  3. Yep. You're right. Now what are the chances that we actually get a vote?
  4. SCOTUS nominees still need 60 votes.
  5. I have purposely stayed out of this conversation but I will now chime in. You have a much inflated opinion of yourself that is not proven to be true in your written word. You are simply a person that we here call an asswhole.
  6. Just make sure you don't have a super sized soda with you when you're caught.
  7. You still make it flow backwards by stuffing stuff up your ass and talking schit.
  8. I'm sure the punishment he gets here saves him a lot of money that he would be spending at Madame X's place. https://www.yelp.com/biz/madame-x-new-york
  9. Ah, a full scale crusade.
  10. Hey, without Ed Asner and Lena Dunham's relevancy we would just crumble as a country.
  11. What don't you get about this? "It is the foundation of the country, so to speak, the glue that’s holding it together. And think about what happens when you destroy the foundation of a house. It comes crashing down, right?" Without Hollywood we would have no culture.
  12. Have you ever heard the one about glass houses and stones?
  13. http://uspostman.com/2017/01/15/celebrities-call-total-hollywood-strike-trump-resigns/ “We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops,” a spokesperson for the Refuse Racism group told The New York Times. “It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around.” Asked to elaborate on why the group is targeting Hollywood out of all the industries in the country as their bargaining chip, the spokesperson argued that Hollywood “is, simply put, the base of the entire modern American culture. It is the foundation of the country, so to speak, the glue that’s holding it together. And think about what happens when you destroy the foundation of a house. It comes crashing down, right? Well, that’s exactly what’s going to happen to America unless Donald Trump realizes how real the danger of that actually is, and chooses to step down as President of his own free will. And while we’re on the subject, between you and me – nobody wants Hollywood to stop doing its thing, but this is a necessary move.”
  14. I know. I was personally offended too.
  15. http://dont-tread-on.me/?p=1348 George Soros Interview On 60 Minutes When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews. KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps. Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made. KROFT: In what way? Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and–and anticipate events and when–when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a–a very personal experience of evil. KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson. Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes. KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews. Mr. SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes. KROFT: I mean, that’s–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult? Mr. SOROS: Not–not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t–you don’t see the connection. But it was–it created no–no problem at all. KROFT: No feeling of guilt? Mr. SOROS: No. KROFT: For example that, ‘I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.’ None of that? Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c–I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was–well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets–that if I weren’t there–of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would–would–would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the–whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the–I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
  16. Some concession. On par with HRC? Bush became chairman of the Harris County Republican Party in 1963. The following year, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas. It didn't take long for Bush to enter Congress, however; in 1966, two years after his unsuccessful Senate bid, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, ultimately serving two terms. Bush was later appointed to several important positions, including U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 1971, head of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal, U.S. envoy to China, and director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976. Let's not forget that he was a decorated pilot in WW11 and was Vice President for 8 years and a successful businessman. As far as varied pertinent experience he had about as much as you could get before becoming President. HRC on the other hand was fired from the Watergate Commission, spent a few years as a largely ineffective Senator and was part of a FUBARED foreign policy. No, the only thing they have in common is that they both like kitty.
  17. All we need is a thread about gay marriage to become great again here.
  18. You guys need to understand Trump. He is a negotiator by trade. He is going to ask for more than what he is willing to accept. Understand and take his words with a grain of salt when he is addressing specific deals. Just step back and judge by the results rather than his initial rhetoric.
  19. Quit spewing out the left's propaganda. Do you actually think she has more experience than this guy had? http://www.biography.com/people/george-hw-bush-38066#congressman-and-vice-president George Herbert Walker Bush was born on June 12, 1924, in Milton, Massachusetts. The son of Senator Prescott Bush, he was born into a wealthy and politically active family. Bush attended Phillips Academy, an elite boarding school in Andover, Massachusetts. He began dating his future wife, known as Barbara Pierce at the time, after they were introduced at a Christmas dance in 1941. Bush was 17 years old at the time, and Barbara was just 16. (They married in January 1945.) On his 18th birthday, Bush enlisted in the U.S. Navy, becoming the youngest pilot in the Navy during World War II. He served as a combat pilot in the war, flying carrier-based torpedo bomber aircraft and a total of 58 combat missions. He had a brush with death when his plane was hit during a bombing run in the Pacific. After managing to escape the burning aircraft, he was quickly rescued by a U.S. Navy submarine. Bush was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his WWII service. After the war, Bush attended Yale University, where he graduated with a degree in economics in 1948. He later moved to Midland, Texas, where he found success in the oil and petroleum industry. Congressman and Vice President Bush became chairman of the Harris County Republican Party in 1963. The following year, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas. It didn't take long for Bush to enter Congress, however; in 1966, two years after his unsuccessful Senate bid, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, ultimately serving two terms. Bush was later appointed to several important positions, including U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 1971, head of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal, U.S. envoy to China, and director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976. Bush then set his sights on the U.S. presidency, but failed to win his party's nomination in 1980, losing it to his opponent, Ronald Reagan. Bush would make it to the White House soon after, however: He was chosen as Reagan's vice-presidential running mate. Reagan won the 1980 election, defeating Democrat challenger Jimmy Carter. He was re-elected in 1984, with Bush serving as his vice president for both terms. U.S. Presidency Bush finally reached the White House's top seat in 1989; he won the 1988 election against Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis, becoming the first sitting vice president to be elected president since 1837. During his nomination acceptance speech at the 1988 Republican National Convention, Bush famously stated, "Read my lips: No new taxes." During his presidency, Bush skillfully handled foreign affairs during a tumultuous time for the nation. Just months into his first term, he responded to the dissolve of the Soviet Union and oversaw the U.S. military's removal of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from power. Not long after, Bush responded to then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait (August 1990), creating a national coalition and leading a military strike to drive Hussein out of the oil-rich country. Bush's handling of the invasion in Kuwait is largely viewed as his greatest presidential success.
  20. Ignorant moron? Is that sort of like a smart genius? Nice way to communicate. Also, nice way to edit your post to provide a link after I was off that page.
  21. Listen BF, You provided no links in your OP and if I recall correctly that is your MO. It's your job to back up your statements. Don't be a Sue and ask me to do your work for you.
  22. Just in case he really did put you on ignore, I'll play the messenger on your behalf by posting this.
  23. So far all I've seen from you is you stating that he lied. So, if it's so easy to check then show us, otherwise I'll assume that this is just another example of you attempting to repeat something often enough to try to make it sound true.
  24. How do you know that they are lies?
