“...if the GOP did not have Trump under an impeachment threat if he fired Mueller.”

Is this true? Have Ryan and McConnell sunk that low? Yes.

[You should have seen it in 1980.

Remember GHWB’s “voodoo economics” crack?]

Well >>I<< certainly do. Which is amazing since I missed class that day. Simone told me about it. /inside joke

Back to being serious. And then what happened in 1981? /my tinfoil hat

[President George Bush, addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, Feb. 1, 1992:

It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance]

On line programs are great. And as you pointed out, there are also certificate options for honing one’s professional skills and knowledge that can impress employers.

There are loads of MBA programs out there. Make sure that they are accredited by either AACSB OR ACBSP. There can be subtle distinctions between on-line vs. on campus accreditation.

Your friend probably knows about this but its something that prospective students should not overlook.

Trump cannot remove the Swamp monsters, we have to do that.

***************

I see it as a joint project. Trump heads the executive branch of government and has the authority to remove ineffective and corrupt bureaucrats. We can’t do that; only he can.

Our job is to elect people who will support him in his efforts to drain the Swamp, not just in word but in deed. All that matters is demonstrable effort and results on their part. We have to remove the deadwood and those who serve the establishment instead of the people who elected them.

Allowing the enemy among you is to have already failed.

This is a war.

They intend to win.

Do you?

Why would there be a war? Is there a war in Europe? They are being systematically destroyed just as we are. The same methods apply in both cases. The Europeans haven’t risen up to do anything. Neither will we.

I fear you are more right than wrong.

And then there are the rumors they were friends with the family of John Hinckley Jr. I don’t know if that’s just tinfoil.

Never saw that before. Was it a signal to Hillary?

It wouldn’t surprise me.

There’s enough crossed paths there to put a fiction writer to shame.

If you saw "American Made" they pretty much went after Reagan with a very slight mention of GHWB and you had to pay real close attention where Bill Clinton is mentioned twice. I doubt most of the audience caught it. They cut his name in half and called him "Governor Clinton" (which works) and then he's called "Bill" on the phone by the state AG.

VDH always makes a lot of great points, but I don’t think divisions of today are geographic enough to trigger a war between the states.

Also, I think the divisions of today originate from the party whose entire political strategy is based on creating divisions - namely, the Democrat party.

Sure, there are plenty of RINO’s to blame as well, but they are mostly just cowards who succumb to Democrat blackmail: “Conform or be called a racist”.

The Democrat party has the almost unbeatable political strategy of “vote for me and I’ll give you other people’s money”. They also have entirely captured the media, Hollywood and academia which serve as their propaganda ministry.

So successful has been the Democrat Propaganda ministry, that hardly any truth is spoken publicly about anything, and college graduates have been deprived of their intellectual ability to question the politically correct doctrine.

And yet, the pundits, professors and celebrities who deliver the untruths are still afforded the same respect, credibility and authority as if they were speaking the truth!

I think the only hope for the Republic is to somehow knock the Left of its media perch - they have a virtual monopoly over all communication and education, they are pathological liars - and for the better part of a century, they have been whittling away at the foundations.

Obama? Or the severely irresponsible people who voted him in? I see him as more of a symptom than a disease.

It’s a Republic IF we can keep it.

Not ALL of both parties. I believe the majority of republican office holders and republican voters want the borders controlled. We do have some powerful open borders republicans to deal with but the dems are like 98 percent
