But CNN told me today that the generals all said Trump was literally Hitler so it was all done to save the good ole U S of A
The Dems are baiting him into another Kent State. They so want to hang the killing of American citizens on his back if the guard kills people taking these areas back. It’s their wet dream

You do realize that the Dems are trying to bait him into a Kent State situation right?

You can’t rationalize with people who say the cops should have never been there in the first place.
I am 48. I drank a lot for 25 plus years but always managed my job, family, friends etc. found out wife had cancer and amped it up where I was drinking a handle of vodka every 3 days. Wife asked me to stop and I said I would. I didn’t. Got to the point to where if I had one sip I drank to a blackout. Went to rehab and got my life back and figured some things out. I will tell you that there is no way in hell I could have one beer without eventually ending up blackout drinking again. As a matter of fact one beer would just piss me off. That’s the difference between a casual drinker and an alcoholic. The kicker in all this is after being sober for 15 months I lost my wife to cancer but never had or have a desire to go back to drinking. As a matter of fact I’m blessed to be sober because I would have drank myself to death after losing her.

Rock bottom would be if your girlfriend left you, your family disowned you, you lost your job, house, and car, went completely broke, and maybe got arrested for DUI or possession or worse.


I get your point. And you are right. I’m saying what I felt at the time was my rock bottom.
I was like some in this thread. I was a functioning alcoholic. Held my job, never got arrested and thought I was maintaining a good house. Until the day my wife packed her bags and was standing at the door with my 11 year old and said they were gone if I didn’t stop drinking. As far as an outside influence affecting my life that was my rock bottom. By the way my wife had been asking me to stop drinking for about 3 years. I just thought I could control it. I couldn’t admit I was drinking entirely too much.
NBC is telling me how to feel about this right now. I’m outraged.

Just watched the maple syrup one.

That story would make a great dramady type movie ala Bernie (the Jack black movie set in east Texas

Did people die? That sounds like it would make a great next series for Fargo. :lol:
Lots of responses I agree with. I’m 47 and drank mostly beer since I was 19. Would always drink heavy when at parties, get togethers etc. About 4 years ago I discovered Vodka. Worst thing I could have done. On beer I would get drunk but not passed out drunk like with the vodka. Wife got breast cancer and somehow found myself drinking more and more to deal with the stress Would never drink before or during work but would kill it on my days off to the point my family could never rely on me for anything on those days. When I knew there was a big problem was my wife asked me to please stop drinking and I did for very short periods but would always go back to the bottle. Woke up after a blackout night and wife basically said it’s me or the bottle. Checked myself into rehab and the last 8 months have been great. I was such in a damn haze I never knew how much destruction I was causing around me. So I count myself fortunate that I never lost my family, job or anything else that was important to me. And by the way I never really considered myself an alcoholic until about a month before I went to rehab
Announcer said JJ had them ready to go. Good lord.
Can you imagine if this much scrutiny was applied to the prior admin.
Get Kac fired. Get Bannon fired. Get the next person fired. Makes Trump look like an idiot. Mission accomplished
Tell me what main stream media will report that and I may tend to lean your direction. Even if it happens and I pray that it never does Media outlets will be finding every possible spin angle including they really aren't from there to deflect. I suspect and don't laugh that they will say that DJT personally brought them here to attack to prove his point. Book it.
Even the local police said they could have arrested him any day of the week away from the compound They said he would be in town alone picking up supplies so I'm not sure why they felt the need to storm it
Keep the brush fires stoked so the firefighters are always chasing the flames when they should be catching the fire bug.
Right now they aren't and it's fueling their outrage. That all they really care about is temporary outrage.
Because activist leftist get to try to say the constitution is working when it's not.
