As I sit here and watch tonight's episode of "flags and commercials" I ask myself: does anyone remember when football was good?

I've been asking myself why I watch NFL football anymore.

How can you ask liberals and dems to grow up and turn the other cheek and tolerate the grotesque behavior these childish, career politician men.

Paul Ryan is a fraud and a hypocrite. The ultimate douche.

He is kind of a weasel. Trump sees through his bullshit. If he doesn't play ball with Trump he will be gone too.

I hope that's true...Trump can go along way to winning me over by doing so...

I look forward to your explanation on how she used racial tension to further her career. Unfortunately I'll be waiting until doomsday because its not even remotely close to the truth.  YOur statement was nothing but a partisan attack on a journalist you literally know nothing about.

I thought you conservatives loved "at will" or "right to work" policies so that you can fire anyone you want for whatever reason you want.

Funny. THis is why these extremely partisan discussions become a merry go round. Because you disagree with something I post, you automatically feel the need to lump me into the red category since you are in the blue category.  Had Rachel Maddow been fired for calling a spade a spade, I would have been pissed off about that as well. So would you if it had been her instead.

I love IDs posts.

I don't have any problems with ID either.

You're right I dont know who she is...."right to work" is a conservative staple.

The media is privitized and it's sole job is to sell units.

I said as a member of the media...it's possible to not be racist and take advantage of race issues.

I can be a moderate and find the Trump voter mentality shallow, narrow minded and ridiculous.

I never said you couldn't. The problem is that its an identical two way street....but you turn a blind eye to the exact same shit coming from the left. That is your god given right to do so but you shouldn't be surprised when people pick up on it.

Trump voters(a small minority) go around saying "death to niggers". You are outraged by this(and rightfully so). Hillary voters(a small minority) have said "kill all the whites" and you don't bat an eye. 

I mentioned Scarlett Fakhar a couple pages ago. I don't know if you are aware of this story so I'll post it. As a moderate on political issues, I'd like to know how you feel about her firing.


Outrage as reporter is SACKED for praising Donald Trump and criticising Obama


A US reporter has been sacked after she praised President-Elect Donald Trump and criticised President Obama for making the “entire country hate one another”.



In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, Scarlett Fakhar, a Fox 26 Houston journalist, said “God had a hand” in the election and she could “barely sleep from how happy and relieved she was” after Trump’s election victory.

In place of the deleted post, Fakhar said: "Guess what fans!!?? FOX 26 Houston is trying to take my fan page down now! DON'T LET THEM! #FREEPRESS #FREESPEECH #FIRSTAMENDMENT"

http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dyn … 727294.jpg

But the day after she was sacked, she added: “Fox 26 Houston fired me today for expressing my conservative views on my private Facebook page.

“That is all I will say for you. But I want you to know how much your support has gotten me through this. God Bless you all.”





A spokesman from the KRIV confirmed to a local US newspaper that the journalist was sacked, but declined to comment.

The former journalist claimed that US newspapers made her race an important part of the story.





She wrote: “The media has made this a race issue, when in reality the matter boils down to a difference in political philosophy.

“As a multiracial person myself, I never have been or never will be racist.





"I simply stated the fact that the media continues to misrepresent the factual realities that there is NO more white on black crime than there is black on black crime.”

Fakhar has worked on a number of stories surrounding the Republican, including exposing the violence Trump supporters have faced since his election.

The most recent focuses on a student who was attacked by his classmates for voting for Trump in a "mock" election.

To anyone who believes the story is bullshit due to the Express, you can go read about it at the NY Post or other media outlets. You can also go straight to the source and follow her story on twitter....

https://twitter.com/Scarlettontv

I've followed her on twitter for months(although I rarely use social media) and I never saw her post anything worthy of losing her job over. She's similar to another one I follow(Juliet Huddy) who has similar views and probably the only reason they haven't went after her(yet) is she's more high profile.

Off topic but Juliet is a GNR fan(also likes Slayer) and has checked out our site. 20

The media coverage of this election in general was a huge clusterfuck and the media is on the verge of a major backlash.

I thought you conservatives loved "at will" or "right to work" policies so that you can fire anyone you want for whatever reason you want.

Also, anyone find it hypocritical that a member of the media blames Obama
For racial tensions when in all likelihood she used the tensions to further her own career. You don't have to be racist to used racial tensions as a catapult for yourself. Hypocrisy at its finest.

I love IDs posts. I agree with a lot of what he says. Trump is the ultimate hypocrite. He rides into office saying things that role up racial tensions and uses that energy for his own selfish means. Now Mr. Change rolls into office and appoints career politicians into positions of power. Mitch McConnel and Paul Ryan are exactly what Trump was supposed to be against. Now they're all buddies.

And even as president-elect, he still has time to tweet about SNL like a fucking child. He's not a leader of men. He's a divider. Divide and conquer.

He's got major problems to deal with and he's worried about a people making fun of him.

Fair point and you're probably right.

Having said that....

How far does it go? Where's the line in the sand? This isn't Iraq obviously. Russia is sitting right there. Is it worth the risk(however great or small) of a major war breaking out?

We should try to shake hands with Russia and work to open trade with them.  The US and Russia could act together outside of NATO and the UN and take actions to stabilize and control the region. Who's going to argue with them?

The EU is hurt by its loss of the U.K.  They don't matter for anything outside of consumers.  We have no problem doing business with Saudi Arabia. Europe has no problem dealing with Iran. No one gets to claim moral superiority.  Give the US Iraq and give Russia Syria. Work jointly to remove ISIS, stabilize their country, return migrants. Everyone is happy and we can focus on China.

when you say focus on China....can you explain what you mean by that? Do you mean their powerful economy?

#4668 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 460 weeks ago

but I think America's going to turn on them. Ivanka probably the most. She needs to shut down her stupid clothing & shoe lines with products made in sweatshops selling for $100+.

I disagree on Ivanka. Country is going to LOVE her. We basically have a Kardashian as the president's most high profile kid. Will media outlets be negative towards Ivanka? Of course. Will the general public gobble up Ivanka like Roseanne Barr on a loose meat sandwich? Absolutely.

I think get your point about Ivanka...I fucking hate the kardashians....in fact it makes me so angry when I see my gf watching it, it usually starts a fight. I see them as substance-less, no talent ass clowns who have been given the world because OJ murdered someone. I'm going to hate Ivanka for the same reason.

I really enjoyed Michelle Obama...she presented herself well and never took the bait of the haters. I also think she got behind some noble causes. On the same note...I hate Kanye...and I guess he just went on some sort of political rant....I wish he would stfu already....am I a hypocrite though because I usually liked Axl's rants lol

    I find it very strange that Liberals in the US defend the idea that you should be able to vote without proper ID. Just make an ID mandatory to have for every adult, make it easy to acquire and free of charge and all problems are solved, no? That's how virtually the rest of the civilized world does it...

Most rational people think like you. Unless you are a democrat and live in the United States.

On a superficial level....I guess I don't mind....but because I don't have an IQ of less than 100 I can think critically beyond the superficial level....but sometimes I am guilty of overthinking...parsimony is something I have to remind myself of...

I just ask you to consider that the law may prevent more eligible voters from voting than it does prevent voter fraud. I might take it one step farther and ask you to consider that perhaps that was the intent. Or at least part of the intent.

That was actually a good article by Coulter.

She's got to be on the team. Press secretary please....with a cherry on top.

Sometimes I get the feeling your just trolling with comments like these....

In any case...it would be the ultimate troll because Coulter is a troll herself...

Awesome I figured it out!!!
