Irma’s wrath confirms Trump’s wisdom in cutting that deal with Democrats
New York Post, Sep 10, 2017
With Florida taking a horrific pounding from Irma so soon after Harvey’s flooding farther west, it’s now plain that President Trump was right to take that deal with Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi last week.
By agreeing to kick the can on the debt-limit and spending battles three months down the road, Trump avoided having Washington locked in another inside-baseball battle when so many Americans are suffering.
Maybe the president could’ve been nicer to GOP leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan while taking the Dem offer. But the grim truth is that the Republicans’ elaborate strategizing has failed utterly so far this year.
It’s September, and ObamaCare remains unrepealed, unreplaced and unfixed. Any kind of tax reform or tax cut is now dicey, and even funding the government through the end of the next fiscal year is almost certainly going to require another one of those ginormous, swamp-feeding omnibus bills.
<snip>
Moving change through Congress may sometimes require risking a public-relations hit, but it’s just crazy to fight such battles in the middle of huge natural disasters. Irma’s devastation is just more proof that Trump was the one seeing clearly here.

Seeing clearly...or, is Trump just covering up secret deals with the democrats for their help in passing Russian-crafted legislation in congress? That's my bet.
-
So we're supposed to be OK with playing politics with disaster relief?
Trump supports it so it must be good.

The irony here is that President Trump, played politics with said relief, so that victims in Red States won't be 'victims' in political games.
Plus, he showing us all how a businessman/leader sets priorities when it comes to natural disasters and the relief to follow.
BTW....find it fascinating that this never even registers to the average Never Trumper. ...so blinded by the hate, they are.

The question I keep asking is what is so bad about getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds?
-

LOL. Get it right, Mitch and Ryan were the ones playing politics with disaster relief, not Trump he did what he had to to get those funds.
-
And... even while (still) managing to bash conservatives.
1. The so called "conservatives" the measure was aimed at were Ryan and McConnell, most loved by do-nothing fans.
2. Exit polls reveal that 15% of so called conservatives, voted for Hillary.
3. McCain, Romney, Kasich, JebBush and others will assure you they are conservatives.
"Conservative" is a poorly defined word these days. Like it or not.
These days, Trump will state in 144 characters or less, he needed to move fast as the winds and waters were moving fast.
No time for petty politicians to play games, holding public safety hostage.
-
Trump's sycophants here will do whatever it takes to support their orange God. When you attack Trump, they feel as if you have attacked them personally.
It's the strangest thing ever.

Ehh..... I'm speaking of the conservatives that more likely voted for Cruz.... who wouldn't be caught dead voting for Hillary. In other words, I'm talking about real conservatives, not the ones that pretend not to be leftists ......ie the usual suspect RINOs.
Poorly defined is just an excuse some here use as they bash those of us that DO actually adhere to conservative values, ideology and policies/issues.

The question I keep asking is what is so bad about getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds?
Where is the CLEAN BILL of JUST recovery funds that we taxpayers will have to front in ever-increasing amounts?
Where is it?
Where is JUST the bill for disaster relief and not the pork-laden horseshit behemoth of a spending increase Trumpian imbeciles are championing as Solomon-esque wisdom their Dear Leader has done?

Come on dear, you know the truth of their mindset as well as I do: if you did not vote for Trump - and you do not cheer, salute and support him now and every single thing he does and says, then you are a Hillary supporter and NOT a Conservative. We were told that ad-infinitum.
It's the same bullshit one gets from those who insist that if you do not support the pope - you are not a Christian at all.
-
Right...

That's a ridiculous statement. It was not the time to put part of our country in danger by more endless haggeling.
-
The question I keep asking is what is so bad about getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds?
I want to write something, but I don't want it to be distorted nor taken the wrong way, @jpsb.
The question you ask is exactly how liberals push their agenda. "What is so wrong with [result]?" --
where the result is provided sans consequencesor other conditions -- leads people to have to answer "nothing" or look like they are heartless. "What's wrong with feeding everyone?" "What's wrong with healthcare for everyone?" etc. It makes it look like Socialism is GRAND!
The thing is, nothing's wrong with the results...but the key is that they're asking the wrong question. Feeding everyone's fine, but that's not the issue. Healthcare for everyone is fine, but that's not the issue.
And "getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds" is fine....
....but that's not the issue!
And conservatives realize that, so that's why conservatives aren't answering your red herring.
-
LOL. Get it right, Mitch and Ryan were the ones playing politics with disaster relief, not Trump he did what he had to to get those funds.
This is the exact reason why I suspended my normal revulsion at dealing with the Democrats in this one instance. It was obvious to me and just about everybody else Ryan and Chinless were going to take a stab at wringing something out of somebody to get the Hurricane relief bill, and that would have gone poorly for them and the GOP whether they realized it or not. The GOP "leadership" in Congress have developed tin ears WRT the voters' opinion of them.
In effect, Trump saved Ryan and McConnell from themselves. And I say this not as an Ever Trump nor a Never Trump. I'm not in a camp, I'm just wanting to see the right things happen.

Thank God the Wise and Powerful Trump extended the debt limit for 3 months. Just thank God.

Damn Invar, you're casting me as a heretic! Lol
I love the Jesuits, though I disagree with the current Pope most of the time. He's doing his best to go down in history as the first, and last, Jesuit pope.

