From academe, to churches, media and our military, I’m not aware of a single major institution that the rats haven’t soiled.

“Some of her fellow evildoers much higher up the food chain could become tempted to involve her in their next op.”

Trump should order Secret Service protection for her.

I am black. My brother is black. When I criticized Barack Obama in 2008, he called that “racist”.

That sort of silliness used to be fodder for late-night comedy.

Now?

Satire is dead.

[Windflier]

My apologies, but has your brother ever really thought about that statement?

Probably not. He told me recently that Trump is going to kill my children.

Fist fights replacing political debate? Though Firing Line is remembered; seldom watched. Not much interest in politics those days and so little from which to choose. Nixon was a disappointment; Carter an even stronger disappointment. Politics became a dormant issue until the fact became obvious the d’rats were attempting to take control of everything held dear. Willie, OwlGore, BO’B, these are the faces seen when speaking of this party. Shrewd men who stop at nothing to get what they want. The republicans at last found a strong man and voice - yet they do their best to quieten him. President Reagan’s win gave hope that the tide had turned; only to be lost to an alley cat like BO’B. One fact: there will NEVER be another vote here to cast for a d’rat. Those days are long gone.

[Twotone]

I don’t think fist-fights would’ve replaced political debate. But the average Dim might’ve been encouraged to HAVE a debate if they realized people were only too ready to push back. We’ve let them push & push & push, while we kept conceding out of politeness. Now when we start to push back they respond with violence.

It’s probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

[Jacquerie]

The “long march through the institutions” is the term I was looking for. Thanks.

I’m Married to a Latina. Her Mother and one of her Sisters were born in Mexico City. Her Family lived in Mexico until she was six years old.

My Wife hates when People assume she speaks Spanish (which she does) just because of how she looks. Really pisses her off.

She also loves the TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates I have on my Car, even though she is getting concerned that an unhinged Leftist will physically attack me because of it.

My older Brother never cared about Politics. After talking to me over the years he is hopelessly Conservative.

There is hope... LOL

[dfwgator]

My wife was born in Cuba, she’s more Pro-Trump than I am.

"It’s probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better."

Fear you are correct in that statement.
'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Obviously your Wife lived the dream and knows the reality.

[dfwgator]

That’s what the media doesn’t want to say, that the folks most opposed to illegal immigration are legal immigrants who followed the rules.

[right way right]

I will never forget what Oama did under the cover of “darkness”.
Never again shall we elect another race mongering Marxist scumbag.
Civil war shall happen first.

[right way right]

I meant uncivil war.

[Windflier]

There is hope...

I don't know... My libtard brother is sixty two. Our dear departed dad was 86 when he cast his last vote.....for Hillary.

Some folks are just hopelessly lost.

[Kickass Conservative]

My Father cast his last Vote for Trump in 2016 right before he passed away at age 93.

Some people have no use for Facts and Logic. They cannot be helped when suffering from willful Ignorance.

I will continue to “Hope” that People can “Change” my FRiend.

Not that hopey dopey “Change” though. LOL

[Windflier]

I will continue to “Hope” that People can “Change” my FRiend.

Me too. I'm an incorrigible optimist.

[lepton]

That roughly matches with Chris Matthews.

During the late Clinton era, he was an intellectually honest old-school liberal. When Bush was elected, he went solidly towards never allowing himself to say anything which might keep a Democrat from the Presidency.
