You can see with the proposed tax plan that the lobbyist own the US Senate. The mere fact they they want to retain the existing 7 tax brackets means that filling out your return on a postcard is a fairy tale. The H&R Blocks et al. have drawn their guns.
It didn't take but a couple of minutes before you realize why he lost the GOP nomination so badly.
He is a loony bin, whose past is filled with accomplishments that exist only in his own mind.
These liberal TV shows reach out to Republicans for a talking head and they invite one of the most bizarre, odd ducks of the party on their programs, as if he is mainstream Republican.
Hannity got destroyed on the social media and fake media so he has backed off of his support so he can be a serious journalist.
Krazich is a cheap imitation of McCain who the mediots have to replace.
You’re one reason I’ve left here.
You can’t even read.
I just posted information that supports you, but you can’t wait to attack.
LS I have learned a great deal from your posts over the years and hate to see you move on because of a couple of meatheads.

John Brennan, former CIA Director, goes off on Trump. Course Trump did call those former intelligence people a bunch of con artists.
I read perfectly fine, you specifically used the word “indictments” when there’s no proof that these are in fact indictments, much less tied to Mueller. And if that was meant for someone else on this thread that needed correcting, you should have addressed them not me. They have turned our “Sunday Morning Thread” into a pile of trash.
I’ve invited you back, and will again now, especially if you’re ready to bring some sanity back with you. Your “theory” has turned a noticeable part of FR into Kookieville, and you left us here to clean up the mess. But I and many others will be more than willing to forgive if you are willing to help make things right again. Thanks.
What proof? It's 40 years later and no evidence, proof, collaborating witnesses, no nuthin but this woman's say so.
Way past the statue of limitations. No charges brought. No arrest. Just skimpy, shallow "alleged allegations" from a woman with lots of issues.
No one is concerned about Moore's rights. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? Due process? Nothing.
This is an orchestrated political hit job by the GOPe funneled through the lying Washington comPost but no one in the media is questioning whether these "alleged allegations" are true?
There will be no "proof" forthcoming because there are no facts . Just innuendo and accusations with no evidence to back up these women's claims.
The left and the GOPe would have been against Moore anyway, fake scandal or no fake scandal, for no other reasons than (1) Roy Moore is a conservative (2) Roy Moore is a Christian and (3) because Roy Moore will be a strong supporter of the Trump agenda.
You also have loyal FRiends here, Larry. Especially this thread.
I’m not optimistic about what you say about Mueller et al.
BUT, I hope and pay you are right and love hearing your theories!!!
Frankly, they’re still better than 90% of what the twittering nincompoops of the driveby media says every day!
I don’t agree that Larry’s theories are kooky at all, Golden. Like I said, they’re better than most of what you hear on the driveby’s.
AND, if true, we would really be grateful, wouldn’t we?
Who knows? Nobody.
But if Mueller is only working to get Trump, I do think he will fail.
I don't either, but this one is blasphemous, from a political perspective...
The Democrats, if not the entire D.C. swamp, are trying to impeach our newly elected President. Their primary weapon who actually has that capability is a longtime swamp creature, Mueller, who has a list a mile long of transgressions against the right while he was FBI director.
He's armed with a posse of Obama and Hillary supporters, has an unlimited budget, and is performing SWAT-like raids of Trump campaign officials.
If you're going to ask me to hold my fire against that guy Mueller, if not throw my support behind him, as this "theory" requests, you better have some rock solid reasons on why.
But the supposed reasons I should be supporting Mueller instead of cutting him off at the knees have not been rock solid, in fact they've actually been phony when closely inspected. This is likely a product of the theory just not holding up over time, but when that happens a theory needs to be abandoned, or modified significantly into something more likely. But instead, we've seen the seeds of this theory grow into even more outlandish claims that are coming in here at a feverish pace.
I don't think LS is a bad person, I've always enjoyed his posts and think his leaving was somewhat of an admission he knew there was a good chance this particular theory was wrong, and he wanted to keep the arguments down. Then today, he may have actually been trying to agree with me, but fumbled his presentation. I also admit I have been leaving him no margin for error, and may have been overly aggressive in my pursuit after Trump's comments yesterday which make it even less likely that Mueller and him are in cahoots.
