ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe thing that Trump should have said the other night in his closing is:
ReplyDeleteDo you want another 4 or 8 years of what we have been going through for the past 8 years?
Or do you want CHANGE in the way this country has been run down the drain?
Donald J. Trump is the main and the only hopeful chance. That we have to turn things around for America and ought to be considered important!!! He adores America and Americans of ALL races.
He is insusceptible to extraordinary enthusiasm campaigning since he has acknowledged no gifts or unique premium cash. No other competitor can make this claim.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda... Yadda yadda yadda... Trump was just one more dope who thought he could go against the champ. He punched hisself out, swinging at air, while ol' Hillary the gorilla glided away and grinned.
DeleteYa don't see it yet, do ya kid? Americans want Obama. Americans want Hillary and all those progressive big plans! They don't know no better. Freedom scares people. Big Mommy and Big Daddy make people feel safe. Progressivism has zero opposition in this country, so no shit its gonna take over.
...wish I was young enough to still be around to enjoy seeing those hipsters, college PC whiners and trendy little upscale lefties get dry-fucked by the system they elected...
Oh well, maybe ol' Nick will install me a window so I can look up and see what's goin' on...
Yes, but I so hoped you'd see the HUMOR in it.
DeleteIrreverence of this sort is a welcome antidote to the migraine headache this campaign became months ago.
Hey Buster, Bullshit! you keep punchin and stompin till they're not movin anymore. That how you win.
DeleteReal life has become indistinguishable from parody and satire. That's why most "comedy" has turned so nasty and mean. They've smashed all the icons, shibboleths and sacred cows. Of course, progressives have erected new ones, but the the jesters know better than to touch those... Eminem and Bill Maher get close, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteTrapped in reality...
I understand, but disagree to see extent. I thought THIS sketch from SNL was brilliantly executed and lots of fun. I know all the participants must be leftists, but McKinnon's portrayal of HRC was full of subtleties and marvelously scathing.
DeleteNo doubt, they are skilled actors and its a funny skit. I just find it all so boring, redux, derivative...
DeleteThey were doing the same shtick going back to the 80's. Remember the Perot skits? Hilarious. The one that parodied Admiral Stockdale in his debate, with the hearing aid, that was funny. I also remember the Bush-Gore skits. Classic!
But to quote an old Merle Haggard song, Things ain't Funny Anymore
To those who think and feel, its all one big Tragicomedy, and in that sense life itself entertains more than drug-addled maniacs attempting pale imitations of it.
We differ considerably. I think it's probably a generational thing –– possibly regional too. I am after all a native New Yorker born and bred. I dropped the accent, thank God, –– as most who had any pretense at good breeding used to feel obligated to do –– but even so having been raised in and around The City –– we never called it anything but The City –– creates a bond that no amount of distance and time could ever break.
DeleteNew York, as I knew it, was the most vibrant, exciting, stimulating, energizing, wonder inducing place imaginable. I have always considered it a tremendous privilege to have been raised there.
We don't seem to use the term COSMOPOLITAN anymore. Too bad! It represents something far superior to "MULTICULTURALISM." The former is INCLUSIVE, SOPHISTICATED and ENRICHING, the latter is DIVISIVE, INFURIATING and DEPRESSING.
At any rate New York was a truly cosmopolitan city filled with ethnically diverse neighborhoods each with its own brand of wonderful food, curious customs and an enormous variety of foreign accents. It was a fascinating, enlivening, colorful, amazing place to live.
I loved it, was proud of it, and I will always miss it.
I have already posted this somewhere else before, but I believe it definitely deserves to be said again! Why I am and why you vote for Donald Trump.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump was not my first choice for president at first. Some of you may believe that he as funny Hair, or that he has a "Potty Mouth" And some fear will set the world a blaze.
But think about it! Just think about what you are doing before you pull that lever for Crooked Hillsry!
This country is being run ass-backwards, and we are about to elect someone who will not only NOT fix it, but who will make it worse!
