The "wall" aside, I have no 'Buyer's Remorse' regarding my support and my vote for Donald J. Trump.

He's given 'me' Justice Gorsuch...he's 100% pro-business (job growth)...he's for a stronger defense and WILL destroy ISIS...and he will get a handle on our illegal immigration.

WTF more should we expect?

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Don't you have a certain Nostalgia for the "Losing" games of olde?

The olde McCain tango? The olde Romey shuffle? All to the tune of "Conservatives Are Always Victims?"

I actually read through four pages of that drivel. It's purt'near paranoid thunderdome over there, with a couple still patting each other on the back while calling everyone else not licking the effluent off the screen trolls and worse. They were on a n00b hunt when I closed the page. Now I have to go wash my laptop....

I'm not going to give them even one hit for any reason!

BFAC was another who suddenly popped up. There were a few, with old signup dates and little history, who were downright rabid. I was a fairly frequent poster there, too (Class of '99, 45K+ posts)

Good old BFAC...lol, from what I read, she was neither black or a captain (no link, though). She went crying to JimRob over my remarks to her (nothing personal, just debate), and JR lambasted me. No problem, I used to be a regular contributor, but no more.

I was Class of '98, like many who moved here.

Wall is being built, this original thread shown to be another lie by the media.
My understanding is that some already existing funding is being used to replace cyclone fence with the 20 ft. see-through steel wall. No new wall, however is being built that isn't replacing that existing barrier.

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.

I have to believe that BFAC is worth a fair amount of money to JR because he would allow her to attack longstanding members and even praise Bill Clinton as one of America's finest presidents.

It doesn't explain longstanding members like CringingNegativityNetwork who is nothing but a national socialist. That one has always had its lips attached to Trump's butt, says Obamacare is great and Trump will make only it bigger and better. He won't admit it but he wants full on communism. Wants taxpayers to support farms so they don't sell overseas. He's also suggested rounding up the homeless, unemployed, college students and anyone else he wants punished and sending them off to work on the farms (Gulags). The scumbag sounds like Pol Pot.

I don't know who 90% of the posters are on that site.  Most were inactive for years. Now suddenly, they are back.  Very strange.

And the nastiest peckerwoods from the primaries are nowhere to be seen.

Exactly. They're replacing some sections. (Exchanging 1 form of fence for another)

BFAC had the perfect, unassailable, screen name. Black, to cry racism, Female, to cry sexism, Army to demand the respect due a veteran, and Captain to show she (allegedly) wasn't just some grunt, but an officer and educated and all that, a real leader.
Attack any part of that and hordes would come to her rescue. Attack all of that (stolen valor or not) and you are lower than snake droppings. Perfect attack position. I didn't get kicked out, after the go-zillionth time I was accused of being a liberal and Hillary supporter, I had already been looking when I got invited here, and I liked it here, so I left there. A lot of us did, and I think we got most of the best.

You have to keep in mind that some of us were Conservative when Conservative wasn't 'cool'. When Rush (and others) made it cool to be Conservative, we got all sorts of people who were not Conservative who were there just to be cool. Then they moved on to the latest fad.

It's an improvement, but far short of that yuuuge wall that was supposed to happen.

Nice summation, SJ. IIRC, I referred to one of her posts that it was something one would hear from an REMF. She had no clue as to the reference, which told me she was a weekend warrior at best.

Here's the latest thread that seems to be worth linking and perusing, for comedic value, of course:

"Why did Trump betray us? (Why things never seem to change no matter who we send to Washington)"

GOP Briefing Room doesn’t go near pro-life stories where Trump and Pence have done so much, they just slander, it’s disgusting. They are the ones who always slander others as not being conservative but they don’t give 2 pennies about the unborn. That’s not conservative to me.

@DCPatriot, seriously?  How about we expect all of the things he promised he would do?  All of the things you insisted, up until now, he would do?

Repeal Obamacare
Tax cuts
Defund Planned Parenthood
Move the embassy to Jerusalem
Build the wall

And that's a start.

The article is spot-on, the comments show the degree of willful delusion.  **nononono*

Some people just lurk and only post when they get "exited" about something. But who knows what the truth is.

But it seems to me they would get "exited" more often.  Took Haircutter 7 years?  Sounds suspicious to me.

They are late on the talking points. The talking point today is Trump Won, he got border wall funding (actually taking credit for existing secure fence act funding).  They can't have it both ways.
