I used to surf in Georgia and Florida. This video is amazing, a 1.5 km ride on a single wave in South Africa with 8 barrels. “Barrels” are when the wave completely covers you.
From the surfer’s point of view:
From a drone:
Kowabunga! I’m stoked!
My best surfing ever was at Sunset Beach on Oahu’s north shore. Bitchin’!!
The North Shore is nothing like Honolulu and that part of the island. It gets pretty rural in a hurry, after you go over the mountains and pass the Polynesian Cultural Center. I’ve even seen chickens walking across the road near the little store at the very north end.
And if you really want rural, give Molokai a try — it has only one red-light on the whole island. Hang loose, Bro!
I figure Cohen has the receipts as in tapes to back himself up. Mr. 9/11 a noun and a verb has become nothing short of a laughingstock. My friends in NYC are thrilled that Giuliani is finally being exposed for what they have known for a long time. The “America’s Mayor” narrative is swirling the drain and they couldn’t be happier about it.
Avenatti has announced that he has 3 more women willing to come forward one that Trump got pregnant.
Poll question.
Say documented proof comes out that Trump/Cohen paid for an abortion for one of Trump’s side squeezes. Trump’s approval rating then drops X points. How big is X?
I say X=4, 10 percent of his support.
I can’t believe we are living to see that a nominee for President of the US is heard on tape discussing setting up a sham company in order to quietly pay off a woman with whom he had an affair in order to keep it secret. And he won.
Puts the old “Obama wore a tan suit once” scandal in a whole new perspective.
.
Will his approval drop? Maybe 1%. Because the pedestal that Trumpistas have him on is so far above anyone else that no mere mortal sin will affect their perception. Any transgression is worth it in order to get these fantastic non-binding statements from other world leaders committing to talk further about setting up some meetings. That 1% are the few out there who are just sick of hearing about all this and need an excuse to not pay attention, and maybe the friends and family of people who Trump owes money to who finally realize that they probably aren’t going to be getting paid.
And I will rebut in advance: I know… Bill Clinton. But he was a Democrat. Republicans are supposed to be the sensitive ones about this kind of stuff. Repubs were the ones who were outraged by all that. Perhaps just goes to show that trump is no Republican.
All this proves is what the GOP was saying about Bill Clinton was just more hooey on their part. They didn’t like Clinton because he wasn’t a white nationalist. It had nothing to do with anything else.
Good job sticking race into that post, Carolina! LOL! Truly pathetic!
If you throw a brick into a pack of wild dogs the one you hit will always holler.
It will change his support zero. Franklin Graham will say it’s okay and talk about Mulligans and most of them will blame the woman for having an abortion.
Among his supporters? Nary a peep! He wasn’t elected to be Pope. To quote Serpenthead, “It’s the economy, stupid!” Further Serpenthead, “It’s just about sex!” “Doesn’t effect his doing the job!”
“I say X=4, 10 percent of his support.”
Just make it XXX, Dog! Nobody cares that he was boinking Stormy, either! LOLOLOLOL!
Ahhhh, if it ain’t SnowBiscuit, the one-note pony! Your being an attorney would seemingly imply intelligence but I swear, Dude, (In honor of Carolina…) you’re more stale than month old bread! You need to go on another self-imposed, 12 hour, Butt-Hurt Sabbatical like last week. So, Sniv, it’s Cry closet, Pamprin; Cry closet, Pamprin; Cry closet, Pamprin…LMFAO!
Meantime, TGM continues to check off promises and accomplishments. Y’all wanna talk GDP? No?? didn’t think so. 50 remains back from NKorea…
Lowest Black and Hispanic unemployment levels ever recorded. Get Rushmore ready!
Speaking of paying for abortions there, Pavlov, how many minority babies have you paid to have murdered this week?
Andrew is still working hard trying to unearth something Trump did regarding collusion! Keep it up little buddy. Maybe one of your lawyer buddies can help you think of something. Your filibuster is getting tiresome.
Noway is right. I think Trump’s approval ratings will go up the more Playboy Playmates he was with. They sure helped Clinton! You have to admit, Trump’s choice of women is far more appealing than Bubba’s! Bubba was almost like a port in every storm or is that Stormy?!
