Seth is not a fan of TheRUMP

I enjoyed watching her twist in the wind....

TheRUMP wasn't notified?...then It was appended to the last two pages of briefing notes...;

Well, HE didn't see them?

What a waste of "paper"...Just leave the last 2 pages off of all briefing notes?

Eventually there would be NO briefing notes?

Eliminate "the middle man/POTUS...print briefing notes and throw them in the garbage?

no need to bring up Hillary OR Obama, because as a once famous man said

The so-called "last press conference" of Richard Nixon took place on November 7, 1962, ... out at the media, proclaiming that "you don't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."

The "Women's March" has excluded a pro-life women's group from their protest rally......I guess if you believe in life, you aren't a woman anymore.

They aren't part of THAT "Women's March".

Another possibility is ALL women aren't "pro-life"....

Excluded?.....

Why don't the Pro-life group have their own protest rally, or is that suggestion too obvious?

Which group would YOU be marching in?

You are woman hear you ROAR?

Jan 18, 2017 4:17AM PST

as a 'partner' in the march, but so many complained about the fact that they are pro-life that they were told to leave the partnership. So I guess it's the typical 'lefty' attitude....if you don't believe in their WHOLE agenda, even if you are protesting Trump, you can't come to THEIR party because you are the 'wrong' type of 'feminist'.

It IS THEIR party isn't it? Funny how that works isn't it?

Would YOU ban ME from YOUR party?

HOW did the subject of pro-life come up?...March in THEIR parade and don't mention "pro-life"?

Would the "pro-life" group march with the "abortion/free choice" groups?

Hold YOUR own party and don't invite them?

Jan 18, 2017 6:33AM PST

what you're talking about and are speculating.....let me inform you.

The "Women's March" advertised that they were all INCLUSIVE.....meaning ALL women were invited to partner with them and march with them. The pro-life group asked about joining them and were given the 'partnership' status and ok'd......it was when it was announced on Twitter that they had another group partnering with them that the s..t hit the fan and complaints rolled in because others didn't want them so they were told to leave the march and partnership completely. Doesn't sound like it was really all INCLUSIVE to me....does it sound that way to you? Radical lefties are only inclusive when you agree with their entire agenda.....they don't want diversity after all. I'm sure you'll find something to babble incoherently about now, so I'll end this part of the conversation here so you're free to have the last word, JP, as you try to defend this crap.

Well, thank you...

Of course I'm speculating....

After YOU make 3 posts...I finally find SOME of the "details" of your complaint.

Would YOU be going there as a "pro-lifer" OR as a "woman"?

EVERY 'woman" doesn't agree with "pro-life"...

These Pro-Lifers Are Headed to the Women’s March on Washington

Pro-life women are headed to D.C. Yes, they’ll turn out for the annual March for Life, which is coming up on January 27. But one week earlier, as many as a few hundred pro-lifers are planning to attend the Women’s March on Washington, which has been billed as feminist counterprogramming to the inauguration.

With organizations like Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America co-sponsoring the event, pro-life marchers have found themselves in a somewhat awkward position. What’s their place at an event that claims to speak for all women, but has aligned itself with pro-choice groups? With roughly a week to go before the march, organizers also released a set of “unity principles,” and one of them is “open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people.”


RE: Radical lefties are only inclusive when you agree with their entire agenda.....they don't want diversity after all.

And?...YOU are NOT a Leftie? .......YOU want diversity?

On January 27th when YOUR group has its "March for Life"...don't let the Women's March participate...

Don't rain on their parade...and they won't rain on yours?

RE: What’s their place at an event that claims to speak for all women, but has aligned itself with pro-choice groups?

What is more "speaking for ALL women" THAN pro-choice?....Their body/consequences..

Are YOU "pro-life"? Do YOU have the same feelings as "pro-choice" about this? Which "parade" would YOU pick to march in...YOU can only be in ONE parade at a time.

