    How so.....I never said the Entire organization. That was you coming up with that bullshit.

    But then you lefties weren't ever about being honest or telling the truth. Just wasn't part of that DNA the left was created with.

    The link pretty much shows why you needed to go to an alternate reality.

    Well, then, to ask the obvious question, how do they keep getting the majority? I don't understand it, but it keeps happening... If the D party could only find more qualified centrist candidates, I would think they would dominate every election cycle... But I'm hoping this latest disaster (Trump, not the shutdown) might finally be the catalyst that gets the common sense electorate off their asses....

    A sex scandal involving Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is stirring controversy in Iowa's 2018 governor's race.

    Greitens, a Republican and a former Navy SEAL, was the headliner at Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ Harvest Festival fundraiser in October in Des Moines, her first major public fundraiser since becoming governor last May. His speech offered a long stream of praise for Reynolds, laced with calls for conservative action in Washington, D.C., and a commitment to patriotism.

    And it still doesn't compare to all the Demos being hooked for Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault.



    After Sexual Harassment Accusations, Dem. Ruben Kihuen Will Not Seek Re-Election ....


    Kansas Democrat Drops Out of Race After Sexual Harassment Accusation.....


    Which doesn't count the Demos in Californification, nor Illinois, nor Colorado. [​IMG]

    The real truth Trump blames the man in charge for the shutdown in the past, and the GOP agreed with that.
    And now when the tables are turned,... you lot flip flop around like never before.

    The govt should be left shutdown just to see how far democrats are willing to go to protect illegal aliens.
    They may secede from the union like they did when Republicans threatened to take away their slaves.

    Well the Reality today in 2018 is.....Trump and Repubs are blaming the Demos along with the Associated Press, NY Times, CNN, and NBC blaming the Demos.

    The good news is those on the Right can never flip flop and deflect as much as those on Left.

    Your kind Has Hillary and She lives off the flip flop. Validating that!

    "Current Senate rules mandate that 60 senators -- three-fifths of the 100-member Senate -- must agree in order to end debate and move forward to a vote on a measure or piece of legislation -- a process known as invoking cloture.

    The Senate, however, has invoked the so-called "nuclear option" in the past to get certain nominations -- most recently of note Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch -- through the Senate by a simple majority vote, but there is currently no method for doing so with legislation".

    The reality is that Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with it. So my previous post you throwing in a red herring is correct. And the truth is, that the Dotard took a whole year of playing golf to come up with an economic plan, and just weeks after that we got his financial crisis on our hands. Just "maybe" he should watch the news a lot less, play less golf, tweet less... and do something like work.

    P.s. Pelosi not a Senator... look it up...not in her hands at the moment

    As long as my 2 senators are good waiting for a reasonable attempt from R's to reopen govt, so am I...

    We patiently await Dems to return to their senses, so the Federal Government can reopen. Dems would shut down the government rather than accept a Clean CR and Additional Children's Health Insurance Spending? Well... OK!

    Politics: It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    Liberals, especially in the media, really went off the deep end last week. On to the midterms!

    You were given the reality......the only other reality is how you lefties keep deflecting the thread and pushing up the post count for the thread. Despite having your asses handed to ya'll on a Orange Platter. Hence all that BS about what Trump said back in 2013 before he was in Office.

    The reality is, is that you're not disputing you bringing in Hillary Clinton is a red herring.
    That is you doing the deflecting on my previous argument.

    yes which begs the question what happened.

    And guess what? In the last 10 days the russian disinformation assault ramped up exponentially, further and dramatically damaging hillary's brand. The correlation is striking and the evidence damning. Gee, this russia thing is all a hoax.
