I think it was interesting that Chris Rock open went golfing with him too.<br /><br />I like what Trump is doing with North Korea. I think he's slowly getting somewhere with them. Don't tell that to the neverTrumpers though.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-34501210142606027542019-03-24T15:37:47.031-04:002019-03-24T15:37:47.031-04:00If any member of the military had handled classifi...If any member of the military had handled classified material the way Hillary and her gang did they would be thrown under Leavenworth prison. The Left's exploding heads are making my weekend..I love it. The guy who shot up the mosque was an Australian. So how did he get the guns? NZ has fairly restrictive gun laws, even if they are not as tight as most Commonwealth Countries. The guy wasn't even a citizen. I still haven't been able to find out if he used an AR type rifle, all I can find is that he used a semi-automatic rifle, that can be any of a number of types of weapons. The press is again closing ranks to control the story. I'm still lost why a right-wing person would kill a bunch of people in NZ to spark gun control in the USA? It makes no sense. My contractors who mostly from Mexico, some from Guatemala have Trump stickers on their trucks. They have all applied for citizenship. They all are practicing Catholics like me and don't agree with the Dembeciles on abortion and many other topics. Trump's way of handling NK has still made more progress than all the other presidents combined. The Dims already have a problem, their young commies can't stand the old guard at all, even Bernie isn't that popular with them. But, their current crop of heroes are clueless,,,Beto, AOC (Apparently on Crack) and others can't think their way out of an economic argument. EVerytime some liberal tells me we need a gun confiscation I ask them if they are the ones that going to go door to door getting them? None of them have volunteered so far.

Now I don't think they're that sure. Oddly, their response seems to be to focus like crazy on just two groups now -- angry black, single/feminist women -- rather than trying to find a new way to become a majority. That's a tantrum response, not a strategic response.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-79355555309411545242019-03-24T05:55:40.724-04:002019-03-24T05:55:40.724-04:00Andrew,
1) Gun control only became a thing again ...Andrew,<br /><br />1) Gun control only became a thing again for Dems after it stopped being a possibility (once Obama left office). As I've noted many times before, the political consensus (Obama never forgot that gun control was a big part of what killed Clinton's majority) and the practical reality which has led us to where we are now on guns will not change. <br /><br />The reality is America is awash in guns and nothing will change that. The federal courts have developed an appetite for striking down local gun control that has existed for longer than anyone has been alive, but that is fine because gun control is meaningless. I live outside of DC, which has very strict gun control laws but for a long time experienced a crazy (mostly crack fueled) amount of gun crimes.<br /><br />2. As for demographics, I agree. Also as I've pointed out before, the notion of a 'forever majority' is a pipe dream. Both parties are broad coalitions that wax and wane based on the talents and philosophies of their leaders. A thousand year reich is not in the cards for anyone. Having power means making choices, making choices means making some people unhappy.<br /><br />3. As for the independent counsel thing, its meaningless to everyone. Trump and his cronies would rip Mueller if he had reached the wrong conclusion and Trump's enemies would have praised Mueller if he reached the right one. <br /><br />Despite the fantasies of Trump, his cronies and his opponents that Mueller was going to bring down Trump, the most likely result was always Trump walking. I'll quote what I said in 2017. <br /><br />http://commentaramapolitics.blogspot.com/2017/06/liberals-being-stupid.html<br /><br />Like I've said before, I don't doubt Putin put his thumb on the scale, but Hillary was dumb enough to negligently handle classified info (which is like leaving a pile of money on your lawn then whining when someone takes it) so I blame Hillary far more than Putin. <br /><br />Along those lines, I see no reason why Trump and Putin would collude. The risks are too high and the payoff is too minimal. I just think they honestly admire each other<br /><br />END QUOTE<br /><br />4. Speaking of Trump and his love of dictators who blow smoke up his butt... <br /><br />https://www.npr.org/2019/03/22/705764571/north-korea-pulls-out-from-inter-korea-liaison-office<br /><br />President Trump said Friday that he has ordered the Treasury Department to halt plans for "additional large scale" sanctions against North Korea on the same day that Pyongyang abruptly announced its withdrawal from a liaison office aimed at easing tensions with South Korea. <br />"It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea," Trump said on Twitter. "I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!"<br />-------<br />In a followup to Trump's tweet, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the president "likes Chairman Kim and he doesn't think these sanctions will be necessary."Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-71417296213991060442019-03-24T00:07:01.493-04:002019-03-24T00:07:01.493-04:00My bracket is 32/40 so far.