How would a line item veto work on something like that? Anyone know?

No such thing anymore.
The GOP congressional leadership wanted 18 months.
Yes, because each and every one of us can call our credit card company and get an 18th month extension on having our over-the-line credit limit raised to whatever we feel like spending.
I'm beginning to think the Democrats can't hold a candle to the insane Big Government Socialism and irresponsible malfeasance the Republican party is demonstrating.
-
No such thing anymore.
Ok, thanks, wasn't aware of that.
-
Delayed reaction..... LMAO!
(sorry)
I just find it funny when emotions are attributed to something like a hurricane (ie Irma's "wrath"). Like a female forecaster that recently claimed of Irma... that hurricanes don't "like" going over land....they prefer water......lolol.
To liberals, everything is emotion-based, after all.

I live in Friendswood and my parents, about a mile away, had 18" of flood water. I/ we don't need an increase in the debt ceiling. We need FEMA authorization. Even at a few billion $, the debt increase is pure politics, with no regard for flood victims

Their mindset has been to demonize real conservatives here AND to demonize and bashTed Cruz, whom we real conservatives all supported in the primary. I definitely am a 'real conservative' but I guess I'm not really a 'real Christian'.... since I am becoming convinced that this pope is the False Prophet spoken of in Revelations. He fits the description more and more every day. I'm just wondering who and where his b-buddy, the Anti-Christ, is right about now. Don't see anyone that charismatic...yet.

Just remember and recall, that they will have the power to deceive the very Elect if God permits it. Given how easily Christians fell into supporting homosexuality and homosexual marriage, it would be a fool indeed to assume they are immune from being deceived.
Then again, look at all the worship of a politician we have seen illustrated from those supposedly 'on our side'. Some of it puts the acolytes of Obama to shame.
-
I understand the tactical reasons for doing it, but it is risky and not something that can be done as a long term strategy.
Fortunately there was not much at play here. Hurricane aid is a no-brainer, and the debt ceiling is an irrelevant kabuki theater whether extended three months or three years. So while the Dems think they really got something they really didn't.
I agree with article on the GOP's 'elaborate strategizing'. It's like they want to nibble at the edges, slow moving tiny steps, and play small ball jenga in hopes that some day, some way, they are going sneak up on the Dems and bring them down, like the 'sequester' deal.

I live in Sugar Land, work in Katy.
The last numbers I had heard was that FEMA had over 500K request and had processed 180K of them, so far.
That was about a week ago.
Have you heard any update?

Most of that 'talk' consisting of glories, lauds and honor for Trump working with Pelosi and Schumer to raise that debt ceiling that was rightfully noted by Victor to be nothing but politics with no regard for actual disaster victims. That 'never-ending talk' continues to this very moment.

Prior to Trump securing funds for FEMA, FEMA was broke and unable to help anyone including your parents. Trump got the few billions FEMA needed.
Without the debt increase gov would have been forced to shutdown and might have defaulted on our debt. Now I really don't care if the worthless bureaucrats lose a few days of work but defaulting on the debt would be bad. And IIRC gov shutdown never goes well for Republicans.
-

By that reckoning why didn't Trump just side with the GOP version and raise the debt ceiling for 18 months and give Congress a blank check to spend it on whatever their hearts and constituencies demand? I mean, we might as well just get rid of that 'debt ceiling' obstacle altogether now, and just spend, spend, spend on everything all at once as opposed to actually creating a clean disaster relief bill that the rest of us already-stretched-to-the-limit taxpayers will have foot by doing without to bail out yet more dependents on Big Federal Mama.

Hey, it was only for 3 more moths. What's the big deal? Showed those dumb Republicans that wanted 18 months. We can't let the perfect get in the way of the good. 3 months. Be happy. All is well citizen.

I don't consider Cruz a real conservative he was for amnesty, he wanted vast increases in visas, he was for fast tracking TPP. He lied repeatedly on the campaign trail. Plus he knows he is ineligible to be POTUS since he is a natural born citizen of Canada not the USA.
Cruz does do a good job of fooling folks into thinking he is the only true conservative, LOL. I will give him that but he has not fooled me. I have watched him closely these last 4 years and I've concluded he is a phony. Still better than a rat so I will vote for him in 2018 if he is on the ballot.

Yup you NeverTrumpers can bring Cruz up whenever you want, as often as you want and everything is fine. But if a Trump supporter happens to point out Cruzs' considerable pimples all hell break lose. Fine this is after all your "safe place".

Why would I want to get this thread locked? The article is very positive towards Trump and no one has submited anything of substance to detract from the fact that Trump got FEMA the money FEMA needs to deal with Harvey and Irma. It was not me that got "off topic" I just responded to the "real conservative" BS I read all the time.

