Plain and Simple died ignominiously as well...
Sure did. I posted on his corpse after the alert from Delta 21. I called him here too a few posts up. We have had some trolls around here who have mingled well but they get caught eventually. I’ve been jousting with this one in between cooking sausage, peppers and onions for tomorrow’s tailgate.
“...sausage, peppers and onions...”???
What?
Where do you live?
I will bring a case of beer...
In Virginia. You da man!!
I’ll tell you about something else that’s really good for watching sports snacking. Get the makings for Chili Con Queso (Rotel and Velveeta). Prep via microwave. Then get some Chorizo sausage then remove the casings then chop it up like ground beef then brown it. Then you fold it into the Con Queso. You can serve with chips or use it over Tex Mex. To die for.
Man! Haven’t had that in years...
That actually sounds like a great snack after snowboarding and near a raging fire in a pit and some cold, cold beers...
Virginia!
Crao. If I still lived in Delawhere I’d make the trek...
McCain screwed Trump on the Obamacare repeal. There is a good chance that Flake will screw him on the Kavanaugh vote. Presenting this possible scenario is not the same as wanting the scenario to play out.
I hope Flake comes to his senses and puts country before vengeance, something McCain couldn't bring himself to do.
Flake is an axehole...
It’s a wonder you survived this long since all you do is flame anyone trying to have a reasoned discussion. You’re just a punk, and JimRob really ought to eliminate you.
Completely agree.
What you say is basically true but there is more to it. Flake has been a disappointment since he has been in the House and Senate going back to W’s days in office and in the mold like Charlie Dent of PA who is also on his way out by “retirement”. With Trunp’s election this crowd is getting forced out of the system by the new political powers in America who put Trump in office. Go look at the list of those retiring and you will see a pattern of their old establishment loyalties. Those who back Trump come from industry, financial and military communities who are strong nationalists who have gone against the globalists because they do not want to see us go the way of Europe. I have known about this through my connections in my circle of influence (Quite a few things told to me long before the 2016 elections have been done and are now being done). These people are not leaving office voluntarily because its time to go but by an ultimatum by the new powers that be. Consider what we have seen in the big shift to the right by Lindsey Graham which started happening when McCain was getting close to his death and he has now gone fully to the right and supports Trump 100% since McCain’s funeral. We all know that Lindsey has been a card carrying member of the NWO since he came in the Senate and like McCain campaigned and acted conservative but after getting reelected he went back to serving his globalist masters and getting us all po’d. Why the change? Because he got his arm twisted by the new power brokers. This is a vicious fight to the death by the globalist and nationalist forces in this country. The globalists are basically traitors to the Constitution and the America people and the nationalists were/are ready to go to the fullest extreme to save our nation from these people. This struggle is also going on globally. It is understandable that Flake and others may want to act vindictively towards the administration but that can be very hazardous to them. Many of them made deals with the new powers to get out and not make waves. But because these people are human and are likely feeling heat from the other side they flop back and forth. I do know now that both Collins and Corker are yes votes on Kavanaugh as this Ford mess has been exposed more and more for what it is. I also believe that the new powers will get to Flake and ensure him that his life after politics will be made absolutely miserable by them if he tries to screw the country. We also as of late have had numerous trolls and posers come on this forum since the last election who are posers from the Resist movement who are here to cause discord and division among the rank n file conservatives by spreading gloom and doom causing our base to stay home for November. Some have been easy to catch and others have not. We have to be vigilant in catching them, exposing them and removing them to prevent them from accomplishing their goals and from what I have seen is that have been pretty successful from lots of the commenting and posting we see here. Other Freepers have been saying this to me in private for quite a while.
It is fabulous and where in Delaware did you live? I go there for vacation on the sea shore (Lewes, Rehobeth etc) Also played rugby many times at Cape Henlopen State Park for the Atlantic Cup tournament.
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
I use to live in Greenvile. About a mile from Joe Biden, whose home was my mile marker.
Beautiful.
