Now, now FRiend, don’t spoil the Trump-hating crowd’s fun by throwing the truth at them, that’s most unkind. ;)

[House Atreides]

Oh yeah...now I see...you are one of the panicked anti-Cruz jihadists. I guess eventually you’ll tire of grasping at straws and engage in discussions of real issues. I’ll leave you to your fellow anti-Cruz jihadists on this holy day.

Thank you! I’ve have seen this before. Dean and the Duke made one of my favorite westerns - Rio Bravo. Dino was a fine actor.

[mkjessup]

He was indeed, and Rio Bravo was tremendous.

My Rifle, My Pony and Me. Even worth putting up with Ricky Nelson.

[miss marmelstein]

You anti-Trump people seem to be anti-humor as well.

[KGeorge]

LOL

Good idea but trumpees do not care. They defend all that is donald.

I remember how much anger their was after Kelo. In fact, there was a caustic movement to take Justice Souter’s house under E.D. for “economic” development. I am sure that many Trump supporter abhor Kelo but seem all to willing to pass on Trump’s position.

That video is wonderful thanks

I suppose the same can be said of Roe v Wade.

Funny you should mention Rick Nelson, I always found it darkly ominous that at his last show before he died on New Year’s Eve 1985, he closed out with the same song that Buddy Holly did in his last show in 1959, ‘Rave On’, and went on to die in a plane crash just like Buddy did.

And then, there was Waylon Jennings, (part of Buddy Holly’s band) who told the story of how Buddy had chartered that plane to maybe gain a little time to get over a cold that had been bothering him, and Waylon had given his seat to J.P. Richardson (the Big Bopper), and Buddy was kidding him about it before he took off, saying “well Waylon, I hope you freeze in that damn ol’ bus!” (laughing) and Waylon retorted “yeah, and I hope your damn plane crashes.”

Waylon said it took years to even try and come to grips with what he had said in jest, not knowing that he was forecasting the immediate future.

trumpees do not care. They defend all that is donald.

And you Trump-haters would gnaw off the arm of your own mothers to beat Donald Trump over the head with it.

Your hatred needs professional help. Get some.

[mkjessup]

That video is wonderful thanks

My pleasure FRiend. I have often imagined a world in which the Duke never got cancer, and he and Ronald Reagan ended up as the GOP ticket in 1976, and how much different things would have been. :)

Eminent Domain is the law of the land, bought and paid for by politicians and their pacs. Politicians are the ones who decide when to allow eminent domain and when to deny it to real estate developers. ($$$$). NO ONE is challenging this injustice, including Trump.

On the other hand, NO ONE challenged political correctness, illegal immigration nor flooding the nation with jihadists before Trump, either.

Tag line.

It's amazing how the Trumpettes can't even admit their man could possibly wrong on even one issue. Emminent domain for private profit is evil and shows the Donald's feelings about government power, but that doesn't matter to them. I don't remember one Freeper defending the Kelo decision when it came out, but now it's Okay because he says it is.

And for all those saying it's okay because Trump offered more money than the properties worth, well not everything comes down to money.

You anti-Trump people seem to be anti-humor as well.

Is it a joke? In his TV commercial Trump claims he's going to cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. How does he do that without taking the land it's under? Meaning invade and occupy?

You Trump fanatics need to listen you your guy more.

[zeugma]

Can Republicans support someone with so little regard for... property of others?

This is something that has long been the biggest bone of contention I have against Trump.

[miss marmelstein]

God, it’s like you’ve had a humor tumor removed.
