And that's written by a conservative commentator!   :biggrin:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I cannot take anymore than 15-30 minutes of news media in any genre. The "play-by-play" narrative is among the most depressing and horrendous I have ever witnessed in my life; no matter what slant is applied by the chosen venue. Including social media.

I sometimes feel as if I am living within a surreal Stephen King or Dean Koontz horror novel.  :spooked: :mad:

He also filed with the FEC for the 2020 election on the day of the inauguration.

He and Bannon are in this for the long haul.

What they have stirred up in people is dangerous.  In a way, I feel sorry for Trump because he's too underqualified and ill-tempered to handle the job. 

I suppose the best we can hope for is that most of his cabinet picks turn out well, that the public and his handlers can reign him in on foreign policy, and that 20-30% of voters will come to their senses before November of 2020.   I'm not optimistic though.   :rolleyes:

I do not believe this nation can survive 4 years of his tyranny, much less 8.  :mad: :eek: :mad:

That describes us perfectly!

Should be fun!  :biggrin:

It does describe us perfectly, however while it may be amusing for a period of time to see these sheep being slaughtered, I fear the fact the Raging Cheeto holds the reigns of power surrounding this nations arsenal of weapons, including those of mass destruction, and how he might utilize them against the majority of the population that opposes his tyranny.

Theoretically, this nation could be left in worse condition than Soviet Russia during the cold war.  :yes:

Trump and Bannon have each said sometime during the past few years that they want to destroy American society as we know it.

That's what they want!  They want us to overload and walk away which we can not do.  Take a step back and do something to take your mind off of it for a while and then return with renewed vigor!

I'm watching the fucker at the National Prayer Breakfast.   His innate narcissism comes out in every single speech he makes, be it in this venue, or elsewhere.  It's always more about him and his accomplishments than it is the subject matter at hand.

I find it strange that you didn't notice it in Obama when he always looked down his nose while talking and it was always all about him and not the people.

The real irony is that you squalled like a scalded cat when your perception of President Obama held such an opinion, but say nothing when the Raging Cheeto actually is worse than your perceptions of the former.
