To give President Bannon his due, Mr. McMaster's views in this regard were known before he directed Trump to appoint him, but he did so anyway.

Maybe The President is worried Brennan Leach would be in the audience.

Yep. Not sure how many other members of the WH staff did their homework tho...Sardonicus said:

Sounds like maybe they will invite Hillary to sit on the dais where Trumpty Dumpty fears to sit.

You'd like to think the White House staff would tell the President that going to your own hotel the night the Kuwaitis have a party they moved to there looks pretty bad. But, YOLO I guess."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

I must have misunderstood your title.....

"In 2002 my husband enlisted in the US Army, he stood up to serve because he believed in the principles on which our country was founded and, recognizing it wasn’t perfect, was passionate about what it could be. Today I am deeply saddened by the news of the executive order banning immigration. This is not the country he dreamed of, not what he served for and not what he died for. . . . "

Pat Tillman truly was a profile in courage. A brave, selfless, and honorable man who proved that the old saying that "there are no atheists in fox holes" is a lie.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk

I suspect it's because the data showed that the working class isn't in the top quintile, but only the fourth.

It it appears as though @ 52% by the wealthy and 47% by those making 30k and up to 250k. The top quintile is anyone making 100k household. PS that's not rich. Them folks is working. -

Interesting as it all unfolded, living here in the PNW we watched the Letourneau saga unfold. A 30+ woman with a 12 -14 year old boy. Even though there was jail time, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary a couple of years ago and their two daughters are part of a pretty nuclear family, even though Mom raped Dad.pgprescott said:Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -
Curious which of the two options you would have been more horrified over if it happened to you? I guess I'm OK with a double standard on certain issues.pgprescott said:Stillwater, MN -
You are fine with it? So if the boy is gay and knows it, and a priest rapes him, that's fine too? What about a boy is so different from a girl? Is it physical or mental? Remember, we're not talking 17 here. 12!StillH2OEgger said:

@Skiddymarker - thanks for the wake-up. I was in the PNW when all that happened. Definitely had a run in the Seattle media but don't recall it becoming a big deal across the country.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

The real issue is that the MSM is not free and fair. It is a wholly owned arm of the DNC. Way beyond mere bias.JohnInCarolina said:"Let me control the media and I will turn any nation into a herd of pigs."
This is is a big problem, but because it benefits your ideology, you choose to ignore it. It's obvious to anyone who is not a raging partisan. He is being rough but it is necessary. I could only imagine the whining from the likes of you if 95% of all the media and all academia where in the tank raging right wingers. It is dangerous and has been going on for decades. I have news for you, the jig is up! -
Demonize the media, trade in ad hominem attacks, politicize the courts when they reject your claims and actions, cast doubt on (or eliminate!) the notion of objective truth, remove entirely any common set of facts from which honest debate can be pursued --
and in so doing, when you are exposed for the kleptocrat you are, when the structure of lies and immorality upon which your empire is based is exposed for what it is, you have in place the means to survive. Attack the messenger, dodge the message, and millions will follow, blindly or otherwise.
He's a con man and a shill. He's enriching himself and his cronies -- and the power structure that supports him, to the detriment of the honest and rightfully angry people he conned -- at the expense of common American values. And in time the truth will out. The racists and profiteers and haters who he has enabled will go back into hiding and our best instincts once again will drive decision making and policy.
Or not.
Good thing we have a BBQ forum to work this stuff out on!It's a 302 thing . . . -

I'm old enough to remember Obama tweeting lies about the size of his election victories and inauguration crowds. Oh wait..."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
