IMO, there's not a single government department that doesn't need a major cut in funding, including Defense.
Problem is, someone would have to go in and weed out the useless crap and direct money to the things that are necessary and useful. No politician or current government employee is going to do that.
Cutting away fat is healthy. Taking the Choom Boy route and slashing funds willy-nilly is pathetically stupid.

yeah. and Dresden was no picnic, yet we are glad we won. Use of nukes seemed extreme, but we know it saved a million lives (or whatever #).
Terrorists are outside Geneva convention rules, and Trump is mostly trying to project strength, that we will no longer get our soldiers killed by fighting PC war.
And the millions in cost by attacking but not dropping ordinance because their MIGHT be a civilian truck driver on those oil tank trucks, or a janitor in the control command center ... those billions of waste are money not spent saving life domestically. In time it is money that taxes stressed out Americans in fly over country. Everything has a cost, and the PC tactics used to destroy U.S. takes a very high toll on America.

A powerful boat struggles in the wake of the motorhome, the youthful skipper nattily dressed in yachting attire, an attractive woman shouting "Marco - this is a desert! Boats do not work in the desert!"
"It got me Puerto Rico!"
"That's an island!"
"And Minnesota!"
"Ten thousand lakes!"
"Yo ho ho! Here I come! Batten the hatches, release the spinnaker! Flush the poop deck!"
An old white jeep wanders all over the place, making abrupt stops and flashing yellow lights. John Kasich leans out the right hand window and scatters campaign leaflets.
"Ohio is key, the heart of it all!"
An aide reminds him that he is behind and losing ground, suggesting that they straighten and floor it.
"I'm the son of a mailman! We have to make our deliveries! Rural Free Delivery!"
Closest to the RV is a black Trans Am, a single red light swinging from side to side the only color visible. The driver turns on the windshield wipers in an attempt to clear the dust blocking his vision.
"Michael - I mean Ted - that only works when it rains."
"Well I can't see right know so it may as well be raining."
"You aren't going to win this way, you have to cut the Trumpeter's lead. Only then will be king of the Republican Death-Lands."
"Easier said than done, I've let the blowhard speak, I've sent other candidates on suicide missions and nothing. You'd think he'd tire of his own voice, but it only makes him stronger, and the others only become a new ornanment on his rig."
A blue pulsing light forms in the air next to him. He asks "Cursor, is that you?"
"No, it's me - Carly. I can't hold this form for long but I'm endorsing you. after what he said about my face..."
Ted cuts her off "Thanks and you look wonderful."
"To stop him you must grab his golden scalp weasel, it is the source of his power. without that he will go silent and his RV will slow."
"Of course! The Golden Scalp weasel! Just like the Sword in the Stone!"
"Actually, it's more like Samson."
"Who?"
"Samson. The Bible."
"Oh yeah - now I remember. He got his hair tangled in a tree."
"That was Absalom - also The Bible - just get the Golden Scalp Weasel." The blue light fades out.
Ted downshifts and floors the accelerator, surging ahead.

Nah, the FBI can only recommend charges, the actual charging decision is going to be up to Loretta Lynch.
Lynch, for those who may not remember, testified in her AG confirmation hearings that she had no problem at all with Obama's illegal executive-order amnesties -- even though "constitutional law professor" Obama himself had already publicly admitted that the president lacks the constitutional authority to issue such amnesties.
Lynch also testified that she believes illegal aliens have a "right" to U.S. jobs.
IOW, the decision about whether or not to charge H. Clinton with the felonies of which she is obviously guilty will be left to a corrupt Democratic political hack who has already, and repeatedly, demonstrated her complete contempt for the rule of law and the U.S. constitution.
So don't hold your breath waiting for Hillary to get what should be coming to her. There's good reason for Hillary's lack of concern about being indicted, and its name is Loretta Lynch.

