Yawn.....Ken Cuccinelli, really. Give me a break. He may be right but (in my opinion) I don’t care what he says. He was such a Cruzbot during the election that when the voting was being done for Trumps nomination, Ken wanted to do (pull) something else and had a hissy fit on the floor and stormed off.....I used to like him and voted for him when he ran for Gov of Virginia (he ran a lousy campaign in my opinion)...and he lost to Terry McAwful and we have been paying for that ever since

I was thinking about a PFL - the Patriot Football League. Hire the patriotic players from the NFL and elsewhere and let them compete in an open market - see who survives.

>> McConnell is a liar.<<

And what’s worse, he’s a traitor to his party and to our country. With the possible exception of McCain, he and Ryan, in my view, are the most despicable characters EVER elected to the Congress of the United States. I hope I live long enough to celebrate their funerals.

McConnell is simply incompetent. Time swirls, making this aging Senator oblivious to his toothless leadership. Nothing done yet!! NOTHING Ditch Mitch!

McConnell is simply incompetent.

I have been increasingly impressed at how competent he is at maintaining, even augmenting, his power while accomplishing nothing except squeaking out elections wins.

Horrible condescending double-dealing scum.

Put the pressure on the House and Senate leaders. Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn ALL need to step aside.

Last graph of the article:He's been Leader since 2014. Three years wasted IMHO.

Turtle needs to go.

And we need term limits NOW! McConnell should have been gone by 1995 at the latest.

I did put this link in this thread...

However, Grassley is claiming that he will allow BLUESLIPS, which would give the Democrats a way to block some of the nonimations.

Use KEYWORD BLUESLIPS to find threads on this.

The establishment nightmare is happening and they are just now really starting to grasp the fact that votes obliterate large donor dollars. When trump is on the team you win, now every one in the country knows it. This is more significant than the Reagan revolution. We are witness to a singular moment in the history of civilization. Not since king St. Louis has such an powerful leader in this vein has the audacity to speak the truth..it is not something it’s somebody. Remember when sg. Louis did .... Oh hell I don’t know what he did but the fact he was a Christian king who led a saintly life. President Trump is not what most would in invsion as a saint... Neither was Paul both privileged but which one has stunningly rejected privileged status and thrown in with us Christians at the lions gate. Witnesses to history we are stuck it st. Paul I always more St Peter guy less preachy. enjoy bejng reminded that as a Christian american everyday we have three blessing of being born again. Thank you president trump. By the way most of the tax plan seems to suck but you have earned my trust so let’s give it go

Do the Right Thing

We need new leadership in Congress as it is THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

There is a serious problem in America. During Hurricane Katrina, some people used it as a chance to steal/loot. These people did the WRONG THING. So maybe it should be a focus to DO THE RIGHT THING.

We need to start DOING THE RIGHT THING.

There is the story on the BLUE BLOODS TV series of looting that occurred when Commissioner Reagan walked a beat. There was this one store that constantly overcharged for things. A woman with small child stole things she truly needed. If people are TRULY starving and need something, then stealing bread is actually a necessity.

Patrolman Frank Reagan thought about it, and allowed them to take the stuff. They TRULY needed it, and the store really was guilty of GOUGING its customers.

In a sense, the Pay it forward movement is another example of this.

If someone sees that someone needs help or leaves something by accident, it is something for someone to STEAL. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING.

I had elderly relative that was taken ill, and the ambulance crew took money out of his wallet. This is truly sad. America, please do the Right Thing!

TEAM TRUMP as part of MAGA or Make America Great Again could use this slogan.

ButIt needs to be something TEAM TRUMP approves of. Why? This needs to be promoted from the top. Some folks who lead our country really need to be taken to the woodshed.

There is a reason for this. Now we have KATRINA nonsense happening all over in Puerto Rico. There have been some instances of this in Florida. The hoarding of FEMA supplies on Puerto Rico for those who voted for corrupt politicians is an example of the WRONG THING TO DO.

In work, it is often that managers mess over employees for sexual favor. Asking impossible things of the employees in the hope they fail.

In my own life this is part of the reason I constantly changed jobs.

My first job out of college, Microdata Corp, the President Don Fuller lost his girlfriend to a consultant: Dick Pick.

The President tried to get back at the consultant but Microdata failed on a new product that was meant to revolutionize computers back in about the 1970s.

It failed, and the president laid off 50% of the engineering and consulting staff, and 40% of the rest of the company.

When I worked for GE, it was on a Dept of Defense project. People did not want it to succeed as the more time the project took, the more money GE made.

We had competition with another large TEAM - IBM/Raytheon. GE's goal on my project was to get 20% of the pie. The pie was a number in the billions of dollars.

I do not mean to digress, but the point is the awarding of this could affect the price of the stock and it did for the winner.

One of the managers I worked with figured IBM would win - GE is a real dark horse.

She speculated on IBM stock. Later she would be very angry at me for working so hard. Another manager was from LIBERAL Cornell, and was not much help on the project.

The Hardware Team were dedicated to getting this done. But they had some pretty tough stuff to do at this time.

I was in a position to push both the Hardware Team and Software Team as hard as possible.

I was the SUPPORT SOFTWARE person or in GE terms, the Support Software RI (Responsible Individual).

I pushed myself to the limit and felt that this would make me sick for whatever reason it was worth.

DO THE RIGHT THING!

The person who bet on IBM was in trouble because IBM stock apparently went down, and she was made at me.

Eventually, GE won 100% of the pie, and this increased GE stock significantly.

Doing the RIGHT THING SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE.

This needs to be fixed in America.

Former President Obama, in my mind, always DID THE WRONG THING, or most of the time, and especially in some areas where he violated the constitution with his actions.

The MOTTO of Do the Right Thing could be the motto of the TRUMP Admin.

Congress is certainly DOING THE wRONG THING. Senators retired but still keeping their senate seat for the power it gives them.

Senators BLOCKING THINGS TRULY needed for our country. Some of us would call that treason.

By Christopher Michael Hoss - October 15, 2017 - aka poster TOPHER.

My tag line is now changed because of this post to: America, please Do The Right Thing!

This is also a play on words because one opposite meaning of right is left as in LEFT WING POLITICS.

Did Cuccinelli run a bad campaign, or was he done in by the Libertarian spoiler? If he became apologetic, he was running a bad campaign.
