America wouldn't have been dismantled and forever destroyed if Hillary had been elected.

Not sure I agree with that.  Obama set a dangerous precedent with his use of executive orders to make changes to agency rules and I believe Hillary would have accelerated it...in fact, I expect the next Democrat president to do it more than Obama did.  The issue is that whatever changes are made become the rule of law until they are later changed (presumably under a different president).  Obama could have ordered the ATF to deem any semi-automatic rifle capable of holding more than 5 rounds to be a military weapon and that would have started a chain of events that would have resulted in the rule of law outlawing nearly every hunting rifle.  The order would have been implemented through the administrative rules making process and eventually turned into a rule.  The only recourse of this is for the Congress to countermand the president's directive or a legal challenge in a left slanted legal system.

Personally I believe that sometime in the next 20-30 years Congress will have to revoke the power of agencies to make their own rules, exactly because of how Obama used executive orders to do that.  But will that really get better when Congress has to pass laws to change agency rules?  The Administrative Procedures Act was enacted because Congress could not keep up with the pace of changes that needed to be made in 1946, what hope do they have of doing it now?

Your argument is that Trump is fighting the good fight and everyone else is just standing in his way? I hope you can recognize that some, and certainly not all, of the problems inside the White House are Trump's own doing through his tweets, his changing statements on subjects, etc.

That is not my argument at all.  Trump is a pompous asshole that does bring a lot of shit down on himself.  But he also has a good idea of how to improve our economy and our national security, and he is not afraid to stand up to adversaries, and he is not afraid to negotiate.  But because the Democrats don't like his personality they are unwilling to allow him to accomplish anything whether it is good for the country or not.  That may be current day politics, but is sucks.  It hasn't always been like that.  Even the framers of the Constitution negotiated and compromised and came away stronger than they were.  Dems won't allow that to happen today.

Businesses just pass through taxes to the consumer anyway.  I have no problem when a business legally avoids more taxes.  I do have a problem when a corporation promotes itself as a Social Justice crusader, like Starbucks, Amazon, and all the Silicon Valley tech companies then abuse their employees, and be hypocrites like most liberal/progressives. 

It is always do as I say, not as I do.

There are always TWO kinds of democrats.

ONE: The crazy as a bedbug, stupid as a pet rock (like the perfessor), always lecturing people but never actually doing anything because that requires more than virtue signaling.

TWO: The ones who live off the tax code, avoiding taxes by setting up dummy corporations, family 'charitable' foundations and / or pretending to be all in on the fake mmgw scam, then buying multi-million dollar beach front homes, right where they claimed the rising tide would wipe out millions of people and living in energy sucking houses that use many times the electricity of any normal home and they always ride in private jets that spew fluorocarbons into the atmosphere at very high levels.

They're ALWAYS lying, always hypocrites and always living off the backs of the taxpayer just like the welfare queens and their worthless cycle of dependency.

Two guys in my neighborhood just bought new Ford trucks. One told me the dealer said 85% of his sales are trucks. Personally, I feel encouraged about our country when people, especially men, buy trucks. The spindly man-bun gammas in their Priuses creep me out.

Go after me, libs! I don't care!

Well they kind of did, but the School District, FBI, and Local Police CHOSE to ignore all of it.  This is willful negligence on their part, and there should be prosecutions, firings, and jail time.  In addition, the Local Police also CHOSE not to enter the building when they knew shooting were taking place.

IIRC the mayor specifically ordered the pile of dog shit sheriff to avoid arrests of high school kids to avoid the bad publicity.

Typical democrat bullshit that nobody wants to address.

If only they had spent that much time on the kid that did shoot up the school.

Pilot Zone / Re: Southwest 1380

I had just delivered a diatribe to my lady students that more them should become pilots (only 6% of pilots are female).  They're all sharp as tacks, and I think they'll all do really well, so they should address this.

Lo and behold, the pilot with nerves of steel who landed the crippled airliner was a woman.

It doesn't take nerves of steel to land a twin OEI. The decompression, except for the one unfortunate victim, was almost incidental since the flight wouldn't have continued to the destination anyway. The descent was almost leisurely. The PIC being female added nor subtracted anything material and was hardly "heroic." That's what they are trained to do.