In summary, there's no middle ground when it comes to Mueller, who is the lightning rod for the possible impeachment of our President. Until I see concrete evidence that he's working for Trump, I will continue to chastise his supporters, and they should expect as much. If LS has that evidence, he should present it. If not, he should be preparing a mea culpa, so we can clean up the board, and work together to discredit and disband the special counsel, not provide him cover to continue.
Thanks and God Bless!
Me too, and many others. But the freaking aggressive idiots on FR are loud and numerous and I can understand ditching it here. I’ve ditched it a few times myself, once for more than a year.
If “your” Sunday morning thread is “a pile of trash” please move the hell along loser! I’ve been on this thread for over ten years and we uncover stuff here weekly. If it doesn’t suit your needs don’t let the door hit you in your big ass on the way out.
The “Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread” was clearly created to discuss “Sunday Morning Talk Shows.” Often, to transcribe the interviews that were on TV, for those who weren’t able to see them live.
I just looked over many of your posts, and did not see a single one that was discussing what was going on in the television shows. It seemed to all be links to kooky sites, and what could be characterized as “lies” being reported as fact, over and over again.
If you want your own thread, why don’t you start creating one called “Sunday Morning Kooky Website Links” and take your BS there? Or are you just determined to ruin the Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread, which was here long before your supposed 10 years here?
Golden, Nothing that someone posts on a possibility of what is politically going on is making the thread trash.
Larry’s theories are not his alone, and are worthy of consideration. I doubt they’re actual, but not angrily, but more like when a Missourian says “Show me.” Anyway, as I said before I am not convinced, but would absolutely want it to be true, and if details comes out to support them, I’m always ears to hear them.
More importantly, the whole concept of Free Republic is to analyze the articles put out on the internet, printed press and TV news.
I’m sorry but what IS kooky nowadays is something said by those hosts whose shows we follow: Chris Wallace, Chuck U Todd, John Dickerson, George Stepponallofus, and Jake Tapper. AND the NYTLATWP, AND ABCCBSCNNMSNBCNBCPBS... The kooky lies, fake news, innuendo, smears, etc. just keep coming and coming.
I don’t care if it’s Alex Jones or Justin Ramadino—the kookier ones are now the mainstream news.
Rodguy911 has theories I don’t always agree with, and so does Fishtalk, Bray, ROCKLOBSTER, Kabar, DanZ etc., etc.
Bottom line is we debate, disagree, and agree as FRiends.
I’d like to keep it that way on this thread, without name-calling, rancor and words like “kookie” being thrown around.
There is NOTHING unusual about today’s postings on this thread. Hell, some Sundays it just chit-chat all day.
We used to have Snugs post her Sunday dinner pictures for goodness sakes! And we discussed them at length.
If there is something/someone worthy on the shows discussing real news we cover it here.
Stop pontificating, K?
Thanks AB. What I’ve said recently on many other threads you may not have seen is, I too like a good conspiracy theory. I too think they are necessary, and healthy. But what we are seeing here now (and not just at FR) is an overabundance of obvious BS that is flooding the legitimate conspiracy theory channel, and thereby discrediting it completely.
Those that only live in the conspiracy theory world, often can’t seem to separate themselves from fact and fiction. I’m glad to see that you still seem to be a right mind, and hopefully understand my point. If they want to post conspiracy theories, they should have at least done some due diligence and researched the likelihood of it actually being correct.
Take the site abovetopsecret.com for example, if you’re familiar with it. Are some of the stories there true? Yes, some. But most of it is BS, that is just thrown up there for impact, and why that site has such a horrible reputation for accuracy.
That type of trash is making its way here. Completely unfiltered, rather obvious BS. With it, comes those that are addicted to it, who add further irrationality to the already polluted content.
I realize this is probably offending some reading this, but don’t think I’m some sort of buttoned up snootie who wants them to completely shut up. I am just concerned they are destroying the credibility of the alternative news channel, by endlessly posting completely unvetted and fairly easily disproven tripe.
For example, I’ve seen claim after claim after claim that Tony Podesta has been arrested. Yet, not one spec of actual evidence. They should be focused on proving that claim, before spouting off more and more and more that are equally unproven, and unlikely, as well.
