I will. Trump ain't Jesus. He ain't "the last best hope of mankind." He ain't even Luke Skywalker.

Thousand years of darkness, my ass. Either she has a horrendously low opinion of people (she does) or her serial Daddy issues are running her mouth again (they are).

Come on, EC.  As a prolific, gifted writer who used to drink, you surely can empathize with Ms. Coulter's faux pas.   :laugh:

For example, I can see somebody using that analogy to express the importance of this time in our nation's history...a tipping point or sorts.

The Left has reached the point they have successfully banned words, purposely infiltrated Muslim terrorist cells into our country, and one of our two choices is Hillary Clinton?

The Supreme Court is bound to turnover in at least three positions, which can essentially destroy any chance of saving our country as we have known it all our lives.

A Leftist Supreme Court majority is "one hundred years of darkness"....coupled with a Leftist Ruling Class, academia and media.

So yeah....Donald Trump, if not Jesus, surely is Moses leading us out of the desert.   :laugh:

Democrats heads are exploding all over Washington tonight.

On November 3rd, I expect they will be exploding all over America.

And I am going to be smiling from ear to ear.

Because I am sick to death of decent people being lectured, insulted and denigrated by collectivists who pretend to be thoughtful, peaceable and kind while practicing hatred, and scheming to "radically transform" the greatest nation in human history. 

And I will gratefully thank the one imperfect person who made the improbable, possible: Donald Trump.

Glad you weighed in on this one (I see you as one of the more logical Trump supporters in here).  With all the Trump has recently stated, why don't you see him as a liberal??


Thanks, @libertybele

Was merely reacting to the thread replies as a whole.

I've said many times, that I don't care that Donald Trump is trying to appeal to liberals.   They vote too!

Hillary Clinton should be under arrest...not running for POTUS.  And many Bernie supporters share that POV.

To me, this election isn't about Democrat versus Republican.

It's Capitalism vs. European Socialsm.   It's the threat to the First Amendment (Fairness Doctrine), the Second Amendment (gun registration/taxation/confiscation) and the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court.

We all know what Hillary Clinton would do.   We aren't sure what Trump will do.

It's a no-brainer.

Justice Clarence Thomas will swear in Judge Amy Coney Barrett as an associate justice on the Supreme Court on Monday evening following her expected confirmation by the Senate.

“Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the official Constitutional Oath to Judge Amy Coney Barrett at the White House tonight,” a senior White House official said.

There's no delay ... Thomas is swearing her in at 9:00 pm tonight.  From that moment on, she's a Justice of the Supreme Court.

There's always a separate ceremony at the Court for new justices and it includes a swearing in by the Chief Justice.

And then the put on their robes for a photo and then presumably get to work.

Add this to the other things he HAS done,as well as the things he has TRIED to do,and he is the greatest US President in the history of our country.

Yet a few of you loons hate him and want to see him defeated because he "has bad manners","cheats on his wife","is rude to career politicians",or the biggest sin of all,is wealthy.

And I am going to be smiling from ear to ear.

Because I am sick to death of decent people being lectured, insulted and denigrated by collectivists who pretend to be thoughtful, peaceable and kind while practicing hatred, and scheming to "radically transform" the greatest nation in human history. 

And I will gratefully thank the one imperfect person who made the improbable, possible: Donald Trump.

It was suggested last evening on FOX, that she is in the "fight of her political life", and that since the GOP had the sufficient number of votes to confirm Justice Barrett, that McConnell made a deal with her and let her vote "no".

RINO's certainly weaken the party but unfortunately we don't have enough conservatives at present to do battle.  This has become an ongoing problem. That is why I was so elated that the entire Senate (except for Collins of course) stood   together and got Barrett confirmed.   Collins is done and she probably cost the GOP the Senate .... not a good thing.

@jafo2010 Good question.

If I lived in Maine, I would continue to vote for her, because with a 51 total vote, the issue passes...whatever it is.

Why would I give the current insane Democrat Party a  leg up....unless it was my leg and I was pissing on them.