That being said, she is certainly a role model for young females (I think the word "women" may trigger someone.)

Boo hoo. Sounds like people who move next to an airport and complain about the noise. They can live elsewhere if representation in
Congress is so important.

If they cared about representation, they would promote getting absorbed by Maryland or Virginia.

What they want is to have that tiny 64 square miles have two senators to disproportionately sway the US Senate to the democrats.

Answer:  no.

The idea that a record low unemployment number
coupled with reduced dependence on social WellCare, stock market gains that wiped out the obama endused recession, serious tax cuts, reduced federal employees (parasites) and tariff relief is ineffective to progressive snowflake pilots...

I am starting to hate Silicon Valley.  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, MSN, Google, Yahoo, and the rest of these Far Left activists.  Zuckerberg admitted their bias, and yes they did help Obama, and that was OK to the Media, of course.  Morons.

Racist!

Make no mistake, what we are witnessing is the middle phase of a fucking coup d'etat, of, by and for the deep state.

Imagine if Hillary and her team, or Barack Hussein O' had been faced with even a fraction of this level of actual scrutiny/pursuit?

I literally can't think about it because of what this means for our country and by default the rest of the world.

The double standard is so glaring it puts to rest any thought that the political divide in this country can be healed, they have come out and finally stated it openly, this is about the eradication of the opposition to the Left - Orwell's darkest imagination never approached what we are witnessing right now.

Your in laws are just poor losers, and the grapes taste sour to them.  If Hillary had won the Electoral College, and thus the Presidency, and Trump the Popular Vote, they would be extolling the virtues of our system that's been in place, and worked for hundreds of years. 

They can make up excuses all they want, but what they are advocating is DEMOCRAT MOB RULE due to the urbanization of America.  The huge metro areas (cities, and suburbs) across the nation are solidly BLUE now.  They control entire states like CA, NY, NJ, MD, IL, MA, CT, RI, PA, etc.  It is a disturbing trend, and could mean the end of the two party system in the U.S. 

The fact that Trump was elected, and many Governors, and State legislators are Republican shows the resiliency of those voters outside of metro areas.  But, I fear it can not be sustained.   

 The progressives are tweaking and perfecting their "work around" of the electoral college.  They just weaponize various government agencies with ideological appointees that can't be fired, use the resources of the DoJ and the FBI for campaign opposition research, and for other government officials, such as SC justices and such that don't tow their line and do what they're told, they remind them about the files they have on them and how unfortunate it would be if those files were "leaked" to their MSM.

Our country is so screwed and so over at this point. The Democrats will do anything to take or keep power from the Republicans.  I heard that the CEO of Twitter has stated that the Republican party needs to be done away with.

Let's go back to when Hillary was questioned, not under oath about her email problem.  Whoever it was (sorry don't remember) that was with Hillary was allowed to claim she was her attorney (even though she wasn't) and was given immunity and was able to use attorney client privilege.

Also, remember Mueller was tasked with looking into collusion, which is not a crime.  Since when did we start looking into non-criminal activity in hopes of finding criminal activity?

The U.S. of A. that we thought we knew no longer exists and will never exist again.  The bureaucracies have been well infiltrated over the last eight years and the deep state will no longer allow a Republican to lead this country short of a true revolution.

You concept was how our nation was intended to operate from the beginning. Even the name chosen represents that we are to be a group of states, which share attributes about liberty, and national defense. If one looks at the actual power delegated to the prez, they are surprisingly thin. Any reading of the Declaration of Ind will give clear evidence that they wanted no part of a king, or oligarch. The fed guv is out of control, and the powers assumed by the pres are all out of proportion to what was intended.

As for the senators, we should never have gone to popular election. I consider the upper chamber of the congress to be a deliberative body. Charged with seeing that the nation retain it's individualism and answer to the people of their own state. Appointment by the governors, or by the state legislature was the right thing to do. Moving anything toward democracy is a mistake.

As for the electoral college system, the way it's set up now is to prevent large states from having too big a democratic sway in the process. Frankly, I consider the needs of Wyoming to be nearly as important as the needs of CA. If the political landscape were switched from R to D in WY, I would still think the same way.