While I don't agree with it 100%, I think it's presents the best case to be made for Trump that I've read in a while.
I suggest both Trump haters and lovers read it.
I'm a Cruz guy, but Trump is a solid second choice for me.
The thing I don't understand is the whole #NeverTrump nonsense.
That fact that there is not a similar #NeverHillary movement tells me this is another Republican voter suppression scheme probably initiated by the Democrats, though it could be the GOPe or, hell, both together holding hands a skipping along.
The main thing this election is that we seize our power back from the GOPe.
I hope people haven't forgotten that the GOPe has run operations to crush the conservative and Tea Party movements by giving elections to Democrats rather than have someone outside their control win.
We have to have a victory over them as much as we need to have one over Hillary!
Cruz will make both the GOPe and DNCe tear their hair out.
But, if I can't have Cruz,
I will be happy to unleash Trump the Scourge.
Because the GOPe must lose as much as the Democrats must lose.
Vote wisely people.

"I feel so blessed to have grown up in a vastly more stimulating cultural climate. The icons of my adolescence were Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn. In college and graduate school, I was enraptured by Julie Christie, Jean Seberg, Jeanne Moreau, Catherine Deneuve, and Monica Vitti. What vitality, electricity, personality, and genuine eroticism!
But perhaps the best example of how far we have fallen was the fabulously whip-smart and stylish Suzanne Pleshette, who grew up in the same affluent, privileged Manhattan art and theater world that Lena Dunham did but who left a legacy, both on-screen and off, of verve, originality, and emotional depth. Please descend, ye Muses, and save us from our plague of self-pitying bores!"

As a veteran, I'm certain Trump doesn't mean our soldiers should kick in the door of terrorist's homes, line a dozen children up against a wall and shoot them in cold blood.
Although that makes a good visual for the anti-Trump people.
What he's saying, and what I agree with, is that if a known terrorist is in a building, the fact that his wife and children may be present should have no influence on targeting it with a missile.

Re: Lena Dunham - Her ugliness is a form of performance art, provocation. She knows she's unattractive, especially within her chosen field where looks matter, so she is intentionally ugly - not only to say "F$#@ you" to beauty and fashion standards, but as a way to make people to notice it so that she can criticize *them* for their superficial judgement of her appearance. This makes her a courageous feminist warrior against societal norms of beauty blah blah blah. She is cray-cray.

Anyone think the military balks?
As a small point for reference.
In the last unit I was in before getting out of the Army (2014), there were several combat arms types.
I advocated that the way to destroy ISIS with minimum allied casualties was to leaflet their cities (starting with their capital) saying the town would have no ISIS in 3 days -either the locals push them out, ISIS leaves, or it is carpet bombed.
END. OF. DISCUSSION. They didn't like that approach and I doubt they would have acted differently if I was giving a 100 point speech of why we needed a Ron Paul/Pat Robertson ticket.
Most of us were junior enlisted, though.

"I have always been fascinated by the story of Virginia Dare. She was the first English child to be born in the New World, in August 1587, shortly after the founding of what was to become known as The Lost Colony; on Roanoke Island off the North Carolina coast. It says something about the mettle of those settlers that any pregnant woman would cross the Atlantic, the equivalent of a lunar expedition at that time and Virginia's mother Elenor was no less than the daughter of John White, the colony's governor."
She was transformed into a white deer (the story goes). "We" came as families, and this idea we have to erase our history to conform to PC standards is resisted, I think. The forced diversity crap has been very successful.

I could understand if Ditka had expressed his political opinion while on air at ESPN but he didn't . To be consistent, I don't want to hear any of my sports commentators weigh in on politics while on the job. If that's the reason they removed Ditka, I would demand they fire Olberman again. That they rehired him is hypocritical, if again, they removed Ditka for his political comments .
It would be an interesting test of Trump's strength if he mentioned Ditka's firing and then called on everyone who supports him to either drop ESPN from their cable package (if possible) or melt down their phone lines and e-mail servers. "Punch back twice as hard," as the man says.

::: looks around at link :::
Ummmm, Dorothy, I don't think we're at the NY Post.
"He points out some of his irritation toward RINOs and much
of Conservative Inc. going histrionic in their attacks, like the 'OMG,
Trump flip flopped on H-1Bs' without looking at the whole picture."
The piece does not in fact address the harsh reality that Trump DID flip-flop on H-1Bs, and not only did Trump flip-flop on H-1Bs, he did so in record time.
Trump said, quote, "I'm changing it. I'm changing it," with regard to his stance on visas, and gave a wordy rationale as to why. Then when his polling downticked instantly (and I suspect Jeff Sessions quietly said he'd pull his endorsement), Trump's flunkies and stooges then were out on Twitter within hours to convey that, well, you see, what The Donald _really meant to say_ was that he's _not_ changing his visa policy stance, not one bit, no sirree, even though the guy had just then specifically said that he was changing it.
FFS doesn't cut it. Individual emphasis required: F. F. S.
This is like Ross Perot on mescaline. When is Trump going to start claiming that there's a plot to disrupt his daughter's wedding with embarrassing doctored photos?
The guy cannot stick to his guns on anything, and yet we're being told he's a brave general who will lead us to victory. Where "victory" will be redefined, re-redefined, and then re-re-redefined endless times, apparently.

