John Roberts said a little while ago on Fox that Trump really likes Matis but there is a law/regulation that states that someone in the military/pentagon needs to be out for 7 years before taking a cabinet position (paraphrasing). It can be done with a waiver, so now it’s up in the air and Matis is not confirmed as the SecDef nominee per his sources. I think the waiver needs to come from Congress, but I’m not certain on that. If that is the case, I would think they’d provide the waiver since Matis has received high praises from the military and almost everyone else.
It is ny view that if he did not have the waiver votes, trump would not have made the call
Ainsley from Fox and Friends is in the house.
Everyday you feel like you are the poor abused orphan child who found the winning lottery ticket.
Amen to that. Our country dodged a major bullet. We are indeed blessed... :-)
Pepe is a meme generated- by and large, from the folks at 4chan (alt right). The uber left have assigned various pejoratives and negative meanings to Pepe. The Deplorables have embraced Pepe and all of the derogatories assigned to the meme, just as the left assigned made up charges against Trump supporters like racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, misogynist, etc., that went nowhere. [my words]
During the 2016 United States presidential election, associations of the character with Donald Trump's campaign, white nationalism, and the alt-right were described by various news organizations.[14][15][16] In May 2016, Olivia Nuzzi of The Daily Beast wrote how there was "an actual campaign to reclaim Pepe from normies" and that "turning Pepe into a white nationalist icon" was an explicit goal of some on the alt-right.[17] In September 2016, an article published on Hillary Clinton's campaign website described Pepe as "a symbol associated with white supremacy" and denounced Donald Trump's campaign for its supposed promotion of the meme.[18][19] The same month, the two sources for Nuzzi's Daily Beast article revealed to The Daily Caller that they had coordinated beforehand to mislead Nuzzi (particularly about the existence of a campaign) under the expectation that she would uncritically repeat what she was told, with one saying "Basically, I interspersed various nuggets of truth and exaggerated a lot of things, and sometimes outright lied in the interest of making a journalist believe that online Trump supporters are largely a group of meme-jihadis who use a cartoon frog to push Nazi propaganda. Because this was funny to me.".[20] The Anti-Defamation League, an American organization opposed to antisemitism, included Pepe in its hate symbol database but noted that most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.[21][22] [source] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog
Wow!
Live from the Trump thank you tour in Cincinnati. #MAGA
After DJT is through restoring America, perhaps the Congress will pass a law MANDATING any future presidential candidates MUST be business persons....attorneys and lobbyists need not apply! : )
Thanks... your posts have really added a lot of 'color' to this thread.
Kind of makes us feel like we're at the event... :-)
RT if you feel like it's a 🎄MERRY #MAGA CHRISTMAS🎄 thanks to all our great Patriots efforts!
>>I cant wait to see our new President tonight.
*************************************************
I hope he announces his plan to stay in direct contact with us. Weekly fireside chats, special video clips, townhall Q & A’s, and rallies....anyone or more of these would be amazing.
The #DumpKelloggs petition is now at 173,147 signed to boycott Kelloggs.
Keep it going folks.
And don’t forget to support Breitbart for your conservative news update.
There are so many benefits to continuing these threads. Most of all, for me it is like a continuing live chat, where friends can keep in touch and not have to necessarily comment on a specific thread’s subject.
Just as DJT keeps in touch with us, these threads keep us in touch with each other.
Waves of positive energy and love rippling throughout the Land!
Staying on subject is haaaaard. Not easy like everyone thinks - Fredo

It may be a lot larger than this. My husband just signed up and the number seems to be stuck at 173,147.
Welcome, that’s the feeling I get coming across them..

Obama elected goes on international tour and apologizes for Americans.
Trump elected goes on domestic tour and thanks Americans.
Quite a contrast.