Oh that's clever.... to suggest Trump made a deal with Pelosi and Schumer's agenda to give the Republicans time to get their act together is priceless! Pure bovine scatology pap, but clever!
I don't fall for it.
Like every other typical liberal, self-identifying "Conservatives" now also believe money grows on trees, just like your average Leftist. They think Congress should appropriate whatever it can or the Executive should just make deals with whomever he can to print more money out of thin air to hand out to whomever the government has decreed are the beneficiaries of everyone else's hard-earned money.
Then go on camera and try to shame everyone opposed to what was done because it's "for disaster relief' and "we cannot play around with disaster aid" - ignoring the fact FEMA exists with an annual budget to handle and deal with disasters on a major scope already.
And if, disasters dwarf the existing 17 billions - a clean bill for relief should be drafted, passed and signed.
But no. DeeCee has to skim their cut of whatever funds there are for themselves first. Get rich off of a disaster because more funds are needed.
Trump got FEMA the money FEMA needs to deal with Harvey and Irma.
FEMA already has an annual budget to the tune of billions. The debt ceiling and all the bloated trillions to extend government's open-ended credit card has nothing to do with disaster relief.
But you knew that already.
This is just about making Trump out to be the Beneficial Dear Leader that can weed whack Congress that you want to make him out to be.
Trump is just filling the swamp with more stagnant water and money wrung from our pockets while calling it disaster relief.

I have been posting on the internet since 1984ish. First on usenet news, later on Free Republic and now here, twitter and a few other sites. I really do not understand the "value" of staying "on topic". Threads take on a life of their own, that is one of the things that makes it fun to read them and post in them. The little seqways (sp) are sometimes very informative and sometimes down right stupid. But usually interesting. Rigidly enforcing a "Stay on Topic" rule to shutdown unpopular views is IMHO not a good idea.

Well, I for one, hate a thread going down the drain of *another* BS session about Cruz's NBC status. Taking the scenic route here and there is one thing.

So his way of getting them to do that is becoming best friends with the Liberals?
Bull (blank). That's not leadership. That's a distinct and purposeful lurch to the left.
And how many more years of 3 month CR's are we going to have to endure? We've already dealt with 8 years of no budgets and basically a slush fund in place of a real fiscally responsible budget.
If you think that Congress is honestly going to get it's act together in three months on it's own? I've got some ocean front property in West Texas I'd like to sell you.

There is no rigid enforcement of a "Stay on Topic" rule here, as I'm sure you well know. There is a "do not troll and intentionally disrupt threads" rule here.

Good luck on your job ... I wouldn't want it.

So are the outbreaks of cookie recipes and pet pictures scattered throughout all categories considered thread jacking, or just those posts about ted cruz? I'd appreciate some clarity.

JR has pretty much ruined FR by banning silencing any and all that disagree with him. I've been there since 1999 and I've seen him run off a lot of talent.

So do the outbreaks of cookie recipes and pet pictures scattered throughout all categories considered thread jacking, or just those posts about ted cruz? I'd appreciate some clarity.
I have a hypothetical; if I called you a pu$$y, would it be considered a personal insult or just a comment on your avatar?

There is no rigid enforcement of a "Stay on Topic" rule here, as I'm sure you well know. There is a "do not troll and intentionally disrupt threads" rule here.
Okay, I see the point.

Because you can be rational, and please take that as the compliment it was meant. I believe that the majority here despite some occasional heated disagreements, we are only human after all, settle into a rational discourse with just a modicum of sniping.

I occasionally go over to weather underground and take on the global warming wackos. I mostly do that in the winter since WU is a excellent source for info on tropical systems and I would not want cause havoc and chaos at a time when folks needs good info.
I personally do not feel AGW is all that bad and very much over blown by the zealots. I present good info, from reliable sources in a polite manner.
I usually get banned (a timeout) within 15 to 20 minutes and all my posts are deleted. Some people just really do not want to hear an opposing view.
-
JR has pretty much ruined FR by banning silencing any and all that disagree with him. I've been there since 1999 and I've seen him run off a lot of talent. It wouldn't be so bad if his views stayed consistent but with JR you just never know what group is on the outs today. The in crowd over there just loves to zot, it is a game for them.
The class of '99 contained some really smart people including me. Most are gone.

I generally stay away from discussing Cruz, I have no interest to and the subject always triggers endless arguments.
I do appreciate good manners on internet discussions. They seem to be rarer these days. In the past, by the time a president is nine months into his administration, intraparty bickering has usually ended. Not this time.

Sorry to interrupt the current and coming knee jerks here ... but this is important:
How utterly absurd, @Right_in_Virginia
There is no 'seeing clearly' in this. It's a deal with the devil... And that never works out. Unless you're another devil.
-
The irony here is that President Trump, played politics with said relief, so that victims in Red States won't be 'victims' in political games.
Astonishing discontinuity in that statement.
Plus, he showing us all how a businessman/leader sets priorities when it comes to natural disasters and the relief to follow.
You mean 'utter irresponsibility' there, right?
So much is lost in translation in trumpsplaining.

The question I keep asking is what is so bad about getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds?
There isn't a single person in either house that wouldn't have voted through a clean bill with a roll call - And Irma waiting in the wings. Nobody needs those optics.
Playing politics with it, at least the politics should be going in the right direction.
What will we now have to do to cover Irma... with Jose in the wings.
Watch and see.
Now that relief funds can be held hostage, they will be.

