From the ‘refresher’ link....

TBR has recently lost several members and I hear another one is thinking on leaving...



Thinking of leaving, again? Reminds me of song lyrics I heard in 1983....

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration,
But we know all her suicides are fake.

And @goodwithagun I don't care what you don't want to "here"   888mouth

But since you're such a know-it-all --- on everything --- do enlighten the audience on how the President can build the wall without Congress approving the funding.

Go ahead ... tell us.

That’s the whole point of posting the Tweet. Trump blamed Obama’s inability to advance his agenda on staff turnover. Now Trump has staff turnover equal to Obama’s. Sheesh. But since you asked . . .



Mexico is going to pay for it.

I was never a Sting fan but you are spot on.  The Mods need to park their shit and let things play out.

Weird. I always thought the M stood for ‘military.’  How quickly some forget the ‘brilliant’ plan he supposedly was going to employ and outmaneuver Congress.

My favorite M is Dame Judi Dench. I also liked her as Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice.

My least favorite was M Butterfly. Too much like The Crying Game.

Trump rule 1 - There's always a tweet.

Rule 2 - That tweet will generally include irony, plus spelling and/or grammatical errors.

Rule 2 - That tweet will generally include irony, plus spelling and/or grammatical errors.

Rule 3 - Given enough time it will be diametrically opposed to whatever he tweeted previously.

I see you're still serving as Mueller's wingmen.   How conservative of you both.

And obtuse, too.  But then you'd have to be to fulfill your mission.

“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews. That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,...



Right on cue, with another blithering tweet.  A ‘smocking’ gun.  Twice.  FFS.

Yep....I’m the obtuse one.

   That is TRUE @Right_in_Virginia but you also are tough to argue with due specifically to your close mindness concerning anything #MAGA.   Maybe with the dems running the house you'll reposition your artillery fire on them and leave us Conservatives alone for a couple of years, though doubtful.

@corbe doubtful is right.  Conservatives will still be to blame and continue to take fire from all directions.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

*chuckling* Obviously you're not conversant in Chris Bermanisms (the whacky nicknames Berman would conjure up for baseball players based directly on their names, which began when he couldn't resist hanging then-Giants catcher Kirt Manwaring with "Kirt [What is That] Manwaring]" and took off from there).  wink777

@EasyAce

Another Bermanism I liked had a Bob Dylan reference:

Steve (Blood on the) Trachsel

Pretty hard to get anything done when he fires everyone he hires.

I think Kelly is getting cold feet about what he knows that is coming down the pike from Trump.  I can't blame Kelly too much, because we are in uncharted waters, but I think Trump will merely do what he has to do--and that he will have plenty of others on his staff backing him all the way.