Keep the jobs coming, the growth, strong military, stronger energy industry, reducing harmful regulations, an actual border and enforcing existing laws and keep the socialist wackos at bay!! Man this is exciting! This is a great time to be an American!
Noway’s sensitivity shines through again. I realizes how tough it is spend so much time in self imposed exile in a liberal Cry Closet! I bet Manafort enjoys solitary confinement more than Andrew does in his closet…Could you imagine how horrible it must be to be around so many whining, complaining miserable liberals in one of those closets? The calls to the suicide hotline must be off the charts.
Maybe the liberals can truly get those open borders with millions streaming over the borders, all voting elections just like US citizens and then maybe they can pass their idiotic agenda.
I guess you don’t keep up with the news. The collusion that Donald did came out on the news last night. Donald approved the meeting with Russian spies and knew that he was going to meet with them in order to gain support from the Russian goverment in his campaign. It’s all there in black and white today if you care to actually read.
Honestly, Noway, if Trump paid someone to have an abortion, you would have to admit it as a flaw. If anyone else did it, it would knock them down from “great” to “low-life” in your eyes.
Trump supporters have had nothing to do with honesty for over two years and if treason is not a reason, a legal medical procedure certainly isn’t.
Sadly, this is very close to what will happen. I also ask that you not lump all evangelicals into the same bucket as Jerry Falwell. Many of us have known for years he is a fraud.
Why do so many evangelicals in your opinion support Trump even though what he does is what they “profess” they are against?
“Why do so many evangelicals in your opinion support Trump even though what he does is what they “profess” they are against?”
It’s important that you understand that there are evangelicals and then there are people who attend church. They are not always the same.
Its not up to me to judge why people do what they do, but I’ll try to explain some of it. Some of it was a hatred for Hillary. (Not Godly) Some of it was he’s our guy so I don’t care what he does. (Not Godly) Some of it is I don’t believe the media and he is a good man. (This is just ignorance) Some of it was I don’t like him, but he is better than Hillary and will appoint judges that will hopefully be good people. (This is reasonable in my mind)
Also, this idea that evangelicals are still on the bandwagon and Trump can do no wrong is false. IF…That is a big If… Trump loses the next election it will because he loses support among the Christian right and not the working class union members who gave him PA, OH and MI.
I agree with much of Eiger’s comments about why Evangelicals voted for and stick with Trump. I think you left out one big one: Racism! The political evangelical movement has a long and sorry history with respect to race in America. Likewise, Donald Trump has a long and disgraceful history of racial discrimination in his real estate ventures. He persecuted the Central Park Five, going so far as to take out a full page ad in the NYT calling for these innocent black men to be murdered by law enforcement. Finally, he graduated to the mother of all racist movements by hounding the nation’s first black president for six years with his discredited “birther movement.” He made many outrageous claims about Obama’s birth, his racial heritage and his religion. He accused Obama of complicity in the death of the State of Hawaii official who certified his birth certificate. Trump was so successful in his persecution of Obama among the base of the party and among Evangelicals that even today, 51% still believe that Obama was born in Kenya and is a practicing Muslim
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-birther-obama-poll-republicans-kenya-744195
Donald Trump was and is obsessed with race. He’s obsessed with Barack Obama. He was and is a full fledge racist who continues to blow a dog whistle that only white supremacist, Nazis and others inclined to want to see a whiter America again can hear. But make no mistake, they do hear it and that is a large reason why he’s president and why almost nothing will shake his support among his core constituency.
MAWA: Make America White Again!
Like the rest of it, who cares!? Do you know how pitiful you guys sound on a daily basis? Is anything the worthless liberal agenda does to help an average American? I’ll y’all sound like you are some freaking Jerry Springer show. And if you think this is an up and up honest investigation I now see how OJ got off… I never knew there be anybody that freaking biased and immune to looking at evidence but I have now seen otherwise. You got a former head of the FBI telling yeah the abuse is rampant and used to just sit there and act like he has no credibility. There is absolutely nothing I can send that would convince you otherwise. And that’s where America is today and it’s pretty messed up.
Look, you are the one bringing up Jerry Springer and the OJ Simpson jury. If that is your conception of prevailing liberal orthodoxy, then yeah, we’re not going to have much to talk about.
.
But anyway, my guess would be that the basic principle of current liberals is equality. That doesn’t imply communism, and it doesn’t necessarily hinder anyone’s success. But if someone’s success is gained at the expense of someone else, then that is worth examining to see if an equitable compromise can be worked out. In some ways, the government is a like giant arbitration panel. You can’t just let people pursue their success with no restrictions. We’re not a nation of gangsters.
.
To me, the alternative to this goal of equality is feudalism- the concentration of wealth. And fascism is a good mechanism for getting there, and it looks like there are a lot of signs that we are not just drifting, but plunging headlong in that direction.
…
So we wouldn’t normally use somebody like Thom Hartman or Mike Malloy as source material to defend a point, because they are biased. It doesn’t mean they are dishonest, but they are going to present a biased viewpoint. And that is what using Kallstrom is like. He has been getting paid to promote the Limbaugh/Fox/Trump mantra for about 20 years now. That is his job. Just like Strosk, I am willing to believe that even though he has a political perspective, he was able to do his job as Ass’t FBI director professionally and impartially. But he doesn’t have to be that way anymore. He is now a hack and his statements made on TV are not good references for definitive reality any more than Tucker Carlson or Jason Miller. Now Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump himself are in positions of leadership so pretty much anything they say is fair game, but you may find that not everything Maxine Waters says is accepted without question by all libs. I know that may be hard to understand by someone whose paradigm demands total loyalty, but that’s who we are.
You want to know what else isn’t fair. I’ll tell you what’s not fair. I just found out from my scientific people, some of the best scientists around, good people, good degrees, and believe me they could work for anyone but they want to work for me, for this great country, that the eclipse today won’t be shown in America. You can watch it in Europe and the EU will watch it, yes indeed, you can bet they’ll watch, China too, but not Americans. We spend billions on Nato, more than any other country in the world, far more, and let me tell you we’re fixing that right now and we’ll get it right, you can count on it, and where is the justice? Where is the justice?
I wonder if maybe, just maybe, do you think it’s possible the networks are behind this, all the media. Just supposing, just supposing. You know what they think of us, all of us, with their quote coverage, their fake news, how they miss the real facts, and now we get a big eclipse, one of the biggest I understand, and have you heard it’s a red one this time, that’s right, blood red they tell me, like a rose, and it won’t be shown in the greatest country on Earth and I tell you today that’s not fair at all and you can believe we’re gonna make it right.
Is this a serious post?
Since it will be a red moon, it only shows up in left wing maxist countries. Probably a laser projection put up by the Chinese.
What?
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) – As trade tensions escalate between Washington and Beijing, the U.S. Senate quietly passed legislation on Thursday that would lower trade barriers on hundreds of items made in China…
The White House has not publicly taken a position on the so-called miscellaneous tariff bill, which has now passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives unanimously. The two chambers need to resolve minor differences before they can send the legislation to Trump to sign into law.”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-congress-trade/u-s-senate-quietly-votes-to-cut-tariffs-on-hundreds-of-chinese-goods-idUSKBN1KG35R
I would have expected a couple of responses by now exclaiming how this is such a great victory for the USA, and how our newfound strength and negotiating prowess has made this possible.
MRGA!
Trump starts a fire in the Oval Office trying to reheat a couple of Big Macs.
When the DC fire department responds, Trump bitches about the cost of all those fire trucks. He has Sessions grab the kids of a few firemen and send them to Guatemala. He gets Giuliani to park Uber 1 on the main fire hose and deputizes Jim Jordan’s staff to cordon off the vehicle.
When the stench of smoldering generic beef becomes too much, Ms. Altfacts announces the president has cut a deal for fire protection that is only 20 percent higher than what others pay. Sessions returns some of the kids. Giuliani cuts short regaling people with 9/11 tales and moves Uber 1. Jordan’s staff is dismissed. They don’t want to go back but they do.
Trump jets off to Wyoming to celebrate with the faithful.
I figured [parking on the fire hose was going to lead to the fact that the WH was a dump and burning it down would help MAGA.
X, you’re posting some “different” kinds of posts today. Hope you’re doing ok.
Ambien!
It can only be pronounced a great victory by Trump. The “I alone can fix it” guy is also the only one that knows when anything is fixed. That’s meant to be a double entendre.
A definition for the benefit for some of the commentariat: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/double%20entendre

Then why do liberals and all of the press keep sniveling about collusion for 2 years? All we have heard liberals say Hillary lost the election due to Russian collusion not her own horrible campaign, personality flaws and dishonestly. Tell your liberal buddies you have finally seen the light! I have said all along collusion is no crime. This no need for any investigation.
Collusion has always just been used as a catch-all word to make it easy for those who couldn’t be bothered to read or research.
They’re obvi in the redacted portions.
Or the alternative document.
Good try on the page numbers! You football analogy makes as much sense as your non replies.
You have to read every 17th letter- like the Bible Code.
Why would these protesters think Slick supposed sex workers?
https://ntknetwork.com/protesters-interrupt-bill-clinton-speech-demanding-decriminalization-of-sex-workers-worldwide/
That’s like saying “breaking the law” isn’t actually a crime.
Hey Andrew, another reply.. at least the 3rd. This is from the former assistant director of the FBI talking about the rampant abuse of the FBI, the justice department and the biased cabal Obama created. Didn’t Obama do this with the IRS too or are you denying that as well? So is this guy out of his mind too? BS!
So now can you and any liberal anywhere come up with anything TRUMP DID after all of the spying and biased investigations after a year and a half? Do you think the liars at CNN can name anything either even though they try to frame him for something on a daily basis? And it is still going on today. So come on little buddy, let’s hear something!
You may be the only guy in America that thinks this is an honest investigation. The liberals that support this know is its not honest and not fair but don’t give a rat’s ass. Which are you?
Have you come out of your crying closet just today or are you going back in exile again? Inquiring minds want to know.
Awwwwwww Nawwwwwww!!!!
Andrew schooled yet again!!!
As good a tutor as DTM has been to The Libs on here, I’m nominating him for Permanent Tenure! Any seconds?!
Second that!
Because I believe in dialogue, I watched this. It is in fact one opinion based upon the same limited information we all have, even well before the latest release of the FISA application, which still has so much redaction that we don’t know the full story.
I just don’t know why you would assume a legal conclusion without knowing all the facts, especially a conclusion that runs counter to what should be a deference to patriotic professionals.
You know you’re not Trump’s lawyers, right? He’s not paying you, and you can still otherwise like his policies and stuff, right? If you’re so concerned about the FBI, you should be equally concerned about the FSB.
Why not just say you’ll follow the facts as they get investigated? Because it’s so frustrating for your guy to endure an investigation? It doesn’t seem like it’s slowed down his work, based upon the praises you give him, and the touting of all the productivity. Is it just so offensive to be accused? OK, be offended, but you still have to deal with it. By disclosing facts.
And yes, the IG should investigate all facts of the acts of the FBI as well.
At the conclusion of the investigations, I think not only Congress, but all of us, will be fully informed.
Judgment should be reserved for facts.
So your evidence, to support your position, is a Fox News clip of the opinion of a former FBI assistant director who retired in 20 years ago and has worked for Fox/Limbaugh ever since, and was a Trump supporter during the campaign.
That is not evidence, or support, homey. It is a hack doing what he gets paid to do.
This guy sounds out of his mind, and he also sounds like he didn’t read the FISA application. When he stated that we didn’t know if the FBI paid Source #1, and the FISA application printed early on in the document that the FBI compensated Source #1, that was a good indication that he’s making it up on the fly.
Do not answer a fool according to his own folly lest you also be like unto him. —Proverbs sump’n:sump’n
And of course this: “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.” Mark Twain.
And there is the standard Lib response: more insults! Now we conservatives are fools. And we’re Deplorables, racists, stupid, clingers, Bible Thumpers, gun-crazed, Hitler, haters of brown people, cultists…
And the mewling continues. Do you really have to ask why y’all lost in ’16? Just look at Trump’s rallies and see the enthusiasm! Trump will spend the entire two months after Labor Day holding rallies in different cities. Every day! You people are toast! MAGA!
There is no other response available to someone with an obvious inability to think for their self. The only arrows in the quiver seem to be ad hominem attacks, straw man arguments, blind support for anything Trump (even “We will benefit from reduced tariffs.. Trump is smart enough to know that.”), Whendidyoustopbeatingyourwife questions, and of course, “this is what the libs are thinking” statements that have been Limbaugh’s shtick for decades now. DTM posed his “collusion investigation/Trump investigation” loaded question (it is neither), for about a week hoping to get a bite so he could spring this video of an opinion piece as his idea of an argumentative coup de grâce when he was asked specifically to cite the flaws in the FISA warrants and not some bloggist’s opinion which he cannot or at least, has not done. Then you do the chess playing pigeon thing and shit yourself celebrating his coup. Now you tell me how you can argue against logic, or lack thereof like that?
We are supposed to be a nation of laws. We currently have a president who is attempting to undermine those principals and their supporters/enforcers on a daily basis. To not speak out against these actions is being complicit with a tyrant who is attacking the very structure of what Madison termed our constitutional republic.
Do you know how pitiful you guys sound on a daily basis? You sound like the darn Jerry Springer show! Have any of you liberals done anything to help the average American and get a job or make his life easier in the last 10 years? Much less after Trump has been elected… Why would anybody vote for this hatred and horrid agenda? I always wondered how O.J. Simpson got off… I could see if you guys were on the jury exactly how he did. There is nothing I can say to you that would convince you how biased it clearly is. The top 3 guys at the FBI have been fired. The guy overseeing the investigation said he should be fired. You have seen the quotes and testimony of a guy leading the investigation so biased it is hard to imagine he still has a job. Former head of the FBI telling you it is off the charts horrible, not one shred of evidence ANY Of YOU can point out, hundreds of folks being spiedbon and yet you don’t care. It’s pitiful.
So, YOU don’t trust the justice system, and YOU don’t trust the media, but you do trust a guy who lies about 6 times a day.
And you think we’re pitiful.
.
Dude, you are on an island and the tide is rising. Probably due to the global warming you don’t believe in.
Hell no I don’t, not with the guys leading the investigation. I wonder how you do.
Is this a reply? Limp.
Arguing with most Trump supporters is a waste of time since it requires arguing with the last words out of the mouth of serial liars.
Michael Cohen is an honest, honorable lawyer. Giuliani 06 May 2018
The fact as of today.
Michael Cohen is a pathological liar, we’ve known that for years. Giuliani 26 July 2018
Will says that “We are supposed to be a nation of laws. We currently have a president who is attempting to undermine those principals and their supporters/enforcers on a daily basis” . I agree with you.
As far as immigration, isn’t Trump simply enforcing laws that have been ignored? He is trying to keep illegals from streaming ILLEGALLY into this country. So wasn’t OBMAMA the president NOT ENFORCING the laws?
I will challenge your assertion…what particular laws is Trump not enforcing?
Humor us with a few so we can have a discussion…
Oh, and thank the Lord we will have another conservative Supreme Court pick! When is Ginsberg retiring? This certainly gives me a smile. Stronger economy, stronger America, stronger military, strongest energy producer on earth, enforced laws and borders, cops are respected…folks can figure this out despite the liberals somehow telling us this is bad and the blithering biased idiots in the media that no one trusts because their lips are moving. These are policies helping everyone. More freedom, less onerous regulations. Darn this is really great. And fewer and fewer listening to the hate, lies and socialist agenda. Time to have a stogie, a beer and watch the Braves. Not a single whiner taking a knee. America sure is better again!!
Question to liberals. If Vladimir Putin flies to Mexico, comes across our border illegally and goes to San Francisco and votes in US elections legally, are you okay with that? That is the new liberal position. Disband ICE. Let everyone in. Don’t be racist. No voter ID. Isnt that true Russian interference in our elections?
The only thing you got right was Don’t be Racist.
I guess you think only liberals think that way.
You’re wrong about that too.
But I can’t vouch for you personally.
Sorry dude. Nobody is buying your usual racist mantra! Try it yourself. How many folks do you think you know? Say 1000 or more easily. How many of YOUR friends are racist? Easy enough isn’t it?
No worries DTM. It’s just Snivler and The Race Rangers!!! Lol! It’s all they got. And America ain’t putting up with y’alls crap any longer!
If you want people to stop throwing the race card at you, maybe just once, or hopefully twice, say something in support of a minority, or a group supporting minority rights.
Vlad doesn’t need to vote in the election, he’s already got the Presidency.
Cute. Another question. I figure most of us have kids. If they graduated from college and became a Bernie Sanders supporter, would you make them pay you back for college?