3. McCain, Romney, Kasich, JebBush and others will assure you they are conservatives.
"Conservative" is a poorly defined word these days. Like it or not.
So will most trump supporters, when they are not either...
The definition for Conservative remains the same. Those standing upon the bedrock truth of Conservative principles are indeed the only ones who can claim Conservatism. Conservatism IS as Conservatism DOES.
These days, Trump will state in 144 characters or less, he needed to move fast as the winds and waters were moving fast.
No time for petty politicians to play games, holding public safety hostage.
Unmitigated bovine excrement.

I want to write something, but I don't want it to be distorted nor taken the wrong way, @jpsb.
The question you ask is exactly how liberals push their agenda. "What is so wrong with [result]?" --
where the result is provided sans consequencesor other conditions -- leads people to have to answer "nothing" or look like they are heartless. "What's wrong with feeding everyone?" "What's wrong with healthcare for everyone?" etc. It makes it look like Socialism is GRAND!
The thing is, nothing's wrong with the results...but the key is that they're asking the wrong question. Feeding everyone's fine, but that's not the issue. Healthcare for everyone is fine, but that's not the issue.
And "getting the victims of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds" is fine....
....but that's not the issue!
And conservatives realize that, so that's why conservatives aren't answering your red herring.
This is brilliant.

Trump wants congress to do it job and part of that job is putting together a budget. He just gave them three months to show they are capable of doing their job.
That is complete BS. We have been operating for years with myriads of 'continuing resolutions' which means we have had years and years of no budgets, thus no accountability for what it costs this government and what they spend money on.
It is a shell game, and it will remain a shell game. 3 months won't solve a damn thing.

Thank you for asking that question.. See, that's the problem right there. The definition of off topic seems to be arbitrarily set depending on the moderator. Say something politically controversial he/she doesn't like, get a time out. But page after page of off topic quirky pie pronunciations? Hey, no problem for the in-crowd.

Most people in Michigan call them roundabouts but I just call them a cluster f***.
I use the same term, (or circle jerk), but have occasionally referred to them (the ones with raised centers) as "snowdrift accumulators". No matter which way the wind blows, it will drift.

Do quirky off-topic pie pronunciations trigger you? Are they cause for verbal bloodletting? Perhaps the management needs to reevaluate policy if that is the case.

Those are the rules at this forum. If you don't like it ...
I see, 15+ posts about pies is OK. "Rules for thee but not for me".

Yum! Now you made me just go open a can of corned beef!
Now I remember... We used to get cans of roast-beef hash, too. I'll have to get some!
Corned beef comes in a can? Did you mean corned beef and hash?

Ted Cruz is in the news today, I was going to post an article on it but I figured that would get me a time out so I didn't. It would have been a interesting and fun thread. Oh well, see how that works.

Well then I am going to get some. I've only seen corn beef and hash which I love. I'll take an iron skillet and put corned beef hash on one side and wolf brand chilly on the other side. Cook at a high heat until both are done. Yummy, get a little chilly on your fork then a little corn beef hash.
That is my cheap and easy dinner when I don't feel like really cooking.

Off topic posts absolutely do not concern me; I have a scroll button and an off button and use both liberally. But, shutting down a poster with an opinion on the subject, who responded to something someone said about Sen. Cruz, that does concern me. Both are off topic, but only one triggers a warning.
Greatest feature ever invented for online political discussions: the scroll button. I ignore most of the on-topic posts here so I certainly have no problem zipping past irrelevant (to me) posts.

I kinda like Ted Cruz, I voted for him three times last election. But I recognize he is another professional politician with lots of pimples. I just get annoyed when he is presented as "the one true conservative" he's not. I'll just leave it at that. And get back on topic.
Pies and Corned Beef! Best way to cook corned beef is in a pressure cooker, melts in your mouth and great for a juicy Rubin.

As a young man I lived in Germany for 3 years. I don't know how they make apple pies there but they are the best I ever tasted, much better then American apple pies. And yes Dutch crumples on top rules.

Oh, but I have a marvelous consistency in my love of pies... Any pies... Except lemon meringue and key lime, which I do recognize as pie, and do love - But it's a love i'd cheat on, and mean to.
As to the rest, they are all so wonderful, to include a good chocolate or banana pie.
My tip top favorites though: Dutch Apple/apple/ala-mode/whatever, Mississippi Mud Pie, and Cherry, warm and ala-mode. And cherry would share a near space with Huckleberry in the same fashion.
All that followed closely by Banana Cream and Pecan (PEE-can) - Though I find Pecan to be to rich and I normally can't have too much of it.

Don't leave out lemon meringue...

Folks hereabouts tend to like hybrid apple pies - Apple-Strawberry, or Apple Rhubarb... All good btw (Strawberry is another dead-on favorite). But nothing, and I mean nothing beats my mother's Dutch Apple - garnered from my grandmother on my father's side (Dutch).
The difference you see between Germany and here is very probably heirloom apples. Apples in our supply chain are awful by comparison. If you want a good pie, find a farmer with an old tart tree in your area and make the pie from that.
And hold on to something at the taste test, because you are likely to swoon. :)

I didn't... see high up in my post, w/ Key Lime

So I wonder...is this "dinner" a natural follow up to this story? Does it make sense to bring some of the "moderate" Dems like Manchin in to talk turkey about tax cuts, or is trying to build on the Hurricane thing a fool's errand.

