[rodguy911]

Merry Christmas AB and everyone here at FR

[Diogenesis]

Thank you for the thread.

The "News" Talks shows are just so 'yesterday'.
The real rolling news appears to be [beyond the Uranium 1
scandal linking Clinton, Comey, Russia, and Mueller]:

[pugmama]

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. It has been so nice hearing more and more people say those words in the stores etc.

[rodguy911]

Who would ever have dreamed that Politico the most left-wing place out there would reveal what’s going on with Obama and project Cassandra
unbelievable
Obama needs to go to jail for letting all those drug dealers off the hook and forcing the DEA to lose all those years of work they put into that project.

[rodguy911]

Very nice to see the accepted customs of the country once again on display wherever you go.
so refreshing

[animal172]

Merry Christmas to all my fellow FReepers. May our New Year be full of good health and indictments for many of the Commurats.

[Sacajaweau]

Obviously no one to defend the Trump Tax package....or the UN position. Why am I not surprised.

Let them chew on their cuds as they always do.

[Fishtalk]

• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

Rumors and more Rumors

---

I hear tell that President Trump is telling people that Herr Mueller (SEIG HEIL MON FURHER) is going to write up a paper absolving Trump from any nefarious activity concerning the Russians.

Yeah. I really heard that. On Sean Hannity’s show I think but don’t hold me to it.

Also hearing that Paul Ryan will be resigning after next election but Ryan denies.

Heard Sarah Sanders really DID bake that pecan pie.

Tavis Smiley says he had some romances with females but he never did a thing untoward.

I don’t believe him one bit.

Also hearing, hoping this is not just a rumor, that the tax bill will be passed this week.

Senate passes tax reform bill;

---

It’s an early Christmas gift but the Senate passed the tax reform bill by 51-48. No Democrats voted for it.

Why?

Because they don’t want their constituents having tax breaks? They think they should pay MORE taxes and be grateful for their government?

Saw a snippet on Ingraham Angle last night involving some liberal woman fighting to get an abortion on the unborn baby of an illegal.

Say what?

Now we have to pay for these people’s abortions?

Rosie O’Donnell promised to pay a million bucks to Senator Collins and Jeff Flake for voting against the tax bill.

When will that ball of ugly womanhood move to Ireland like she promised when Trump got elected?

The GAY Priest and Tax Bill Passes

---

He announces he’s gay at mass and the parishioners give him a standing ovation?

Priests are supposed to be celebate. What difference does it make whether hetero or homo?

This guy should be thrown out of his profession.

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/12/20/catholic-priest-comes-out-as-gay-during-his-homily-and-parishioners-give-him-a-standing-ovation

---

They finally got the new tax bill passed and I am still quite happy.

On that new standard deduction alone I will be able to take more from my 401K-which I worked and saved for all my life-than I could before.

Because no matter how stupid the Democrats sound, I, ME, MYSELF AND I, are not one of the wealthy people robbing the poor.

I am a normal woman entering her elder years with a modest amount of savings. Plenty of folks like me will benefit.

Ignore the hysterics of Nancy Pelose (who I played with in my childhood, ask me about it someday) and Chuck Schumer.

UN mad at Jerusalem…..Trump is mad at U.N. Stock market rises and I’m getting rich!

---

Paul Krugman, that lying writer for the NY Times predicted that should Donald Trump be elected the stock market will drop like a rock.

So he lies and got a bogus Nobel prize in economics. I have a 401K and so far it has risen by some $13,000!!! PAUL KRUGMAN GO TO HELL PLEASE!!!!

Stock market expected to reach $25K by end of this year.

The silly UN, which has never done anything without the US leading and paying, voted to smack America’s fingers for daring to move its embassy to the capital of Israel, as deemed by Israel.

Bunch of silly Muslims with no brains, brawn or courage.

And Nikki Hayley, our Ambassadress to the UN, is telling them like it is!

It’s Merry Christmas for taxpayers.

---

I will be posting next week because politics never stop.

Tax bill is passed, government is funded.

What could go wrong?

[Bernard]

Merry Christmas to all.

[Fishtalk]

I have noticed that Pugmama and I love it.

It’s what leaders do. They LEAD!

It was Trump that started the Merry Christmas thing again as we’d all been made to feel guilty for saying it.

Now I still kind of hesitate but before I know it, the store clerk, the guy at the gas station, the kid across the street, they smile and say Merry Christmas and I feel invigorated.

[mazda77]

So, even he spiny lobsters are wearing Santa hats? LOL!

God’s blessings and renewed fortunes for all our friends in the Keys.

[shalom aleichem]

Thanks for the thread A.B. I’m so glad Trump kept his promise to name Jerusalem as official capital of Israel. It was the will of the American people, also a huge majority of Congress in 1995, and promised by each succeeding President. But it also exposed the depth of hatred for USA and Israel in the vipers pit known as the United Nations (sic). Trump has them thinking. Either get on board or go away. He and Nikki are stars.

To Hell with FBI. Trump should let the process work on the scoundrels, and keep his yap shut just this once.

[Deplorable American1776]

Merry Christmas all...nobody is on Face The Nation? Ben Cardboard is on FNS. He is about as smart as a cardboard box and maybe the box is smarter - I know the box is more useful!! 😀

[Alas Babylon!]

Honestly I’m not watching any of this crap this morning.

Every network is so biasedly anti-Trump it is actually amusing.

I mean, it reminds me of a Monty Python skit of Orwell’s 1984, focused on the 2 minutes of hate of Emmanuel Goldstein.

Can the driveby’s get any more absurd?

I think the real answer is to turn ‘em off! Don’t watch. Stuck in an airport—don’t listen, watch, or notice. Don’t buy their books, papers or magazines.

More importantly, ridicule them!

Make jokes about how stupid they are, how biased, how ridiculous.

Call them names and crybabies. Applaud Trump when he tweets about them.