for anything using "embryonic" stem cells.
Years ago I caught a lecture on CSPAN (3:00am'ish - insomnia) of a woman who had written about about the harvesting of embryos. She had some real horror stories about how poor young women (in poor countries) are convinced to undergo hormone treatment, then have their embryos harvested, for $$$ by companies. They are not treated well, and some of them do suffer harm to their future fertility. It is more ugliness akin to PP harvesting still-live babies that no one wants to acknowledge.
The other thing she mentioned was that embryonic stem cell research needs many more embryos that what is currently available in fertility clinics (e.g. saying that this is a good use of leftover embryos is a fiction - there's not nearly enough surplus to prevent the need for active harvesting).
Sadly, I do not remember the woman's name, so I've not been able to track down her book on this subject.

I have no idea what she did on the casting couch, but her husband was an abusive jerk whom she tried for years to get normal. She was a mom and she wanted to be a normal wife who actually had sex with her husband, exclusively with her husband. WOW -- what a bitch, eh? Instead, he repeatedly dragged her to dungeons and swinger clubs, having promised they were going to some romantic, intimate honeymoon-type getaway where they would focus on each other. But no -- he wanted group sex, and he wanted her to be part of it. His tactics were borderline coercive; they were certainly deceptive.
He was a hypocrite, a Republican scandal waiting to happen, an embarrassment, a betrayal of Republican family values, and a liar.

"As for the debasement of the presidency by Trump's slanging matches about penis size, that sorry process was initiated by a Democrat, Bill Clinton, who chatted about his underwear on TV, let Hollywood pals jump up and down on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom, and played lewd cigar games with an intern in the White House offices."

yeah, but what had he really changed? it was a gaffe. His website had already said "reducing", not none. He "softened" his stance a little, and has used the grape industry as his example. There are cases indeed that the low skilled labor will probably still be temporarily imported, and will need new visas (instead of just coming illegally and being ignored). But his site says, then they must go back, or there are penalties.
Trump is weak on precise messaging. As with the Muslim Ban, he was quickly saying there would be exceptions for business. Same with "go after their (terrorist's) families. He lays out the broad policy umbrella, details come later.
Not saying I always like that, but I don't think it is a flip flop. He wants camps for Muslim alleged refugees, not bringing a million unvetted to America. But he is railed on for a "Complete Ban (really temporary) on All Muslims" ... hater bigot, etc. He had said before let some in, then it became 100k unvetted. Then he said "till we figure out what is going on". What is going on, is internal treason, as I see it.

Not really inclined to listen to political lectures from someone who had previously declared a certain shallow self-promoting oversexed female pop tart to be the most important global cultural icon of the 20th century.
The pop tart, now rapidly closing in on age 60, still insists she's an ultra-desirable sex kitten. Camille Paglia for her part still insists upon being taken seriously as a public intellectual. Both are quite incorrect.

"We can't allow people who have this hatred coming into the United States and of people who are not Muslim."
Trump argued that "it's very hard to separate" radical Islam from the mainstream practice of the religion. "It's very hard to define," he said. "Because you don't know who's who."

This is like discussing tax evasion with Al Capone and letting him blame it on an incompetent accountant; pretending he's a good citizen who made a simple oopsie. It COMPLETELY misses the point: Hillary set up the personal server so that she could commit much bigger crimes - she was sharing classified info with Clinton foundation staff and outsiders like Blumenthal for big money (billions) and power.

There is no notion at all of America's national interest in what he does. He merely tries to avoid historical errors, like colonialism and regime change. That's what a college freshman would advocate, but it's not what a grown adult with experience of the world uses as a national policy.