Yes that makes sense, apple pies in Germany were not as sweet as apples pies here. German apple pies were also more dense. Get two pies of similar size and the German one weights much more then the American one. Now I am talking about store bought pies not homemade ones. The only pie I a capable of making is chocolate pudding pie with a store bought crust and canned whip cream on top.
Thanks for the tip.

And I haven't tried Elderberry pie.
It must be fabulous if it tops Blackberry Cobbler. And you know, it must be made from hand picked berries. Store bought berries are all fully ripe. You must also have the close to ripe and partially ripe berries too, to give it some tartness.

When I was a teenager working at Knotts Berry Farm the bakery occasionally burned (okay maybe on purpose) some of the Boysenberry pies and employees could buy them for a quarter, funny thing is I don't care for it all now.

Irma’s wrath confirms Trump’s wisdom in cutting that deal with Democrats
New York Post, Sep 10, 2017
With Florida taking a horrific pounding from Irma so soon after Harvey’s flooding farther west, it’s now plain that President Trump was right to take that deal with Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi last week.
By agreeing to kick the can on the debt-limit and spending battles three months down the road, Trump avoided having Washington locked in another inside-baseball battle when so many Americans are suffering.
Maybe the president could’ve been nicer to GOP leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan while taking the Dem offer. But the grim truth is that the Republicans’ elaborate strategizing has failed utterly so far this year.
It’s September, and ObamaCare remains unrepealed, unreplaced and unfixed. Any kind of tax reform or tax cut is now dicey, and even funding the government through the end of the next fiscal year is almost certainly going to require another one of those ginormous, swamp-feeding omnibus bills.
<snip>
Moving change through Congress may sometimes require risking a public-relations hit, but it’s just crazy to fight such battles in the middle of huge natural disasters. Irma’s devastation is just more proof that Trump was the one seeing clearly here.

Well, one of you Southern gals has to teach me the secret of a Mississippi Mud Pie. Everybody up north goes dull in the eye when I say those words.
I am currently becoming enamored of a darlin little Arkansas sweet pea... But unfortunately, she has a serious handicap. She makes cornbread, biscuits and hush puppies with the best of them, but confectionery baking is not her strong suit at all (according to her, not me)...So no relief there. I am on my own for the cookies, pies, cakes and such :shrug:

I think we do pretty well at discussing serious topics.
The title throws me, though.
An inanimate object is anthropomorphized to justify laud handing the Democrats an unnecessary and clear victory in a textbook case of 'how not to negotiate'.
As I have stated (not sure if it was on this thread), that the 'great communicator' could have tweeted something to the effect of "Congress wants to hold up hurricane relief by stacking stuff on the bill. Contact them and give 'em hell for it. Tell them to pass a clean bill. " and been the voice of the People, pushing for just hurricane aid, without the usual Beltway Games, and holding the collective feet of the COngress to the fire.
It's a missed opportunity, not only to shame the Congress into action, but to unite the public behind him, and now the Dems know they can mess with any essential legislation and get their way, and like as not Trump will come hat in hand to them.
Some deal. Some brilliance.

Agreed. I don't think this was the stunning move many think it is, but it's hard to say because the public has become so jaded about the process. I don't have faith if, he asked, people would ring their Congressman's phone off the hook, because the media has them hating him so much.
Yeah, yeah...so what kind of pie do you like?

Agreed. I don't think this was the stunning move many think it is, but it's hard to say because the public has become so jaded about the process. I don't have faith if, he asked, people would ring their Congressman's phone off the hook, because the media has them hating him so much.
Yeah, yeah...so what kind of pie do you like?
I like just about any pie. I'm not so hot on Key Lime, but I like banana cream pie, chocolate pie, cherry, juneberry, chokecherry, plum, peach, apple, strawberry-rhubarb, sour cream and raisin, lemon meringue, Boston Cream Pie (although that is sorta cake, too), blackberry, raspberry, chicken pot (hee hee), Shepherd's, mincemeat, pumpkin, peecan, and most any I might have left out.
Throw barbecue in a pie crust, and I'm happy.

BBQ pie. I'm going to have to think about that one. Could be good. Maybe use a cornmeal crust?

He comes back with the exact same shtick, nothing different in his routine. Still refuses to see or acknowledge his own side's responsibility in anything here. That is the real pity.

Never had rhubarb in anything, much less pie. Don't care for mincemeat in any form. But I make a dynamite French Silk Pie (chocolate with whipped cream) at Christmas time. It's almost sinful.

Anything crispy and flaky.

That looks more like a Shepard's Pie, with Beans subbed for mashed potatoes.

The rhubarb adds significant tartness. The French Silk Pie sounds great!

Corned beef comes in a can? Did you mean corned beef and hash?
You can get hash made with roast beef as well as with corned beef. It's good.
-

It's more than the snark, RIV, it's the personal insults that I find most trying.
In the past several months I've watched as smart, articulate posters come here, be greeted and then find themselves on the receiving end of these personal insults. Then, one by one, I notice their absence. Pity.
@RoosGirl has a pretty good point, @aligncare. You quoted a post from @Right_in_Virginia that had a personal attack on RG, then you complained about snark and personal attacks in your follow-up. That's pretty ironical, don't you think?

