GOOD MORNING
Posted on 07/12/2016 1:19:01 AM PDT by nikos1121
I argued with someone here on freerepublic about the importance of using social media. People are looking at the live streams! They aren't telling. Two months ago when we retirees were eating our lunch together this same person made a loud comment against Trump! BAM!
CHIPPING CHIPPING AWAY THE FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF DONALD
Hmmmm.....interesting. I have a two syllable last name so I guess I’m out of luck!
So I guess Christie and Gingrich didn’t stand a chance.....
Thank you, Nikos.
Can’t wait to hear Trump’s take on the Lynch hearing....
What a crap fest it was, couldn’t watch more than about 30 min.
GOOD MORNING
Is that Ann’s new boy toy? LOL
Good Morning “Woodstock”. Atleast you posted and didn’t wait for years. No one had a chance to call me newbie.
lol
Dolly,
What’s with Cali’s nose? That’s the cutest face..
I’ve had it on in the background but have ignored the Dims questioning (the little I’ve heard is they’re bring up other issues - now AAs and criminal justice system).
Rep Louie Gohmert just did a great job of grilling her and bringing up issues, and she keeps stonewalling, which is what I’ve heard her do for most Pubbie questions. I think he’d be great on the SCOTUS.
Waiting to hear Jim Jordan (R-OH) and someone that I’ve suggested might be a good VP pick (or perhaps even on SCOTUS) - he’s normally very good in these hearings, but she’ll probably stonewall him. Oh - he’s coming up now.

[ Since some here are having a cow about the possibility of Pence being picked as Trump’s running mate, here are some historical facts that might lend perspective to the man and his decisions made as an elected official, whether as a US Representative, or a Governor. ] (my words)
LGBT rights
In 2000, Pence stated “Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s [sic][42] as a ‘discreet [sic] and insular minority’ entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.” He called for “an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organisations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus” and instead advocated that resources be directed towards conversion therapy programs.[43][44][45]
Pence has said that homosexuals should not serve in the military, saying “Homosexuality is incompatible with military service because the presence of homosexuals in the ranks weakens unit cohesion” and in 2010 stated that repealing Don’t ask, don’t tell would “have an impact on unit cohesion.”[46] Pence opposed the 2009 Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, saying that Obama wanted to “advance a radical social agenda”[47] and said that pastors “could be charged or be subject to intimidation for simply expressing a Biblical worldview on the issue of homosexual behavior.”[48]
Pence opposes both same-sex marriage and civil unions.[49] He has referred to Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin’s findings that throughout history, societal collapse was brought about by the deterioration of marriage and family.[50] He has advocated a constitutional same-sex marriage ban, but did not champion such a proposed ban for his first year as governor.[51]
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Main article: Indiana SB 101
On March 26, 2015, Pence signed Indiana Senate Bill 101, also known as the Indiana “religious objections” bill (RFRA), into law.[71] The law’s signing was met with widespread criticism by people and groups who felt the law was carefully worded in a way that would permit discrimination against LGBT persons.[72][73][74][75] Such organizations as the NCAA, the gamer convention Gen Con, and the Disciples of Christ spoke out against the law. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff condemned the law, with Salesforce.com saying it would halt its plans to expand in the state.[76][77] Angie’s List announced that they would cancel a $40 million expansion of their Indianapolis based headquarters due to concerns over the law. The expansion would have moved 1000 jobs into the state. The mayors of San Francisco and Seattle banned official travel to Indiana.[78] Thousands protested against the policy.[72] Five GOP state representatives voted against the bill, and Greg Ballard, the Republican mayor of Indianapolis, criticized it as sending the “wrong signal” about the state.[79]
Pence repeatedly defended the law, stating that it was not about discrimination. In an appearance on the ABC News program This Week with George Stephanopoulos,[80] Pence stated, “We are not going to change this law,” while refusing to answer whether examples of discrimination against LGBT people given by Eric Miller of anti-LGBT group Advance America would be legal under the law.[81] Pence denied the law permitted discrimination and wrote in a March 31, 2015 Wall Street Journal op-ed, “If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn’t eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.”[82]
In the wake of the backlash against the RFRA, on April 2, 2015, Pence signed legislation revising the law to prevent potential discrimination.[83] Discrimination against LGBT individuals in employment, housing, and public accommodation remains legal, an issue that will be debated in the 2016 legislative session, and Pence has yet to endorse a proposed bill.[84]

“I would not be thrilled with Pence as VP. But, I could live with it. There are worse choices.”
Precisely how I feel about it.
Well, seeing as he’s a homosexual, I doubt he’s going to be much of a toy lol.
If they get any where with Lynch, let us know, please.
It was just too much BLM...blah blah blah....gun control...blah blah blah....police brutality...blah blah blah.
And yes Loretta deferring to Colmy, like it’s all on him, don’t look @ me...I’m headed to the SC, don’t ja know.
Has any one else heard that Trey Gowdy is Trumps pick for AG?
It’s on FB so it must be true, right?
30 minutes! You have nerves of steel. I gave it 30 seconds, and in that timeframe Lynch had repeatedly stated the same answer of obfuscation, to every single question asked of her by AZ Rep. Jason Chaffetz. A despicable traitor b!tch!
Oh how I miss our beloved Continental Congress, and public hangings.
Yuge venue!