Our military doesn't lose, our politicians lose. We win and then the politicians lose their will or change the mission. If allowed to do what they are meant to do and then equipped properly our military would get the job done admirably, but the ineptitude of their civilian leaders makes this impossible. That's why I advocate building up the USAF and SOCOM and committing us to the shortest, most violent mission possible.

USAF bases are by far and away nicer than Army or Navy, usually the surrounding areas aren't as scummy as Army of Navy. Not everybody get base housing. It's ok, definitely cheaper to shop on base than in the community on the main. USAF schools are ok, not great. Services for a child with leaning disabilities are non existent. If she is a single parent she needs to have a pretty solid dependent care plan, in case she needs to deploy for any length of time. Does she have a spouse who will pay the bills and take care of the kids while she is gone? There are times she may deploy for nearly a year

Dunno. She's hasn't signed anything yet. Her kids are 6 and 4, and she'd likely want stateside. I'm just wondering how it goes, as I've never lived on a base, just ships.

Note that I'm not necessarily referring to nuclear-tipped missiles. Saudi bases in the south have been being ripped apart by conventional ballistic missiles fired by Yemeni insurgents.
USAF has for many decades enjoyed a "safe space" in which to comfortably rearm and refit, well removed from the front lines. Technology is about to erase that.

Yes of course. But in that era, there were immensely stronger disincentives against their doing so.
In 2016, both the PRC and post-Soviet Russia are *very* doctrinally focused on attacking and crippling the American air bases. Because those militaries now have much longer reach than they did during the Cold War.

Hillary starts by saying in her usual ingenious way that she can't imagine the grief, etc. that these parents are going through, blah, blah. But then says that this woman is wrong!
So in effect she is sticking to her story that the parents are wrong. Just when I thought that I couldn't despise this woman more...

There are excerpts from interviews with VA doctors and union officials who knew of what was going on but refused to talk to any GOP officials about it, even if they were over the VA, in favor of Democrats.
Specifically, at least one union official in Illinois contacted Rep Danny Davis, Rep Tammy Duckworth, and Sen Dick Durban but absolutely refused to talk to Sen Mark Kirk. Once Kirk found out about it, he immediately took action to try and get to the bottom of this.
I'm about ready to hang that union official and Duckworth along with him because she knew about it and was unwilling or unable to do anything about it, yet will likely target Mark Kirk over it when she runs against him this fall.

Here's what Cruz said:
The Texas senator, whom Trump has dubbed "Lyin' Ted," added that Trump voters who are flocking to support Cruz's candidacy are doing so when they "get more engaged and they get more informed."
"When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He's what they're angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me," Cruz said.
No, Ted, I am angry at your fellow congressmen and senators who have done nothing over the past eight years but hand the dog-eating crackhead torn-off pieces of the constitution for him to wipe his ass.

I used to marvel at the Saudi's. They had all of the latest American shit, but none of the Saudi's knew anything about anything. American's were over there doing everything for them. I always wondered what would happen to them if they ever had to actually defend themselves. I don't know how things are now, but I can't imagine they're much different.

Yep. While I like Cruz, he's gone off the rails in this regard. Tonight's debate should be fun. I wonder if he'll use the same "count to 10" line or come up with some new form of condescension. Given last debate, will it just be a repeat or anything new? I predict at least 5 minutes trying to turn Trump University into a thing.

Posted by: Make America Great Again at March 10, 2016 11:10 AM (LXJ1e)
The Texas senator,
whom Trump has dubbed "Lyin' Ted," added that Trump voters who are
flocking to support Cruz's candidacy are doing so when they "get more
engaged and they get more informed."
"When they inform
themselves, they realize his record. He's what they're angry at. He is
the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the
only one who has been doing so in this race is me," Cruz said.
No, Ted, I am angry
at your fellow congressmen and senators who have done nothing over the
past eight years but hand the dog-eating crackhead torn-off pieces of
the constitution for him to wipe his ass.
I don't give a shit about Trump's supposed "corruption." You're all corrupt.

Let's unpack that poll just a little bit from a Baltimore view.
DeRay (PBUH) is one of the most recognizable faces of the #BLM movement in Baltimore.
To not break 1% in a Baltimore Poll shows a realization IMHO from even the most Sandtown/Winchester focused individual that #BLM does not bring constructive change.
It may let you do your Urban Holiday shopping in April, but it doesn't bring about positive change.

"Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice."
Polls show that Trump has won across all demographics, including the "highly educated". That is what led him to say he also wins with the "poorly educated".
And not having a college degree does not make a person stupid, it seems to often keep them sane.

Posted by: redbanzai at March 10, 2016 11:13 AM (NPofj)
---------------------------------
The theory of how Trump will win the general has been voiced here multiple times. Trump's appeal on immigration and pro-America economic policy will drive economically middle and blue collar voters to vote for him. He will flip FL, OH, MI, VA and he may have enough to flip NY and NJ too.
Many Dems will flip because Hilary will be the antithesis of those policies being both open borders and with a strong history of supporting the Wall Street financial sector over average Americans. In addition, Trump is seen as a moderate not "severly conservative" and thus cannot be tarred (and will not let himself be tarred) as a ultra-conservative.
Now what is your theory of a Cruz general election victory? How will he flip those states necessary to win?

I have a relative who is a surfer-guy/lawyer in CA. His margarita recipe, which he is not too shy to boast about, totally transformed my understanding of that misunderstood drink. It is as follows
large glass with ice
1 shot anejo tequila
1 shot reposado
1 shot cuantro
Juice from half a lemon
juice from half an orange
salt rim to taste
two thin slices of jalapeno dropped in as garnish

That is something that I have been angry about for a long, long time. Both Obama and Duckworth have signed off on the corruption in the past.
As much as I honor Duckworth for her service, she knows that her makework jobs at the VA before her election to Rep were nasty. Obama, Shinsecki and Duckworth were from Hawaii. So far, Gabbard (rep from HI) came out for Sanders rather than support the ongoing ugliness.

been voiced here multiple times. Trump's appeal on immigration and
pro-America economic policy will drive economically middle and blue
collar voters to vote for him. He will flip FL, OH, MI, VA and he may
have enough to flip NY and NJ too.
Many Dems will flip because Hilary will be the antithesis of those
policies being both open borders and with a strong history of supporting
the Wall Street financial sector over average Americans. In addition,
Trump is seen as a moderate not "severly conservative" and thus cannot
be tarred (and will not let himself be tarred) as a ultra-conservative.
Now what is your theory of a Cruz general election victory? How will he flip those states necessary to win?
Posted by: Make America Great Again at March 10, 2016 11:28 AM (LXJ1e)
That's not credible. Trump has walked back/repudiated all parts of "his" (coughSessions'cough) immigration plans. His economic policy is economically illiterate and likely to cause further economic misery.
And lots of people who traditionally vote Republican... both conservatives and GOPe... will not vote for Trump under any circumstances.
Also, if you that Democrats who voted Obama twice are going to vote for Trump instead, I think you need to rethink you logic chain.

In other words, she is down to ugly versus criminal on Cruz v. Clinton and she chooses ugly, hoping the Congress can moderate President Cruz.
Paglia's point on Trump is similar: she is willing to settle for Trump (despite his very obvious deficiencies) over Cruz because Cruz is a sanctimonious know-it-all who disagrees with Paglia on social issues, while Trump (again, despite his obvious lack of experience and ethics) is at least cosmopolitan enough to defend some of her particular political interests.
I may disagree with her but I think her point is at least worth considering.

More concerning for me is that the DOJ is using civil actions to selectively prosecute "causes" where there is no criminal violation. This is the role of the Executive branch and judicial system? Clearly I was lied to by School House Rocks. The DOJ should sue them in civil court for making me believe Congress passed laws, the Executive carried out and enforced those laws, the judicial system made sure it all passed muster, and the only people who could hold someone accountable for a crime were a jury of his peers.

Trump is campaigning for the general already. And he has to fight all the billionaires that want a president in their pocket.
He has softened a little on trade, or at least moved toward "smart trade" and denounced the protectionist label. But he has always been "make better deals", while our establishment surrenders early and often, since the CEOs love relocating to cheap labor countries, even if they are enemies. Current presidents all take the corporate money and lie about "free trade".