On my walk I was thinking today that the nomination of Barrett by Mr. Trump, and the drama and excitement that was capped by her swearing in last night, provide a fitting climax for Mr. Trump's first term. And it proves why he has earned the right to serve another.

For all those who believed that he would never advance traditional-minded principles, for those who proclaimed he would never keep his promises, this refutes such arguments totally.

To the never-trumpers (some of whom inhabit this forum), this serves to repudiate them and reveal them for the "traitors to the cause" whom they are.

OK, then.
Onward to November 3rd and a second term...!

(And also, accolades are due to both Lindsey Graham, who guided the nomination through the committee hearings smoothly, and of course to Mitch McConnell, who delivered the votes in the Senate with a sure hand.)

I agree. Which is why I voted at the courthouse the second day they were open and accepting ballots. I figured they would be too busy the first day,and my bad leg keeps me from standing for long or walking far.

Took roughly 20 minutes from walking in the door,voting,and walking back out to my truck/

@bigheadfred

I don't think Trump is going to lose,even with all the Dim ballot box stuffing.

If he loses,look for a LOT of people to die,and most of them will be Dims.

Dims are only good and brave fighters when they are the only ones fighting,and they outnumber any white male opponent by at least 5 to 1.

Even then they wouldn't start anything unless they can sneak up behing you and sucker punch you in the back of the head so they can ratpack you.

My policy is the same as always. When I see them coming,I back up against the nearest wall and ask them to get together and decide who gets to die first,and to then "bring it,punks".

Somehow the 3 or 4 times I have done that,it seemed to make them hear their mamas calling them home for dinner.

Smart move on their part. Anybody that doesn't think I will kill them if they seriously threaten me is a soon to be dead fool.

Polls were open for one and a half weeks, and I drove by at least once a day with the line 40-50 folks long outside, not counting the folks inside.  I just could not stand it any longer.  So, I stopped mid week last week, stood in line 45 minutes to vote.  I felt much better afterwards.  My wife was mad at me that I went and did it without her.  LOL

There were 20 folks on the ballot going after Kellie Loeffler's Senate seat.  I was surprised to see that!  The winner has to get over 50%, or the top two vote getters have a runoff in a special election.

I still believe Trump will carry the dead head Republicans across the finish line.  And once he is installed for the 2nd term, I hope he cleans house, purging 50% of folks in the FBI, DOJ, and about 30 other agencies.  And I think he should freeze hiring, and red shirt all positions.  No position is replaced.  Bush and Obama fattened up government to the point we could go five years without hiring anyone.

And get us the hell out of Afghanistan.  I understand being involved in Iraq still, but end the Afghan debacle. 

And if it hasn't occurred to him, he needs to restructure, CDC, NIH, and half a dozen other agencies whose bureaucracy is many times what it needs to be.  I think the time has come to restrict projects to those that are deemed necessary, and for those that fit in the nice to have but not necessary, jettison them, and the resources doing them, via red shirting.  Four years of frozen hiring will save billions.

And stay the hell away from healthcare until 1.5 years into the 2nd term.  Get some thing done without getting bogged down with that nemesis.

@jafo2010

Can't find a single thing you wrote to argue with. Especially getting our troops out of the Muddle East. Should have happened years ago. We need to cut off all aid to them,also. How the HELL did we get into the "paying them to promise to be good" business,anyhow? Them them to "be good" because if they irritate or threaten us enough,we will crush them like the bugs they are.

I'm pretty certain that President Trump will go much further than that in his second term WRT the size of government.  I predict that he will move to shutter entire agencies if he can (depending on the makeup of congress of course) finally fulfilling promises made by others in the past.

The Loeffler race is essentially a GOP primary race between her and Collins.  The higher vote-getter will face (and easily defeat) the Dem in the runoff next month.

The race that upsets me is my 6th District Congressional race.  I dislike both candidates, one of whom lives in Tennessee while the other is both arrogant and lazy.
