@cteavin: (sigh) Sad but true.

@Frederick: @spam17: @Frederick: Some moonbat at NBC claimed that Secretary of State Tillerson called Trump a "moron".  It's fascinating that only this NBC reporter knows about this.  Assuming that Tillerson did say that, how would the NBC reporter know?   hmm.. Anyway.. CNN then has a bold headline stating that Tillerson called Trump a Moron.. but when you go to the article, it says this "Rex Tillerson kind of, sort of just admitted he called Trump a 'moron' " Can you imagine Walter Cronkite saying something like that in one of his news reports?    Something like this maybe.. "This is Walter Cronkite reporting..  we have reports of gunshots ringing out in the motorcade of president Kennedy and we are kind of, sort of confirming that he is dead.. maybe.." Talk about someone covering their ass! Tillerson praised Trump's foreign policy agenda, saying he was part of a team to "make America great again." But he did not deny calling the president a "moron," declining to address that remark directly and saying, "I'm not going to deal with petty stuff like that." One cannot allow themselves to be baited by the media. They asked him specifically if he called Trump and moron and he declined to answer, and gave a reason for not answering.   Consider if they said "Did you call the president an asshole?"  "Did you call the president a cannibalistic pedophile?"   'Did you say that Trump runs around the Rose Garden wearing pink panties and a bra?"   In other words, their question did not dignify a response. ::)

@raphjd: It was stupid of her and the producers to waste an entire episode on it.     There was nothing "smoking gun" or even questionable in it. Unfair treatment? :balls2:

@cteavin: @Frederick: I posted about this bitch before.. and now it looks like she might be going to jail!    :crazy2: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/06/uc-student-who-stole-maga-hat-in-viral-video-could-face-felony-charges.html Good. I hope she gets deported, too.

@Frederick: I was going to post that meme here! The version I found said "We used to rule one third of the World.. now WE are ruled by third world countries!"

@Frederick: @cteavin: @Frederick: @cteavin: @Frederick: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/02/dem-rep-green-calls-off-trump-impeachment-push-after-vegas-massacre.html One can't publically insult local officials or cops.. or they will pay dearly and regret it. I disagree. If you say Caitlyn Jenner isn't a real woman, however, shit will hit the fan. It's the topics that people that misidentify as racist, sexist, phobic that will get you into trouble these days. Cops, there's a long history of calling them pigs. Local officials, I can't think of a career-ending sentence. That reminds me of that cop that I used to be friends with who later had his sister murder someone for him, etc   I once called him a "pig" as a joke, but he didn't take it that way.  He got VERY angry.  At the time, I didn't understand why, but later realized.. I had struck a raw nerve.. because he was a "bad cop" and he knew it.

@Frederick: @cteavin: @Frederick: Slimey Sinus vowed to leave the USA if Trump was elected.. yet she is still here! Why? http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/09/29/miley-cyrus-backtracks-on-vow-to-leave-america-because-trump-was-elected.html I wish you wouldn't create these kinds of monikers for people. I have trouble understanding who you're talking about half the time. Since it's a global audience here, I can't imagine people get it. Trump said he'd show his tax returns, Miley said she'd leave. Perhaps everyone should do as they say. Trump said he would show his tax returns once the audits were complete. ;D

@Frederick: @aadam101: I read a story the other day about the rise of TODDLERS shooting themselves and other people.  This is what happens when you give everyone a gun. That reminds me of the rise of elderly abuse and baby snatching in Bolton, England. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i25gZXQF2w&feature=youtu.be&t=42 What do you think about the youngsters? Are you saying that everyone at school should have a gun? [image: vxhiis.jpg]

@Frederick: @raphjd: She stopped being funny 20 years ago. Now she plays the victim while attacking everyone she doesn't like. That sound about right.  Long ago, she was funny. Hillary also plays the victim while attacking everyone she doesn't like. :-[ [i]

@spam17: @Frederick: Singer Tom Petty died of cardiac arrest today. My hunch is that they will find cannabis (marijuana) in his system. That's life.. No. No, I'm pretty sure it not. He's dead afterall.

@aadam101: @Frederick: @aadam101: Actually I think he should he criticized for both. I'm actually anti-abortion now. I've changed my mind. Banning abortion will ensure that millions of new Democrats are born each year. The Republican party will cease to exist in 25 years or so. Hmm.. you just gave republicans a great reason to be pro-choice! Exactly because Conservatives don't care about the fetus.  They care about controlling womens bodies.  That is the only reason we are still having this conversation. If men didn't need women to pro-create they would have wiped them off the face of the earth thousands of years ago. Nonsense!  Who would clean the toilets, make the sandwiches, and knit the sweaters?    Women were necessary up until the age of factory automation  powertools, and household appliances.  Before plumbing, women were needed to haul water from the wells.

@Frederick: According to the moonbats, racism never existed before Trump was elected. Also, whenever a white person commits a crime, it is because they are racist.  Finally, only white people are racists. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/03/professor-blames-las-vegas-massacre-on-trumpism-narrative-white-victimization.html Ciccariello-Maher stirred up controversy this past spring, tweeting that he wanted to “vomit” after watching a first-class passenger give up his seat to a uniformed solider. and… Professor Ciccariello-Maher said last December the only thing he wanted for Christmas was “white genocide” Interesting thoughts.