Been to Lewes to see hot chicks and had a couple dinners at “The Black Pearl “ in Queer Hobeth.
Them dudes were pretty too...
Also watched the horses, once, cross across the Assateague Channel with a good friend, who was my boss.
Beautiful area.
Also use to stay at the “Park Place Hotel” which was fun because of the many birds they kept as pets and one year found it enchanting for the snow on the beach and a terrific warm breakfast.
Delawhere is a wonderful place, rich in history
You are mostly correct. I’m going to ping my list here because of what I think is happening:
First, the schedule: Senate rules require only a day after a cloture vote before a full floor vote. When the Judiciary Committee finally votes K out of committee for a floor vote, the DemoKKKrats will throw another tantrum and try to filibuster. This will take about a day. Yertle will then call for a cloture vote to end the filibuster. Rs will win that. So you will have about two days from the Judiciary Committee passing the nomination out to the floor until K is confirmed by a floor vote.
Second, it is a myth that if things are delayed, Judge K “can’t vote” in this term. Rubbish. Clarence Thomas wasn’t confirmed until Oct. 15. He would be recused from any oral arguments heard before he was seated, I think, but I’m not even sure he’d be recused then. No, Judge K will be fully ready when confirmed.
Third, Grassley has been fantastic, as has Yertle, but Grassley has a Flakey problem. The committee is 11-10 (which is a reason you want a BIG senate majority, when this crap can’t happen) .
Flakey told Grassley would not vote “yes” to let the nomination out of committee. That in itself “might” not pose a danger, in that Grassley can still just go straight to the floor without a committee recommendation. But in this case, that would be extremely dangerous, because it would give cover to Tom Collins and MurKowSki to vote no. He doesn’t want to do that. So he is humoring Flakey.
Sean Trende reported Flakey was going to vote “present” on the Judiciary Committee vote-—but Flakey denied it, while still not saying he’d vote “yes.” (BTW his Twitter feed is inundated by lefties demanding he vote no.)
As an Arizonian, I think Flakey is engaging in his last giant showboat hurrah, and wants the hearing so he can look “compassionate” to women, then will vote yes.
We can lose 1, or even 2 (and Pence would break a tie). But this would look very, very bad, when your majority cannot even gather a majority vote for a perfect USSC candidate.
I’m more convinced than ever that FinkStink screwed up big time in her strategy. This was hatched in July when she got the letter, but in July, there were still idiots out there saying the DemoKKKrats could take the Senate. Now in reality that hope is less likely than the Jamaican Bobsled Team putting a flag on Mars.
It was planned as follows, I think: Wait until the last minute. Launch the allegation. Delay the hearing or confirmation until the mid-terms. DemoKKKrats win the midterms. THEN demand that no judge be confirmed since “the people have spoken” and a new Senate is coming in as of January. Hope Rs cave to that.
This death machine got turned on in July, and I think FinkStink kind of forgot about it, and when she launched, the feeble-minded FinkStink forgot that it had hinged on DemoKKKrats taking the senate. She couldn’t turn it off.
Lost in all this was the likelihood that not only was Balless Edsel lying about her experience, but that the lies would be so exposed that in fact it would drag FinkStink herself into the fray.
I don’t think this is over for her. Judge K will be confirmed, as I think Flakey, post-grandstanding, will be a yes. But now the real digging into what did FinkStink know and when did she know it will start.
One last thing: Judge K was Trump’s choice . . . but he was also high on the Bushies’ list. FinkStink is like Hitler declaring war on not one, but two massive superpowers, either of which could crush her. Not a smart move.
Great comment, perhaps “Flakey” should be strongly “reminded” that his clearances will be lifted when he leaves, making it difficult to be the new eneMEDIA talking head (or another part of his body), if he doesn’t vote “yes”.
Personally, I think the Bushies should send him a message a la the Godfather, a horse head in his bed.
It’s that serious.
Very good analysis, LS.
Will this help or hurt us in November?