"And yet Sessions endorsed him."
Sessions endorsed Trump when Trump was saying he would build a wall the full length of the Mexican border, and would roll back the H-1B visa program.
Then after the Sessions endorsement, Trump said, well, no, to be clear, he wasn't going to wall off the entire border. Despite having previously said he would wall off the whole thing.
And, after the Sessions endorsement, Trump then said "I'm changing it, I'm changing it," with regard to his stance on H-1B visas, saying America "needs" those visas to be issued.
Sessions got taken for a ride. Another Trump University student.

Nip is probably afraid that he will have to defend Richard Burr who is up for re-election this year. The same guy (Brannon) that ran against Thom Tillis is running against Burr, and Nip really slandered Brannon during that race, supporting buddy Thom.
Both Burr and Tillis voted to allow the Loretta Lynch nomination to move forward.
I expect Nip to haul out the same stuff again.

They hate Trump because he is not a globalist, but a protectionist. His plans to put America first are disruptive to thier business models.
When you listen to sound bites of Clinton and sanders, they complain of Trumps being "mean" to Mexicans and to Islamic immigrants
They don't give a shit about Americans. This is less ideological than any of us think
Are you a globalist or not. Do you put Americans before others or not?

Again, Trump is attracting nontraditional primary voters in open primaries. I don't know how many of these voters would vote for Cruz in the general, but they won't be voting for Cankles.
I see this stuff first hand myself. I work in a manufacturing facility, and people who never talk about politics (or probably even vote) are stumping for Trump. Trump resonates because illegal immigration is a very large issue for people like this. And they can't stand Cankles. You might convince some of them to vote for Cruz, but you'll never convince any of them to vote for Cankles.

Trump is strongest on trade, Cruz was weak on TPP. I think that is a donor issue ... no big money wants us to get tougher on trade, regardless of how harmful it is to the American worker.
Trump is still strongest on the border, but I have to depend on WebsiteTrump to figure who will come back in.
I'm flexible on how he sells what he is going to do, to the point he changes it. He has not changed. Cruz is OK on the border, still not strong on trade, and is lining up for Bush money. He got his career started from the house of Bush ... those are his roots.
There are risks on both sides ... Cruz is positioned very far right, and has the like-ability issues. How did Cruz do in Michigan? How will he do in Ohio and PA? I'm just weighing the risks, Trump seems like the better bet.

That's not a function of his being Trump, it's a function of his being the non-democrat front-runner and you know it.
Trump has enormous appeal to blacks, from black pastors to diamond and silk to Jay-Z, who he actually parties with, to being a beacon of achievement and wealth instead of dyed-hair SJW "know your place" social programs.

I wouldn't recommend my hypothetical, creepy, uncle Jeremy to the phone banks at the IRS if he were a legit victim of ID Theft (or even if he claimed so, he's creepy, remember)!
Just...
ANYONE who has gotten screwed this way, contact your tax prep company, FIRST!
They WILL help you in filing the criminal reports and give you guidance as to your next steps in filing your return.
Forget CALLING the IRS...
It's even WORSE than I imagined, last year.
Good to know that Lois Lerner is receiving a fat pension and "unnamed underlings" in the OH office are STILL devoting 24/7 to persecuting "Conservative Sounding" groups rather getting off their Government Union padded asses to HELP legitimate Tax Payers who ARE victims of Identity Theft.
"Eh, we already ACCEPTED a fraudulent return filed w/ your personal info (we may have even already PAID OUT a ludicrous "refund") so, YOU stupid tax-payer, need to file by paper, not see your refund for at least 6mo. and suck it up."
Oh, did I mention that the IP PIN ( that you will be REQUIRED to e-file with, for next year) database has been compromised?
NEEEVERMIND!!!
As long as there are acolytes of Lois Lerner, dedicated to turning the IRS into a political weapon to hunt down "Tea Partiers" (Or, whatever "out-group" the bastards in power feel needs kicking) the fraudsters will continue to fraud, and the IRS won't give a shit about LEGITIMATE tax payers.
"Jump through our hoops. PROVE by mail and fax that you are the legitimate Tax Payer and... we'll get back to you in 6-9 months about you refund."

