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.

"Flames"
Aug 24, 2017 3:01AM PDT

What went up in flames were the two Republicans in the Senate who voted FOR Repeal two years ago and now voted AGAINST it........McCain out of retaliation by biding his time until he saw his chance to 'get even' with the President rather than vote FOR the people he was supposed to be representing, and Collins for all of a sudden supporting Planned Parenthood funding hoping that will get HER re-elected. The bill didn't pass because of Trump's inaction....it failed because of Senators who had personal agendas.

Using fear is what the Democrats have used for years..........if the Republicans are using it now, I've said before that Republicans are slow to learn, but you can't blame them for using the Dems tactics against them finally.

Took many symbolic votes when it had no chance of passing.
I suppose it gained political points.
When it came down to crunch time and they saw what they were about to do they folded.

Lets see if they can get their act together for the rest of their agenda.

Will YOU show me where HE EVER said EVERYONE will be allowed to STAY in the country WITHOUT the proper clearance?

Once they cross the Canadian border....they will never have to leave.


Provide a link to that claim/those words...and I'll say it was a 'reversal"....until then ...."cakehole"...you know the rest....


BTW use of the word "Welcome" is NOT a "free pass"

You're "welcome" to come and visit me.....Not saying I'll answer the door when you knock...or that I won't kick you out.....IF I let you in OR AFTER I've let you in. But you're "welcome" to come here.

Sometimes people have to reiterate what they say so it is perfectly clear.

verb (used with object), reiterated, reiterating.
1.
to say or do again or repeatedly; repeat, often excessively.

ONLY the liberal media?..

I can provide a link to conservative media THERE making THAT claim. If you want to see it, I'll show it to you.

Uninformed Americans on BOTH SIDES? What's shocking about that?

Here's a "Link" from Conservative news explaining how illegal refugees were "welcomed" by "police officials"....In February...that's about 6 months ago...Some "WELCOME".

DETAILS: Canada Sees Spike in Border Crossings Since November

Line reported that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is looking at adding resources, expecting the crossings to pick up even more in the spring and summer.

The Fox News crew was on hand as two young men from Yemen walked across the border Tuesday and were met by police.

The liberal media COMPLAINED that he reversed himself..

HE didn't "reverse" he "reiterated"..as I said

Trudeau said Wednesday the agreement will remain in place. He said when he talks about there being no advantage, he was speaking of the longer term — claims are assessed on the merits, not based on how someone enters the country.

The vast majority of arrivals in recent weeks have been from Haiti, as the U.S. is currently considering lifting a pause on deportations to that country.


SAY WHAT?....THE US IS THINKING OF 'CHANGING IT'S POSITION'...TheRUMP is changing HIS position? NO FRIGGIN' WAY

Liberal media COMPLAINS...Conservative media REPORTS.....WHEN THEY think"the other side" has changed their position.

The Canadian government isn't doing anything differently now than they did then...


People show up at the border....they are taken into custody...put in tent cities...deported IF there is reason....

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

I want to thank you
Aug 24, 2017 10:53AM PDT

For excusing the errors in my ways.
I keep forgetting that you have 16 years of wrongs built up and now you want to rant or rage.

I'm not a liberal and I did not like some of the things Clinton and Obama did.
I do not think Trump is suited for the job.
He is not a leader he is a boss, 'do what I say or your fired'.
Now he's picking a fight with the people in congress he needs to pass his agenda.

We'll see how this plays out.

Again thank you for excusing my errors.

Do you realize you just described Abraham Lincoln? He even disobeyed Taney the Supreme Court Chief Justice, threw elected officials in jails, Emancipated slaves in a nation no longer his own, without Congressional approvement, all while keeping slaves on the North's side serving in slavery, till after the war's end. He fired the head general and replaced him with US Grant.

I can not comment on the actions of Lincoln, I was not there at the time.

Lincoln was try to keep this country together.
He did what he thought needed to be done to accomplish that.

The president today has a task of trying to keep some kind of world order.
The leaders of other countries have learned they can't believe anything he says.

Trump seems to be trying to break this country apart.

I confused by your post......
Aug 26, 2017 3:38AM PDT

So you didn't like 'some' of the things Clinton and Obama did (assuming you mean BILL and his crooked wife during the BO administration).......but you don't think Trump is 'suited' to the job. Trump isn't a leader in your opinion, and yet it was BO who refused to take advice from anyone other than Jarrett for 8 years.....and that didn't work out so well, with Trump now cleaning up the mess he left behind.

I personally don't see him picking fights with those he needs to pass his agenda....he's actually POKING those who RAN on the SAME agenda and now are showing themselves to be the cowards they really are and calling them out on it so the PEOPLE know which ones lied to them.

What '16 years of wrongs built up'..........????? Details are important, Bob....please point them out for me, because I have a few complaints about GWB, but an entire 8 YEARS of BO and I've been ranting about them the whole time. Which wrongs are you thinking of?

Aug 26, 2017 5:39AM PDT

I meant Clinton and Obama when they where prez.
I did not like some of the thing both did.
Yes they both had their warts but I don't hold a grudge against all dems.

Trump can't even hold onto his advisors it's like musical chairs in the WH.
Their slowly figuring out the guy is a loose cannon with his mouth and his tweets.
He can not stand for anyone to criticize or question him.
He brought the I'm the boss mentality to Washington and it's not working very well.

Criticizing publicly the leader of the senate, who he needs, does not make sense to me.

Repubs in congress are trying to figure out how their going to get anything done with this guy

Aug 25, 2017 6:10AM PDT

during the last term of GWB for some reason....the Dems began moving to the far left as the Soros money began coming in far more than it had before and it's only gotten worse. There are many bills on the table right now that Dems in the past mostly agreed and actually voted on before but refuse to do so now. I honestly believe that Harry Reid, as leader of the Senate, by refusing to even bring bills up for a vote accelerated the downward spiral and I don't know if it can recover anymore. Many of the 'long term' Senators now are only concerned with keep THEIR positions (on both sides) have lost the ability to compromise anymore and are more interested in retaining their own personal power. That's why they all have to go....no matter what side of the aisle they're on.

If we as voters started sending more moderate/centrist people to Washington perhaps the country could start moving forward.

Check out "cultural appropriation"
Aug 23, 2017 9:16AM PDT

I've seen stories of white girls who put their hair in "corn rows" being attack by blacks for "cultural appropriation". So, what's with all the jeri curls, the hair straighteners, the skin bleach, for personal care with the black girls? Is that not also "cultural appropriation"? If that's carried to ultimate conclusion, then all blacks would have to quit playing or being on teams for baseball, football, and basketball, since those originated with whites and for years the professional teams were only white. Are they ready to give that up in the fairness doctrine they believe called "Cultural Appropriation"?

As for sports, check news on ESPN dropping a sports announcer named Robert Lee this week. Oh yeah, he's Asian.
