[Alas Babylon!]

Bwahaha!

Good one!

I heard the platypus was once called a duck-beaver.

[Alas Babylon!]

...the only undefeated football team?

Huh? They didn’t play Alabama...

[bert]

Amen

Florida lives under the tyranny of the law that will not prosecute nor punish criminals if they are black. Nothing can be done to change the situation.

[Alas Babylon!]

I don’t know, Bernard...

As much as I wish it was true, I don’t think Sessions is a good guy at all.

[rodguy911]

Some wonder if Pam Bondi is being prepped to take over for Sessions,shes great,IMHO.

[patriotspride]

Trump appeals to people’s hearts and minds the dems to fears.

Once a person overcomes a fear they clearly see who or what wanted to keep them in that position and for what reason

Go Donald

Ps thanks for the insights into Scott’s opponents

[NautiNurse]

Ironically,rumors are there were so many illegal votes in Dade and Broward Gillum may have won by massive voter fraud.

Never forget the blatant 2002 primary election day irregularities when Janet Reno was shut out of the FL Dem nomination for governor. Janet Reno herself had problems casting her vote in Miami-Dade that day.

[rodguy911]

Yeah good analogy pretty close to what they are doing.

[Alas Babylon!]

Kinda reminds you of someone else...errr let’s see.....

The collective United States says:

Been there, done that.

Nope!

Not again for 50 years, minimum.

[Alas Babylon!]

Dude, you’re quoting the WRONG post. That was Pat’s.

[kabar]

I think he’s been a pothead since Vietnam. He was in Vietnam, by the way, in case if you didn’t know.

Less than four months in-country with three phony PHs..

Unfit for Command.

The Dems have some serious internal problems with the geriatric wing battling the young socialists. Ironically, Bernie is a hero to the young socialists. The Clintons have lost control causing a vacuum. Obama is scheming to gain control, but he has a foot in both camps. He will be forced to make a choice.

[Alas Babylon!]

I think I’m in love!

[Bernard]

I guess that was my underlying point. If Jeff Sessions was/is a good guy, he would not want to retire like this. (Who else is going to appoint him to something?)

A good guy would go out swinging, which means don't just sit in the corner and wait for President Trump to fire him, and Jeff also should have learned by watching the President that taking the offensive is better than the GW Bush approach of letting your opponents define you and continue to pile on.

Not saying he will, but until this whole Mueller thing took off on its own, Jeff Sessions was pretty popular on this web-site. Could we all have been wrong about him all that time?

[kabar]

Sorry about that...Dude.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

If Trump can hold the House, Mueller, Rosenstein, and probably Sessions get fired.

Rosy and the Mule team yes....SCCJ Roberts needs to go too.

Sessions no.

[Alas Babylon!]

He was my senator.

I met him at several shake and smile political events.

I loved the guy.

VERY disappointed does not do justice....

[rodguy911]

Actually, I think it's already underway. In some areas black voters are reportedly going for Trump with numbers like 35%!!Unheard of only months ago!

Unlimited immigration and DNC leaders throwing blacks under the bus forever in favor of the third worlders has changed things.

If the dems lose only a small part of the black vote from what I hear they are in trouble in many areas.

This was posted on another site, but I thought it was worth reposting after the disgraceful week of the never-ending McCain funeral: To: aMorePerfectUnion 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Bloody Brilliant Explanation of why we needed Trump "My Leftist friends constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. We tried statesmanship. We tried propriety. And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob. I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.” The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War. During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.” General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich. Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!” That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer. Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal. Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”… Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. … They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up. So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!" ~Evan Sayet, the author of The KinderGarden of Eden: How The Modern Liberal Thinks. His lecture to the Heritage Foundation on this same topic remains, some ten years later, by far the single most viewed lecture in their history. seen on reddit...

Sorry it got posted this way!

Gillum only received about one-third of the Dem vote, which doesn't bode well for the general election. How many of the other two-thirds will support this radical socialist?

Reps did well in FL in absentee voting and early voting--a good sign that the Reps are energized, at least in FL.
