You just can't make this stuff up...

One set of "white folk requirements" and the ignorant use of their 1st Amendment "rights" at a time, progressive liberals are going to find themselves taking on more than they've bargained for at some point.

Oh, and just to clarify...
Aug 22, 2017 3:13PM PDT

I want to state for the record that this post in no way, shape, or form condones ANY form of violence, to include the ignorance that went down in Charlottesville.

With that being said, please pay particularly close attention to "directive number nine", per the authors standing orders.

Statements such as those… A call to take up arms against your fellow man and woman… Have become quite the "norm" in the United States over the last four or five years and have done nothing but escalate ever since.

When the President of the United States praises the behaviors of organizations such as BLM and the New Black Panther Part, this becomes the outcome.

How long does one allow themselves to be backed into a corner without eventually fighting their way out?

Smart speech
Aug 22, 2017 9:30PM PDT

What this women did is tailor her message to what the audience wanted to hear.

It's the same things pols do when their running for election.

Pols know that voters don't fact check or ask themselves 'is this possible'.

Voters just hear what they want to hear and their happy.

Trump had a smart election team who found what the voters wanted to hear in the key states and that was Trumps message.

Game over.

hilLIARy did exactly what you are accusing Trump of doing
Aug 23, 2017 2:14AM PDT

BUT, not only did she LOSE, she also changed a huge number of her positions that she held for years (marriage is between one man and one woman, for example) in order to garner favor with select groups of voters. There are many videos going back to the times in Arkansas and the WH where this has been proven. Trump has held the same positions he campaigned on and stuck to them during the campaign and he STILL holds those positions. HIS message rang true to the American voter.....those same voters KNEW HER message was full of lies because even SHE didn't believe any of it.

Yes....game over.

Trump, Then And Now: What His Shifting Positions Say About What He Believes, April 14, 2017

As the 100-day marker of Trump's presidency approaches, the shifting raises questions about what Trump really intends to do as president with the rest of his time in office. Does he even know? Or is he — and now the country — simply at the mercy of his instinctual whims and latest conversations?

If you bother to look at the actual video
Aug 24, 2017 8:12AM PDT

you would see that she crossed in front of HIM, putting HIM over HER shoulder...with HIS podium at times directly BETWEEN them. How creepy is SHE that she would blame HIM for that maneuver? It was reported that she actually PRACTICED that maneuver during pre-debate rehearsals and her 'thoughts' about how she should react wasn't anything she DID on stage but rather an afterthought for her book. She has proved herself, again, to be the conniving liar she really is.

You mean she walked across the stage? HOLD THE FORT, STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!

NOT...standing in one spot and rocking on her heels and toes, with nothing in between them.


Luckily she was wearing her traditional pant suit.

Unfortunately it was WHITE.

Word on the street was that she lost because she worn a WHITE pantsuit AFTER Labour Day.....

Once again you have MY point, but did YOU get it?
Aug 25, 2017 3:32AM PDT

SHE entered HIS space and yet calls HIM the creep that's trying to 'intimidate' her?

Either she's a very 'strong' woman capable of being president, or she's a VICTIM, as she now makes herself out to be in her book, of a 'bully'. Can't have it both ways, JP.

Did you see that picture
Aug 25, 2017 1:21PM PDT

Of the young man in reenactment Confederate costume standing at attention with a Confederate flag, while some insanely hate filled woman was right in his face flipping him off with both hands? Let's ask Hillary if that woman was " a creep", considering her being bothered about "space invaders".

Also, hopefully anyone who is a donor to that college he attends which dismissed him as a student will refuse to make any more to punish the school for interfering with HIS freedom of speech, which is a strong Christian principle, even without any First Amendment recognizing it.

The word to describe her can't be posted in this forum. It's about the only truthful word for it though.

The young man used poor judgement going where he did at the time he did and dressed the way he did.

The women used poor judgement to get so excited about it an express herself the way she did.

Sit back and relax and in 15 mins the kid would have been gone.

Why make a fuss?

exactly
Aug 25, 2017 2:37PM PDT

No need to get into the face of people putting on a show. I do same on road. If someone is having a fit about something, I don't flip them off, I let them go by, slow down if necessary. I figure God or Karma will catch up to them eventually. Sometimes over the years I've actually seen such in the ditch on interstate after they'd acted the fool maybe miles back.

Gracious?...Compared to?

How humble TheRUMP has been about winning?

Then yes...she has been gracious.

Humble...you don't know humble

having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance

Try and picture the hissy fit/twitterstorm that would have occurred IF TheRUMP didn't win, he's a person that doesn't take rejection.

Trump just did it better than Clinton.
99% of voters would not have a clue about Clinton changing positions.
Trump preyed on voter fears and desires in key states.
Whether he believes or can deliver on any of his campaign stuff time will tell.
So far the first thing he tried went down in flames.
