Don't even try to pretend that true-blue conservative opposition to Trump isn't aesthetic. Liberals are not the only self-appointed intellectuals guilty of vanity in this epoch of American culture.
It's politics, boys and girls. You do unsavory things in pursuit of the least bad outcome. Good lord.

As I have posted before on here, USA immigration laws permit those who enter the country illegally or overstay their visa, to be deported and then after a five year waiting period, can reapply for entry. Those are laws currently on the books that so many do not know about or do not want to know about, because it doesn't fit the meme of deporting illegals means they are sentenced to a life of starvation, death, etc. in their home country.

1) He calls Gang of Eight a mistake, but that suggests Tunio wants to do anything substantive different, which Rubio refuses to enunciate
2) Ignores CASA, which to me is as big a deal if not moreso than Gang of Eight. At least you can plausibly think Rubio got pushed by leadership to go in on the Gang of Eight. You can't make that argument for CASA.
3) We should vote for the guy who has one fifth place finish and no first place finishes because he's the most "electable."

You could tell from the Oscars lineup it would just be one person after another telling you how horrible you are. Who wants to sit and listen to that for 10 hours? No sane person.
Also Stacey dash keeps being on every list of worst moments at the Oscars. But they blame her specifically, not the writers that did a horrible job of writing that lame bit. Do they think she wrote it herself? She looked lovely though.

This woman was angry at her husband --- so she beheaded a four year old child she was hired to care for. WTF?
Islam encourages anger, not peace.
It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass
murderer. That is one reason why criminals "convert" to Islam in prison.
They don't convert at all; they similarly remain the angry judgmental
vicious beings they always have been.... Islam does not inspire a crisis
of conscience, just inspirations to outrage.

I turned it on for just a few moments and watched a few presenters come out. Every single one a "person of color". Knowing that the Oscars were under fire for not nominating every black actor/actress who made a movie or documentary this past year, it seems so forced.
I have little use for most of the Hollywood Elite. So watching their little party last night trying to be PC and relevant was way down on my list of interesting things to do.

and Romney, two squish ring-kissers who never promised to do anything
conservative or even disruptive, who are well known RINOs, and who most
importantly never even sniffed a 5 point lead in their races against a
lying creampuff narcissist, are willing to throw up their hands and
start whinging about Hillary's inevitability in FEBRUARY because they
don't care for Trump's pronunciation of "China."
Don't even try to pretend that true-blue conservative opposition to

Speaking of lyin'... Our polling place has moved from the church on top of the hill to that modern-like church off the other side of the highway. Better in/out access, I guess, but I liked the old place.
Tomorrow Milady and I will cast our meaningless votes into the political barrel. (Looking for large clothespins for the noses right now.) Presumably, once again I'll be able to say I voted for the guy who didn't win.

Yes. Decided I wanted to learn to golf. Took lessons, bought clubs.
Then started going to Top Golf. And only aiming for the 140-yard target. With my 7 iron. Couldn't hit any other club, never aimed for any other target, but I could drop it every time, 140 yards with a 7-iron. Finally--barely--managed to quit the habit.
Ant-golf.

"Dambusters" was a great movie (and that march, Damn), but they never used that technique again. It used up a lot of aircrew. Of course, shortly afterward, we were trying real hard to preserve dams in that area (Roer, nor Ruhr), not knock them out.
Harking back to a well-informed but wild-swinging exchange on Book Thread, the damage to the industrial area beneath those dams was not long-lasting. Probably "worth doing," but it didn't create near the chaos they'd hoped for.

Another perspective that works better for Trump is "America First" or "Globalist". Trump is winning some union worker support (not the union bosses) by pushing America First. Clinton policy in sharing our nuke tech in the 90's with China was "multipolarity", a balance of powers maintained by US sharing our tech.
Of course all the globalist happy talk enriches a few, and belittles our national heritage.

Rush, and even Hannity to some extent, pal around with all of these people. I was surprised (shouldn't have been) to hear Rush talk about the many times he has had dinner with Megyn Kelly, and that she had been a guest at his house. It's just the way it is. Do I think they (Rush Hannity) are conservatives? Yes. But I think both are averse to making enemies which is why neither will support anyone in the primary.
This is why I like Levin more. Pulls no punches. Picks a candidate. Tells it like he sees it. Doesn't have as many friends in high places as a result. FOX hates him--Hannity is the only one that ever has him on.

