So far we are getting a combination of FDR, LBJ, Obama, and AlGore all rolled into one.. but he has a catch phrase and an R behind his name so that makes it OK.

But of course, taking another trillion dollars out of the national economy will be so loved by 'people'.
How far the loughmouths have fallen.
Guess they also forgot that America has only ONE president at a time and nothing the dumbkopf has done so far couldn't have waiting until he takes office.

In Limbaugh's defense, is he supporting Trump's Trillion dollar spending boondoggle or is he just speaking the politics of it of what happens if the average person can actually see results?

It's a bad idea that will just add to our already unsustainable debt

And here is the new big government Limbaugh.

Exactly why I stopped listening to him.

He has become a false preacher, a heretic to the very principles he apparently paid lip service all these years to.

Either that - or, like most - he became willfully blind in his seig-heiling sycophantic ass kissing of his golfing pal billionaire.

No, not for me, personally.  It's a short dress and black boots, and she's very much into firearms.  I don't see a problem.  And she's a former Goth kid; she loves black.

Likewise.

I think my blood pressure has come down quite a bit since turning off talk radio, and since it is apparent the several folks I used to admire were just con-artists for ratings and platforms for selling their brands and books - I'm feeling much healthier.

I actually do not miss them.  They have proven to be major disappointments - one I will not make again in terms of trust. 

I read the news from assorted sources, including this board and I can choose to regulate my outrage, which is less aggravated by the blowhards opining their views upon the same things I'm reading.

I no longer need to hear my views validated by someone somewhere else.  I'm content knowing we live in an age where truth as written has been discarded for the now, the prudent, the party and the monarchy.

We were told in advance that rejecting truth to hold fast to lies and con men would become the demand.

OK well the girl in me is going to show.  It's the shoes and the weird arm holes to the skin tight dress.  But whatever.  LOL.  As for the gun not matching, absolutely right.  Aren't you suppose to wear camo with guns?  At least you should wear practical shoes and looser clothing.  How the heck can you aim right in those shoes?

@RAT Patrol

Okay, girl to girl, lol.   I had to go look at the armholes because I didn't notice them the first time.  They're sort of scooped, it looks like.  The dress is tight because it has Lycra in it, which is true of a lot of clothing, from jeans to shirts to dresses to pants and everything else.  It actually keeps them from stretching out.  Dana works out so I don't blame her for not dressing like a Mennonite, lol.

Ankle boots with dresses and skirts is a trend right now, and it's one I can't wait to see die.  They cut off a woman's legs and make them appear thicker, where a heeled pump would elongate them.  It just looks clunky to me.  I love ankle boots with jeans and pants, though.

Practical shoes with that dress would be awful, and she wouldn't look as badassed.  And I am NOT a fan of camo on women.  Not.  Ever.  If you have to wear it when you're hunting, just don't tell me about it.   :laugh:

Listened to Mark for the first time since before the election. He's holding Trumps feet to the fire.

Drew an interesting parallel between FDR ordering a 2 Star General to take over Montgomery Ward to the way Trump has threatened to treat businesses that move overseas.

I used to listen to Limbaugh and thought Levin was out of line. This weekend I listened to some of Levin's stuff. I plan on doing more of it. I also listen to NPR now, which I have never done in the past.

 000hehehehe  You're so fun!  Actually I don't care what crazy thing she wears.  I was just responding to Frank's comment that she was good looking. Me?  You would never catch me in that girdle dress or in those hideous shoes. You might as well jab pencils up your heels and be a human spirograph.   I don't care if I worked out for a zillion hours a day.  I think it is ugly.  As for camo..I have never worn it but I could.  No wait...I have some really cute pink camo Sketcher tennis shoes that I used to wear.  I haven't worn them in years yet I haven't been able to part with them either.  Of course to work as camo you would have to be walking through a pink flower garden....hahahaha...  You never know.  Must be prepared.

@RAT Patrol

Well, it's always fun to examine a woman's look...it's the female in us.  We all have our preferences.  I don't do pink or camo myself, but I think Dana looks great, despite the fact that I'd prefer a pair of killer pumps.

Rush kept the lid on his friendship with Trump very well. He sort of let the cat out of the bag from time to time during the primaries when he would mention something like  golf outings he and Trump did together.
From his failure to attack Trump on any of his ridiculous positions I assumed there was a much closer bond between the two instead of the random golf outing that Limbaugh made it seem his relation to Trump was like. Rush finally admitted as much in the last year.
Now since the election it's just been three hours of Rush fawning and kissing Trump's posterior.
I have to listen to him now because my wife became enamored of Rush since she recently retired and can listen to Rush for three hours. And she likes Trump. Oh well, what can I do? Now if I don't put him on, she gets agitated.

I expect Levin will have some clever quips about Trump's Fascism and some vein-exploding rants when Trump begins to out-liberal Obama, but Levin publicly announced his support and vote for Trump instead of actually supporting a Conservative who holds to the principles he says he is beholden, so in my estimation his words do not bear fruit.  Levin is still a slave on the GOP plantation even after making numerous threats to leave it and succumbing of his own volition.

So I no longer have the respect for him I once did, even though he is probably the only one out there that might give Constitutional Conservatism some airtime, much to the indifference of the majority of the population.

So I no longer have the respect for him I once did, even though he is probably the only one out there that might give Constitutional Conservatism some airtime, much to the indifference of the majority of the population.

The problem with Levin (for me, at least) wasn't that he was a political hostage. He knew (and still knows) that Trump was no conservative, but was one of the last people standing to oppose him. Only a few remained until the election that I know of, like Glenn Beck and Steve Deace. Levin fought for conservatism during the primaries and during the election, though I was pretty strongly turned off when he insulted the #NeverTrump movement and mocked Evan McMullin on his show. That's Trump-like behavior, and it's what I expect from a semi-retarded child, not Levin.

I may give him a chance again, though, which is more than I can say for most other hosts. Chris Plante, the local guy here, was never particularly over-the-top as far as I remember, but he may be worth a listen again. I haven't listened much so it's possible he dutifully loaded himself into the Trump-branded cattle car, but I'm not sure. In general, I find myself less angry and with much more free time since freeing myself of most talk radio. I listen to a Steve Deace podcast or two when I'm working in my woodshop, since he's a) Christian, b) not angry, c) intelligent, and d) talks with a calm tone with his team about things other than politics.

Other than that, the outrage merchants on the radio don't do much to further the cause.
