I’ve asked this directly to some people and they refused to respond. So I thought I’d give the topic it’s own thread and see where it goes. I’m guessing not far.
The Rules.
1). A simple yes or no answer will suffice. Feel free to expound to your heart’s content.
2). Please do not say...
Took a trip up to the NE over the last two weeks and was able to visit the National Archives to view the founding documents. First, the National Archives, I say, sadly need to be Trumped as is the language these days. The rules for viewing the documents are stupid (no photography), a festival...
For the life of me, I never quite understood why the 60 vote threshold was there to start with. As I understand, it was even more severe in the past which is even more bizarre. Having a 51 vote threshold in the Senate is what it should be.
While we are on the subject, the Dems are wrong for...
From the campaign; the promise was that Individuals making $25,000 or less and couples making $50K or less will pay $0.00 in Taxes:

New York (CNN)Donald Trump is vowing to drastically cut income taxes for millions of Americans across the wealth spectrum while casting aside loopholes popular...
Dear Mods:
Its rarely worth the battle any longer that phony baloney is so common so I am hoping that the Mods will help get rid of the fake news OPs. This will likely mean a quarter of your posts in the politics forums so there is a risk.
But the upside would be getting more donations.
It...
Whenever right wing nut jobs here are charged with racist opposition to Obama, they quickly try to erect the defense that it was "never about race" and "always about policy differences." The game of golf and presidential involvement (along with volumes of other evidence) prove it was always...
Yes folks, one of the POTUS inaugural shindigs is actually being called the Deploraballs. It’s open to the public…for the price of only $500 per person for General Admission. Fiver hundred dollars; $2K for a family of 4. And it’s being held the day before the inauguration…. There is no...
The Order of Friendship
It was given to the man who President Elect Trump is considering for his Secretary of State
While I’m dubious of any suggestion of a conflict of interest
When it comes to Mr. Tillerson’s business holdings…
Perhaps we should treat our adversaries a bit more cautiously...
As if that needed to be said!!!
Look, there are 2 separate questions here.
Did Russian hackers (or hackers of any nationality for that matter) try to influence the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Election. I would be shocked if they didn’t try. I’d be equally shocked if our election...
First a poem by Lance Corporal Jame M. Schmidt: I’m sure you’ve heard it but I think it’s apropos for the Season:
T'was the night before Christmas, he lived all alone
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone
I had come down the chimney, with presents to give
And to see just who, in...
The good news is that the metrics are all very easy to measure. While “greatness” is depending on the eye of the beholder…there are far more concrete items that Mr. Trump stated that provide adequate yardsticks for us to use.
He said that if you make less than $50,000 as a family, you’re going...
For those of you not indoctrinated into Matrx-lore….watch this.
Trump is Neo.
I feel like Morpheous….total disbelief on my face although I recognized a minute possibility.
The lead Agent is Obama…so sure of victory
Bill and Hillary (or Hillary and Kaine) are the other 2 agents
Trump’s...
Was sleeping on and off. I turned on CSPAN a few hours ago and the talking head on there was saying that Podesta gave the “concession” speech and Hillary didn’t show up?
Is this true?
If so, that is just about the weakest ploy I’ve seen from a politician for some time.
With the outcome still in some level of doubt…. I wanted to do this:
CK…I have to hand it to you. You saw something I not only didn’t see, but something I denied existed. Your prophetic calling of the race reigned supreme and for that, you deserve so many accolades; there is little I can...
Given it’s Election Day in America (Republicans vote tomorrow of course), I would like to see the full picture of the cadre of luminaries we have display their analytical chops. So its time to reset the ignore list.
Should be fun.
The outcome was never in doubt. The only question is how much a stink the Trump supporters will try to create; not if it will matter or not....it won't
Lets entertain the rather humorous thought that the Democrats can orchestrate voter fraud in enough places to sway the election anyway they wanted (and ignore that they forget how every off year) and the equally humorous thought that the media was fully on board with the Democrats and would do...
Question for Trump Supporters only. Please no liberals for a day or two.
Why in the world would any of you put any weight behind the effort to elect someone who was clearly mocking a reporter with a physical disability? Why wasn't that the end of consideration?
Mathematics:
Lets look at the supposed hack job….
Vlad Has Hillarys' 30,000 Deleted E-Mails
FBI finds 15k more of the Hillaloon's emails
So we have
30,000
23,000
15,000
68,000
We’ll round it up to 70,000 just for the sake of making the math easier for Trump followers to understand they are...
Make your own joke of the headline...
What is not a joke is that Mr. Trump had conceded VA and it's critical 13 electoral votes to President err I mean Secretary Clinton.
Trump's Campaign Is 'Pulling Out of Virginia'
The story says he's reduced to running a four state campaign at this...
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread but he has basically thrown in the towel and anointed Ms. Clinton, the President Elect.
As someone brilliantly said (me), he could have saved us a bunch of trouble by just giving his concession speech at the convention.
Trump on Commission for Presidential...
I hear that the Secretary of Defense is going to be the current Undersec named Michele Floury. Not sure how that affects other selections but given that Susan Rice was the runner up to Kerry for the current slot; I would think she would be a natural for Clinton’s SoS. Two of the Big Four being...
He’s too much of a gentleman to do it but I think Governor Romney will get a lot of satisfaction if he gets more votes than Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump and his supporters seem bent on being as “deplorable” as possible as is their nature.
There will be an 11/9 folks. Try to keep some dignity.
There is a website called 270towin.com.
You can make an electoral college map there.
Would you be so kind as to make a prediction as to what you think is going to happen on 11/8 so we have a record and can compare notes on the 9th?
Here is mine. I didn’t fill in states for Trump (we all...
