Below my daily excerpts from “Politics by Pat”, put up with the intention that these might be the topics of today’s Sunday talk show discussions.
Please scroll on by if not interested but do stay and participate in our thread.
Tuesday-date- 3/21/17Daily Update
THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS!THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS!THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS!THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS THE RUSSIANS!
I am so sick of hearing about the Russians I could spit.
Comey did say that there was no evidence that Obama was wire-tapping President Trump. Comey also said there was no evidence that Trump was correlating with Putin or Russia in any form or fashion. Comey also said there is currently a continuing ongoing investigation into the matter.
Well it couldn’t very well say it ended, right? They need to keep up the meme about the Russians stealing the elections so that history will show Trump as an illegitimate elected president while precious Hillary was cheated. So they got to keep this “investigation” open forever even though nobody will be doing anything on it.
I also heard Comey say, and this is fascinating, that Putin hated Hillary so that Putin would naturally want to help Trump in the past election.
Say what?
Putin hates Hillary?
Heh.
Not that I blame him but the Director of the FBI SAID THAT!
Every other sentence was how he could not comment on the weather, the upcoming ball game, the color or the grass but he told us all about how the Russian premier hates Hillary Clinton!!!!
He made my day.
Trey Gowdy did a magnificent job while Adam Schiff is creepy looking with eyes that could be stars of a horror movie.
He seems like a good candidate, coming from the 10th circuit, great record.
Will keep listening as the Democrats act like the jerks they are come their turn to question.
I did watch some of the Gorsuch hearings yesterday.
What a gracious man he is. When he was questioned about upcoming supreme court cases he tactfully refused comment.
The hearings go on through this week and I will be watching.
Some Mexican stole it, what the hell?
One was 17 and one was 18. What the hell are they doing in a junior high school?
And Montgomery country wants to turn Maryland into a sanctuary state.
This is going to cause huge impacts across the country and I predict President Trump will have to deal with it.

Daily Update
As of this writing they’re not releasing the guy’s name but we hear he’s….GASP…a Muslim extremist.
These people never stop. They never, ever stop.
So I complain about California Republican Nunes because, well California Republicans are never really Republicans, are they?
BUT Nunes is the head of the Senate intelligence committee and they are investigating the Russians, gotta check the Russians, the Russians did it, the Russians pooped in my hallway.
And it is discovered that the Obama administration WAS, in fact, eavesdropping on the Trump people, even AFTER he took office.
THIS is illegal, illegal as goat shit, and Obama and his minions are guilty as hell.
Because if innocent Americans somehow fall into a FISA investigation they are to be “masked”. Only some asshole unmasked Flynn…..hey people…nobody in America believes that the Obama admin did not listen in on any of the presidential contenders.
NOBODY BELIEVES THIS!
More coming up today and I’m watching.

Daily Update
If you never believed that the media is dishonest, why haven’t we heard a word about this from ABCNBCCBS…much less CNN or MSNBC?
Further, it turns out the school system is blocking investigation and reporting into the matter….quote below:
Sure, a 14 year old agreed to be raped orally, vaginally and anally by TWO men! In her high school boys’ bathroom no less.
Have they no shame?
Speaking to my brother-in-law the other night he accurately described the ultimate goal for health care in this country.
Come back tomorrow and will explain in greater detail
Saturday-date3/25/17-Daily Update
I have no idea what was in the GOP replacement health care bill that was not voted in yesterday.
So for today, let me tell you what I think the final goal is for both the Repubs and the Dems….those people who control our every move.
Actually it’s not my conclusion. My brother-in-law, all busy doing my taxes, indulged in some minutes of political talk as he is a political junkee, like me. Neither of us is particularly proud of this.
The political elite want America to become a single option health care country. That single option would be Medicaid.
Everybody would be born with an automatic medicaid account. THIS entity would be available for all health care, including pre-existing conditions.
There. One huge factor out of the way.
The private health care companies get involved much like they do with Medicare. They will offer medigap policies that will pay for deductibles and co-pays.
Of course soon after the political elite get it this way, deductibles and co-pays will soar, much like they are now.
But boom, there’s no fighting over pre-existing conditions and as for medigap plans….citizens can then choose those health care plans they want and/or need.
Yes.
