The Tipping Point

[Lesh]

Malcolm Gladwell had an interesting point.

Events sometimes pile up and there is no change...until they reach that one "tipping point" and everything starts tumbling.

I think the "phone call" was that tipping point and the subsequent Syria/ Kurd/Turkey craziness has put the gunnels in the water

Republicans are starting to find a backbone and career state department and defense department folks are speaking up

Meh, we'll see.

We don't seem to mind this stuff. Jeffrey Epstein is nothing new in serving children up to our pedophile aristocracy. And AG Barr helped in this cover up below as well. Note how no one is intereted in going after Epstein's recruiters, one of whom has ties to Israeli intelligence.

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a pair of political powerbrokers who had access to the highest levels of our government. Nebraska legislators attempted to expose the network in 1989 and 1990, but the legislators' efforts were followed by a rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering responses of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI and Justice Department, which effected an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network.

It's not that they are finding a backbone, it's that they are seeing how far the president has pushed things, and not even they can spin Trump's actions in a positive light.

And, Trump is getting crazier and crazier and saying stranger and stranger things as these scandals develop. Today, he said that the Kurds were very happy with the way things were going. So was Turkey.

No matter how much we like a person you only hurt them & your self if you defend them when they are wrong.

Cry Wolf!! (...on impeachment)

Most voters tune out the constant, ugly, "impeachment" whining by the democrats, who absolutely refuse to hold a House vote on authorizing the "impeachment inquiry". Hillary's recent do-over of calling Tulsi a "Russian asset" only proves how thin the democrat's playbook is. The dems have the "race card", the "reparations card", the "tax the rich card", the "Medicare for all card", and lately the "Russian asset card".

Trump is a shoo-in in 2020, thanks for having such dumb policies.
Maybe Hillary will jump into the 2020 race and save the day!!

Here are the rest of the democrats' stupid policies.
1. Open borders, tear down the southern border fence/wall
2. Sanctuary cities & states
3. Free college
4. Single Payer Healthcare, aka rationed healthcare, "Medicare for all"
5. Eliminate ICE and DHS, turn the US into the EU, with muslim "no go zones"
6. Promote Globalism, whatever Wall Street wants Wall Street gets, see K-Street Cash
7. Paris Climate Change Treaty where the US pays $trillions to poor countries
8. Stupid trade agreements, e.g tax breaks to move factories overseas
9. Let China run roughshod over the US for trade and intellectual property
10. Let NK develop nukes and ICBM delivery systems, have no one capable of dealing with NK
11. Raise taxes to 70% on the wealthy, especially on corporations so they relocate overseas
12. Opioid problem running rampant across the US
13. Gangs like MS-13 running rampant across the US
14. No steel or mining industries due to foreign "dumping" of subsidized products
15. No new pipelines
16. No offshore drilling
17. The dems' "Central Committee" appoints super-delegates to subvert real voters in primaries
18. Pack the US Supreme Court to promote liberal policies
19. Impeach anyone they deem not liberal enough, like Kavanaugh
20. Use the Federal Government to punish conservatives, like the IRS and Lois Lerner hounded conservatives
21. Use the Intel community to spy on the opposition party, like Hillary, FusionGPS, and the FBI/DOJ spied on Trump
22. Block voter ID laws to ensure fraud, and promote "vote harvesting" to steal elections
23. Refuse to provide funding for border walls/security, which DHS says is desperately needed.
24. Give $Trillions to Mexico and Central America for a Marshal Plan, but not help US citizens living in tent cities
25. Impose gun control, outlaw private gun sales, outlaw AR style rifles, restrict sales of bullets, etc.
26. "Green New Deal" Impose a "carbon tax" to punish anyone who works, heats their home, flies, or has a car
27. Anti-business democrat socialists caused Amazon to flee NYC taking 25,000 good paying jobs to VA
28. REPARATIONS to blacks to pay for slavery, $trillions owed by US voters
29. Excuse the murder of unwanted newborns, i.e. "infanticide"
30. Change the Electoral College to popular vote
31. All prisoners get to vote, even the Boston Marathon Bomber, so says Bernie
32. LGBTQ rights, trannys in military
33. Hunt down suspected white supremacists, increase domestic surveillance
34. Add Senators and congressmen for DC and Puerto Rico
35. Be sure that any "red flag" laws exclude gang members (only get those rural guns)
36. AOC wants full welfare for illegal immigrants

I voted for Trump, but I dislike many of the things that Trump has done and said. However, the alternative to Trump would be a Democratic communist that wants to socialize every aspect of America, abolish ICE, embrace open borders, destroy the economy and annihilate our nation's standard of living. No thanks. I'll stick with Trump.

Yup..Trump will hold on to the dead enders (and Russian trolls) to the bitter end

Of note...when Nixon resigned...he still had a 54% approval among Republicans

Why do you believe that a fascist or communist style of economics and governance is better for poor and middle-class Americans?

There are definitely cracks showing.

It remains to be seen whether they can paper them over again.

Yanno, rational people appreciate the lunacy. It's funny as hell and people like you don't get the joke because you are the joke.

REVEALED: Kurdish 'PKK' Terrorists Were Rebranded by Obama Officials to Dupe the U.S. Public - Big League Politics

 

[Lesh]

Really dude?

that's from this friggin nutjob site

Big League Politics is an American media website founded by former Breitbart News employees.[3][4] The site was announced in 2017 by one of its founders as an investigative outfit.[5] In early 2018, Big League Politics was acquired by Mustard Seed Media[6] which is owned by Reilly O'Neal and Noel Fritsch.[7] On its about page, Big League Politics states "We are not conservative. We are not liberal".[8] Its editor-in-chief is former Breitbart reporter Patrick Howley.[9] The Wall Street Journal describes the website as "backed by Republican operatives".[10]

The website has promoted conspiracy theories, on subjects such as QAnon and the murder of Seth Rich.[11][12][13] The New York Times described Big League Politics as "an obscure right-wing news site [...] which has promoted conspiracy theories and written favorably about white nationalist candidates."[14]
