Strangely, Bootajudge was the winner from Iowa somehow.

I'm still in shock.  The RNC has been the shoot-ourselves-in-the-foot-party for decades.  We nominated feckless RINO turds to face off against BHO. TWICE.

Trump is the most divisive president, ever.  Impeached in the house, under trial in the Senate.

Yet somehow, the Democrats are  desperate to drive their train into a ditch.

But the Dems have the media by and large laying new track in front of the train no matter where it goes.

It really is bizarre.

The Dole, Bush, Mcain, Romney and Trump votes be were all desperation votes to slow down the descent into societal insanity.

Only Trump, of all people, is actually governing from the right.

The Democrats are on the crazy train, the Double Down Express to Oblivion.


For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

It's not so bizarre when you consider that Communism is born out of confusion and discontent.

The trouble is, ever since the excesses of Senator Joseph McCarthy's "McCarthyism" of the late 1940s, people have been afraid to use the term Communist or communism for fear of being called "paranoid" and making baseless accusations.

And...

The Democrats are on the crazy train, the Double Down Express to Oblivion.

...this is all part of the plan.  Whip 'em up, block or malign all rational processes, break away from any sense of decorum (as in the Speaker's tearing up of her copy of the SOTU), and spread hate and discontent far and wide.

All part of the plan.

And, unfortunately, too many people still vote with their bellies instead of our previous national values.

Well, looks like the Dems have finally thrown in the towel and are calling in an outside expert to get this all sorted out...

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Poor Warren

One of the comments was great:  "She only received 1/1024th of a delegate."
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

They may never straighten out this mess

NYT’s Nate Cohn says latest results from Iowa have entered many Bernie Sanders results as Deval Patrick or Tom Steyer

You can't even just shorten it to "Mayor Butt" because there actually *is* a Mayor Butt (Tom Butt, of Richmond, CA)

We have gotten a little fast and loose with the no nicknames rule.  It's no like it's that hard to type Buttigieg.

Playing on the fact that its hard to pronounce his name.
Using his name to make homosexual jokes is what got the mods worked up last time and I'd consider that a serious violation of the Art's Grandma clause.

If you're going to make a rule, it should be enforced or repealed.
Ya know, like immigration laws  :P
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

Ummm . . . dems aren't really going after Trump, they're going after us.

Trump is just in their way.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