How ate we to know what Hillary is doing or even thinking when she has so often proved that she is a liar and can not even be trusted with Confidenal information! Who lies, and cover ups her lies with more lies! Do we really want to elect a president who has distroyed her computer to hide her wrong doings? Where I come from that is known as Criminal Activities!
I believe it’s going to take something or someone extraordinary to right it. I would rather share a cell with Charley Manson than vote for Hillary Clinton. The only thing that will change if she wins is an increase in her speaking fees. Hillary will not fix what is broken but only make things worse.
1. Political Correctness. You can’t say Merry Christmas, white lives matter, Obama’s wrong or express a political opinion that is not supported by the left. Freedom of speech is an endangered concept in this country. It will only get worse under Hillary.
2. Everything white (white privilege) is bad in some circles because some minorities have not been able to compete. They don’t mention that many whites cannot compete either. This is not a matter of color it is a matter of ambition and a wiliness to take responsibility for oneself. This will not change under Hillary because she loves VICTIMS, they vote for her.
3. Government knows best. Us common folk need government to tell us how to live ours lives and how the government should spread the wealth around (our money). Who knows better than Hillary, just ask the guys in Benghazi, silly rabbits wanted more security.
4. It takes a village to raise a child. Sure if you want a really screwed up kid that doesn’t know which bathroom to use.
5. A Supreme Court appointed by Clinton will rubber stamp her every move. From everything to bring in thousands of Syrian refugees (check out Germany right now) to blaming the police for every social ill created by her leftist’s government. Police Officers will have hell to pay under a Clinton Kingdom.
I could go on but most of you are tired of me already. I’m voting for Trump because Hillary is not an option and it will take someone bold (and maybe a little crazy) to get things back on track. And if you believe that two people (Clintons) working in government their whole lives can earn 150 million dollars without being crooks then you’re too stupid to vote.
ReplyDeleteIf Donald Trump fails to win this election, we have only the REPUBLICAN PARTY ESTABLISHMENT to blame for it. Everyone of these losers are #%*%?~$ damned bastards ought to be stripped of their positions in the Repubican Party. And that includes the ENTIRE Bush clan all of whom have turned out to be One Worlders.
As well as everyone one those hypocrites who stood on that stage at the primaries. They will be responsible for Donsld Trumps losing.
They will OWN A president Hillary!
And us real Conservatives will not forget it.
I couldn't agree more, DD.
DeleteMaybe the GOOD we're supposed to draw from this fiasco is being faced with the grim reality of WHO and WHAT we've REALLY been dealing for so many years.
The Bushes have revealed themselves to have been traitors and backstabbers all along.
I always felt –– even before old George ran as Mr. Reagan's Vice President –– that there was some indefinable "something" I could never bring myself to like about Old George. His "sterling qualities" never quite added up.
And the bizarre fondness the Bushes professed for Bill Clinton struck me as downright EERIE under the circumstances.
Heaven only knows where we'll be a year from now –– or even IF we'll be a year from now. };^)>
FreeThinke, I do appreciate your efforts to lighten things up. We need it. BTW, I like Alec Baldwin, rantings and all.
ReplyDeleteFunny! I was never the least bit attracted to him as performer until I ran into THIS skit. His send up of Donald Trump is incredibly good. So good that if Baldwin were doing voice overs he could easily dub in Mr. Trump's lines FOR him, and no one would ever be able to tell the difference.
DeleteBut there has always been something greasy and dead common about his looks and his speech. He's uncouth. Now I realize that it's very much in fashion stop be "uncouth" these days, but it wasn't when I was growing up, so I spent a lot of time in Couth School ;-) and have been nonplussed and severely irritated that the world in which I was so carefully groomed to function optimally had ceased to exist by the time it was "my turn" to be an adult.
What a GYP!
I guess I was not made to adapt to change very well. It's okay. I manage.