But others are looking for solidarity. Many pro-life women felt just as outraged as pro-choice women about Donald Trump’s conduct and comments, including the revelation that he once bragged about groping women without their permission.

Oh, I have compromised plenty
Jan 22, 2017 3:39PM PST

in my life...However, I see you have decided to try to make this personal and about me, as a typical liberal who has run out of debate material. So I have to ask....considering all of YOUR views here in SE, how many times have YOU compromised in your life, JP?

I have some pretty strong views on certain things, obviously....however, my own posts have shown that some in my family have views close to yours. I don't cut them out of my life because we have different points of view, like many liberals have done especially in this election. We compromise by agreeing to disagree and discuss other things. How many people have YOU cut out of your life this election because you refuse to compromise, JP? Does a liberal even know the meaning of that word?

And I actually DO listen to different points of view when those views are delivered in a rational manner. ( I don't think I've experienced that with you.) Just because I personally reject the majority of those views doesn't mean I haven't heard them.

That's a tough one....NONE.

RE: agreeing to disagree and discuss other things

"discuss other things"?

A pc way of saying the subject is taboo?

...never to be spoken of?...Unless it's with me? You're welcome...

And I actually DO listen to different points of view when those views are delivered in a rational manner.

And you're the "decider" of what is rational and what isn't rational.

What are you afraid would happen IF you did discuss politics with family members (within arm's reach) that have a different point of view?

Something so serious that your ability to "compromise" would be "compromised"?

I'm interested in the first time you and family members discovered that "politics" is a taboo subject, and the circumstances surrounding the decision to not talk about politics any more.
- Collapse -
I've talked about this before, JP
Jan 23, 2017 3:06AM PST

IF you were really paying attention, you would know that.

Politics isn't taboo in my family......but I've talked to many people who have been 'defriended' on FB, hung up on, and literally told not to contact again because of the high level of 'passion' on, mostly, the liberal side of this election. That's why so many Trump supporters stayed in the background during polls, or not advertising out loud their support. The liberals were/are so angry that, if you've watched any of the news and the videos that went along with that anger, you would know that many were afraid for their safety. My family made the decision to not discuss the election in order to NOT have our relationships escalate to that level. Liberals who agreed with each other talked with each other; conservatives did the same.....we just didn't cross that line when both sides got together at the same time. No election is worth losing family members over. That was the compromise we all made and it's worked out well. Some people just can't help themselves and don't care enough about their loved ones or friends to prioritize those relationships, JP, and it's obvious when you see the rioting that the liberal side is willing to inflict.

I can say or discuss anything I want to with you because you don't count as important in my life.

RE:Politics isn't taboo in my family
Jan 23, 2017 3:35AM PST

YES...it is...

A taboo is a vehement prohibition of an action based on the belief that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary individuals to undertake

You would realize the subject of politics IS taboo with your friends and family. You've admitted it in your own words...

My family made the decision to not discuss the election in order to NOT have our relationships escalate to that level...we just didn't cross that line when both sides got together at the same time.

If you want to call it taboo, fine. It's actually a compromise among family members because, unlike you, we are not antagonistic people who just have to be 'in your face' all the time, and since you wanted to know when it started, 2008 when BO announced he was running.

AND here you are, 9 years later, Obama is gone...Trump is President...and politics is still taboo in your family...WHY?

IF the rest of the family listened to complaints about Obama for 8 years, I hope they get to complaint about TheRUMP for at least as much time as they listened to your complaining.

You make a lot of ASSumptions, JP
Jan 23, 2017 6:10AM PST

When BO was first running, it became pretty clear quickly that the liberals in the family were strongly in favor of him. We had a few debates over visits back and forth during that first year and when it became obvious that we were not going to agree on those policies, we all equally made the decision to compromise and not debate the issues anymore since nobody was going to change their minds any time soon. Tempers didn't actually flare or get out of control until this election, however, and that compromise was put back into place because losing family ties over either of the candidates was worth that to us.

There wasn't the 8 year complaint that you assume took place....I left that for SE and you.
