White House warns ‘potentially ambitious’ Republicans about 2020

[Night Hides Not]

I thought your Anointed was this Supernatural Art of the Dealmaker?  The Master Negotiator?  The Great Salesman?

Surely his ethereal powers of persuasion should have been enough to persuade us intransigents to His Great Cause should they have not?

He didn't need us.  He said so himself. 

Now, hacks like you charge those of us not in lockstep with your leader, of making him fail - and because we do not seig-heil him, we are somehow miraculously bringing pain and punishment on the American people.

Shouldn't your Art of the Dealmaker have been able to persuade us to support him and his agenda of MAGA?


Maybe follow the suggestions of Trump's more rabid militants and call for us to be strung up by piano wire.  Seems to work for great leaders trying to make their country great again.

Then why do you keep looking over at those of us not marching with you and making us your projects of derision, chastisement, ridicule and threat?  You and your leaders in the Oligarchy told us to get out of your corrupt party.  We did.

Ignore us and march on under the banner of Trump if you are so cocksure of your cause and leader.

But no.  You won't.

You suffer from a seared conscience that is only going to become more agitated and spiteful as time goes on.

Atlas Shrugged is now nonfiction. Trump is perfectly cast as Mr. Thompson.

The Mooch was aiming to be Mouch...lol. Sorry folks, Ivanka is not Dagny.

Well, bless your heart.   ^-^

Not you too with the psycho babble.  I expect better from you.

[Emjay]

Because history repeats as is the legacy of mankind.

Only the deliberate and woefully ignorant think their societies are immune from the same fate that always befalls Republics and other societies.


Can't stop a people who insist on committing suicide.  So, I am happy to provide a witness as they eat the fruit of their ways while I work to do other more profitable things.

Gotta start somewhere.

Oh well.  History repeats.  It's not my problem that this people chose ignorance and decided to call virtue an evil and evil a virtue.  Same as they call a NY Liberal Democrat a Reagan Conservative.  You are the engineers of your own destruction.

If they deserve it, then of course yes.

Which is why this experiment is doomed.  You have accepted the lie and premise that because nobody is perfect, that choosing the basest and egregious of character is good and noble and virtuous because the other is worse.  You do this, rather than striving for perfect or as close to virtuous as you can discern from the character of the people you choose to represent you.  As I said, you will shortly end up deciding between Lenin or Stalin as your ruler - and acolytes would be making the same idiotic justifications and threats that the rest of us need to get on board to support them.

Well, duh, the other IS worse.

Look, I seriously think you are on the way to driving yourself crazy and I can't stop you.

Nobody is trying to justify evil, at least I'm not.  We are living in a flawed society and most of us are trying to do the best we can to make it better.

Damn! @txradioguy ...had you shown up 10 minutes earlier, I'd have won $10.

Please, pay closer attention.  I'm counting on you ..... literally! 

[INVAR]

Well, duh, the other IS worse.

Well then vote for Lenin and feel good about yourself.

Trying to shame the rest of us to vote for and support him as the lesser evil is stupidity on your part.

Look, I seriously think you are on the way to driving yourself crazy and I can't stop you.

I've heard that warning for 40 plus years.  If my wife and three teenage daughters all two years apart could not drive me crazy, then there's nothing that can.

Nobody is trying to justify evil,

No?  You're just voting for it and encouraging others to do likewise because it is the lesser evil.

We are living in a flawed society and most of us are trying to do the best we can to make it better.

That is the big lie you keep telling yourself. 

You do not make it better by choosing lesser evils, lesser Socialists, lesser Liberals.

All you are doing is defining deviancy down and redefining what was once unacceptable with being acceptable.  Your trajectory is still into the flames.

That's right.

Hard to believe a democrat brought that phrase to the forefront.

Hard to believe a democrat brought that phrase to the forefront.

Today Moynihan would be regarded as a right wing extremist and Republicans would declare him to be in the mold of Reagan.

Moynihan is the last Democrat that I had any respect for  (maybe with the exception of Ed Koch)

The decent ones all got run out of DC and the 60's radicals took their place.

I cannot tell you how much I wish I had the will power to ignore you.  Apparently, I don't because I am now asking you to tell me one thing you've ever applauded Trump for.  And don't say his Supreme Court nominee ... that is a cop out.

I don't think I've ever commented one way or the other on Gorsuch.

There was his tweet about not allowing transgenders to serve in the military, but then he went and cocked that up also.

There was also some improvement on the economy that I thought was positive, though I am not convinced that most of it can be directly attributed to him, but will give the benefit of the doubt on that and say that some of it has.

'Precious'; I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Didn't they teach Trump at military school that tweets aren't considered lawful orders?

 

[corbe]

    I should know better than to walk into this trap @RoosGirl, But, a few women (correct pronunciation, this time) nicknamed ME precious 20 years ago, what were they insinuating?   
    You don't have to be brutally honest, here.

He must have slept through his Twittter 101 class.

[corbe]

   Back then it was called 'Rotary Dial' etiquette, He failed the course.

LOL.  Don't tell me you're afraid of my brutal honesty. 

I certainly can't speak for 20 years ago, but over the last year I have found you to be quite a gentleman, whether the person you were responding to deserved it or not.  I certainly am not so graceful.  Unfortunately I just have no patience for some people.

I'm sure they did @Night Hides Not ... After all twitter was wildly popular fifty years ago.

    Thanks @RoosGirl for being so polite, I was just figurin it had 'homo' written on it somewhere, I got that nickname from the Dance Floor in an inebriated state, with women, in case you were wondering.

    Now I dance here, in a similar state, omitting the cops and the drive home.

Hahaha.  Now, y'all cut it out.  Stop droolin' all over each other.  It's war here, haven't you forgotten.

[RoosGirl]

I'd rather drool over @corbe than Trump.  At least corbe knows how to behave.  Besides, everyone needs to practice a kind word now and then.  Some of us (me) need more practice than others.

We agree.  Corbe is definitely drool worthy.  Trump ... not so much.

[corbe]

   Please STOP this drooling Ladies, It's making me very uncomfortable and to be honest, just ask my ol lady,  I'm actually  unworthy, in a precious way.

I'm confused.  You *are* a homo?