Being deluged with Hillary the Inevitable ads.
She's going to for the black vote big time. One of the ads begins with "Would the Flint water situation happened in Grosse Pointe? Or Bloomfield Hills?"
Umm.. no. Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills are are not being run by corrupt politicians and are not going bankrupt. Flint went bankrupt due to decades of black, democratic leadership, and then had to have an emergency manager.
So.. no emergency manager, no water situation.
No corrupt democrats, no corrupt black politicians, no water situation.

"jezzuz gawd."
Actually, I applaud this. The 9/11 Commission Report was full of redactions, which is ridiculous nonsense.
And it's clear why those redactions were there. To protect our "friends" the Saudis. To conceal Clinton-era incompetence. And to conceal similar Bush-era incompetence.
I'm perfectly okay dragging ALL of that stuff out in the harsh direct sun.
But really, what the nation would do well with would be a second Commission, this one not stocked to the rafters with insiders, including ones implicated in the chain of causation of the attacks. (Jamie Gorelick herself sitting on the Commission? You gotta be shitting me.)
Also, as detailed in Shenon's book on the work of the Commission, the staff found a ton of new evidence in the NSA archives at literally the last minute, after the report had been written, voted on, approved, and sent to the printers. Instead of continuing their work and including this new material in an annex to the main report, the commissioners just... quietly ignored its existence. Nothing to see here! Move along, you looky-loos!

Those transplant teams bring in a ton of money for hospitals and they'll just bully lower level medical staff out of the way to get to the warm fresh meat.

The key is that New York and California are the absolute linchpins of any Democratic route to general election victory. Without both of them as the automatic starting points of the D electoral college vote, it is physically impossible for any Democrat to win the presidency. If Hillary lost NY, even if she went on to win [i[every single "swing state," she'd still lose the overall election.
All Trump would have to do is just campaign in NY and nowhere else, blanketing the state with ads as well, and Hillary could not overcome the barrage. (And even if he didn't campaign there at all, his name recognition alone would probably be enough for him to win there.)
THen with NY's electoral votes plus the not-even-in-play solid Republican states, he's already over 270 electoral votes. Game over.
If the goal is to keep Hillary out of the White House, this should be at least a bit encouraging.

Yes. And as Mark Steyn notes, Trump's position on suing media people for libel will favor that lying shitbag Michael Mann over Steyn. And Steyn is being sued for 6 figures and says if Mann wins, he (Steyn) will be finished. That's why Steyn is making silly "show tunes with cats" albums now - to pay for his legal costs.
So - we'll have two candidates for president who are happy to shit all over the 1st Amendment. But wherever and whatever Donald shits on is just fine according to the Trump-ettes. Until the day he takes a dump on them.

When my mom died in 2009, she had a donor thing on her license for donating her eyes, retinas or whatever they take when you donate them. She had just barely passed away (a day prior) and the donor people called me to remind me she had listed that as her preference. I was a bit taken aback that they didn't even pass along even the vaguest hint of condolences before the rather firm reminder she had this on her license. The person I talked to was rather cold.

If the Democrats want to play the double-reverse sneaky-deaky sleight-of-hand strategy of tricking the Republicans into voting for the "wrong" candidate, it will backfire spectacularly.
The Ds have no more idea of what the future holds than does anyone else. They may think they can beat Trump, but so did Jeb, Carson, Cruz, Rubio and the rest. Ooops.
I am not a Trump supporter, but I would be gleeful if he stomped Hillary into oblivion.

Where is the evidence? Your evidence is his words which contradict his public actions. He can get by with saying these things because everyone already think they know him. He is as good or better than the other candidates because he has a moderate (by contemporaneous definition, not mine) record. Read his books. Watch his shows. Google his deals. That is his record. Joan Rivers would support him.
Jeb or Rubio would already be the nominee if Trump didn't say outrageous things. No candidate could win following your suggestions and the winning candidate won't get your vote.

