It's a strange, sad situation. On a lighter note, I'm surprised Greece didn't something weird like offer to sell the coliseum or something . . . or put advertising on things . . The "Verizon Parthenon" . . . the mother of necessity and such.

Caitlyn Jenner to receive the Arthur Ashe Courage in Sports Award
LOL... is that courage for enduring a life spent "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", or for getting a boob job and other surgeries or simply for improving the Liberal ESPN's ratings?

Today's the 15th, it's going down, the Texas invasion has begun. I'm watching it live on TV. Tanks moving in, Texans being handcuffed and thrown on buses. Families crying and being torn apart. Just now, seeing some Army guys taking over the oil fields. Looks like Cowboy Stadium is being used as some sort of processing station. Armed military all around, they have Jerry Jones in a headlock, he's putting up a fight. Good stuff, brb, getting the popcorn.

ooh, live pics coming in, it's getting real. Just saw the German Shepherd in the below pic attack Dez Bryant, I think he was there signing his new contract.

CALIFORNIA DEM WANTS ‘HUSBAND,’ ‘WIFE,” BANNED FROM U.S. CODE

This idiotic "thing" should be shipped to the Antarctica and left among the penguins for a min. of 20 years. Feel sorry for the poor Penguins though.

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the alleged killer of 4 Marines in Chattanooga, is from Kuwait and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2012 with a degree in engineering

I wonder if this will also be called "Workplace Violence" by the White House.

Interesting that it happened in a Gun Free Zone

Yeah, little stickers on doors don't stop crazy people. Even worse, displaying a sticker like that broadcasts that no one will shoot back.

"Trump mocks McCain’s military service: ‘I like people who weren’t captured’"

“He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump sarcastically told host Frank Luntz during the 2015 Family Leadership Summit. “I like people who weren’t captured.”

haha, can always count on him for something. He just f'ed himself with that one. We still have 16 months before election, he'll be long gone before then.

I just came into here to post The McCain comment JBL beats me to it.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/donald-trump-john-mccain-war-hero/

Does Trump really want to win? Is his job to bring chaos to the Reps so Hilary looks great?

Trumps is too used to board rooms of yes men.

 

[verbster]

Trump is so busy admiring himself that he doesn't seem to realize his mouth is going to do something unheard of in the past several years . . . give both parties a common enemy.

 

[johname]

This one pretty good too. Imagine not remembering which foot got you out of the war

All guns are pointed at Trump. MSM, Liberals and Republican Candidates are worried about his popularity and will not stop till he is shot down.

This is all hipocracy considering how the Media and the Liberals bashed McCain during the Presidentials. The Liberal Media will basically choose the Republican candidate that best suits the interests of the Democratic Party, ensuring that a weak GOP candidate is chosen to run against whoever they choose to become the next President.

They did it successfully in the last two elections and will probably succeed again in 2016. The MSM will win the elections, unless some really strong GOP candidate is able to successfully give the MSM hell. An almost impossible task.

A far cry from how Barack was and is treated

You can blame anything or anyone you like, but Trump is his own worst enemy.

Who cares if he is his own worst enemy. Let him be what he is. I don't need the Media to think for me. The more the Media tries to convince me that someone is bad, the more I like that person. The Liberal Media has no credibility whatsoever. They are biased against conservatives and they don't even bother to hide it.

Buy some earplugs or maybe change the channel. Tune into FOX or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or whatever right wing conservative media that shares your views. They won't be biased or hypocritical at all.

You reap what you sow. When you marginalize a large chunk of the populace by demeaning, criminalizing or smearing their opinions (calling them bigots, morons or whatever), they will eventually rally around a demagogue who will say what the mainstream politicians are afraid to touch on. The whole trend in the US has been to force social changes by calling anyone opposed to them haters, racists or whatever - whose needs are not worthy of even addressing. You eventually get people like Trump (and even Hitler) when you shut people out of political discourse until they are so alienated and angry they just don't care to play along anymore.

It's looking like it's going to be Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton. Bush and Trump are way ahead but it won't be Trump. Don't see any other Republicans that can make a run.

Republicans vs. each other

Clinton vs. various Republicans

It's still way early but don't see any other matchup happening. Bush's wife is really going to help with the Hispanic vote. Making a note of her Twitter account, only 3,883 followers now on 7/20. Should be in the 7 figures next year.

Jeb needs to fix his site tho - https://jeb2016.com

Was clicking on the Meet Jeb link:

"My life changed forever when I was a young man on an exchange program in León Guanajuato, Mexico. Across a plaza, I saw a girl. She spoke little English, and my Spanish was a work in progress. But for me, it was love at first sight."

Nice to see Trump helping Lindsey Graham getting mentioned in the news, despite having been called a Jacka$$ by Lindsey. Even better is to see Trump getting everyone pi$$ed off, especially the MSM, who are tripping over each other in trying to belittle him, trying to force him to apologize, without success, because Trump will not bow to those bastards.

Give them hell Donald, especially to the POS MSM. I'm lovin it so far
