An undercover LAPD officer had his gun stolen and was beaten with his handcuffs by protesters. The officer was trying to arrest someone who vandalized property until protesters assaulted him and used his handcuffs like fisticuffs and punched him in the face. Fucking disgraceful.
A huge issue with Obama was that any disagreement towards his policies was by default labeled racism. You couldn’t just be someone who had a different opinion, you were automatically labeled a member of the Klan.
Damn glad to hear you say those things, Pat.
As I’ve said before on the site; I have studied Biographies…especially of Presidents…for a long time. They were all men of varying skills and talents…and each CAN not…and SHOULD not be taken out of the context of their time in office. You simply can’t rank one “better” or “worse” than another.
And each man; without fail; had successes…and failures. If you start “ranking” them out of context; a true disservice is done to them and history.
I am more amazed each day by my favorite…Washington…both by what he did and didn’t do.
(Anybody think Washington didn’t have some failures? Think again…)
President Obama will neither be the “worst” nor the “best”…but I personally feel that his election said a lot “good” about this nation to the World… and like it or not, he will ultimately have a positive place in history.
President Trump’s legacy has yet to be written.
Where others find some crazy fear or trepidation in his election… or see him as some “savior”…I am excited to see how his narrative unfolds.

Washington is also one of my favorites if not my favorite. People do not give him enough credit as a president. He was amazingly wise and amazing measured. He knew how delicate a thing our young Republic was at that time. I read a hyoooge biography about him. It took me a year to get through it. It was very well written, very dense and very detailed. When I finished, I wished I had more.
I have gotten through the first 3 president’s biographies. I’d like to read up through the first 5. Then maybe come full circle with John Quincy.
What was really cool when I was in Boston was they had the mausoleum open where it had John and Abigial and John Quincy Adams and his wife all together. It’s not often open.
John Adams coffin was draped in a flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes… I wanted that flag… bad.

Specifically, why did it makes sense at the founding and not now?
And it continued through out his administration. Had he been a white republican he would have been impeached for directing the IRS to attack conservative groups, (Lois Lerner took the 5th for a reason), using the NSA to spy on its own citizens and probably a host of other things that were simply swept under the table because he was a black left winger.
What an absolute disaster he has been!
Trump winning makes Robert De Niro feel like he did after 9/11. A guy who played mob characters in movies now needs a diaper, pacifier, and play doh.
Yeah I heard about that. celebrities are so self deluded that they actually think people listen to them when they give an endorsement. Racist Beyoncé didn’t seem to help Hillary much.
Katy Perry tweeted the other day “There will be a revolution”
Now let me think for a second. College kids, celebrities, university professors and the teachers union vs Bubba…
I know which side will be winning that one.
To review, Trump beat both establishments, both Bush and Clinton dynasties, the media, and all of Hollywood. I doubt Katy Perry will take him down. These people are brainwashed into thinking they can save the Republic.
Also I hear about the accusations of Trump being a racist/sexist, maybe the guy or girl who can’t get a job and pay their rent or mortgage doesn’t give a fuck about that.

Funny you mention the racist claim. I had a confrontation with a Hillary supporter after the election. It went something like this:
Me: “Well we have a new President”
Her: “Yes, a racist”
Me “what did he ever say that was racist”
Her: “…um…he just is”
She walked away angry…I laughed.
The corrupt left wing media (which has now been definitely proven out by wikileaks) painted Trump as a racist. Taking his words out of context. And the left sucked it up like so much pablum. The end result is rioting in various left leaning cities across the country.
For real. I keep hearing the liberal pussies among us clamoring for revolution. As if they understand what that even means. They will protest conflict abroad in the name of pacifism and call for violence at home because they didn’t get their way.
Then we could get into the means of their supposed revolution. Resources aside, most of these whiny kids are afraid of guns. What the hell are you going to revolt with? Tweets? Mom’s Subaru Outback? A drum circle?
These people are so out of touch with reality that it amazes me. Frankly, I have been laughing like hell for the past three days listening to the participation trophy kids have meltdown after meltdown because finally they had to deal with disappointment.

I think France is next in the Brexit move, Le Pen seems on board with the movement.
CBS is also claiming that Trump will take a salary of $1.
This is why understanding history is so important.
As Beans once said; “The vast majority of the World has drinking water that is more contaminated than our toilet water…”
While people in the U.S. may be struggling…there are people in this World who would think that the worst off American is living in luxury.
War…famine…no due process…totalitarian regimes…living in squalor that we wouldn’t allow our dogs to live in…THESE are the things that lead to Revolutions…
Wearing a Che Guevara shirt; skipping class that Mom and Dad are paying for; and putting Soy in your Starbucks Latte does not a revolutionary make…

Trump actually said it on “60 Minutes”.
U.S. Law requires him to take at least $1.
Yeah, you could be a “professional athlete” and make your “stand” by pissing all over the flag. Thats true combat…

One way to silence all these hipsters is to give Bernie an insignificant position in his cabinet…
I really do like that idea.
But I also used to invite the neighbors to my parties so that they wouldn’t call the cops.

That once worked against me… .
If he was in the department of Labor, they would all blow their load.
We would take pics of the local cops drinking limoncello with us as we played bocce at the park. They would let us drink at the park, and we wouldn’t go public with the photos. Hard to threaten old men with a fine when they survived the real Hitler.
Best line ever…cop says my uncle Franco “sir you can’t drink that in a public park.” Uncle Franco says, “what are you going to do, rob me of my young life ?”

Fuck this racist bullshit, period. Trump won on politicd not racism. Everytime people call those of us who voted Trump as racists we are emboldened by our decision because they don’t get it and don’t want to.
The numbers tell a different story. 1/3 of Latinos voted Trump. 2 to 3 % more blacks voted Trump than Romney. Waaaaay more women voted trump than was possibly thought.
But people was to read in there talking points into the conversation andwant to refuse to get it. The silent trump vote won because people didn’t want to be called names and harassed if they stated who they were for. So the liberals tried to shut up trump voters and they succeeded. But we use our other right to sent these asshole home. So burn down the walgreens, hurt your own neighborhood, the truly alienated voted. And they gave the largest fuck you to “Pussy Nation” on history. Shit will be different, ignore us and insult us again. I double dog dare you. Keep calling us names. We may win more if you do.
Get triggered and fuck thine self .
