Hey, with all these Goldman Sachs connections, maybe Heidi Cruz is next!

You obviously don't get it. Bannon, Cohn, and Mnuchin are good, Heidi Cruz is b-a-d.

I found some really first class one liners on the "Husky Blog" when they were getting thrashed in Spokane last Wednesday night. Zags were leading 27-6 at the second TV time out.

Very simple: all of those guys are going to work for HIM, that makes it all ok. I thought they'd have to take the same oath of office that I have...you know, support, protect and defend the Constitution? I haven't found any words about the Orange Don in that oath.

I wandered over to TOS to see how they are taking all the Goldman Sachs appointments.  Most of them are defending them.  Apparently GS has become one of America's greatest companies.

One person dared to say that he was glad he didn't join on the Heidi Cruz critics bandwagon and he was immediately accused of:  Guess What?

Cruz butt hurt.

Butt hurt is one of their favorite and most elegant terms.

Fortunately someone posted that Joy Behar thing about Trump should resign and they gleefully ran over there to attack Joy.

Poor things.  Good for them, though, they're too dumb to realize what fools they are.

I wish everyone would stop with the Trump hate. Our DonaldTM could nominate Barack Obama himself and you people would find some reason to trash him over it.  He obviously knows better than everyone how to Drain the Swamp(c)Trump Enterprises and the only way to do that is to fill the swamp with rabid alligators. You just need to put your faith in Our Donald, he knows best. He is from the government and he is here to help.

I had a great aunt who was the undisputed world's expert on everything, and we gave that gene her name.

It's been hell to inform my family members that the Trump gene is far stronger than hers...  8888crybaby

Idiots are easy to troll because they're morons.

In 2012 there was a troll getting them to chase a conspiracy theory that Rick Santorum was ineligible to be president because his grandfather didn't get full citizenship here or some crap.

I've lost the enjoyment of trolling people who post stupid stuff. For example, the stupidity of people who think that the Electoral College can be repealed in a simple referendum. Ok, they aren't stupid...they just don't know jack about the Constitution.

Or when someone wants to rant over the term "militia" regarding the 2nd Amendment.

•"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
— George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788

Makes perfect sense to me.

Actually, the whole damn link is awesome. The intent of the Founding Fathers regarding the Second Amendment is unanimous and thunderous.

Quotes are wonderful, but what's actually in the U.S. Code is another:
