I didn't care for his never-Trumpism but Chaffetz was a useful member of the team otherwise. In truth I'd rather trade McStain for him any day.

I'd have traded him or Lindsey et al for a sack of scat and a kick in the groin!  Anything to make them go away!   ::outrage::

I can't figure out how to fix it or recall what it was...so I just whacked it.

Short-term memory issues, eh?   ::facepalm::

Wait, where am I?   ::whatgives::

IMO if Bannon goes...

Well, it will mean the Trump Admin will look more like W's than the insurgency we were wisely cautiously hoping for...

And...in terms of the new general-heavy inner-circle...I wonder if this -

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-says-u-s-losing-afghan-war-tense-meeting-generals-n789006

- is deliberate on Trump's part to keep the military engaged and not thinking of war with Russia?

We got a win here:

Antifa = Alt Left

Quote
In one fell swoop, the God-Emperor changed the rhetorical game:

    “What about the 'alt-left' that came charging at, as you say, the 'alt-right'? Do they have any semblance of guilt?” Trump said. “They came charging with clubs in their hands,” he said of the counter-protesters.

    Trump effectively reopened the debate, despite insistence from politicians in both parties that white supremacists and other racists deserved to be singled out.

    “You had a group on one side that was mad, and you had a group on the other side that was violent. Nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say that,” he said.

    Trump defended the cause of those who gathered to protest the removal of a statue honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy.

    “Was George Washington a slave owner. So will George Washington lose his status?” he said. “What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? Do you like him? ... You’re changing history. You’re changing culture.”

    While Trump condemned the driver who rammed the crowd and killed a counter-protester, he declined to label the action specifically as an act of terrorism.

That's the power of the bully pulpit. And that's the work of a master of rhetoric in action. Trump is right to decline to label the action of the driver as terrorism, because the chances are extremely good that he's never going to face trial.

This is not the first time someone has run over and killed protesters blocking the road. In previous cases, the drivers were found not guilty of any wrongdoing. No doubt the video of masked antifas smashing the car with metal bars is going to go a long way towards exculpating the killer driver
.

In the face of the Fake News interrupting him as though he wasn't even the President, he changed the narrative.  When he had "alt-right" thrown at him, he challenged them to define "alt-right".

Not too shabby, I say.

Yes, I can give credit where credit is due, and since I started this thread I would say Trump has redeemed himself in many ways.  I just hope he keeps it up.  Surely he knows that the cacophony of phony outrage from the media is irrelevant. Those aren't the people who brought him to the dance.

A Glock post!   ::whoohoo::

As for this latest broadside on the leftist meme, yes, this is in Trump's wheelhouse...like with us, beating the Goebbels Media in the face is fun and necessary...

It's unfortunate the credit earned is offset by an inability to purge statists from government ranks (another indicator that "reform" is a fools errand...only ending agencies and departments wholesale or gutting them to a mere shadow of their former gargantuan stature will do!) and rollback all of the previous layers of tyranny left by Obama & Co and to be fair predecessors as well (which highlights the utter uselessness of the GOP in its current establishment-dominated contamination...like government department it needs to be ended...no amount of trimming will do!)...

That there is NO GOP stomach for this in the lest indicates something important, yes?

I would be much more appreciative of Trump if he just went total rogue...he has no allies as I alluded to back in the primaries...the Left will hate him because they know nothing else - they are raised to hate others not in their cult...the GOP hates him because he won't go along with their brand of fecklessness failure and incompetence or their version of Big Government...so WTF, why not go full rogue?  Issue edicts, defy courts and congress...appeal only to The People and hang the rest!

The GOP is done.  If you can't even denounce political violence in all forms you will never have my vote.  What pussies.  Every last one of them.

As for Trump, I'm convinced he doesn't even want a second term and is going to go all out in this term.  Because he is the only voice of sanity in this.  He knows it and he doesn't care a whit what the trash in journalism writes about him.

Yes, the GOP is done and good riddance. I often wonder how different our situation might be today if we hadn't effectively been wasting our money, time, energy, and votes on Republicans for the past 30 years. "This isn't the hill to die on" and "well it's either us or the Democrats, and they're even worse" were the two weapons they wielded. They have finally lost their power.

So let's see, during most of the Obama administration the GOP made repealing ObamaCare the centerpiece of their pitch to the American people.  When was ObamaCare enacted, 2010?  And I think the House portion was rammed through on Christmas Eve 2009, or somewhere around then.

At any rate they had a good 7 years of using it for propaganda and massive fund raising.  We also gave them control over both houses of Congress largely on that issue. So you would think with Trump winning the White House, repealing it would be a slam dunk. But no. It's just like we discussed back in 2010, once a massive new bureaucratic apparatus is created, it never goes away. No matter which party created it, once the other party finds themselves in control of it they can't resist the temptation of holding that kind of power.

I am fine with most of what Trump has done, with the notable exception of Syria back in April. Every time the media clutches their pearls over his bombast, his crude dismissal of their sophistry, I laugh. Same goes for the Lindsey Grahams and John McTumors of the GOP.

We didn't send Trump there to play by their rules. We sent him there to be a bull in a china shop, with the full understanding that there might be unavoidable collateral damage.

Not good.

Yup, now there is no voice of ours in his ear...

 ::facepalm::

Oh well, good thing I have very low expectations, eh?!

My Plan A is still Plan A.

I hope this isn't same lame ass strategy for kissing up to E-GOP asshats in the hope that the latter is somehow going to suddenly become more cooperative with him...that crap is DOA!

While candidate Trump correctly spoke of the Iraqi War as a disaster
and US Middle Eastern policy as a failure, he has done little to
alter course in the region,
but continues to follow and has, in some instances, escalated tensions.

You mean to tell me that Donald Trump is a fake and a con man?

Well I never…

LOL – the American People – more stupid than anyone on the planet. I’ve
talked to random people in other countries who know more about
what our country is up to than your typical fat ass, reality TV
watching, pig garbage-eating, dumb-faced American.

I’ll enjoy watching the American Empire dissolve under the current
mismanagement. It was going to anyway no matter who won the
election but now they’re pouring gas on the fire.

Well, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer country.

LOL
