Theft. And what is that counselor, assault ot battery? Please dive deep into that legal training. Inquiring Minds…

“whomp, dey it is, Whomp, dey it is…”
More Liberal Hooligans…
Sorry he got fired. And should be arrested. He is at least guilty of being an ahole…
Has anyone seen a conservative knock anyone in the mug for wearing an Obama or Hillary hat? I literally have had my tires slashed twice in my own driveway over the years for having a conservative sign in my yard. Do any conservative groups try to ban liberal speakers on any campus whatsoever? Has anyone climbed the Statue of Liberty or descended on Washington in vagina hats protesting Obama and the libs demanding his impeachment before he even took office?
Is this childish, imbecilic, embarrassing and dangerous behavior going to gin up any votes? Do conservatives run around calling you a racist or say you hate gays and women if you disagree with them? The DNC Chairman said himself that is the future of the party. Why would anyone support that? This Walk Away Movement looks like it is gaining traction. Is every democrat about ready to walk away from the party that is now the socialist/communist party of America? If I was a democrat, I would.
Kino Jimenez. Let’s relive his eloquent soliloquy, shall we?
“You ain’t supporting s*** n*****!” Jimenez went on, “This is going to go right in my f***ing fireplace, b****.”
Kino 2020!
Yeah, those guys in Charlottesville were just goofing around. No their fault somebody got killed.
So now all the sudden restaurants are supposed to serve everybody no matter what, but bakers still don’t have to bake for a gay couple? Adoption agencies can discriminate against parents because they don’t adhere to a certain religion?
There are stories like this every day:

But of course you won’t see them if you are very selective in your news sources (i.e. let someone else decide what you should see).

Real grifters are happy EPA head Scott Pruitt is described as a grifter. Pruitt has no finesse, no subtlety, and keeps getting caught. Luckily for Pruitt, Trump has no problem with ethics rules being broken and spending taxpayer money for questionable purposes.
“Two of Scott Pruitt’s top aides provided fresh details to congressional investigators in recent days about some of the EPA administrator’s most controversial spending and management decisions, including his push to find a six-figure job for his wife at a politically connected group, enlist staffers in performing personal tasks and seek high-end travel despite aides’ objections.
The Trump administration appointees described an administrator who sought a salary that topped $200,000 for his wife and accepted help from a subordinate in the job search; requested aid from senior Environmental Protection Agency officials in a dispute with a Washington landlord; and disregarded concerns about his first-class travel.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/pruitt-aides-reveal-new-details-of-his-spending-and-management-at-epa/2018/07/02/71b87384-7aec-11e8-80be-6d32e182a3bc_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.52e00e9cd17d
When Pruitt was told he’d have to report his wife’s six figure salary, his response was he’d form an LLC to hide it. Just like his boss does. MAGA.
Don’t cha just luv Libs!!! Lololol! Mire, more, more…

Michael Flynn is in the news again. Heading to court this week. I think his sentencing is scheduled for September along with Papadopolous.
Flynn? Really. Why don’t you stayed tuned for Trump’s press conference on Monday naming his pick for the Supreme Court. If its the babe with the 7 kids, will the libs try to gin up lies and tear her apart? Sure! And it should be fun to watch. Watch the folks that claim to help women and minorities.
Oh and Tuesday why don’t you watch Strzok testify in front of Congress! You can see for yourself what a biased liar this clown is. After that, be honest and say this is not a joke of an investigation, a frame job and a huge miscarriage of justice. Anyone that has followed this knows that. His little girlfriend should be testifying too! I want him to describe how Trump supporters smell, how Hillary should win 200 million to zero 3 days after he starts investigating her! Just before he clears her before interviewing any witnesses! Just what were all of those names he was calling Trump and why did he exonerate her from obvious crimes and then try to frame Trump! Should be an entertaining few days and the death knell of this frame job! And quite a few more swamp rats will be outed.
Just what was Flynn guilty of? If they get him for lying to Congress can we get the paddy wagon warmed up for Hillary and Comey too?
Dude, it’s not gonna be the woman with 7 kids ’cause 2 of those kids came from countries Trump called “sh*tholes”. The magat crowd would have a meltdown with a white woman who adopted two black kids just like they did with John McCain. Mueller just hired a bunch more prosecutors so I’m guessing the stuff that came from Michael Cohen is going to produce a lot of indictments.
You’re putting your hope in Strzok testifying? Dude, the GOP won’t release his testimony from before. If it was such a big help to Trump and the GOP then why did not they release it?
If you don’t know what Flynn is guilty of then you need to get out of the right wing echo chamber. One of them was planning a kidnapping for a foreign country. Another one was conspiring against the USA. However since he turned on Trump and agreed to cooperate with Mueller, he’s only going to be charged with lying to the FBI. He must be giving it all up to get that good of a deal. Remember Mueller has everything from the Trump campaign, phone records, emails everything.
I love how Republicans think being patriotic is celebrating the 4th in Russia with Putin.
Thank heavens Scott Pruitt is gone. It only took him installing the pearly gates in his office along with stealing from everybody including his employees to finally get rid of him.
Who’ll be the new EPA head? Zinke? Falwell Jr.? Duck Commander?
I’m going with Duck Commander. But it’s really some assistant to Pruitt. Speaking of Zinke he needs to go too along with Jim Jordan. I will have to call my former freedom caucus member rep tomorrow and see what he says about Jordan. His office will probably claim to have no idea where he stands on Jordan.
And…Coal for the win

Marc Lamont Hill condones violence. Isn’t CNN pround!
https://www.google.com/amp/amp.dailycaller.com/2018/07/05/cnn-marc-lamont-hill-assault-teen-tweet/
Speaking of butt hurt, TGM is speaking right now in Montana! You want I send you some Tums?! Safe Space , now, Snivler!!
In the annals of you can’t make this stuff up Michael Cohen has hired one of Hillary’s top lawyers Lanny Davis. Trump also hired one of Bill’s lawyers a while back.
I’m not Obi Wan, but I’m sensing a “Disturbance in the Force…” Drew don’t like Carolina challenging for Lib Supremacy on GaPol! If I’ve gotta vote, I’m throwing my support behind Andrew!
I’m guessing Lanny is going to blab what Cohen knows to the entire world. I would say it’s bad news for Trump world but frankly I don’t think Cohen can be real choosy on who he hires at this point.
Think back. What is the worst take down you’ve ever seen? Undetaker’s Tombstone Piledriver? The Spoilers’s Claw? Maniac Mark Lewin’s Sleeper? Mr. Wrestling II’s Knee Lift? All of those, all of them – pale in comparison to Trump’s Takedown of TheLibs tonight in Montana!! Question for the Opposition: Did you get the license number of the Mack Truck who destroyed y’all tonight?
After Mondays Supreme Court news conference in Prime Time and Tuesday’s testimony by the crooked FBI agent Strzok, the Mueller investigation should be over and shown to be the joke that it is. The socialist/communist party should be in tatters. What are they going to run on. I want to raise the crap out of your taxes? That should work! This week should be like GA Tech’s beating Cumberland 212 to 0! A WrestleMania smack down! I expect to see tens of thousands of normal folks that have been lied to so long to be joining the Walk Away Movement this week.
Dude, the walk away movement is a Putin bot operation. But since most Republicans it seems think Putin is a great leader for his country I’m sure they don’t see a problem with it.
The only high profile walk aways in the last week were from Republicans like Max Boot, Steve Schmidt advocating the total destruction of the GOP.
As much straw as you attempt to construct in your posts you must have a lot of scarecrows at your house.
