That's right in there with shooting yourself in the foot to prove you'll use the gun.
Fox...The Kelly File
Yep. There's a lot of that going around.
You see similar behaviour when someone disses someone's 'team'.
If they can't separate themselves from the candidate, their emotional attachment is that severe, it reeks of the same thing that got us (and has kept us) in the current mess.
A lot of people are livid at the GOP, NRO, Kelly/FOX. It’s early, but my money is on they blew it, BIG TIME!
Okay, technically you are correct.. We’ll still have the right. We won’t have the ability to exercise that right.
I suggest you do some self reflection about smartness.

Trump may surprise us. I, along with many, believe that Trump’s visceral core beliefs have been shallow and “flexible” throughout his business-focused life.
His rhetoric since announcing has been pretty solid. I think it’s a combination of two things: (1) He’s looked away from “strictly business” and noticed that his grandchildren will not be growing up in the America that he knew. That scares him because he does love America. (2) With that in mind, it seems that he’s sought counsel from true conservatives, e.g., Jeff Sessions, etc., to school him in the best ways to save the country. He’s not stupid; he’s receptive to taking good advice.
People can change. If he’s consulting the right people now, he can consult the right people if/when SCOTUS issues arise. If his goal is to make America great again, obviously he’s lined up the right go-to people for advice and direction.
I trust none of them to do the right thing. Trump has made some bad decisions in life that have harmed his business. Cruz has made some bad decisions (not “conservative”) in the Senate that have harmed ALL of us.

LOL!
The 5-4 decision I was referring to said the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right.
If it had gone the other way it would have been ruled a collective right. Not good if that happens.
Listen to how they describe and talk about the candidates. They smile laugh and giggle at the chaos. “This will be fun. It's going to be interesting, will give us a lot to talk about.”
It is so revealing about the media. They love chaos. They feed on chaos. When things run smoothly, they have nothing to say, and we don't tune in.
I love it when Trump says, “The media are bad guys, really bad. You don't know how bad.”
I know how to cure that. Call the angry ones stupid, not conservative, and otherwise insult them. I've done this in real life, and it really brings them out of their emotional state, and pulls them to my side.
Carpe Scrotum, their hearts and minds will follow.
Just dayum! Got to get that on tee shirts. Yours?
My wife came downstairs this morning and asked what I was responding to and I said “things like that Megynn b!tch’s horsesh!t”....
We launched into a discussion of her import and impartiality. I told my wife “she’s a straight-up opportunistic ho.” Wifey asked why.
I said “here’s why” and googled Megyn and GQ images. And with the images that popped up I said “Here’s her credentials, that’s her bona fides.”
She went back upstairs laughing saying “I really never saw that.”
Well, for one, I don't.
The ravings of many of his supporters are on an emotional level because he has slapped the right faces and stepped on the right toes, for the most part.
If you don't think that he has spent plenty on marketing studies targeting the right things to say, the right people to gig, and the way to make the deal, you're naive. He has all that at his disposal and plenty of experience at it, otherwise he wouldn't be the deal maker he is.
However, that is already a giveaway. Making the deal with big corn in Iowa is a good peek at what is down the line. Saying the EPA could require more ethanol just means he isn't getting rid of the EPA, an agency that needs to go or be sharply curtailed. Saying we 'need' ethanol to avoid foreign oil is bogus, too. We passed Saudi Arabia in oil production despite the hostile actions of our own president and his minions--imagine what we could do with the Government even neutral and fair, not even behind the effort. We have the oil, but when we make deals with Iran that undercut the price of our crude oil and imported oil (from Canada, where we get the most), stop pipelines, etc. maybe ethanol seems like a good idea. It's crap for fuel, especially for engines that were not designed to run on it, and does not produce the MPG non-ethanol gasoline does.
But Trump has cut the deal with Big Corn, a taxpayer subsidized, government required industry, and already sold out every driver in the US, before a single vote has been cast.
Is that what you want to vote for? Apparently everything is on the table to make the deal.
I would rather be counted with a minority, if that is the case, who wants someone with principles. Character counts, not just stepping on the right toes.
Sure, we’ll have the ability. We might have to break some laws to do so if it comes to that. But then, resistance to authority was what got this country started, over taxation, and ultimately the seizure of arms.
What set this lady off was a discussion on the Kelly File (Fox), about who could be considered to be a “conservative”, and why The Donald couldn’t fit that definition.
She is, by nature, a “One America News Network” viewer, and the tuning in to Fox was a mistake. Liz Wheeler was not on yet, and Graham Ledger was finished with his hour.
I don’t want it to have to come to that.