Trump already faced down Billy Bob on this. Clinton has many women accusing him of rape or something close, and the Monica incident would have gotten most corporate level bosses reassigned or fired, for abusing their power of authority. (I've seen this happen)
The best attack Megyn could come up with on Donald was Rosie, then the follow up "look great on your knees" comment taken out of context, since it was from a TV show that gets ratings with that scripted innuendo. And the woman he said it to had just said she was on her knees for this other guy. And recently said she loved Donald and was not offended by the shtick.

Keaton might be ok, but I can't think of a movie he's done where he's played a salt-of-the-earth, tough guy?
He was an FBI guy in "Out of Sight" and also a cop in "Jackie Brown."
Kidding, since his characters were such tools.
Dennis Farina's character to Keaton wearing his FBI jacket: "Hey Ray, do you ever wear one that says 'undercover'?"
Posted by: Lizzy at March 10, 2016 12:07 PM (NOIQH)
That was actually the same character, Ray Nicolette, one of Elmore Leonard's stock supporting characters across several books. Ray did a lateral move from FBI to ATF (or vice-versa, I can't remember the timeline).
And yeah, he's something of a dimwit. He rides a motorcycle wearing black leather, socks and sandals (off-camera).

ThunderB is a solid go-to source for legal issues connected to war and military affairs. And she covered it on "reprisals", etc.
While ThunderB is the authority, I believe the general spirit of the Conventions is important to keep in mind. Reduced to the basics, those are that there is a distinction between combatants and non-combatants, and most of the language concerns how to keep that distinction and protect the non-combatants.
But a key element there is that non-combatants and "protected places" (hospitals, churches, etc.) lose their protected status when they are used to by combatants to gain military advantage (e.g., Iraqi "insurgents" using hospitals and mosques).
If a US unit takes out a "protected place," or non-combatants being used as shields by bad guys, a war crime was committed. By the bad guys.

Not to mention, combatants in civilian clothes fighting without any distinguishing feature such as a uniform, armband or brassard identifying them as a member of a resistance/guerrilla force. That's also a war crime, and such illegal combatants can be tried by military tribunal and SHOT under international law. The same international law that lefties spooge over.

My big fear? This whole model of the country being center-right is simply no longer true.
I really don't buy at all into the idea that people sat out over RomneyCare.

Chain Saw touches on a key point almost universally missed or consciously avoided. The "FSA" is far from the bulk of the voters who have brought the country to this state. While the support of "independents" and "educated" etc., relatively higher-info types for Obama in 2012 was far below where it was in 2008, it is/was still the key. And Romney received more votes than McCain, I believe?
The Dems, based on 2012, are shedding their middle and upper income, income, and white voters quite dramatically, but it's still not the "FSA" that is the key. Not even close. Besides this there is the actual, i.e. state by state electoral, analysis, but that's too long and boring for here.
Probably not a popular thing, but I've been repeating for years here that, aside from those lucky enough to live in a few areas and travel/live in certain circles, it's not some exotic unnamed "other" that has voted to the US to the brink of ruin. Mostly, it's your neighbors, in-laws, family, softball team mates, co-workers, etc etc etc.
Probably many here that know mostly Obama voters, who are also, exclusively, people who have never held a govt. job or received a dime of govt. "assistance". "Educated," successful, blah blah blah.

That isn't strong on trade, that's just bizarre." MTF
Before NAFTA we had fairly balanced trade with Mexico, now we have $58B deficits, and an export of factory work.
Now we have TPP with its surrender on some sovereignty issues, and we clearly need a Better Deal.
Some sort of import taxes will almost certainly be in the mix if we are ever to reverse unsustainable half trillion a year deficits. The open borders on trade has only helped export labor to "slave labor" markets, while CEOs pocket that cash. Stockholders get some too ... but that is largely illusory.
Or are you saying the TPP plan is a great deal? Or that the trade deficits that only briefly reversed the downward trend under Reagan (with many tariffs, anti-dumping policy) ... trade deficits can just keep getting worse forever, no problem?

if he wasn't the World's Worst Campaigner(TM).
It's been said before, but if he'd gone after Obama with one-tenth the passion he showed going after his fellow Republicans then or Trump now-
he'd be President today.
But, he was a vain weak man who was more worried about being called "racist" than protecting his fellow Americans.
And now, registering for his campaign. Once again so weak and vain that he'll graciously accept a nom handed to him but is unwilling to get into the fray and fight for it.