According to Hume, Trump is going to be the Republican nominee and he will lose badly in the general election against Hillary. He didn't explain why he thought that way, just said it as opinion.
He also said that the Republicans will possibly lose the Senate and could lose the House. Because of Trump, I guess.
He also said that Hillary will not be indicted, because he has read numerous legal opinions on having a private server in your home and some say it is illegal and other's say it's not. So he believes the Justice Department will go with no indictment, because when you think about it, when a major party nominates someone to run for President, is it really good for the country to have that person be indicted for something that really isn't a big deal in most legal circles?
Even Tantaros was speechless. She merely said that at the very least, a felony was committed for not having a secure server used for government emails......

Given money to a terrorist organization? Had members who committed acts of terror or conspired to help others commit them?

religious liberty, that the same power would never ever ever be used
against OUR religious liberty
Among the flaws in your argument is the notion that attending a religious service constitutes "taking away a group's religious liberty." Closing a church/ mosque/ whatever, or arresting ministers/ priests/ imams/ whatevers for purely religious reasons* would constitute an infringement of religious liberty. See the difference? Most religions would be thrilled to have non-believers show up, in the hopes that they might convert them.
*(PRE-EMPTIVE NOTE: advocating killing people or blowing shit up does not count as religious advocacy, and getting popped for that is perfectly A-OK.)

Listening to Rush now regarding the supposed meeting with Schumer and Rubio:
Rubio was never there, it was Lindsey Graham and Schumer in 2011 - two years before G8B. It was Graham and Schumer that explained something had to be done about illegal immigration and they were looking to work on a bill, went through points to push, Rush said he'd support it if no voting rights were granted. Silence from Graham and Schumer.
It was a three-hour dinner with many people invited, not focused on amnesty alone, many topics discussed.
NYT article only quoted half of Rush's statement about Rubio being a conservative.
And on and on. Can't believe people who know and listen to Rush (and Levin and Ingraham) would believe the NYT, pushed by Breitbart/Trump. Mind-boggling.

If the leaders of a specific mosque are reasonably suspected of being accomplices in a specific crime, and not just "because they're Muslim", then yes, they should get extra scrutiny.
It is interesting, when Trump says "spy on mosques", I think he means "he wants to spy on all of them, the innocent as well as the guilty, because he does not distinguish between ordinary Muslims and radical terrorists". Evidently you think he means "he wants to spy only on the guilty ones and leave the innocent ones alone". You think he's well-intentioned, I don't. I don't, because of his demonstrated authoritarian streak and his general lack of meaningful thought given to important constitutional issues in general.
Here is what Trump said:
http://tinyurl.com/zvzbehx
He did say he wanted more surveillance over mosques in general, not just the "guilty" ones.

Just because words that sound conservative come out of one's mouth when they are preaching to choirs during primary season does not mean they are conservative. He's failed to explain himself and suddenly takes an interest in many other things that, while not expressly contradicted, were not centerpieces of his career.
What we do know is that he's an extremely inexperienced absentee senator who never worked in anything outside of politics. That particular mold of human being, we know at least anecdotally, never turns out to be very conservative or sincere in anything they say.
So while Trump has made that a hot-button issue, I would hardly say it's fair to characterize those who see Rubio for what he is - a fresh-off-the-line conservative talking point machine with an unearned sense of entitlement and high likelihood of the lockstep establishment performance we will no longer stomach - as hung up on a single issue.

Good point.
But for the Democrats Hillary is a fait accompli.
They are essentially stuck with her.
That's why the media polling is do desperate to sell Trump as a done deal.
We still have other options. Only a very small portion of the electorate has actually vote for Donald and those primaries were essentially open primaries.
Another point--who is the most liberal nasty commenter here in this thread--historically?
Mr. Moo Moo--and who does he pimp 24/7?
Most people particularly in general elections like to vote for postive things. Donald is not an uplifting inspirational speaker. I suspect the negativity of the campaign will depress turn out.
And, the general election has a very different voter model.
Many voters vote in the general--but do not vote in the primaries.

To suggest mysterious areas of vegetation, and maybe provide glimpses of light as they do with modern movies, you know, an entirely dark screen, flash, flash, flash, to provide achingly insufficient environmental information to crate anxiety in the viewer, like Aliens, makes you wanna get up and walk out. That's what I'll do. I'll make a muddy dark painting with near zero vegetative information so attention is directed to a depressing filthy sunset, perhaps sunrise, morning star. Whatever. One tiny fainted dirty grimy glimmer. That's what I'll paint today.
