Thank you so much for illustrating a perfect example of how Never Trumpers lose their ability to reason.

I'm sorry it was above your understanding, but it makes a very good point and I don't have the time nor energy to try to break it down for you.


If you can't see the similarities in style to others mentioned, that's not the fault of anyone else.  I'm wondering how much longer Tillerson will stick around, the way he's getting jerked around by Trump et al.  He's getting yanked here and there for damage control, and then not getting the support to get positions filled...just like with others. 

I guess many people thought that by electing a businessman, they'd get someone who was a competent manager, but we got Trump and his disruptive style.   It's good for some things, but highly damaging for others.

Lol!   We love ya.   We'll be good!  Promise!    :whistle:

We do respect you and the impossible job you have.  I will point out, however, that it wasn't 4 posts into the thread when a few people began to compare Trump to Hitler and Mussolini and that's when it began to degenerate.

When you managed to work up the time and energy, come back with some sense and some respect for the other posters here.

The fact is that you didn't show up and stayed mute until some Trump supporters gave them what not.

Only then did you ask nicely.

DCPatriot, sorry we are not up to your standards.  Most of us have jobs, this is a large and lively forum.  If something is not reported we may not see it immediately.  Perhaps another forum would be more to your exacting standards.

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.

Shouldn't the reporter explain why this "senior WH aide" could be "familiar" with the conversation? Was he in the meeting, or was the shouting so loud it was heard in the hallway?


What do you think of when you say the word 'familiar'.


Do you know how to drive a stick? I've never done it, but I am familiar with it.


A guy saying he is 'familiar' with the conversation most likely means that he heard about it from somebody, who may have heard about it from somebody, who heard something like that happened.


Yeah sure. That sounds good enough to publish. Why not? After all, it is possible that maybe it could have happened. And that's all I need for the FRONT PAGE! Baby! Hell yeah!

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I guess.

But I'm worried that even that would be a near disaster, the way we've had course reversals back and forth.  At least Mussolini sent the trains in one direction at a time!

INVAR You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.

Well, thank you for your kind offer and concern for my satisfaction and relief, but I be straight, married 31 years and I happen to get one from the wife almost every morning - right before I give my wife her due.

Yeah, they wanted everyone to board, but they didn't know the destination for sure. It keeps changing. It's hard to support something that won't hold still.

I knew a "gal" like that.  Whoever came up with the Hot vs Crazy chart had that group pegged (Hot but not cray-cray, can't be a real person.  Ergo tranny, QED.)

@ Mod2 Apparently, the old adage is true.  It's the person who hits last who gets caught and punished  I know you have a job to do but I'm still a bit annoyed that out of all the insults traded mine, which were mild in comparison, was the one that got you riled up.

IMO, it's not about you.  Or me.  Despite said moderator's attempt.

It's about the uneven moderating.