Here's the thing, I believe we can cobble together something center-right that wins the White House, but there's going to have to be some compromises that people aren't going to like.
Despite what the MSM trumpets, it was a close election. Romney came within a point in VA and Florida, and won a solid majority of independents.
So it's not out of reach but some things need to change.

Limbaugh just a while ago had a hilarious/depressing little "dead air" segment, in which some MSM TV anchor interviewed Trump's former butler. Best I've ever heard.
"Dead air" being the awkward and bad silence on TV or radio when, usually, an anchor asks a field correspondent or an interviewee a ridiculous or tendentious question (or anything that reveals their highly distorted/erroneous framework or assumptions). And after receiving the answer, is stunned and doesn't know what to say - "dead air".
Also, "dead air" can be when the field correspondent/interviewee is so shocked by the idiotic question, or is not even sure they heard it right because it's so ridiculous, it takes time for them to respond (classic examples of this from NPR and the BBC all the time during Iraq and of course ongoing with Israeli responses to Palestinian depredeations).

What Romney's done over the last two weeks made no sense unless he was willing to jump into the race himself after Rubio lost Florida. Without a brand name Establishment candidate in the race Romney only helped to ensure that either Trump or Cruz will go into Cleveland with a majority of delegates.
When it comes to politics, Romney's actually not half as smart as he thinks he is.

Common core math." alabama
ha ... I find we internet political junkies are a much smaller minority than we think. I went to a Mike Flynn rally and figured there would be a decent crowd, it was a handful. Facebook and Twitter are different maybe, but they are so crowded, how much is really accomplished?
The #neverTrump crap from the establishment is just saying they will not let us choose, we must submit to their candidate or be punished. It is mostly "astroturf", as I see it.

Lee (Utah) will endorse Cruz today. Idea is to boost Cruz in Utah, where Rubio has shown some strength.
Taling point of the day is "Cruz doesn't get along well with others (meaning moderate R's).
I thought getting along was a two-way street but apparently not.
Rubio only needs 1,086 delegates of the 1,434 remaining to win the nomination before the convention.
The future may bring...shenanigans. The strategy is to keep Kasich and Rubio in no matter what to keep Trump from hitting 1,237. Then the PTB nominate Rubio, Ryan or Romney at the convention. Won't that be fun....

TPP? I didn't mention it at all. NAFTA either.
Trumps positions are tag lines, not policy. You have no idea if Trump is "strong on trade" or not. What I said was "he embodies LIV".
Now I will say more: It's bizarre that people project all their own emotional preferences on to a guy who has said so little of substance on anything. And the few times he has said anything of substance, he often contradicts something he said previously. Sometimes like five minutes ago previously, sometimes on his website, sometimes in instances where he made commitments in return for endorsements.

The Detroit Free Press quotes pollster Bernie Porn as saying that Clinton's connections caused the political earthquake in Michigan.
"The trade issue was a late-breaking issue that not only affected the whole discourse of the campaign," Porn said. "I think it turned a lot of voter away from Hillary Clinton."

Which American jobs do you want to cut to get rid of NAFTA?
Show your work.
And lets talk imports from Mexico for a minute. Those have grown $260 billion over the same time span, from nearly zero. The biggest component is oil, followed by electrical equipment, industrial parts, and agricultural products. Forget the oil component (because that's a world market and we can probably satisfy our needs right now from U.S. sources), and lets talk about the electrical/industrial equipment. Which American factories get to pay higher costs for those things?
In other words, which American job do you propose to eliminate?
Show your work!
Trump is a fucking nitwit on trade. He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, and nor does he seem at all interested in finding out what he means.
Like so many nitwits, he looks at the balance of trade and assumes a negative number is equal to "lost jobs". That's how stupid he is, as you'll see when you answer the above questions for yourself.
We aren't the only capable economy in the world any more. We aren't the only people capable of manufacturing shit. Pretending we are is stupidity, and worse- it is pure demagoguery.

Now, I've heard in the past that Cruz's massive debate skills will win
it for him. But Cruzers have to be honest in that he has had almost a
home field advantage in the debates compared to Trump yet he still
trails Trump.
I can't see Trump winning ANY actual debate. He's got nothing upstairs. He's an intellectual doofus.
