Trump's Bizarre Winning Formula

I respect your opinion, but to me it is different, and I wasn’t talking about the hood and Bloods and Crips. More like the original drive by’s as you think of them.....the real gangster days with cars with running boards and mobsters with Tommy’s spraying....

It may have a precise meaning for a specific period in time but in my overall life span it’s Everywhere, USA that gets screwed.

Sorry, we just differ.

The dimwits didn’t learn a ‘bitter lesson’ because they never learn a lesson ever.
Learning a lesson requires changing your tactics while nothing has changed.
They are rioting about made rage.
They are still making up the news ..attempting to make team Trump appear to be in kaos. Calling Bannon a white supremeist.
They learned nothing and doubtless ever will.

And even “high tech” is smoke and mirrors in an economy that is fundamentally wasteful because we want to pander to every nervous Nellie out there.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Something’s still different about the environment. People aren’t buying this balogna now.

My daughter and her husband just drove from my house to Portland Oregon. And they drove by a lot of America because they didn’t have time to stop (or care about it, really) because they had to be somewhere else. She asked me if I’d come out there. I told her I am never getting on another plane in my life - I’m done with it. I told here I’d look into what I could do by train.

“...in my overall life span it’s Everywhere, USA that gets screwed.”

Understood, and I know that’s what you mean when you use the term, ‘drive by’.

Just know that the phrase has a precise meaning that has nothing to do with how you’re using it.

[Gaffer]

Actually, I’ve been using it here for months and months and you’re the first one that has brought it up that I can recall.

[Windflier]

“Perhaps Drive-by Media is more like it.”

That’s Rush’s signature phrase. He uses it to indict the leftwing press for literally assassinating the right with lies, then driving away from the scene of the crime.

Just like the Crips, but not actually lethal.

[Windflier]

“Actually, I’ve been using it here for months and months...”

I know. Thought I’d finally take a moment to bring it up to you.

[Gaffer]

Okay....thanks....maybe I’ll call it drive thru......

[Kaslin]

Yes it is, and he is correct.

[Gaffer]

Yes.....when the “before times, in the long, long long ago....” happens, simple and ubiquitous is what will be more available and sustainable. :0)

“coastal corridor snobs” - I’m gonna steal that one - a very fitting description.

[EarlT357]

You associate it with gangster movies.”
No, not gangster movies - real gangsters, such as Bloods and Crips.
I went to high school in the town where those gangs were born, and lost more than one acquaintance to drive by shootings.
‘Drive by’ isn’t just a catch-all term. It has a precise meaning.

C’mon, guys! Get the spelling right! Its “GANGSTA” when talking about Crips and Bloods. Listen to more “NWA” rap!

And we have Ryan and McConell.

[Windflier]

My younger brother ran with the guys who founded the Crips. He joined the Marine Corps to avoid being ‘drafted’ into the gang.

[Windflier]

“...maybe I’ll call it drive thru.”

That might work. I’ve been using the term, ‘fly-over country’ for some years now, but most people associate that with rural America.

Nice wrap....points are well-made.

IMHO Hillary was so out of touch, she actually thought struggling middle-class Americans wanted to pay more taxes just so she could continue Obama’s flooding America w/ Third world parasites (AKA as Democrat voters).

Not once did Hillary acknowledge that the millions of Muslims she pledged to import were the same savages butchering “infidels” in Paris, London, Berlin, San Bernardino, Orlando and Manhattan.

The usual Hollyweird lefties are paranoid--- crowds of left-leaners could be fleeing to Canada...they fear under Trump they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.

It's gotten so bad, lefties may even have to drink (horrors) domestic beer, and munch heavily salted Lay's potato chips deep-fried in reused "cottonseed oil"....plagued by visions of slave labor on plantations haunting their leftist heads.

I just hope to God they wont have to watch Canadian reruns of (gasp) "Father Knows Best."

=====================================

Nevertheless, there are moments to savor.

.....the Center for Responsive Politics reports Clinton pocketed $22 million in contributions from the wealthy/liberal Hollyweird entertainment industry, compared to a mere $290,000 for Trump...

Take a look at the map of what Clinton won....the top 10 populations centers where most of the wealth, commerce and power is located.....and a couple of SW states that have a huge influx of Mexican immigrants.

Hillary lost the bulk of America.

Just goes to prove....the liberal rich talk only amongst themselves and their hired Mexican help.

SANCTUARY CITIES

[Liz]

THIS JUST IN: WXXM, the progressive talk radio station in Madison,
Wisconsin, has flipped formats...will play Christmas music.

Unfortunately, the uber-liberal city is now without a place to converse
about micro-aggressions, plot protest marches or swap quinoa recipes.

Too bad.

BTW, I hear the out-of-work Clinton types are planning a Jobs Festival,
hoping for jobs requiring post-graduate degrees in "Gender Identity,"
"Climate Change Kills" and "Men Are Scum."
