Trump missed an opportunity to embarrass Fat Fuk Christie over the defunct Revel casino that was financed with millions of public funds under his watch.

Rubio…some good answers. Repeal Dodd-Frank? Yeah, good idea, how about repealing Glass-Steagall, too?

Rubio is just talking about repealing and replacing Dodd/Frank and Obamacare – so just replacing one ginormous fed.gov program with another.

No way.

When was the last time any American was attacked by Hezbollah (since 1982?). Hezbollah is both a social service organization as well as a militia. The main function of the militia is to protect Lebanon from Israeli aggression. Right now they are fighting ISIS. We should give them weapons. You can trust that they wouldnt end up in the hands of “radical islamic terrorists”

Question: How can important domestic and international issues be condensed into 60 and 30 second sound bites? This is “reality TV.” That is all.

Back in the beginning of this country – debates between candidates lasted ALL DAY. Four hour talks, followed by three hour rebuttals. Then they did it again the next day!

This is exactly why I hate politics, and feel we’re all doomed and have to “reset” in a very bad bad way.

Well, at this point, my fingers are falling off.

Here’s my take:

The Long Knives were out for Trump. But Trump was the only one to actually speak like a real person, not a PC political clone.

Soft balls to Jeb and Kasich.

Walker/Rubio/Cruz sounded pretty good.

Would have liked to hear from Carson more

Huckabee/Christie can’t shed their progressive pasts.

Rand got too mad and couldn’t get his answers out in the time allotted.

Gays, lesbians, prescription pills, guns, abortion, etc. All crap that the government has NO BUSINESS meddling in. Don’t get me started about the (fake) terrorism. And if any terrorism is “real,” it’s probably because America deserves it because of our military presence globally. “Get the fuck out of our country!” Imagine how you’d feel if Russia or China had 100’s of military bases? WTF?

Recall – what’s the (REAL) gay population? I think it’s around 2-3%. They’re manufacturing gay people these days to bring those numbers up.

Look into it. With an open mind. People can be conditioned into their sexual preference. It’s not genetic. No f*cking way. Not to these numbers. Sure, an anomaly or two, but not millions.

That’s just my $0.02.

the iran deal is one thing i will give obama credit for. How many wars have they started since any of us have been alive? how many countries have they invaded? Im sure its not perfect, but if it prevents, or delays, another iraq type fiasco that results in thousands of dead americans, millions of dead iranians(which, as in Iraq, will mostly be innocent civilians, as well as add another 2-4 trillion to the national debt, its a good thing. All these fucksticks will do is isreals bidding, which will probably result in another war and more senselss destruction. anything that avoids that is a good thing

Well I’m now back to the TV.

They guys are so full of shit. If Iran is such an evil dangerous enemy that’s holding a loaded gun to our heads why don’t we just vaporize them and turn their cities into smoldering piles of ash. That calmed the Japs down and now they are our friends. Were so fucking exceptional why don’t we just do it. If they don’t rate being vaporized then how about leaving them alone and let nations in their region of the world worry about them if they must.

The BS out of these fuckers mouths is so rank there’s a nasty smell emitting from the TV screen. I’ve about had it. The Trumpster is not all that funny either. What a let down. I wish Megan Kelly would just look into the camera and show us her tits. That would give the whole country something really fun and more constructive to talk about.

I know Westcoaster. It’s a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.

On top of that is the ongoing saga at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) outside Carlsbad, NM. They’ve got that mess on the down low.

Also worrying is that dam upstream of Hanford which has a sinkhole under it. Not looking good…

Lots of info at ENENews.com Most of it depressing…

And I’ll add that – we should leave Russia out of it. That is a good country.

I’d be really careful about how we tread with Russia. Luckily, we’re treading lightly at the moment, just using propaganda and minor outlying countries.

But Russia is brilliant, instead of “fighting” us, they’re ignoring us – and forming alliances of their own. That is called productivity. They’re not wasting time. Just watch.

The sad thing is – that if Russia (and their ally countries), become enough of an (economic) threat to us – some bad things will happen if we try to use our military to disrupt the process.

Sure our military may be “top notch,” but don’t underestimate their capability (or how far they’re willing to go).

Tick tock.

But what about America? Wouldn’t it be bankrupt by now with all that debt?

Well, we got robbed with that piece of junk fighter plane (F-35?). Problem as I see it is that our education system is so dicked up we’re letting a lot of peer reviewed papers slide that should be rejected (wouldn’t want to hurt any ones ‘feelings’). Others base their work of those and down we go.