DeleteHillary is not likeable, so they can't make her look good, so that have to make Donald Trump look bad,
ReplyDeleteHillary can´t run on her record, so she has to run on her lies about Trump, which the media amplifies on her behalf.
It´s only appropriate that Trump doesn´t play by their rules and, punches them back twice as hard.
It´s kind of refreshing watching him. He's got my Vote.
I have never felt the least bit attracted to her, BUT last night at the Al Smith dinner I saw a different side of Herself I wish she'd shown on the campaign trail. She was charming. She was gracious. She was funny as hell. She even managed to look pretty.
DeleteShe has learned over long decades of steely tenacity and incredible perseverance to improve her image. She is no longer the dour, glowering, slovenly-looking, humorless, ill-clad girl with dirty hair we see in her college pictures. Sadly, she has lost her once-pretty-good figure, and become bloated and dumpy to a fault, but her FACE has improved considerably. Even her harsh, grating, scolding, tactless brazen VOICE has been modified to the extent that she now seems almost human.
She never had any talent for reading lines, but she's a great deal better at it NOW than she used to be. Her speech, which she read at the Al Smith dinner, was an excellent performance. Her gestures, intonation and her TIMING were so well coordinated they seemed lifelike.
In short, like her to not, we have to admit the woman has transformed herself into a real pro. Doubtless she's a had a lot of help from plastic surgeons, custom dress designers, makeup consultants and probably a resident hair stylist her Hollywood connections have supplied, but when all is said and done, it is SHE who stands alone on the stage facing the cameras.
I have to admire her tenacity, her stamina, and –– yes–– her sense of humor about herself. And we have to give her this: NO ONE has ever worked HARDER to pursue a lifelong dream of glory than HRC.
We HAVE to give her credit for that.
And now, what does Trump deserve credit for? If anything.
DeleteWhy don't YOU tell us?
DeleteThere is ABSOLUTELY nothing positive to say about Trump.
DeleteGood! You've exposed yourself admirably and confirmed all our worst suspicions. Great job!
DeleteNOW, why don't you tell us what we ought to admire about HILLARY –– other than her incredible tenacity, which is a given?
GO ON –––––––– TELL us! We're all ears.
If the media spent a tenth of the time on hiLIARy’s crooked foundation of bribery or her benghazi disaster or her email scandal, As they do on playing Billy Bush's tape, the world would have rid itself of her years ago.
ReplyDeleteSo, if Trump loses, no sane person would ever again try to fix this mess we call a political system. And that is what we need. Not another crooked politician that sees office as a personal ATM machine for themselves and not for the good of We The People.
Yes. Yes. Yes, but all that's been apparent for a long time, so let's not beat it to death. You're beginning to much und too much like Sean Hannity who does little but recite long litanies every time a person's name is mentioned. It does get tiresome, and is probably counter-productive in promoting "our" cause.
DeleteBut he's correct !
DeleteThere are many times when simply being correct is not enough.
DeleteAs I sit here thinking about how our country will change for the worse in the next few weeks if we elect Hillary Clinton as our President. This will go down hill faster then we've ever seen, I am reminded that while there are many things about America that can be improved, much of what Hillary Clinton is saying is nothing more than formulaic Marxism. Class warfare, inciting racial strife to rally the progressive socialist democrat base, and denigrating American institutions and ALL AMERICANS.
ReplyDeleteWhy would any American put up with this nonsense of electing a crooked liar as our president?
Think about Hillary and her corruption and criminal enterprises. How can we let this happen at the critical juncture in our history.
For the sacrifices of those who have gone before use, vote Trump and demand he make America great again or deal with a liar, a crooked, power hungry, sick old washed up women that is married to the ex-President that has the honor of getting a BJ in the Oval Office of the White House.
Think about it.

ReplyDeleteThis Election is About Low Information Idiots and
ReplyDeleteAmerican Loving Citizens, who want this Country to be and remain Great!
