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

BOL! I haven't heard that for over 5 decades. Two of my Aunts were big on gossip, and "she has a big wattle on her neck" was one of their tidbits.

Thanks for another good reason to donate to and visit Free Republic.

That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.

A rooster (or hen’s) wattle hangs beneath the chin:

To: Servant of the Cross; All
Patriots, please bear in mind that the only reasons that the political parties exist is the following.
  1. To control 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states for many generations.

    “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
  2. To continue to steal and control even more 10th Amendment-protected state powers and state revenues.

Given that one of the very few powers that that the Founding States actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate, tax and spend for domestic policy purposes is to run the US Mali Service (1.8.7), the key question to ask is how many political parties does it take to run the Mail Service?

I say none.

The states need to amend the Constitution to prohibit political party support for the federal government. (It’s okay for the individual states to shoot their feet off with political party support for the state governments.)

They think their only failure is not rigging the primaries as well as the democrat fascists have.

what's a wattle?

I wondered how many people would notice that. The old timers here know but my computer dictionary say it is....a material for making fences, walls, etc., consisting of rods or stakes interlaced with twigs or branches.

That gives them a way out, when in fact, they are corrupt and could care less about us.

The word “establishment” is now commonplace among voters.

Kurt Schlichter's amazing message to the brain-dead GOPE: It’s probably wasted effort since your motivation isn’t ideology but, rather, your own personal power, privilege and pocketbook, but here are some lessons you might want to take away from all this.

Stop lying to us.

Stop prioritizing K Street and Wall Street over Main Street.

Stop trying to shove amnesty, Common Core, and big government down our throats.

Stop rolling over and presenting to every liberal nursing a fake outrage.

But you won’t learn from your humiliation. Instead, you’ll tell yourselves comforting lies to avoid facing the painful truth. You’ll tell yourself that the base is just stupid, that they’ve been hypnotized by Trump’s magic and don’t understand....

Thank YOU Kurt Schlichter...

The GOP is bought and paid for by big business.
They could care less about learning any lessons.

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.

One can not like Trump, or at least prefer someone else -- and still like what Trump has done to the GOPe.

I think it is very rare that an “Establishment” has ever given up its rights and privileges without a fight. They will lick their wounds, make their plots, conspire with our adversaries, and wait for the day when they can do a “Restoration.”

Trump and Cruz changed things.

Trump changed things.
Cruz was the secret stealth plan to keep the status quo and the Cheap Labor Express operating.
