Spin Zone / Re: Boy Scouts, as seen by Mike Rowe
« on: December 17, 2018, 10:40:10 AM »You guys always seem to want markets to solve these things until its something you like. If the Boy Scouts can't recruit scouts maybe its time for them to step aside and someone else will come along who can.The “market” doesn’t include social justice warriors suing the organization in court to admit gay scout leaders, or SJWs pressuring this group to accept members that depart from its mission. That was the beginning of the end.
Said from someone who was never a scout (paramilitary organizations always gave me to the creeps). Then again, perhaps if I was a scout I'd be a better man. Anything is possible.
Boy Scouts made me a better man. I learned outdoor and leadership skills otherwise not available to most urban/suburban boys. Our Scout Leader was ex-Navy, so while I never learned Morse code which would have been helpful as a pilot who still uses VORs, I had a chance to learn semaphore, which would have been helpful if I ever needed to use ship-to-ship wartime communications.

From 2008 to 2016 we had a president who, on a regular and continuous basis, apologized to the world for the United States. He self-immolation performed In front of dictators and despots was a slap in the face to everyone who believes in American greatness. He apologized for our slavery even though 600,000 men died to defeat it. He apologized for our “colonization” even though we are the only country in the history of the world who never kept conquered foes’ lands, and in fact worked to rebuild them. He diminished American greatness by equating us to other countries who think they are great, meaning we are not that great and unique.
Obama was a cum stain on the world stage, and we were his sheets. He disgusted me ever since his first anti-America speech abroad even before he took office.
MAGA was a war cry to return America to its greatness in an unapologetic and proud way.

« on: December 16, 2018, 07:20:21 AM »Thanks for sharing, this was a good read. The problem and solution is more complex than what usually gets discussed. I like that he notes that he doesn't want to see girls in Boy Scouts, but bringing boys and girls together is one potential solution to the problem, not adding to the problem.In what distorted world do you think bringing boys and girls together as being a “potential solution”? Solution to what?
If you’re talking about Boy Scouts, letting girls in has literally destroyed it. Nice work.
Flynn nailed it. Everything liberals touch get destroyed.

« on: December 14, 2018, 02:17:42 PM »I think Cohen's disbarment is a foregone conclusion. If the felony conviction isn't enough, New York is probably going to disbar him because he worked for Trump.But they doesn’t invalidate the confidentiality rules, does it?

Spin Zone / Cohen and Attorney-Client Privilege
« on: December 14, 2018, 01:19:02 PM »
Legal Beagles and others who stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night:
Can Trump sue Cohen for breach of privilege for opening up his yap about things he’s talking about in public? I’m not talking about things he was compelled to disclose in court, but for what he is saying now after pleading guilty.

Spin Zone / Re: Dems Change Rules to Make It Easier to Raise Taxes
« on: December 13, 2018, 11:46:50 AM »https://www.atr.org/dems-change-rules-make-it-easier-raise-taxesI’m not quite sure this really makes any difference and I don’t understand the big deal. Does this just mean they now only need a majority rule for a tax increase to come out of Committee? The House has always been majority rule for its floor votes.

Spin Zone / Re: My Christmas Plan
« on: December 13, 2018, 08:41:12 AM »Yay, VSGPDJT cancels the traditional Christmas party with the press!I saw that too. Friggin’ AWESOME. I love this guy for not agreeing to be a piñata like his past three GOP predecessors.
Let’s see, they lie about you, interrupt you, sue you, whine about you, twist headlines and screen banners to mislead people about you, and make fun of you while showing blatant political bias. They refuse to publish any but the least flattering photos of you, make fun of your wife and refuse to put photographs of her on their covers whilst plastering those same covers with photos of the last President’s wife. Hmm.
I’m okay with his not wanting to pretend to be having a gala evening with them. Would be great if he publicly announced that the money that would have been spent on the gala charade will go instead to charities in DC to help brighten Christmas for the less fortunate.

« on: December 13, 2018, 08:37:31 AM »The US has honest to goodness gosh grievances against the Chinese that were not addressed by the Short Fingered Vulgarian's Processor. I do think the Mango Mussolini is going about it all wrong, though. I think the thing to do with the Chinese was to use back channels and fairly private communications to get the point across. His brazen diplomacy by Twitter has caused Xi Jinping to loose face, and the Chinese are all about face. He can't negotiate, he'll loose that much more face. He has little choice but to retaliate, or he'll appear weak. But in retaliating he appears strong, and it gets good internal consumption, making him that much more popular.I’ve always wondered why America is supposed to give two shits whether or not a communist “leader” loses face, when you and your fellow socialists live for the day when you can get Trump and other Republicans to lose face. You could see the attempted set up with Chuck and Nancy in the Oval Office. They failed miserably, because they didn’t expect Trump to take responsibility for a partial government shutdown. But it is game on, 24/7, with the democrats.
Xi Jinping is ruler for life, which means the only way he's going to stop being ruler is if he dies. If he appears weak those who would like to supplant him are going to try and arrange just that, and he knows it. One needs to look no farther than Libya to see the fate of dictators who loose control of their fates, and no farther than Syria to see the lengths dictators will go to to keep from losing control. I think these sorts of autocrats needs to handled carefully, something for which a Secretary of State and fully functioning Department of State can be a big help. A pity Trump savaged the latter.
Fuck the shit horn dictators. Lose face, kill yourself, I couldn’t give two shits.
I’m SO tired of the US being told we must conform to some foreign cultural standards, when the same is not offered to us.
I’m glad Trump doesn’t give a shit either. He knows EXACTLY how to negotiate.

Or are you just making shit up to avoid the reality that your BFF's are among the crookedest people on planet earth?

Good for her. There are likely a lot of Catholic schools that would take her in a minute.
If I were in that town I would have a word with the school board.

« on: December 12, 2018, 04:31:34 PM »It’s nice to know China is being addressed as the formidable entity it is. I couldn’t help but picture a Dem presidential candidate debating Trump on all those points and trying to point out how going back to the Screw America and Capitulate on Everything approach would be better.Substitute “Wisconsin” for “America” and that’s what happened on Election Day. I guess record full employment and record economic successes was not enough for people who just wanted “change” in this purpose state.
Just hope Trump has time to make sure these policies become firm.
We cannot let our guard down. What happened yesterday means nothing to voters. Smh.