And The Donald represents the American Loving Citizens. It is really that simple
It all boils down to this, in a relatively short time, Clinton was able to reduce Trump into a frustrated, red-faced, bumbling idiot who could barely get out a coherent sentence. Imagine what a pile of quivering blubber Trump would turn into is a serious international negotiation.
ReplyDeleteOnly a LEFTIST could possibly interpret things that way.
DeleteMrs. C-Word has been a prominent figure on the world's stage for at least twenty-five years, and has precious little to show for it. She has only proven herself to be VENAL, MENDACIOUS, UNTRUSTWORTHY, INCOMPETENT and downright TREACHEROUS.
She proved herself to be an enabler, advocate, and CHAMPION of Sexual Abuse of Women in her tenure as First Lady of Arkansas AND of the United States. She was a cypher in the senate and an abject failure as Secretary of State.
She has no legitimate defense of her politics or her record, so ALL she and her minions (people like you) can do is INSULT, BULLY and LIE abut those who oppose her candidacy.
I will give her one thing, besides her incredible perseverance in pursuit of power: She is is probably THE most accomplished LIAR ever to emerge from the bowels of overweening Ambition.

ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton held a small press gaggle on her campaign plane after Wednesday night’s final presidential debate in Las Vegas.
ReplyDeleteOne reporter asked Clinton about the undercover videos released by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas showing Democratic operatives apparently discussing ways to commit voter fraud and incite violence at Donald Trump rallies.
Clinton brushed off the question and said that she knew nothing about the reports, abruptly ending the press gaggle.
“I know nothing about this. I can’t deal with every one of his conspiracy theories,” Clinton said. “I hope you all have something to eat and drink on the way back to New York.”
The videos resulted in two Democratic operatives being dismissed from their jobs, NPR reported.
Project Veritas, which has carried out several damaging video sting operations, has posted several videos in recent days purporting to show Democratic operatives bragging about inciting violence at Trump’s campaign events, and appearing to detail how they could bus out-of-state supporters in to commit voter fraud.
“Once again Donald Trump was ahead of his times,” campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Tuesday night. “He’s been talking about this for the last couple days.”
One of the operatives, Scott Foval, has been fired from his job at Americans United For Change, according to multiple news outlets.
The second, Robert Creamer, has said he’s stepping back from his position at Democracy Partners.
Clearly, Brazile was bragging how she gets debate questions in advance and put it upon herself to forward at least one to the Clinton campaign. A more recently unearthed email finds that the question Brazile sent to Clinton's campaign was regarding the death penalty. It appears to be word-for-word.
ReplyDeleteWhen Kelly asked Brazile who forwarded her those questions, Brazile refused to answer.
"As a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted" she said.
Donna Brazile fits in perfectly with the rest of the SLEAZE of the Clinton campaign and the entire Democratic bunch! With emphasis on, "The Sleaze".
At least she didn't s call Kelly a racist ! Yet!
Donna Brazile is nothing but a token - stupid nigger bitch who ought to be scrubbing floors for a living,
Delete“Secretary Clinton proved tonight she is unfit to be commander-in-chief. What she did compromises our national security. She is cavalier and reckless and in my opinion should be detained and questioned so we can unravel why she did what she did.”
ReplyDeleteApparently, the information she divulged falls under the U.S. Special Access Program (SAP), which dictates protocols for highly classified and Top Secret information. There’s only about a dozen officials outside of the highest ranking members of the military who know any of the details about our nuclear response time, one of which is the Secretary of State, which means she couldn’t have let slip more sensitive information had she tried.
More from True Pundit about the various DoD SAP protocols Hillary violated [emphasis mine]:
Since nuclear response is part of the sensitive national plan for nuclear war operations, all of its schematics are covered under both “Intelligence SAPs” and “Operation and Support SAPs,” sources said. Both contain Top Secret information.
“Targeting options by ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles), air or sea, launch order, launch procedures and response are some of the most secretly guarded tenets of national security and nuclear war policy,” a Pentagon source said. “It’s truly incredible that (nuclear) response time as part of an ERO (Emergency Response Option) is now out there in the public domain to our adversaries.”
