Uh, bruh... Do you have any idea just how corrupt the D.C. Swamp is?? There is no way Trump, or any president for that matter, could’ve drained it all in only four years! Come on, man!

Actually, that’s not accurate. The United States remains the largest food producer in the world by far.

Now, pharmaceutical drugs... Well, that’s a different story.

Yes! And you know what's ironic about that bummer of a film? It produced a *true one-hit wonder* on the music scene named Frank Stallone. That's right, the young brother of the legendary actor Sylvester Stallone scored his one and only hit, "Far from Over", off of the Stayin' Alive soundtrack, peaking at #10 in 1983!

Incidentally, Frank fancies himself as a conservative and was interviewed on Sean Hannity's radio show last year.

Agreed on all counts, my FRiend! In fairness, Animotion had gone through so many personnel changes between 1985 and 1989 that they might as well have been considered a completely different band by the time "Room to Move" made its ascension up the charts. The trivia tidbit I most vividly remember hearing about Animotion while listing to Shadoe Stevens' American Top 40 weekly radio countdown show in the spring of 1989 was how the band's then-current actress/vocalist Cynthia Rhodes (of Stayin' Alive and Dirty Dancing fame) had just gotten married to singer Richard Marx. :-)

Haha, challenge accepted! Sorry, but you are wrong. Animotion was *not* a one-hit wonder. In 1989, they reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a second time, peaking at #9 to be exact, with "Room to Move", a song featured in the soundtrack from the movie My Stepmother Is an Alien. (I actually still have it on CD.)

Animotion had an additional Top 40 hit sandwiched in between their two Top 10 smashes, by the way. Their follow-up to the #6 single "Obsession" in 1985 was "Let Him Go", a #39 U.S. hit.

That article was published on August 30, 2019, so it was referring to the fake polls at that time that preceded the completely rigged and illegitimate 2020 presidential election.

Anyone want to place a wager on which GOP representative this time around will be the first to say, “It’s not a perfect bill, but...”?

I seriously despise these bastards with every fiber of my being.

Come to Texas. Football is ingrained in the make DNA here. They will be back, and I bet the NFL will have higher TV ratings this upcoming season, and it will require a good number of conservatives to do so. I know, people here will post they aren’t, but people here are nowhere near representative of conservatives nationwide.

Have you not seen the NFL’s sharp TV ratings decline over the past several seasons? Large swaths of conservatives *are* abandoning the NFL.

You may already know that it’s all discussed in the Bible, in the book of Revelations. Not an easy read but certainly a worthwhile one.

I second this. Let’s first focus on putting our differences aside and joining forces with anyone and everyone who is passionately interested in saving this country from communism, and THEN we can debate about whether or not porn stars should be welcome in the conservative movement.

We are perilously close to losing all of our liberties, including our religious ones. Should that ultimately happen, then nothing else (other than our total faith in God) will matter.

Mega dittos to what both of you have said. :-(

I was home for Christmas break of my sophomore year in college when I caught Rush Limbaugh's appearance on Phil Donahue's daytime TV talk show. It marked the very first time I had ever seen Rush or heard his views. I was immediately impressed with him as I found myself shouting "YEESS!!" and pumping my fist in excitement after each and every single comment he made. I stood there in my kitchen with rapt attention watching Rush completely knock every single one of Donahue's leftist arguments out of the park, and I knew I had discovered a new hero. Finally, here was someone in the media who was articulating exactly what I was thinking!

That very night, I watched Rush Limbaugh: The TV Show for the very first time (which came on at like 1:00 AM in my market)! Within the next couple of days, I picked up his first best-selling book The Way Things Ought to Be. When I came back home for summer break in '93, I started tuning into his radio show daily and had been a devout loyal listener ever since.

Now, I feel like I've lost a lifelong friend with Rush's passing and I don't know how I'm ever going to fill the void that now exists between noon and 3 PM ET every weekday. He had been a part of my entire adult life.

Thank you, God, for loaning Rush's talent to us. You gave us a true American patriot.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I ain’t waiting that long.

No thank you. I am well past this stuff.

My focus is on 2022 and 2024. Like people on this db have said, maybe Trump will run again and maybe this time pick Pompeo as a running mate. That could be interesting.

It looks to me the reason you don’t believe election fraud occurred in 2020 is because, for whatever reason, you just *don’t want* to see all the mounting evidence. If you think election fraud could never happen in the United States of America, well, I can fully assure you, it not only happened in the 2020 presidential election, but it also happened in the Georgia Senate special elections last month, and will continue to happen from now until the end of time if the GOP keeps sweeping it under the rug and pretend it’s not happening.

If the Republican party doesn’t insist on a state-by-state audit of the recent election results, demand all existing corrupt Dominion and Smart-o-matic voting machines be banned and replaced, and strongly curtail or outlaw mail-in voting, then no Republican will EVER win another presidential election again and may never win control of the Senate again either. That is a FACT. It won’t matter a hill of beans who we run in 2022, 2024, or anytime thereafter.

Ben Sasse surprises me. When I have heard him speak, he’s always come across as Constitutionally minded.

Sasse spends most of his time in Congress being impressed with himself. Some of the things he says might sound right, but he’s not saying them to influence you, but rather to dazzle you with his self-absorbed and self-involved awesomeness.

Some men like this spend a lot of time in front of a mirror. Sasses spends most of his time listening to his own blather...

So spot on and VERY well said. Maybe even the post of the day!

All the while openly communicating that it was my privilege to pay them for their contempt and hatred towards me and all I believe in, and their regard for me was so low that they estimated I would be unable to stop viewing their games.

They were wrong in that respect.