Andrew, I don’t give a rat’s ass about ICE or ICE CUBE or Vanilla Ice…as you usual your question is irrelevant. It has NOTHING to do with the topic. Try Ritalin.
ICE isn’t Border Patrol sweetheart.
Is that part of the question? I don’t think so. But ICE’s job is to get rid of guys like Putin in the above example. So I guess you support no ICE! So your esteemed liberal mind is fine with this scenario?! Please put that in print okay? How about the rest of the libs here?
I can type ridiculous hypotheticals too.
Say Putin is running for your local school board.
You
a)evaluate his positions on the issues carefully and compare them to other candidates
b)could never vote for a murderous authoritarian who leads a long-time enemy of this country
c)wait to see who Trump endorses.
Please give your reasons.
I would deport his ass and not waste my time.
So, who are The Snowflakes wanting to ban this morning? Y’all are back to Alex Jones for the umpteenth time. Tell me, what are you Wussies so afraid of? I better call Robin Zander over at Cheap Trick get a version of The Speech Police in the works!! Keep it up, Lefties, keep it up!
https://mashable.com/2018/07/27/alex-jones-30-day-ban/#l3obEmMblSq4
Noway, they are trying to ban common sense! Wide open borders. No voter ID! Why do Americans want to pay for all of these folks? Newsflash!! THEY DONT!
Capitalism sucks. Capitalism sucks. Capitalism has reduced global poverty 50% since 1990. BUT not for these wizards of smart!! It is comical!
Go Bernie Go. Well lets get someone farther left than that!
If they become any more left wing, these poor folks will be flying in a circle. Speaking of a circle…
As usual, you don’t answer any questions. But apparently it is fine by you if Putin illegally comes in an runs for the local school board! That’s a good little lib.
Personally, I think we should go ahead and charge Putin with something so that if he does come to visit we can arrest him.
B, your idea might work. At least Putin will actually be in the US to be charged, unlike the two dozen other “fake” indictments The Dipshit drummed up purely for show!
If those guys broke the law they should be charged, whether they are here or not? Do you disagree with that?
The Dipshit is a show horse. All hat and no cattle. This aspect of his “investigation ” is a colossal waste of time and money.
That sounds like a no. If it’s a waste of time that would mean they shouldn’t have bothered. So you are saying that even though they broke the law, we shouldn’t bother charging them with anything. Therefore they would still be free to travel to and from the USA with no repercussions I guess.
.
And yet, you are all-in for arresting refugees from areas where murder and torture is rampant and deporting them back to the place they escaped from.
.
So at this point, you have drunk so much of the kool-aid that, since The Chosen One has criticized Mueller, that is your signal to reject anything that Mueller does. Without thought, without even common sense.
More hate?! Children now? Wow! No surprise there, I guess.
Let’s cut to the chase. Leftists desire to jettison the Bill of Rights. They do not believe in free speech for anyone other than themselves They sure as hades do not believe in the free exercise of religion. And don’t even mention the right to bear arms. Scratch a leftist and you will uncover a fascist.
Full Venezuela baby! ( but without their border control)
Let’s just speak in general terms, Sniv. Why is your side tryi g to silence conservative points of view? Whatever could you be so afraid of? Whether Constitutionally Protected or not? Why all the effort to silence opposing political viewpoints? Why??
Oh and speaking of not answering a question, you never did tell us how you felt about the 528 Real Americans who saved The Republic by electing W. Describe Your Rage. And please, be honest.
Wow!!!! A Lib talking free market!!! Aren’t you worried that you’ll have to turn in your shiny brass bust of Lenin??
And Sniv…one more thing: only one more Real American than you come November! Lol!
I think most of us agree that free trade is a good thing. Don’t we want better trade deals? The US and EU is 50% of the world market. No trade war, freer trade. Don’t we have all of the leverage? Why not cut better deals? Why was this not done before?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=075wnswOddA
Oh good Lord. Here is the new liberal Messiah….how is this young dimwit socialist going to fix our ills? Now folks, a whole bunch of folks on this here blog love this babe! So do you guys support this agenda!? More taxes, gut the military, a carbon tax…and God knows what?! I give up, why would anyone even bother to work in this country if these idiots were elected? Lets just sit on our rear ends and get the guaranteed minimum income that Obama and this nitwit are supporting! I hate to be ugly, but someone help explain how any of this bilge can work!! Go for it!