U.S. Defense sources said according to developed U.S. counterintelligence, military officials in China, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Iran and even actors like ISIS had no previous definitive intelligence to determine the U.S. nuclear response time, especially during an ERO, prior to Clinton’s admission Wednesday night. Sources reluctantly acknowledged her calculations were accurate.
“Any time frame calculated would have merely been an educated hypothesis, absent leaked documents and there have been no such breaches,” the DoD source said.
Isn’t that nice? This woman doesn’t belong anywhere near our national security secrets, period.

VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP AND TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
In a little over two weeks, we're going to find out whether we have a country anymore. If Hillary Clinton seizes the White House, she will preside over an illegitimate, illegal dictatorship that was seized through massive fraud, collusion and corruption at every level.
ReplyDeleteWithout all the fraud, collusion and corruption, Hillary Clinton would have been indicted for criminal violations of national security. She would be down 20 points in the polls, and the media wouldn't be covering up all her crimes and failures. Without the collusion, Hillary Clinton wouldn't have known all the TV debate questions ahead of time. The voter "panels" wouldn't have been coached by Clinton operatives to regurgitate rehearsed comments, and the official media polls wouldn't have been rigged to construct the appearance of widespread Clinton support.
Every element of this election is so rigged, so illegal and so fraudulent that if Hillary Clinton "wins" this vote, the Presidency of the United States will be null and void.
As Wikileaks accurately states in this tweet, There is no US election. There is power consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper' candidate drive consolidation.
can you fathom that at least some of thr opposition to obama and driving force behind the 'tea party' was racism?
ReplyDeleteClick to expand...
I can fathom that there are pigs in all walks of life. For 8 years yall claimed that Congress blocked Obama because he was black. The argument was childish and only used because of narrow mindedness
Another stupid post by righties who just make up shit . You also imply the dead are voting , but shown no proof . Something easily proven if it was happening , so prove it!
DeleteHUMA CALLS IT A "MESS," THE REST OF US CALL IT CORRUPTION!
ReplyDeleteFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arranged a $12 million donation from Moroccan King Mohammed VI to her family’s charity in 2014 in return for the Clinton Global Initiative hosting its international meeting in the North African Muslim nation, according to an email made public Thursday by Wikileaks.
The Moroccan monarch’s funds went to the Clinton Foundation’s endowment and to CGI. The Jan. 18, 2015, email was included in Wikileaks’ latest batch of communications to and from Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta.
The email from Huma Abedin, Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff at the State Department, was addressed to Podesta and campaign manager Robby Mook. Hillary Clinton was a director of the foundation at the time.
Singapore and Hong Kong officials reportedly were also vying to convene the CGI meeting in their countries, but the North African nation ultimately hosted it in a five-star hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco, in 2015. Abedin told Podesta and Mook that Morocco was not CGI’s “first choice.”
ReplyDeleteYou know what Trump has accomplished? He's shown the Righties and all the other crackpot contingents of rightwing extremism that they have the power to come together and nominate extremists for office that have little or no chance of winning when they face more diverse voting populations in the general elections.
They have the potential to cripple the Republican Party at the statewide and national levels for years to come.
FYI: It is "our" considered opinion that the Republican Party aka the GOP has so diluted its identity and abandoned its mission as to be utterly worthless. I can't believe that YOU are so behind the times and so woefully ignorant of current Reality –– else so naive –– as to believe still that "party" matters to "us" anymore.
DeleteLABELS mean nothing these days. YOU, for instance, probably identify as a DEMOCRAT when in fact you are no such thing. There ARE no "Democrats today. Instead, you have been transformed into LEFTISTS –– crypto-Marxists –– devotées of the deadliest most destructive political philosophy ever devised.
As such "we"who cherish LIBERTY above all else must fight you –– to the DEATH, if necessary –– lest we lose all the progress made since the days of the Enlightenment.
