1) CIA-fronts of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo = Good
-—NOT!
Note the global nature of BHO’s remarks and that BHO personifies how those out of government, who want to use them to work against the elected administration, e.g., through intel, censorship, politically trending and promulgation, antagonisms toward conservatives, Christians, etc.
2) “[N]ot okay to deny the underlying science.” The arrests will begin soon.
3) Bread and circuses, bread and circuses!
4) “common sense” (See #2.)
[”No scandal can embarrass us”]
5) Corrupt Government employees (I know, I repeat myself) continue to pressure us [BHO, Deep State] for higher pay-offs.
The FBI and Justice dept may be working 80 hours a week, but the current scandal shows us what they are really doing.
Hussein went on plenty of vacations. And I seriously doubt if he ever put in a 40 hour work week, let alone an 80 hour one.
He was just the Public Relations face for the shadowy cabal of anti-Americans who ran the White House for eight years.
#5 - these morons who never worked a real job in their life think that government workers work as hard as private.
I’ve worked on both sides and I KNOW that is not true. The government jobs I’ve had to do were with some of the laziest, most back-stabbing, inconsiderate fools I’ve ever met. That is why I don’t want them running ANYTHING let alone health care.
But government elitists like him don’t know that.
Al Gore was another one- he actually said once that calling something “Good enough for government work” was a sign of quality- Who ever told him that must have been laughing their asses off!!!
“Good enough for government work” means any old piece of crap you can stuff into a box and ship- the government will pay for.
Here’s another stunner- there is no way to accept refunds and return crap, in the government.
We once bought a piece of software for $5000. The salesman lied his ass off, and when we got it, we found it did not do anything we needed. THEY KEPT IT! Why? because there is NO WAY TO PROCESS RETURNS.
jOkeass was not embarrassed by The New Black Panthers!
A conversation with Obama...
Me: Hello.
Obama: Um, uh, uh, um, eh eh eh
Me: so what did you want to talk about?
Obama: Um, uh, um, uh, ah, uh and uh, um
And um, uh, uh so on and so on...
Use of the US Military for a Weaponized Political Benefit (21:04)
Falsified NTSB Investigation Frames Pratt & Whitney Canada (39:28)
Yeah those are the ones I was talking about.
//// Scandals?
• Benghazi
• Lois Lerner
• Chokepoint
• Fast & Furious
• Uranium One
• Bundy standoff
That’s just off the top of my head. /////
The key weasel word was “embarrassed.” Nothing EMBARRASSED them . . . for obvious reasons, NOTHING ever embarrasses them.
The ‘Schroooom’ user has lost all his brain cells.
The people who buy this crap will never know the results of their stupidity. But, their progeny will feel vindicated when the ice over Manhattan is only 3/4 mile thick instead of a mile.
Windmills will not work when ice reaches the blades.
Nothing this maggot could say would impress me.
If nobody knows what he said, he can’t be challenged or criticized, and can claim that he had 100% approval in the speech. Kind of like Saddam Hussein always managed to get near 100% of the votes in Iraqi elections; the comparison is apt.
Reference Bump
"Under the laws that apply at the time" is an important caveat. We should do away with birthright citizenship and put an end to anchor babies and maternity tourism. If Maria slips across the border to deliver her baby in San Diego, fine, but the kid should remain Mexican, not American.
An ancient history detour. Cruz may be a sharp academic debater, but he missed a winning response when Trump raised the citizenship issue in the debates. Cruz made the intellectual's mistake of actually answering the question asked, which has never been the right way to debate someone like Trump, who is not tied to logical argument and who speaks elliptically. The way to answer a showman is with a better story.
When Trump raised the citizenship question, Cruz should have laughed and, with a big grin on this face, said: "Donald, before answering that, and just for the record, my family has been in this country a lot longer than yours." You can wordsmith it from there, but the fact is that Trump's mother was an immigrant, as was Cruz's father. But both of Trump's paternal grandparents were born in Germany, so Trump is only a second generation American on his dad's side. Cruz's maternal forbearers were a mix of mostly Irish and Italians coming over in the mid 19th century, but one strand of Cruz's family runs back in America at least to the early 18th century. Cruz should have had some Scots Irish frontier folklore at his fingertips.
From the standpoint of the rhetorical autopsy, Cruz spent too much time rooting his story in his dad's experience. This made sense in terms of the fight for freedom stump speech that was his bread and butter in the primaries. He would have been well served, however, to summon up other ghosts as well. Had I been advising him, I'd have suggested that he make a joke about how Trump would look good about as good in lederhosen or a kilt as he himself would look in a toga, so thank God we're all Americans. Or about how he'd spot Trump haggis and weinerschnitzel while Cruz could lay claim to pizza, fajitas and leprechauns. Conclude by saying, "But mostly I'm glad that we're Republicans so we don't have to play tribal identity politics like the Democrats. We're all Americans." Repeat it once in Spanish and then, "But bottom line, to answer your question, some of my ancestors were in this country 300 years ago, Donald. You're the newcomer on this stage."
Granted, this would not have directly answered the point Trump was making, but Trump wouldn't have known what hit him. I don't imagine that Cruz would challenge Trump for the 2020 nomination, but if he did, I hope he could find an ancestor who was with Washington at Valley Forge ... in response to your lurking citizenship question. His family has been here long enough for that.
Yep.
How bad must a president be for a conservative FReeper like myself to say..."Ya know, back in 2008, Hillary might have been a better choice, at least on the Democrat side...."
One is a natural born citizen because ones comes by that citizenship naturally, no law is needed.
Naturally one could only be an American citizen when one is born here of citizen parents.
When one has a foreign national parent or parents one acquires other nationalities and is no longer naturally an American.
The purpose of the natural born citizen requirement was to insulate the office from any foreign influence, John Jay said so in a letter to George Washington that still exists.
Children of foreign nationals born with divided nationalities, loyalties and allegiances were exactly who the founders were excluding.
