Okay. Thanks for you point of view.

Cat got your tongue?

[RginTN]

saw a bit of SNL “news”. The black guy was calling Trump racist. Then showed pictures of Trump with various Black celebs and implied those Blacks aren’t good enough cause no one else would want to be around them. Now thats a racist statement. He knows the minds of Black people?

SNL isn’t funny. Trump should have never appeared on it.

People, as we heard earlier in the program, are scared about terrorism. Secondly, there has been a pent-up, silent frustration about political correctness. So anybody who says something politically completely incorrect, and properly incorrect, for some people, that’s like a liberation. It’s, finally, somebody’s saying the truth.

In other words, David, he's addressing a legitimate issue and he's telling the truth.

But he's not supposed to do that...???

[Beer30]

Truth is hard.

[faithhopecharity]

Geee, how horrible!
Let’s make ourselves more popular in Krapistan!!!

But, how to do it?
Obama gives them billions and billions of dollars.
Obama gives them tons and tons of wonderful weapons they can use against us.
Obama gives them military training, too.
Obama uses our USAF and USN to protect rheir nuclear bomb-making factories (also their ICBM factories so they will be able to deliver their nukes to America easier).
Obama gives speeches all the time about how wonderful is Allah, Islam, and Mohammad. And, all about the terrriffic contributions Moslems have made to America throughout our history.
Obama brings their young military-aged men to America, provides them all kinds of special relocation and welfare assistance enabling them to better spy out our “soft targets” for Allah.
Obama has crippled our military defenses.
Obama has crippled our border and immigration services.
Obama is now bringing them into cities, towns, and villages from Sea to Shining Sea, in great big unmarked vehicles.
All of the above with our generous American taxpayers’ money.
Obama has Christianity and Jewish faith under siege in America and insofar as he’s able, around the world. Where he can’t directly undermine the Church, he gives more of his wonderful speeches against her and her teachings (while continuing to extol Islam as so beautiful and terrriffic).
And, every time the great Warriors of Allah carry out another of their brave, “audacious” terror attacks against us, Obama tries to cover it up as just a “workplace incident” or maybe what, minor spat at the quilting bee?

Gee, come to think on it.....what more could we possibly do for the great warriors of Allah ... to make ourselves even better liked?

OH I got it, let’s cancel our elections and leave Obama in our White House “for life!”

He can’t really criticize hm sartorially, so he goes after this penny ante stuff.

I don’t know how to copy and paste a tweet, but DT just called out the Saudis for not taking any Syrian refugees.

That’s kind of what I figured.

I can’t wait either!

[blackdog]

What possible harm can he inflict on the rest of the world that Obama hasn't? Possibly cut funding for the study of Indonesian transgendered sexually transmitted diseases among youth which leave the victim's ears big as handlebars from hang-on rodeo rumping?

Yeah............I guess some harm is good in a Dickens sort of way?

[wardaddy]

We have posters here of similar mindset they just hold it back

[Jim Noble]

But what about his pants (the crease, specifically)?

[MarkL]

Was this bonehead Brooks one of the masses of leftist writers who claimed that electing Obama would make the world, and especially the muslim world, love the USA again?

[abclily]

David Brooks? THE David Brooks who can’t remember which side of the fence he is on? That David Brooks?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

For those who have relatives abroad, what becomes clear is that what’s changed is the trust and respect other nations had for our prosperity, opportunity, innovation and advancements, and our freedom. They see us as declining, because we are - and people like Brooks are part of the reason for this decline.

"And yet some of them are old enough to vote! Scary!"

The progressive stranglehold on education has produced exactly the type of citizenry it was intended to.

There can be no voting our way out of the mess we find ourselves in.

[Sacajaweau]

Brooks and Shield have been saying Trump is a loser from Day one. They really hate him and it shows.

[IronJack]

Barack Obama’s abject cowardice, incompetence, and corruption have done far worse.

"I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant," Brooks says, "and I'm thinking, a) he's going to be president and b) he'll be a very good president."

I said it. About Hussein.
