So, I see we no longer have a big red link to our thread. ~sigh~ I thought I had found a home  **nononono*

No worries.  Just go to the Home Page, scroll down to the bottom where Recent Posts are and you'll find dozens of posts on this thread.  That other thread....the one that's pretty much deserted...not so much.  No wonder they need a BIG RED link.....lol.

Most UNDERreported story of the week.

Yes it most certainly is.

But the Trump fanatics don't care. 

Their prince has been "nominated" and that is all that matters to them, because they are convinced that he will stop the oceans from rising, the borders from being violated and corporations from stealing jobs.

They repeat that they are the grassroots and Trump represents the grassroots (an absurdity in itself) without any care or concern that the rules package voted on Monday just eliminated the grassroots from having any influence on decisions the GOP Establishment makes as to how their party is run, and who can be a candidate in their party.

They have convinced themselves Trump performed a hostile takeover of the GOP for the little people, and even when Trump lofts up McConnell and Ryan and Dole into entrenched leadership positions - they continue to scream out loud that Trump is the grassroots and that he will save the nation.

Trump finally found somebody to shoot.  This reads as if she wrote it with a gun to her head.  And, she implicates Melania in the plagiarism:

Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

Hey....is anybody compiling a list of Trump's scapegoats and sacrificial lambs yet?  Kind of along the lines of the Clintons' Deaths List, I expect the Trump list will grow exponentially....really fast now.

You are right - no big red link at the top, it has been removed. That is a typical Trump move - use power in any way to hide others who have a difference of opinion.

So she is a fan of Michelle Obama?  That's interesting.

None of that bothers the Trump faithful.

They are screaming at you and me to get behind their 'nominee' because "we have to stop Hillary" - having jumped through hoops of convolution to absolve the fact that Trump supported and funded the Clintons and other Marxist Communists like Bill DeBlasio.

There is praise of the Obama's and Trump had praise for Hillary (as a great Senator from NY), but watch Trump's guns (and those of his acolytes) remain firmly fixed on Conservatives who will not bend the knee.

Mistake no. 2.

I would rather she just didn't know what to say so decided to borrow from the last presumptive nominee's wife's speech.

Media means nothing to me - the reality of Muslims killing people does.  I live 30 minutes from Garland, Texas, where Muslim terrorists were killed, and from Dallas where a terrorist killed five policemen.  Maybe you live in a cave where Muslim killers won't find you.

I live in Boston, where Muslim terror has indeed struck. But I have no fear of people in hijabs and such, because I know that statistically I have a greater fear of being in a car accident then being the victim of a terrorist. And no that does not mean that we shouldn't be vigilant, but if someone wants to wear a hijab and work in a pharmacy, then more power to her. Because this is America.

It's what life will be like everywhere should Trump actually be awarded the Throne.  The only prominence that will exist is support for TRUMP.  Any opposition will be relegated to the basements until the trucks come to cart us off to camps.

Dissent will be quashed and removed, banned and silenced to great applause from those asserting Trump is saving the nation.

It is why I think Trump and his mobs pose a greater immediate danger to your liberty than Hildabeast and her Commies do.  You see it in their comments and behavior, which - let's be honest, mimic their Champion's behaviors and comments.

The Godfather references are possibly a lot closer to the truth than those of us joking about the parallels even know.

Well we already know that Trump's family was unable to vote for him in the NY primary because they couldn't switch their registration (from Democrat) early enough.  Now suddenly they're all solid pubbies?  Not bloody likely.

Well....no pro-Trump posters, any way.   Why are the pro-Trumpers being allowed to troll and inflame over here.  Why don't they stay over at their nice, safe, censored thread?  (rhetorical question since I know why, just pointing out their hypocrisy)
Cuz we can take it. So, they come wave their red flag in front of the bull over here. Doesn't bother me.

What happened to the speech written by Matthew Skully and John McConnell and what did Melania dislike about it?  (I have a theory in that, btw)
