Praise Cheetos Jesus (oops, sorry, not supposed to say that)

I prolly shouldn't have said what I did either.

But the absurdity of the post inspired me, and I just had to go with it.     :smokin:
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I guess she thinks she's going to persuade people whose minds are still functioning with weird little pictures.....   **nononono*

I actually thought it was a mistake, granted a snarky one.  It didn't occur to me that she was just trying to be an itch. 

@WAC - don't want to appear to be talking behind your back.

Pod people. It seems once you have accepted Trump as Christ, all else becomes anathema, even the truth

‘Never Trump Is Officially Dead and Buried’: How Ken Cuccinelli, Mike Lee Sold Out Grassroots for Convention Floor Spectacle

by Matthew Boyle18 Jul 2016CLEVELAND, Ohio3659
SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ken Cuccinelli of the Senate Conservatives Fund and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) sold out grassroots conservatives so they could make a spectacle on the floor of the Republican National Convention as part of the last dying breaths of the “Never Trump” collective, which is now officially dead, Breitbart News has confirmed.

A senior Republican involved in the negotiations told Breitbart News that Cuccinelli and Lee “were given an opportunity to accept two different proposals by the RNC chairman Reince Priebus.”

“They walked away from both,” said the Republican strategist personally involved in the negotiations, someone who had friends on both sides....

Which is why I have my doubts about that whole story.   :whistle:
Glenn Beck just talked about this on his show, and said he's going to try and have that person on his show.

Behind the talking head (I think a Bloomberg reporter) there was a scuffle going on the floor (someone raising their voice, a big group  of people surrounding her), I thought they were going to cut to that but they didn't, they panned more to the reporter instead. They did mention there have been a lot of procedural disagreements right then, implying that was what was going on.

Any way to find a video of that scuffle?

And Mechanicos continues to insult your intelligence when anyone dares warn about Fascism, because he asserts he has seen it in Iraq and knows it, and any comparisons to Mussolini or Hilter are absurd.

Yet here we have fruits that this is exactly the same kind of crap the Blackshirts and Brownshirts engaged in to establish their forms of despotism.
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

Guess I won't be giving Breitbart any more clicks.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Probably on CSPAN's website later. Look for the interview today with the Bloomberg reporter. It turned out to probably be a much ado about nothing and they cut away too quickly to really make heads or tails.

Wow.  You got submerged in Kool-Aid fast!  From just a few weeks ago, pondering whether you should vote for Trump (yeah, right), to a full scale war against rational thought on this forum.

It's a miracle!!  You've been reborn, @WAC!  Hallelujah!!



(And tattling at the same time.  How cool is that??)


Got to defend WAC here.  He had serious and sincere reservations about Trump. 

Many are voting for Trump over the alternative.  After watching the convention last night, it was mostly awesome and it is easy not to want to be too critical.

Scuffle? Scuffle?

The delegates should storm the stage and refuse to leave until a roll call vote on rules is taken.

I bet there are a lot more of them than there are security.

Manic or depressive?

That's a majority of the country right now, one way or the other.

From one source that was trying to be positive:  She would be the only first lady to have posed nude: In 2000, Melania was photographed in the buff for a GQ photoshoot - one memorable image had her handcuffed to a briefcase on board a private jet belonging to Trump, then her boyfriend. "We pushed the envelope a little," editor Dylan Jones says. "[It's] not exactly the kind of thing we could have asked anyone else to do – and we were surprised she said yes."

Melania was handcuffed to a briefcase with an open jewelry box in the frame.

Very symbolic if you ask me.