I believe that is the plan. Maybe it isn’t all fleshed and solid in the minds of our elected masters but they are our bosses, they own our lives.
Soon to have complete control of our health.
On a personal note
Got some BIG news about my very public humiliation in church last week as another parishioner and I sat in the pew, a full 15 minutes before mass was to begin, just talking, quietly. Some asshole sits behind us and practically shouts “WOULD YOU TWO SH*UT UP?”
Yeah I know, not supposed to talk before mass and all that. But THIS story has quite a plot.
First, why yes I do know Father Thomas Flowers, our church’s Pastor who wants to get together with me, not until after Easter, so he and I can write a book about saints.
What, you think a priest would be busy over the Easter holiday?
Father Tom did not hear anything about the incident but he did ask around.
Turns out we got some Nevertrumpers in our parish and THEY ARE AFTER ME!!!
And have been for several months now. Y’all might remember the incident where one liberal Republican confronted me angrily after mass one week for daring to call “her” priest a Tea Party priest.
When, heh, in fact, Father Tom is very much a Tea Party priest and he signs his email as such at least when he writes to me.
Yesterday, I sat down in the middle of a pew and was very quiet. I avoided my also talkative friend. Absolutely everyone around me was talking, quietly and without bothering us around. Further, a whole group of people, maybe a hundred or so, reciting a rosary out loud. Neither of these things bothered me but if quiet and peace is the goal before mass begins throw that right out the window.
Yes, they are after me. I am not nuts. I think I am being stalked, I am terrified most of the time, now my daughter, after painting Satan symbols all over the house I bought her and ripping out every appliance, wants more money.
But I do have Father Tom on my side and he too believes there’s some under-current going on around that parish so I get comfort from that.
Lewes, Delaware, location of my church, is a strange place. Half is extremely liberal, half is conservative and supported Christine O’Donnell (yes they knew I was a campaigner for O’Donnell….the people in that church know who I am). Lewes Delaware is right next to Rehoboth Beach Delaware, one of the largest homosexual communities on the east coast.
We got lots of liberal nuts and they are after me.
If anything should ever happen to me yon readers, please don’t let her get away with it.
Daughter very much wants me dead and she could easily talk her crazy devotees to do it with her cajoling. As for the Nevertrumpers going after me……this is all they have to do with their time and money from George Soros?
Looking forward to hearing what Roger Stone has to say. I still think he”s the primary focus of the Russia collusion investigation.
Lots of questions arise: 1) how and whom to trust ? Advisors; Priebus, Bannon, Price etc. Congressional leaders; Ryan, or Freedom Caucus, Meadows, Cruz, Paul etc.
2) Next move Donald must either determine whom to trust OR immerse himself deeper into the details and trust himself. Ryan has pretty much DQ'd. Why would Bannon be so vehement in his support for the bill ?
Standby for relentless Trump bashing and condemnation of the Freedom Caucus from FNC’s Chris Wall-ass and company this morning.
Over on the “other” liberal propaganda outlets it will be joyous praise of Obamacare and the ‘Rats to go along with the usual 24/7 Trump/Freedom Caucus bashing.
No reason at all to turn the TV on this morning.
ping for later :)
Jim Jordan needs to step up and tell Ryan to get a new healthcare passed.
KaSICK coming out of hiding, I see.
Jim Jordan is doing a great job explaining why it failed. He is asking why they didn’t submit the bill 15 months ago. Makes far too much sense.
No SUBSIDIES for the poor!! How can we ever live without pure Marxism?
Senator Cotton is from Arkansas.
So the Chris Wallace meme is that Trump ‘never reached across the aisle’ for healthcare issues. What about the meeting with Cummings on the cost of drugs? I guess it never happened.
Did Did anyone catch Jim Jordan with Chris Wallace ? He sure didn’t want to answer the questions put to him. Wallace said he was told the FC wanted to do away with pre-existing conditions. Jordan tried to deflect the question-never really answered it. Jordan’s body language was quite telling. He looked uncomfortable and was shifting around in his chair.
Someone asked Pres. Trump (after the bill went down) what he’d learned from these negotiations? Our President said “I learned about loyalty”
The FC is loyal to the lobbyists, the Koch brothers and the COC and not WE the people or this President.
