Gallup yesterday on the border wall:



That's scary all by itself. Which Mexican neighborhood in what sanctuary city did they sample?

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.

You know, I was just thinking.  Trump says we might renege on our long-standing promises to NATO, yet some expect him to keep his promises on judges.

Not likely.

NATO is obsolete.   They aren't Trump's "long-standing promises", so it's not fair and actually a strawman to connect it his promise on judges.

Plus, a GOP-led Congress will make him keep his SCOTUS promises.

Serious question: How many Trump supporters could name Mitch McConnell or pick him out of a lineup?

Glad to see you back in the land of the living.  I'm surprised you're not levitating from all the prayin' that went on for you!

sinkspur (whose posts I don't normally see because he's on my permanent ignore list) put this up:
"Last day and Cruz has stepped all over Donald's big day.
Let's roll."

OK, sink, I be a-rollin'!

No it's not and that's not what Trump meant either.

He talked about countries like Belgium or Germany should pay their bills up with Nato and not have us footing all the bills and doing all of the heavy lifting.

Trump taunts GOP in private donor meeting

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-taunts-republicans-meeting-225958#ixzz4F5Z9ea00

Could Trump possibly be any bigger a liar than he already is?  I honestly don't see how.

"They ran Ted Cruz out of the room!" he said. "There wasn’t a person in the room that liked him! … That's unity!"


There were plenty of people in the stadium that liked Cruz.  Hell, he got a standing ovation when he first took the stage.  The only ones booing were the Trump camp morons.

CNN headline says "Trump working behind the scenes to build unity".

What the hell is that supposed to mean? His problem isn't with the political class, its with the people. Apparently he thinks that if he gets the right people to kiss his butt, we will follow.

The man is out of touch.

He wasn't run out. He finished his speech and they booed as he left.

I have been watching this convention for several days now, and having been a political junkie since I was a kid, I feel qualified to say it is one of the most fake conventions I have ever seen.  With few exceptions, these speakers seem forced and inauthentic, as if they know they are trying to put lipstick on a pig. Pence was an exception, and there have been a few others. If they are trying to get me fired up they are failing miserably.

I think Trump scared Pence when he tried to give him a kiss.  WTH was that, anyway?

My Bad, apparently I have mispronouncing Melania's name, absolutely unintentional, my wife says I made it sound like a disease.

LOL ~ It's an unusual name, so that's understandable. I read an article in which Melania said she was going to age gracefully, and not get extensive surgery, etc., which is admirable considering she made her living as a model, but I'm not quite so sure she put that idea past the Donald.

It means that he is working with the establishment GOP to solidify his position, and to hell with the (little) people.

What's funny is that movie is called "The Wall". As in what Donald has based his entire campaign on building.

"Levin nailed him pretty well today. Not by name, but it was clear who he was referring to"

Thanks for the heads up. Also, Levin is a real close buddy of Hannity, so it must really hurt him to know what a Trump stooge he, Hannity, is. He forbids his listeners from naming names when it gets into dangerous territory concerning his friends.

He's hit the dump button on callers lots of times when thry name drop. It obviously pains him.