In defense of Aligncare, I'm sure that's what he meant.
You are in part correct. I don't like personal insults and I do strive hard not to use to them.
But, I also know that generally when people are punched, they tend to punch back. So in defense of RIV, she was a counterpuncher in this instance, and I've noticed in other instances as well. When insults go flying, it's typically she that gets hit with the first insult. That's what I see: RIV responding in kind. Well at least she uses graceful taunts in return.
I'm the same way. You can say I'm wrong, question my facts, you can insult Trump with any name in the book, that's your privilege. I don't care about that. I do care however that members not be allowed to insult me personally. And if I'm not mistaken, forum rules have something to say about that.

Mmm, that corned beef in a can brings back childhood memories. For some reason, my mother served it with a poached egg. We were full of protein, that's for sure.

I saw it. I may disagree about who started what (it can be hard to tell in these threads, and it makes me glad I'm not a Mod tasked with trying to sort that stuff out), but I can agree that people who get punched tend to punch back.

Speaking of pies, I've made two apple pies to donate to a festival my church is sponsoring. I froze them, and am a nervous wreck hoping they'll turn out okay once baked. I've never baked frozen pies before.

I haven't had deviled ham in YEARS. Love it...nice & salty (salt being my main addiction currently). Love corned beef too (must be my Irish half). Only problem is.... corned beef is waaay too expensive these days.

I hope that's not the case...I'd hate to see the place become a mirror version of another place we know about. If you know them, please encourage them to stay! It disheartens me too. I'm not on either "side," I just like talking to people.

Probably the pack mentality they face here. Where anyone that doesn't condemn every breath Trump takes is set upon. Not unlike a mirror image of TOS. Only here they don't get booted just told they are whining if they engage the moderators.

With so many Trump detractors here I notice when supporters show up, and notice when they go silent.

Of the veterans there are many: flowers, longmire, MACSOG, haven't seen Lando around, Mesaclone had been very active but no more. Many more. Just look at the membership list and forum stats. Lots of familiar names, gone.

Hurting America was nominating a lying fool to head the party leaving it a contest between that and the totally corrupt criminal Hillary. And when you are reminded of that choice you claim it is an attack against America. You chose the "lesser" evil and now you have it. We all have it... And frankly the people who did this to us should be called out on it. You don't want to be reminded of "the wall" but it was "the wall" that justified all that was wrong with Trump. Everything else was ignored THE WALL was all important. You were played like a fool and don't want to be reminded of it. To bad.

@driftdiver first and foremost if there is a Hell, as the scripture so indicates, I will be there roasting long before you are, based on age alone.
I disagree with your assertion that the NT'ers (whatever that is) are screwing up Threads, sure there's a few BUT it's all free will, and the AT'er's also pull that crap, neither are as prevalent as some here (like you for instance) like to indicate.

And when you are reminded of that choice you claim it is an attack against America. You chose the "lesser" evil and now you have it. We all have it... And frankly the people who did this to us should be called out on it. You don't want to be reminded of "the wall" but it was "the wall" that justified all that was wrong with Trump. Everything else was ignored THE WALL was all important. You were played like a fool and don't want to be reminded of it. To bad.
Yet those people's vote counts as much as yours or mine. Think about that.
So you can sit here hurling insults calling them a fool or you can start working at getting their vote next time.

Thanks for the gracious defense @DCPatriot
Well hell, "two years" of Trump is but a blip on the screen. Some of us have 'known' you for a decade or more.
...it's their loss. :laugh:

Freedom928, is one I recall. He left after a quick opus complaining this was a leftist site, and Reagan's picture on the home page was deceptive.
Of the veterans there are many: flowers, longmire, MACSOG, haven't seen Lando around, Mesaclone had been very active but no more. Many more. Just look at the membership list and forum stats. Lots of familiar names, gone.
Some probably wearied of the personal attacks on their character or just felt uncomfortable with the tenor here.
Well....with all due respect.... since this is by no means a "leftist site"... not even close.... perhaps the real reason he left was more due to his delusional perception (just a guess) of things?
Don't know about the others you mentioned ....but I suspect they left due to butt-hurt feelings about the forum having 'changed' by allowing folks that are anti-Trump to post here too. No more safe space and "freedom of speech for me but not for thee" here.
It was their option to stay or leave. Right?

