I figure I've been on All the lists since THEY started making them. (Well except for the PTSD). Probably being a member on this board puts you at the top of the list

I hope so. I hate it when my name is not at the top of a list.

Nowadays if you're not on one of their lists you've either assumed room temp or you're doing it wrong.

No. It's not that. It is the "no consequences" syndrome.

You mean like in Indiana where the conservatives were passed over and the evil GOPe candidates were nominated?

This guy is a joke and should not be trusted with the future of our country.

Of course, neither should HRC.

Fuck Trump, Fuck all of the Clintons. We are once again given a choice between a douche and turd sandwich.

Would you rather have Ted Cruz? Would a vote for Cruz have been a vote for the death of homo's?

In my opinion, I take more pride in supporting someone who actually stands on principles..........regardless of what is said at Trump rallies than just falling in line like Scottie Nell-Hughes tells me to.

I was a huge proponent of what he was doing last year, it seems like as soon as 2016 hit, it was all down hill from there.

The bottom line is that we are fucked, and you and the other Trumpsters will do nothing but send the blame to the conservative side of the house, blaming us for not "getting on board".

I may vote for him, or maybe I wont.............but since you are, a special pleader for the orange faced totalitarian...............

I would really like to know what makes this jack wagon so special after all the times he has stepped on his crank.

Not to mention alienating the conservative side of the house whilst running a 3rd party campaign within the republican primary.

Ohhh....be nice to me or else Im going to consider running 3rd party.

Are you suggesting we find a Neocon to resolve the current world wide upheaval, consisting of mass migration, societal implosion, and constant global warfare?

Isn’t that a Neocon premise, that there will always be conflict, therefore it should be embraced, engaged, and used to further our, (their neocon) interest?

If this age proves anything, it firmly buries the Wilsonian concept, (our bedrock foreign policy position) of bringing democracy to the world.

Interventionist Neocon’s misread, misunderstood, and have delivered us to the brink of global warfare and completed multi-state failure.

Actors like Assad, and his ilk are culturally specific results, of a culturally specific, ingrained, authoritarian, dictatorial, Theo/autocratic society. There is no possible gain in attempting to foster a new/regime change in a geo-political/religiously based society. The parallel argument is Mao’s China.

That said, this election concerns one issue. The Supreme Court. Everything else is bullshit. Vote like your great-great grand children would write you a thank you note, other than that, whatever your position, this is not about the 25 meter target.

No I think it's great that when a member of the GOP wins the nomination that everyone wants to quit. Makes perfect sense. The socialists are laughing their collective asses off right now.

This is why I've said years ago the GOP was dead, united they stand , divided they're conquered. Smart thinking.

Many would call that refusing to parse words to avoid not pandering to the constituency of the moment. If people get their panties in a wad, tough.

The GOPe (known as the Dead Elephant party for a reason) made that bed; they can lie in it. The camel is already demolishing their tent and it's time for some redecoratin'. So many seem to be for a 3rd party against the current corrupt system until one actually seems to be working. And he's done it in their own structure; so call it what you want. I don't regard him as a savior of any kind; I think he's a savvy businessman who knows how to surround himself with really sharp people - we already know what the current POTUS and the psycho-broad in the wings regard as "smart" and have seen the results.

Need to pick your battles.

Women in combat will be a self correcting issue once women go hands on with the enemy.......

Trump at NRA convention: 'Eight-year assault' on gun rights is over

Published April 28, 2017
· Fox News

On the eve of his 100th day in office, President Trump rallied a convention of the National Rifle Association by vowing to "never, ever infringe" on Second Amendment rights and declaring his predecessor's alleged "assault" on those freedoms is over.

“I am here to deliver you good news: the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end,” Trump told the cheering crowd.

Trump is the first sitting president to address an NRA convention in more than three decades. The last president to do so was Ronald Reagan in 1983.

Trump started his address with a freewheeling recollection of his November election victory, crediting the gun rights group for helping him win. "You came through for me and I am going to come through for you," he said.

This thread was started almost exactly a year ago. That seems like a LONG time ago, now. Pretty entertaining re-read, though.

I'll fully believe this when the NFA is appealed and the HPA is approved.
I'll post in the happy section when I can buy a can as easy as a car muffler
