[I had no idea that the discussion of Trumpโ€™s presidency and its survival could be elevated to the enviable level of an unending โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜Yes he is โ€ฆโ€™, โ€˜No he isnโ€™t โ€ฆโ€™, without any perceptible loss of interest by the discussants.  Nevertheless, on the off chance that someone wants to introduce a new topic thread, hereโ€™s some fresh sand.  However, any such forays into new issues are not required, especially for those convinced that other readers are hanging on every clever word in their repartees ๐Ÿ˜‰  gjr]

    Gulf war? The bastards had it coming. So Paul, the war in or around 1776 was an “unjust war”? We didn’t take any shit from what is now Libya back in 1805 either. Maybe you prefer living under a King’s rule.(Mullahs today) Maybe if we waived a white flag back in 1815, would make you a happy guy today.
    For a guy who hates war, your here living off the spoils of it. That’s reality Paul.

    YOU ARE IDEOLOGICALLY IMPURE!

    “The woke world is a world of snitches, informants, rats. Go to any space concerned with social justice and what will you find? Endless surveillance. Everybody is to be judged. Everyone is under suspicion. Everything you say is to be scoured, picked over, analyzed for any possible offense. Everyoneโ€™s a detective in the Division of Problematics, and they walk the beat 24/7. You search and search for someone Bad doing Bad Things, finding ways to indict writers and artists and ordinary people for something, anything. That movie that got popular? Give me a few hours and 800 words. Iโ€™ll get you your indictments. Thatโ€™s what liberalism is, nowโ€Šโ€”โ€Šthe search for baddies doing bad things, like little offense archaeologists, digging deeper and deeper to find out whoโ€™s Good and whoโ€™s Bad. I wonder why people run away from establishment progressivism in droves.”

    A perfect example of the soft civil war that is going on. Team Blue largely owns the media, and most of the media is an oligopoly depending on the transport mechanism. A combination of universal surveillance with realtime feedback on ‘news’ sites allows people to be programmed in practically any way you want. Gin up a ‘Russia’ controversy and bango, the useful idiots spew forth their wisdom. Just follow the money.

    Dong alert at Fox !!!!!
    And to think this man was one of the reporter for Fox when Weiner man emailed his dong shots.
    “Eric Bolling, a longtime Fox News host, sent an unsolicited photo of male genitalia via text message to at least two colleagues at Fox Business and one colleague at Fox News, a dozen sources told HuffPost.
    Recipients of the photo confirmed its contents to HuffPost, which is not revealing their identities. The women, who are Bollingโ€™s current and former Fox colleagues, concluded the message was from him because they recognized his number from previous work-related and informal interactions. The messages were sent several years ago, on separate occasions.
    When asked whether Bolling at any point had sent unsolicited lewd or inappropriate text messages or emails (including an image of a manโ€™s genitalia) to Fox News or Fox Business colleagues, his attorney Michael J. Bowe responded, โ€œMr. Bolling recalls no such inappropriate communications, does not believe he sent any such communications, and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made.โ€

    There were absolutely no โ€œpersonal insultsโ€ in my 3:35 am post. I never pointed to any specific โ€˜personโ€™, I did not direct it at an individual and I critiqued left and right equally.
    The response was directed at me by name, did not address the broader content, chose instead to address one minor sub-point of the case made by the WEF, pointed out a spelling error as an implied critique, and included the statement , โ€œโ€ฆa steaming heap of self serving crap โ€ฆโ€ without backing up your opinion with any cited sources, references or even a logical train of thought.

    And what was that 3:35am post of yours, Steven? The one that Crabb skipped over to warn me about personal insults? That you posted in the middle of the night?

    Steve Frisch says:
    May 14, 2017 at 3:35 am
    I almost added a caveat to this little essay, that I fully expected a small minded troll who views the world through a lens of self appointed intellectual superiority and a single minded jihadist focus on climate change, would find the spelling error. Oh, BTW, โ€œworshiping at the altar of Smithโ€ฆโ€ wasnโ€™t referring to you. I was really thinking way behind the tiny world of Goodknight.
    I am amazed every time you comment at just how small you are.

    Just to help your reading comprehension, Steve, I boldfaced the parts of your 3:35am that were personal attacks.

    PaulE 231pm – Yes. Ellsberg’s prosecution was screwed up by the government, and Deep Throat (then Associate FBI Director Mark Felt) should also have been prosecuted for abrogating his oath of office. Both men acted criminally violating laws that were in force then and now. It’s interesting to note that the Left’s hero Ellsberg also supports Wikileaks, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden.

    Todd, the average SAT nowadays for ‘Frisco State is 1050, a little below the average for people who end up with 4 year degrees. Assuming little Stevie Frisch had an 1050 in his day, that might indicate he’s a dead average 105 IQ as, back in those days, MENSA accepted a 1250 SAT for its required 125 IQ. They do not accept any score from the current test which, although it is still normalized to match the IQ curve, the newer tests no longer have a good correlation to an innate reasoning ability. It’s now an Achievement test, not an Aptitude test.
    Todd, I do think Steve is a tad smarter than you are. But you have chosen better in a number of life’s aspects, like not being arrested for DUI or ‘borrowing’ a quarter of a million bucks from the State and Feds without their consent.

And, after once again projecting his own behaviors in his 122pm yesterday, pointed out explicitly in my 235m today he seems faced with a choice similar to that of a Christian Scientist with appendicitis.
    I suspect I’ve earned Frisch’s suspicion that I’m smarter than he is. Self appointed? Meh!
    So, does Frisch find his inner mensch and retract and apologize for his posts here recently (not to mention his tantrum at Crabb’s that led to me getting tossed out by the Crabbman), or will he just tie one on and go to sleep drunk as a skunk a’gin? Time will tell.