I have to go do some work now darn it…If only I got that minimum income so I could sit here in my pink hat and whine all day long!

“There you go again” touting a Trump move to walk back a portion of his assault on free trade and then praising his attempt at a partial retreat as a victory. But his methodology on practically everything is usually an overreach followed by restatements, recriminations, and retreats. His protectionism moves have been the total opposite of free trade and not those of a fiscal conservative. You don’t believe me now labeled by this blog’s resident troll as a “lib”, then read the following from those famous libs, the Koch brothers:
“The policies right now are hurting people,” Brian Hooks, president of the Charles Koch Foundation and Charles Koch Institute, told reporters Saturday. “But they’re also doing very long-term damage to the country…
The divisiveness of the White House is causing long-term damage,” he said. “When in order to win on an issue, somebody else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite people to solve the challenges in this country.
James Davis, a spokesman for the network, criticized the $12 billion Trump has pledged in aid to farmers hurt by falling commodity prices triggered by the president’s expanding trade war with China, Canada and other countries that are significant purchasers of U.S. pork, soybeans and other agricultural products.
“It’s a bailout of bad policy,” Davis said.
The network, like many traditional Republican groups, has long opposed protectionism and promoted the benefits of free trade. ”

You’re making sense, therefore, the 33% won’t be able to understand it. Can you dumb it down by using insults, dehumanizing language in ALL CAPS and misspelled words?
Will, I think you are dead right. Trump’s tariffs are harmful on first blush. They are an in the face additional tariff to hurt the ones with the high tariffs in the first place. By eliminating those tariffs at the bargaining table we win. We were getting boned. What happened in the EU? Less tariffs. Would not have happened without the pressure. No one has applied it before. We are already in a trade war with China. We import 10x more than we send to them. We will win. They have more to lose. I want no tariffs… Tariffs are taxes. Another reason I think the socialist agenda is absurd and never wins over time. Massive taxes, little incentive. Massive taxes are nothing more than indentured servitude if you ask me…

It’s all about the right amygdalas, an area of the brain that’s associated with expressing and processing fear.
Ginny, thanks for the post about the 9th District ruling that actually made sense. Maybe they got tired of walking through needles and human excrement to get to their offices, because here’s another sensible thing they just did:

I actually saw this on TV when it happened and was sickened by the alt-left freaks being allowed to physically attack peaceful people who were simply leaving a Trump rally and going to their cars. And of course the lamestream media bleated after-the-fact, somehow blamed it on Trump supporters — like their usual phony coverage to brainwash the public. Good thing people had actual videos to present to the court; it’s high time the left-wing fascists who try to shut down free speech be held accountable.

A whole generation of racist serial liars and sexual assaulters? What could be better!
MDGA! (Make Degenerates Great Again)
Hilarious! Why does the religious right hold their nose and vote for Trump? Seriously? The leftist agenda is so hideous it has no choice!
Its anti religious, anti- family, anti- tradition, anti- US, anti- capitalism, anti-manners, anti -freedom, massive taxes, massive regulation and control, a totally negative vision of life…That’s it.
LMAO! B, are you one of Andrew and Carolina’s Race Rangers, too?? Good Lord, please do more of this…right up until Election Day!!!
ZZZzzzzzZZZzzzz….Better than Sominex!
By the time most puppies are a few weeks old, they open their eyes. The old saying goes that by the time an adult is 30, they become conservatives and grow out of their adolescent liberalism. You know they open their eyes…Isn’t it about that time for you Andrew? It might be more evidence that there really is a God!
B, try this. How many friends do you have? I have done this myself…How many of your friends are racists, serial liars and sexual assaulters? What number did you come up with? Or maybe what % did you come up with? So don’t those numbers just make you look like a serial liar,at least pertaining to your last statement? I don’t know you, but figure you are probably a pretty good guy. I doubt more than 1% of your friends are such reprobates. I had a hard time finding even one person that I know that is like that. Don’t you think many liberals might try coming up with something that is even REMOTELY TRUE? Crying wolf on a daily basis and making up so much BS makes the liberal message not even remotely believable. Another silly example of the liberal message is the constant panic over climate change. Is the earth really about to end when THE TRUTH IS we are currently living during one of the most docile 10,000 year period that the planet has seen?
