You call the voters “angry,” as if that somehow invalidates their critique. You made them angry with your lies. Your incompetence. Your betrayals. You did it.

Masterfully done! PINGing so that everyone can read it!

The Establishment and the media are in the containment mode. They are trying to isolate Trump and his “followers” as a one off cult or something.

“No, it’s bailing out Puerto Rico. A Democrat commonwealth squanders its money and comes looking to us for a handout, and that’s what Paul Ryan chooses to focus on. That’s his priority! Yeah, because for Republican voters, there’s nothing more important than spending our money to pay off big bondholders! And don’t insult our intelligence by claiming we won’t be paying for it – if the Puerto Ricans who spent like drunken Greeks aren’t paying for it, someone else is, and that someone else is always us.”

The bill specifically forbids use of federal dollars to pay down the Puerto Rico debt.

I am sure the Torys and King George III felt the same way about the nascent colonial upstart revolutionaries.

From Dictionary.com:

Wattle: “a fleshy lobe or appendage hanging down from the throat or chin of certain birds, as the domestic chicken or turkey.”

ROFL

The only thing that matters to the GOP establishment is keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.

I have to assume that at this point the GOPe is either deaf, dumb, blind or some combination of the three.

The ONLY way to “cure” them is to flush them out of office. They extort too much money from lobbyists under the existing system to EVER be cured.

VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE OUT EVERY INCUMBENT RINO.

The Establishment from both parties will never learn anything. They are set in their ways for a Globalist Wet Dream. These people are evil for Globalism is based on greed and power. They WILL DO anything to keep it going. That is why I have been saying a prayer for Donald Trump and his family. I do sense a threat toward him. Just remember these globalist are not friendly people, eventhough they represent themselves like that in public.

Amen Brothers and Sisters!

Well, you’ve been warned. We told you and told you, but you thought, “Nah, they don’t mean it. They’ll forget and fall-in at election time. They always do. And we’ll keep feeding at the trough.”

But it kind of didn’t work out that way this time, did it? You may think you’ll just wait it out, that during four years of Hillary or Trump the fever will break and it’ll be back to business as usual. But it won’t. That's done. That's over. It isn't going back to how it was. The base isn't going to suddenly wake up and see that you were right all along. Trump and Cruz changed things. The insurgency is the future. And you’re the past.

I’m glad to see that Kurt has managed to grow a brain over the last two weeks. Previously, he was an obnoxious Trump basher.