@spam17: @Frederick: @aadam101: He should get together with Casey Anthony. There actually is more to that Casey Anthony case.  I don't feel like researching it all again, but basically the little girl accidentally drowned, and the grandfather hid the body.   It seems like the police may have attempted to frame Casey by putting duct tape over the mouth of the decomposing body of Caylee. http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/06/18/florida.casey.anthony.trial/index.html :-[ [b] OJ could be in trouble again..  since being released, he has spent 2 days signing memorabilia in a hotel room.  He owes over $100 million from  unpaid restitution.  Receiving unreported income would be a violation of his parole and put him back in jail.

@raphjd: The left doesn't care about facts and reality.   They are all about feelz and buzz words. Second.. ;D

@Frederick: @cteavin: @spam17: @Frederick: @cteavin: @Frederick: @cteavin: ++1 You young whippersnappers and your fancy abbreviations. What does ++1 mean? It sounds like you're inviting Frederick and I to be your plus one at a party. (Which might be fun.) If I remember right.. ++1 is  used in the computer language C++ –--- you keep saying other members here are young whippersnappers.. at 48.. you are probably one of the younger ones!  Some of the members of this site attended Lincoln's inauguration! :love:

@raphjd: They're doing it, at least originally, not now, to protest how police officers disproportionately shoot, attack, arrest, target black people. The protest is based on lies and purposely misleading stats. Blacks make up 13% of the US population. Blacks make up 54-56% of the violent crimes. Blacks make up 43% of cop killers.   I haven't seen an stats on wounding police by race. Blacks make up 26% of the people shot (wounded or killed) by police. Black cops are the most likely to shoot, while white cops are the least likely to shoot. Less than 0.9% of ALL police shootings are "unjustified". Studies have shown that there is no "kill all da blacks" mentality in the police. The only thing studies have shown is that cops are more physically aggressive when arresting blacks.  This is due to the fact that blacks resist arrest more. This is the problem.   When talking about the issues, you can't leave out huge chunks and have an honest conversation.    It's something we see with BLM, feminists and every other SJW.     They are purposely dishonest. Statistics..

@mhorndisk: The more she blames others and talks about losing, the more it makes her look like a loser. This book is outselling her big time. https://rinf.com/alt-news/newswire/dont-give-a-fck-book-outselling-hillarys-what-happened/

@cteavin: @Frederick: This is unbelievable! It took a full 72 minutes from the time the police were notified of the shootings until they FINALLY got to the man - who had already killed himself!   Who knows how many would have been killed had the man kept shooting.  He ran out of machine gun ammunition!    Whether the police arrived in 72 minutes or 72 hours… it would not have mattered, because the man had already killed HIMSELF by the time they showed up!  THE POLICE WERE COMPLETELY USELESS!  So, how can anybody say that the police were HEROES? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/03/police-took-72-minutes-from-first-emergency-call-to-reach-las-vegas-shooter.html I'll bite. Though I tend to agree that hero is overly used that they were actively trying to help people during a shooting is why they're being called heroes, just as all the civilians who helped have been. As I've read the facts, the guns the shooter was using were powerful enough to hit their mark from very far away. When the shooting started no one could have imagined that they were coming from way down the street. The first-hand reports I've read said the people on the ground thought the bullets were coming from someone on the street. The attack was unprecedented. The facts are still coming in. Jumping to conclusions and blaming the police isn't the answer. Let the events unfold to see the complete, or more complete, timeline. That is what I initially thought.. however, this morning they were playing the recordings of the police communications.  They were very nervous and almost panicking.. and they spotted the flashes coming from the Mandalay Hotel shortly after the shooting began.  There is no excuse for them to take 72 minutes to reach the guy. As for them helping the victims.. that is their job.  I will add one thing though.. Firemen are quite a bit different from police.  They go into hyperdrive whenever the alarm sounds.  In fact, firemen often go into high gear only to find out it's a false alarm.  Police however, drag their asses when a call goes out.  They hope that all the action is over with by the time they arrive.

@cteavin: @Frederick: @aadam101: It's worth noting that his father was a bank robber who was on the FBI Most Wanted list.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This isn't Trumps fault.  This is the fault of the GOP.  They did nothing five years ago after a group of five year olds was blown away by a psycho.  They won't do anything this time around either. I'm not a fan of guns.  I think the UK has the right idea where even the police don't have guns.  I think the argument in this country is that there are plenty of gun laws.. but they are not enforced. I agree with aadam, if they didn't do anything after Sandy Hook, they won't do anything after Las Vegas. In Japan, the police don't carry guns. If you're one of the few that can get a gun for hunting there's a strict procedural: First, you must pass a test and retake that test every few years; the police come to your home each time you take that test; you have to prove you are mentally sound. The police have to request permission to check a gun out from the station and every bullet is (supposed to be) accounted for. In all my years here there has only been one shooting and that was between Yakuza in Kyusyu. Japan has the right idea on gun control!

@raphjd: CNN used to be the most respected news outlet in the world, now it's just leftist bullshit shit. ::)
