Well like I said, I sent him a proposal, including a theme song which I had written a few years ago for a different purpose, but seems now to be coincidentally applicable. The odds of getting noticed? I don’t know. But unlike this WWE spectacle that he’s carrying out now, my scenario actually has heroes.
Yep. I’m taking Trump on faith because I know with 100% certainty that the bought and paid for career politicians will never stop the invasion and unfair trade. As Sen. Sessions said when he endorsed Trump: They’ve had 30 years to do it and have not. I think 30 years is enough. Don’t you?
He doesn’t give me the impression that he is open to suggestion let alone steering. the gossamer-thin skin that leads to the nonstop ugly ad hominems. that doesn’t give one a feeling of stability. OPENING UP the libel laws? what’s that? how does one open up a law? Judges signing laws, as he claimed alito signed along with his sister? he is just ignorant and arrogant, and yet people are banking on him being principled with no track record of such to point to, to back it up.
Do you honestly think that these issues don’t have the attention of the leaders in Washington now?
Single issue voting is usually a really bad idea. Single issue voting for an unprincipled egomaniac even more so.
i have no faith in trump. none.
Imagine how a woman who has lost a late term baby would feel with that statement - by Richard's standards that women never lost a baby - it didn't exist
A+++ you know i just recently became aware that she is ann Richards, former gov of TX, daughter.
You’re missing the forest for the trees, ma’am.
To be fair, he has held some conservative positions for well over 10 months now.
but yet there are those proaborts who mourn miscarriages, so they have a malleable definition of when life begins, it varies depending on whether the baby is wanted or not.
Our MSM loves to calumniate to advance political correctness.
That is rare in my experience. Perhaps there is some attention depravity in her past that has driven her ambition to be noticed by outlandish appearance. Or she is another Alice Cooper; a competent and successful performer who is quite possibly the inventor of the Goth look. We see it in other artists who are trend setters. Does she have a night club act?
I, like you, don’t get it.
This is something that women often don’t grasp. Real guys gotta fight. It’s in their Y chromosome.
Even if there is nothing good for them to fight for, they’ve still gotta fight.
Trump did that for years — as WWE character.
Get him out of that rut and now we have promise again.
and you, sir, i feel may be naïve to think he is susceptible to being steered in a direction you want him to go. i do enjoy our civil discourse despite disagreeing, and lament its lack on the majority of FR threads.
A+++ they do indeed.
Today would have been my dads 21st birthday.
You aren’t a guy. You don’t know how guys think. I in turn probably couldn’t figure out how to influence a woman as well as you could.
I’m a lawyer, and i appear in front of men and women and have to influence both, irrespective of gender. I do not know the slightest thing about WRASSLING though! LOL! other than my grandmas used to watch it when i was little!
i wish Bernie would be able to take her right down to the wire and give her the scare of her life.
