O’Reilly on Hannity last night. Great TV. And Hannity is slaughtering Maddow in ratings!! Folks saying the Moore win is bad for Trump. BS! It’s great ’cause Trump didn’t want to support Strange anyway. He did so for political expediency. Trump loves Moore and will be in AL repeatedly and enthusiastically. Bank on it! MAGA…slowly but surely. It took 50 years of Lib and Dem nonsense to get us in this mess. Getting out of it won’t happen overnight but it will happen. Ohhh, and you NFL weenies keep on kneeling! LOL!
Another self-proclaimed patriot that doesn’t know the difference between making people stand and salute the flag, and people wanting to stand and salute the flag.
So your theory is even though the GOP held the White House for 29 of the 50 years you cited, the “libs” were so much more powerful then folks like Nixon, Reagan and Bush Sr., and that time Bush Jr. was in office with full GOP control of congress, that the GOP was some how doing as the libs commanded to create “this mess”?
As a side note, what do you put in your coffee each morning before you type out your rewrites of history? I want to get some for my brother for Christmas.
Sis, the Dems controlled congress till 94. Next!
The Dems controlled the House till 1994. The senate had a few years of GOP control. There is also this thing called VETO if a GOP president wanted to make an issue go away. Not to mention most of the Dems became Republicans in the late 90s and 2000.
What point you are missing is both parties made the mess. And we the voters let them.
’94 was 23 years ago.
Keep up the “racist” meme, Drew, ’cause name calling is all you and your side have!
I’ve read that Kaepernick (and others) have chosen “kneeling” as a way to express themselves specifically because it IS respectful.
Is there any conceivable circumstance where we would have imagined beforehand that kneeling could be redefined as disrespectful?
And yes, if a white guy had done the kneeling, would the reaction be the same?
For all the journalists who pretended to believe Republicans who pretended to care about Clinton’s e-mails: The NYT reports that many of Trump’s closest advisers, including Kushner, Ivanka, Bannon and Priebus, used private email to discuss White House matters.
.
The “lock her up” bunch is so outraged that they’re doing…….nothing. When you’re a Trump Republican, rules are for other people. And when you’re an establishment Republican, you do nothing. There’s no significant difference.
Think server, Dave, server! Yugeeee difference!
Hmm, I’m not sure I see the difference between a private server and, well, a private server?
The NFL owners and players have picked a wrong and costly approach by disrespecting our anthem. The diviseness will cause a revenue drop which won’t help with paying or public support for billion dollar stadiums or multimillion salaries. Halftime might be a better time to list grievances on police brutality, racism, giving illegals a voice, concussions, whatever, before one grabs all the attention.
Think I met an owner last night taking about lady liberty.

lol. Americans aren’t giving up football. Ratings are sort of down but that’s as much attributable to cord cutting as anything. Attendance is at record peaks and on pace this year for a new high.
Oh and players never took the field on the nfl until 2009 for the anthem when…..the federal government began paying the league to do so.
I guess you can believe your fantasy if you want.
I’ll go slower. America is not giving up football and the national anthem is not the time for disrespect. Find another time, stay in the locker room or even get the flag and anthem outofthere if they must.
No good American wants the Falcons to lose revenue but a percentage of the fan base, aka revenue, is pissed, not uncomfortable, with being dissed when asked “everybody please stand for…..”
I mean after all, there’s got to be someplace where a plantation mentality is still allowed.
And a percentage of the fan base approves the protest. And the greatest nation in the world enshrined the right to peaceful protest as part of it’s fabric.
So….sorry you’re wrong.
Zzzzzzzzzz….
Purina is opening a $320M manufacturing and distribution facility in Hartwell. The new plant will create up to 240 jobs over the next five years.

” according to a Purina spokesman, … the area has a good talent pool and existing distribution network. ”
A good talent pool in Hartwell? I guess they can get enough people off of meth to drive the forklifts but who is going to actually make the dog food? And what “talent” is that, anyway?
I predict a lot of names on those I9 forms ending in “ez” and no need to look too closely at those ID’s.
We should all praise the dogged efforts of Hartwell’s economic development team. Also, not everyone at Clemson is on meth.
Can some one explain the logic behind the Jones Act being t lifted for ports effected by Harvey and/or Irma for a few weeks, but they will not lift them for ports in Puerto Rico or the USVI? (Logical answers please, I already know the snarky ones.)
About halfway down is the best quote of the day.. look for it by Rep. Thomas Massie.
