paint the house....FIRST put out the Goddamned fire!

It may be true that Donald Trump is more Democrat than Republican. 

NEWSFLASH!!   I don't give a ###K.  The hillside our Republic was built upon has been steadily eroding.  Blame it on WoodStock.  Blame it on Kent State.  Blame it on VietNam.  Blame it on public sector unions.  DON'T CARE!

Shoring up the hill is fruitless and pointless.

Today's Democrats are not in the vein of John F. Kennedy or even William Jefferson Clinton.  Today's Democrat leadership would have been rounded up and arrested 'only' 60 years ago.

Therefore, I choose to understand and respect my enemies on the Left, and get realistic in my new chosen leader.

#1.  I want an unabashed Capitalist who appreciates the concept of Trickle Down Economics.  One who knows full well that there is a pent-up pile of cash just waiting for a signal that it's safe to come out and grow a business once again without punishing regulations whose only intent was to destroy wealth.

#2.  I want every single one of Obama's Executive Orders to be rescinded.

Does anybody think for one minute that Barack Obama, the retired POTUS is going away?  He'll be in our faces every damned night on the news.  They'll have a Barack Obama segment for chrissakes.

No.  We need a POTUS that will not go the 'mature', 'adult' way filled with gravitas and other assorted happy horsesh*t.  One that stays pissed and vindictive and continues to destroy our enemies.

And that person today is Donald Trump.

@Luis Gonzalez

Ya wanna talk about clairvoyance?    :whistle:

There it is.

Donald Trump won't fold like the GOP Presidents of the past.

If Schumer and Pelosi cause the government shutdown, President Trump will figuratively rip their arms off....use it to beat them on their heads.

This ain't the "Bush" league.

PS:  Good to 'see' you again, Luis.  Hope all is well.   :beer:

All one has to do to see why so many conservatives are behind this president, and why you were so right when you wrote this post, is look at Trump’s actions, his promises kept, his documented record in office. It’s all there, no spin.

I've been talking about Jerry Springer politics for quite sometime now. It's the norm for both sides of the political spectrum now.

Sad.

Trump/Downey 2016!

Get back to me when we start seeing fistfights in Congress, like they have in Taiwan.

So the standard is fist fights in Congress?

You’d think the standard for the US would be a tad higher.

Hey DC!

Lots of moving pieces in my life as of late.

Our government is a joke. A sad joke.

Trump is the President and I helped get him there, but that doesn’t change my opinion of him, or the government in general.

It’s a sad, pathetic joke.

Good to see you still have your back up singers.

   I was looking for the Q Thread to post more of my Bizarre BS and ran across this Thread. 
   I have a newfound Respect for @Luis Gonzalez someone I never related to in here. 
   And with that I'll go back out on my tiny deck, smoke a couple of bowls and take just a couple of draws of my half-frozen Fireball whiskey.  The Sun's down and it's only 97.
