The picture that sums up 2016


That picture is a classic. Alex gloating over the apoplectic leftist. I don't watch their shows. What was the Turk's spin on the incident? They obvious knew each other and, at first, seemed friendly but wow it escalated quickly. Real or WWF style to get rating for both their shows?

Highly doubt that - she's already won - just look at the map.

I would think all these Muslim terror attacks, including the ones that are happening in Europe with such frequency would give Billary voters some pause and reconsideration. Or at least make people wonder about her pledge to throw open the border and import even more unvetted people and "refugees," guaranteeing more crime and terror attacks. But, then again, for some people leftist politics over-comes any thoughts of self-preservation.

I had a professor who used to impart this parable to some of his classes:

You can put a rat in a maze and it may bang around a bit but eventually it will find the cheese at the center. You drop a man in that same maze and he will turn left when he should've turned right (or vice versa), smash his face into a wall and fall down, get up and then keep doing the same thing over and over again until he's lying in a pool of his own blood; and just before he's about to take his last breath he'll say, "Well, I never found the cheese...but at least I was right."

:P

"Great"?  I know it's your opinion, but somehow I doubt Trump's speech will go down in the history books as one of the "great" speeches of our times. 

What I heard, after lengthy criticisms of Hillary and the Obama administration, was the dominant theme of fear, and how our hero President Trump would protect and save us all from widespread violence and danger--both at home, as well as abroad.  Nothing new here.  Despots world wide have used fear as a mechanism to manipulate and control the populace for millennia. 

I thought the RNC was an embarrassing mess, sorely lacking in any depth, substance, or sophistication.  It looked more like a third-rate fanfest.  Even Alex Jones got in on the action for Chrissake, lol.  I'm surprised we didn't see Tommy and Dave cruise by in the convertible.  :D

Anyhoo, on to the DNC next.  I can hardly wait.  :P

I've had some second thoughts. Fear was a dominant theme of the speech. Let's face the facts though.  We live in very troubling times.  I would have preferred a more optimistic tone to the speech a la Reagan but Trump is definitely no Reagan. Maybe Trump went a little heavy on the law and order angle but it is understandable.

I saw a whole lot of Reagan in Pence. I think he's a man to watch -- he's got a direct way of communicating when he gets the chance to speak. Radio experience.

Trump read the speech hot and red, and the performance should worry anyone who was watching with enough distance to see the big monitor. It felt ... overcooked.

Edited -- it got all mangled.

I missed Pence's speech.  I'll give it a gander.

I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but Pence reminds me of this scene from Beetlejuice.

I've been laughing about this since last night. Might be my favorite moment from the entire campaign season.

Need meth to listen to the VP candidate speak, wish the presidential candidate would lay off the stuff before speaking.   Such are the times we live in.

I`m NOT sure even Jesus could save a fucktard like you.........but I`m willing to let Him give it a whirl. Turn or burn, asshole. It`s your choice.

I used to think MV was hard on you. I don't anymore. You're not helping Christianity with your behavior.

The sad thing is the poor bastard really thinks he can carry on through life as a selfish scumbag and be "saved".

The fact remains Trump is still hated by many in his own party.  I wouldn't be surprised if these guys secretly vote for the Dems.

http://www.vocativ.com/343679/gop-senators-skip-the-rnc-for-these-terribly-important-photo-ops/

Dozens of other Republican lawmakers offered up excuses for not goingâ€"from the legitimate (Texas Governor Greg Abbott is recovering from a nasty burn) to the clearly rude (Arizona’s other Senator, Jeff Flake, said he had to mow his lawn). But the cake goes to Nebraska’s Sen. Ben Sasse, who said that instead of attending, he’d â€œtake his kids to watch some dumpster fires across the state.”

Rofl so much for "body positivity." 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A0k3-X-_NTY
And, hypocrisy again, she had 'work' done on her nose. I'm not against plastic surgery, though never had it done, but just point out that these feminist radicals are always talking about 'shaming' and 'body positivity' etc just she gets a nose job, wears sexy clothes, wears make-up, hair-stylists, etc. Why would that be needed to report news with a leftist bent? It is actually 'sexist,' right?

Christians aren't supposed to talk like that.  Take a step back and ask yourself how Christ would act under the same  circumstances.  Your pride and lack of humility will be your downfall.  I say this as a fellow Christian and conservative who happens to agree with you much of the time except for the NeverTrump nonsense.