longmire the alt-right dude. I don't think he "left". I think he was banned after repeated warnings and timeouts.
What you really want is not to be challenged. Just another echo chamber like FR.
-
That doesn't mean the OP loses the absolute right to request posters stay on topic... or leave the thread.
I didn't see anyone suggest such a thing. In fact, she was asked a couple of times what type of pie she likes. ^-^
-
Oh dearie, here we go again: insufficient worshipping of Trump is now savagery committed against those bright articulate Trump worshippers.
:facepalm2:
Yep
Why is it such hideous sacrilege to discuss pies, and be off topic, when fomenting the NT/AT war again, tediously, without end seems to be okay, even if it's off topic, too?
Or is it just civil discussion that's the problem?
We could spend endless pages flogging the dead horse of how utterly stupid, how tone deaf, how unpopulist the immediate turn to the political enemies of conservatism in complete prostrated capitulation was. How that established a precedent the Democrats are banking votes with even now, and will in the future. How unnecessary, when all he had to do was pop a presser and say to the PEOPLE that as soon as the Congress put a clean and unencumbered relief bill on his desk he'd sign it. It would be in Congress' hands, and the whole bloody lot would be in the hot seat.
Or not. That's the third time in two days I have articulated those points, and they are ignored for the most part.
So, what's to discuss? :shrug:
PIE! Something many of us like and fun to talk about.
But that's not enough drama, devoid of opportunities to tongue lash people from the comfort of your keyboard.
D@mnit, it's so hard to be a dark cloud in a sunny sky!
What is the purpose of dragging this off topic from a pleasant topic (PIE!) right past Trump's dumbassed capitulation to his former donor recipients and others, to an unpleasant sniping and bitching version of being off topic?
Or is it just to wreck a thread where people were having too much fun?
-
Because they want a Trump worshipping echo chamber. Not a forum that discusses Conservative ideas.
@INVAR notice how they leave out the ones that left because they complained about this place being too pro Trump. There's a few names they left out that are on that particular list.
Both extremes want the other to shut up and go away...they both want echo chambers... @XenaLee hit the nail on the head...the majority here are NOT to the extreme on either side of the Trump debate.
And neither is the country. Most want to give him a chance or the benefit of the doubt...but he's his own worst enemy.

You still seem angry with individuals here who voted for Trump. So, you're angry with me? Someone you don't know.
I'm not upset with NeverTrumpers because the didn't vote for Trump – obviously because he won – I'm upset with one issue only: personal insults to long standing members here. That's it. That's the whole ball of wax.
Everybody's got a different opinion and alliances can shift depending on specific topics or issues. We all get that. But, no one here deserves to be personally insulted; it's against common curtesy and forum rules.

Quit taking criticism of Donald J Trump as a personal insult and you won't feel like someone is attacking you personally.
Quit making personal attacks on someone that doesn't bow and scrap for everything Trump does like you do and there won't be an issue.
See how easy that is?
-
Some probably wearied of the personal attacks on their character or just felt uncomfortable with the tenor here.
Give it a rest. You Trump Pushers dish out more than your share of snark and personal attacks, even though you are in the vocal minority here.
In this way you're not much different in tactics than BLM, who ignore that their own people they are supposedly championing engage in the majority of crimes committed, but insist everything is racism when they are called out on it.
What is demanded is unwavering fealty and support of Trump and everything he says and does. The moment someone declares Trump a liar or argues that a position and action engaged in is NOT Conservative, you people bitch and moan about 'personal attacks' and other crap as the battle over what is Conservative and what is not continues to ratchet up. Trump people seek to redefine Conservatism to comport with their leader, those of us here who are not invested in Trump say hell no. Because we know and understand that neither Trump or the Republican party are Conservative in any capacity.

Pretty much everyone I know here in Texas (since I don't associate with liberals/lefties)....
voted for Trump. My best gf (like a sister), my ex husband, my ex bf/roommate/boss, my stepdaughter and her whole family, my cousin in Dallas, his ex and whole family, etc., etc....
I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is people that support Trump preaching to me that I'm not thinking correctly if/when I question something he has said or done that I don't agree with. That happens all the time here at this forum coming from the avid (notice I didn't say rabid here) Trump supporters side.
Just.... for the record.

Yeah, I have often made the observation that some here are actually hurting the Trump campaign, movement and cause by being so rabidly 'pro-Trump'. They definitely turned me off to him during the GOP primary....and some still continue to do so... to the point that even if you agree with something Trump does or says.... you are forced to approve in spite of their constant drivel that is a turn-off to all things Trump. It's almost like they are, in bizarre world fashion, working for the opposition....lol.

Hahahahahaha!!! You are rewriting history and painting the T-cult as angels and the NT ppl as devils. That is just false. The war started before Trump even won the primary. it was back when other candidates were slandered by Trump and his cult, dragged through tabloid trash and given childish labels in order to elevate Trump. Now it is time for a whole lot of WE TOLD YOU SOs because Trump is stabbing you in the back on what were supposedly your pet issues. Are you honest enough to admit it? Of course not. I can guess why. Why? Because you worship Trump above all issues.
I can only speak for myself. I left because the rules changed. As soon as Trump won I was told to shut up. There was no reason for me to stay if I could not say what I really thought. I never wanted to be a cheerleader. It appears that some brave souls stuck it out and held their ground. I'm proud of them and come back to read their comments from time to time.

Because nearly all Trump sycophants have engaged in the meme that if you do not support Trump, you are not a Conservative and you are a Hillary supporter.
So the fact this site has vocal Conservatives who point out Trump is not a Conservative, and catalogue that fact, the knee-jerk reaction from aforementioned sycophants is that we are Leftists, because the concept that we are governed by principles and not devotion to a man or party is beyond their comprehension.
Their problem. Not ours or this site's.

Back to the topic at hand (because I really don't want to read 15 pages of squabbling)-
Does no one find it disturbing that the 'new normal' is to assume that Democrats can handle crisis spending and management better and thus, they are the ones we must deal with for important issues?
The Republicans had a spending plan that included hurricane relief that did not give a blank check for all future spending (removing debt cap).
But here we are, now just blindly assuming the answer to any problem is government getting involved on a massive scale and spending massive amounts and handing the keys to the Democrats who are the kings at over-spending and wasting 90% of what goes in.
Somehow people's hatred of Paul Ryan is resulting in handing Nancy Pelosi the keys and assuming she is a better driver.

