I had criticized the pick of Puzder at the the time, but I found out just recently that he’s very pro-life. I know that’s not related to his job, but I think that speaks to his character. The Democrats were opposed to him as well, so he had to be doing something right.

At this point, the Democrats (and GOPe) are doing every thing they can to stymie the Trump agenda. He would be better off bypassing the confirmation process and establish a “board of directors” and conduct business.

BTW, he’s got to get rid of the half breed’s people - ALL OF THEM.

The slime of the liberals, commies, homos, socialists, dimocrats, etc. is the only way they even can come close to winning anything is this crap they do. If they cannot get at the person they want to kill, then they go after his or her family members. That is the way slime operates. One day, and I think not in the too distant future, the Lord God of Heaven will deal with these people in the Tribulation and then at the Great White Throne. They may THINK they are getting away with their crap, but one day, The Lord Jesus Christ will deal with them. They deny Him now, but the book of Revelation clearly tells us that at a future point they will hit their knees and will admit that HE IS INDEED LORD, GOD, CREATOR, SAVIOR, AND JUDGE!!! The Lake of Fire awaits all who have denied Him.

Did he mean illegals or immigrants? Big difference.

Immigrants come thru the front door after knocking and ask if they can come in- and they desire to become Americans.

But illegals sneak in under darkness, steal from TaxPayers, whether thru crime or welfare and any money made is sent home. Simply put, they USE us for their own purpose and have no desire to become American.

If I were Trump, I’d tax money transfers to other countries, unless you can prove citizenship.

AND, we should call legal immigrants- immigrants and the others just illegals.

Lost a democrat and now a conflicted Republican. Could be a lot worse.

Agreed. Only problem is it feeds the sharks and encourages the bestial proclivities of the enemy. Like the hyenas they represent to the body politic, they'll snarl and attack Trump in packs even more savagely now that they believe they've claimed two scalps. We can hope his administration is up to the task of forging ahead.

Only rhetorically.
Unless they decide to ramp up the already criminal rioting (as in assaults and property damage)
Which they no doubt are looking for anything to justify their insanity anyhow.
Otherwise, they already hate Trump.
And Trump is going to do what he promised no matter.
So,let them continue to look like poor losers.
It’s not going to cost more elections.

When the “press” can operate as an enemy of the President and the right wing without consequence, there is no disincentive to them trying to destroy them.

The press in Russia behaves because once in a while one of them gets shot or disappears.

The US is made weaker and less safe by allowing these degenerate animals to operate against the national interest.

It is not “Patriotic” to allow them to continue unmolested, it is cowardly and wrong.

CNN was apoplectic over the news conference today, peddling some fake BS about the Russians talking to all of Trumps people during the campaign.

FAKE STORY, FAKE NEWS

These enemy propagandists would do well too remember how Goebbels and his family ended up.

This Pudzer was a mistake, anybody who’s ex-wife appears on Oprah in disguise and says she was subject to domestic abuse probably shouldn’t have been nominated.

Probably wants to forego a public anal exam. Heck ... He probably actually talked to a genuine Russian once which apparently is now a brand new Cardinal offense used by these Leftist Libtards.

Puzder, the CEO of the company that owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. fast food chains, has faced fierce opposition mostly from Democrats in part related to his position on labor issues as well as the fact that he employed an undocumented housekeeper.

Democrats are funny. They say illegals are great and have to stay or we're un-american. But then they say if you hire one, you're a terrible person. They make me laugh.

For the record, the Republicans brought down two original Obama cabinet appointees: Bill Richardson for Secreatary of Commerce due to federal investigation into some of his political donors. He withdrew himself from the nomination.
Obama tried to replace Richardson with Republican Senator Judd Gregg. Gregg being confirmed would have given the Democrats a super-majority in the Senate. Gregg ended up withdrawing his name.
And Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Daschle was paid $220,000 in speaking fees to Healthcare providers, and was paid $16 million as an advisor to Healthcare lobbying groups in the time between his departure from the US Senate and his nomination. Daschle pulled his name from nomination.

Very true. They have a very narrow window to do their worst - and they’ll try anything and everything (Schumer, Pelosi, the media, Soros, etc.). I’m cautiously optimistic that Trump and his team will be able to overcome their efforts.

We quit going to the one Carl’s here in the Houston suburbs as all their employees seemed to be Hispanic and we simply couldn’t understand them. Don’t know if they are a franchise owned by someone not under the direction of Puzder or what but too many restaurants to ponder. We quit going to Sonic for the same reason. Sometimes we just want a hamburger - otherwise it’s always CFA.

The Deep Dark State wins again. Puzder was going to be the pitbull to go after “Disparate Impact”. So pro-amnesty Rino's won, not good, DJT has taken it on the chin on the last 72 hrs, we need a big win here folks.

One time I helped Carl Karcher at John Wayne Airport many, many years ago and he gave me a “Meal Card For Life” - I was so grateful. I lost it in about 1984 during a move. I was so upset. Those burgers and fries used to be really good

Seven republicans were all set to votes against hum. That’s why he withdrew.

Problems had been addressed but once the MSM starts rolling them out, you’ll never know that.


Remember when the Obama Admin nominated a tax cheat for Treasury Secretary? Good times.

Good. Now we can have a nominee who is actually interested in Americans keeping their jobs.

To those who think Puzder shouldn’t have withdrawn his nomination:

If you’re a leader who is getting tough on illegal aliens, it does not pay to have somebody in your cabinet with a history of hiring one or more illegal aliens. Period.

All the talk about Bannon being racist came from some unverified comment his ex said during divorce proceedings too. That’s how Obama won his first election.
