DJL 235 #101 January 2, 2017 RonD1120***Yes, much better to live in a theocracy with a king. I'm OK with Jesus Christ filling that position. I also believe He is coming much sooner than most folks believe. Keep watching Israel.

Justices can be appointed for the next four years. Laws passed, legislation amended, taxes cut. Draining the swamp needs ideologically based and integrity driven politicians. trump is not one of those. Those politicians are few and seldom find partners to support bills that put limits on the slime that fills swamps. Theft from charities IMO, is like child molesters, lower than pond scum. But mix politics into the equation and everyone jumps into the swamp. Politicians, voters and all the other creatures that live in swamps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowlerk 2,277 #104 January 3, 2017 QuoteTrump will serve a full term because only Republicans can impeach him. True, but if they did impeach him that would make Pence POTUS. I'm thinking the GOP could live with that. Trump will not be impeached unless he does something both illegal and major. Being a lying liar is not enough.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #105 January 3, 2017 >Hell has frozen over! >Chew on that one. Why has hell frozen over? Everyone wants to be the last one in. Pretty much every single person calling for excluding Muslims/building a big wall/keeping "them" out came here as an immigrant. Heck, Ben Franklin (whose father was an immigrant) went off on the stupid, swarthy Germans and called on the government to keep them out of America - in 1751. Hell didn't freeze over then, nor did it freeze over when immigrants and children of immigrants tried to keep out the Germans, or the Dutch, or the Irish, or the Italians, or the Puerto Ricans, or the Mexicans, or the Muslims.

"House GOP votes to rein in independent ethics watchdog" Between self investigation, closed doors and the new amendment. "The proposal bars the ethics office from considering anonymous tips about potential ethics violations and prevents disclosures about investigations. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4830096;page=unread#unread Impeachment is impossible! I recall trump saying something about "Donald Trump doubles down on claim he could ‘murder’ someone and not lose voters" http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/24/donald-trump-doubles-down-on-claim-he-could-murder/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