Thanks for the clarification. As you know I don't often hit the button, 2–3x during the last primary only. But frankly I'd rather not be a squeaky wheel. If someone insults me (and they have) personally ignoring them (not using the ignore feature) is my preferred course of action. But, I can see where reporting the post could be more advantageous. I'll give that some consideration.

This part made me laugh: "Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and budget director Mick Mulvaney were booed when they came to Capitol Hill to plead with Republicans to support the deal."
-
It's so nice to hear from you! I hope you reconsider your decision...maybe just a little?
Yeah that's just what we need here, more people calling Trump supporters cultists. Brilliant idea for setting the right mood for a lively back and forth. Not.

Has anyone actually seen the Republican plan? There's a lot of disinformation out there about it....is the reason I asked. Have you seen it? Got link?

I think this is more of a case of if someone in the media doesn't report it, does it exist? Just in case it was missed, here is a link, they have been very transparent on the proposed budget, amendments, reports, etc. Nothing has been secret.

It's a big internet out there. At least we don't get banned for posting an opinion that is not ass kissing Trump.

It's not like this is the first thread that went off on a tangent, nor I'm sure the last. So what's the real gripe, someone feel ignored, or hurt that their post wasn't deemed shiny enough to keep everyone focussed on it?

Back to the topic at hand (because I really don't want to read 15 pages of squabbling)-
Does no one find it disturbing that the 'new normal' is to assume that Democrats can handle crisis spending and management better and thus, they are the ones we must deal with for important issues?
The Republicans had a spending plan that included hurricane relief that did not give a blank check for all future spending (removing debt cap).
But here we are, now just blindly assuming the answer to any problem is government getting involved on a massive scale and spending massive amounts and handing the keys to the Democrats who are the kings at over-spending and wasting 90% of what goes in.
Somehow people's hatred of Paul Ryan is resulting in handing Nancy Pelosi the keys and assuming she is a better driver.
It seems to be the new normal for "conservatives"...

Next to Donald Trump, Ted Cruz is a mosquito bite on the forearm. NBFD...as Biden would say. I don't care.

I am a Conservative. I don't think handing the Democrats the keys to the vault is a good idea--I didn't when the last guy was in the White house.
Trump just blew it.
He had an opportunity to use the Presidential Bully Pulpit and take this to the people. He could have had a short presser, and told the American People how important this was to get relief to the people affected by hurricanes, and that as soon as the Congress quit playing games and trying to tack things onto an aid measure and passed a clean bill to fund it he'd sign it.
That would have forced all those scalywags on The Hill to put something out, or he could gig them for being a bunch of uncaring, posturing, self-interested types unworthy of reelection. Turn it on the Congress and make them jump.
Nope. He went hat in hand to the Dems, setting precedent that they could get whatever they wanted if they held some vital piece of legislation hostage.
Some deal. Some dealmaker. **nononono*

Who the hell made one such as yourself, arbiter?
While I am a staunch fiscal Conservative, today, half the country would support the government rounding us up as 'Domestic Enemies'.
Right now, the term is "Irredeemable Deplorable". As late of today, she refused to take back that statement when given the opportunity.
Therefore, I'll put my Social Conservatism on hold and trust President Trump to prime the economic engine with attractive tax cuts and tax credits for hiring.

Lol.....ironic, considering that I previously repeatedly asked her to put me on perma-ignore...and she never would. So now.... I'm "all in" with the mayhem that will ensue. ^-^ Embrace the suck and the madness!
"Embrace the suck" is a phrase I have used, too. 888high58888

@XenaLee
Have you noticed that "embrace the suck" is appropriate for so many situations, lol.
That's what the ignore key is for. I'll respond to posts as I see fit.
Oh most definitely, I've noticed. So very fitting. ^-^

Enjoy your 'Realville' while you can...
I live in realville, I have to go along with massive increases in spending....
I live in realville, I have to go along with accepting government run healthcare....
I live in realville, I have to give up many of my rights to be secure....
I live in realville, I must accept that guns are dangerous and I should give mine up so they don't fall into the wrong hands....
I live in realville, I must accept government restrictions on my speech so as to not offend anyone....
I live in realville, I must acknowledge the danger of global climate change and my impact to it and allow the government to restrict what I do for the sake of the children....
I live in realville, I must give up all that I believe and trust the government to fix all my problems....
At some point, we are going to find 'realville' looks a whole lot like A Brave New World.

@Victoria33
Add to that the absolute most childish and most over-sensitive. She sends repeated "stop pinging me" messages when you respond to her posts...and blocks you so you can't respond, lol.
@CatherineofAragon You agreed to move on and leave me alone. A request that came about after you jettisoned all ethics and posted a PM I'd sent to you (you know, the one @Victoria33 so cleverly quoted back to me a few posts up). And Vicky, dear ... be relieved I have respect for my elders.
There's nothing childish or sensitive about expecting someone to keep his or her word. It's time for you dear CathyofArrogant to show some self-respect and honor your promise to limit your dissection of me to your PM club meetings and maintain your posts to me at zero.
And, please, let this be the last time this will need to be addressed.
