These other people Trump has appointed (Hegseth and others) or wanted to appoint, while loyal as hell, seem very incompetent


Incompetent?? After what Obama and Biden put up? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If I were 25 today - I'd be a Democrat


As an 18 year old, even 21, I was a hardcore Democrat and Socialist in the later 1970's.
But by the time I became 23, I had taken a job out of state, left Louisiana.
By the time I was 25, I had married, bought a house, and was waiting on baby number 1 from my wife, a native Texan, also Mexican-American and surprisingly for me at the time a lifetime Republican. Amazing how I slowly realized by that age, how life changes everything. You start to see life from a family perspective and taxes raised it's ugly head. When you begin to put your own life and family first, also a hard job with long hours, you start to question why should I help people who don't have the same work mentality that I do? Needless to say, the conservative side started coming out in me and over time, I completely abandoned the Democrat Party.

None of this needed to happen. This has been a debacle from the get go.


You have to look at the big picture- Trump ran the Chinese out of the Panama Canal, then he cut off China from their 2 main sources of cheap oil- Venezuela and now Iran. Over time, this will have a major effect on their power. I don't think the average Democrat can think that hard to see that Trump knows what he is doing. :usa:

frick Africa and frick the Africans


This! :cheers: Only thing we should give them is birth control! They should not receive a dime from us! Quit having kids and maybe you would have enough to eat!! :angry: :angry:
No thank you, I just want to totally forget last season!
Embarrassment to LSU, f**k that racist anti-white bastard!

WNBA suspended the Coach for one game for making a forbidden comment.


That's just plain dumb! :rolleyes:
No regrets, I was not going to let the government con me into taking an experimental drug!

Younger people are increasingly asking when baby boomers will take responsibility for the mess they left behind.


Screw that! A boomer here, I worked my arse off all my life, finally retired. Do you think money woes just go away when you retire? Not every boomer has some outrageous sized retirement, that is a fallacy. I have talked to many fellow boomers who have lost their homes, can't afford the upkeep! My younger wife is 64, still works, because she knows we need the money and kids and grandkids keep thinking we are here to bail them out of all their mistakes!
And the biggest mess I see is young fools who keep voting Democrap! Which of course means more and more taxes for social benefits, not to help the aged, but illegals and minorities! Why don't they tax welfare benefits? Why was social security ever taxed? I have no pity toward younger pople, no one said life was going to be easy. :spank:
Glad to see this! If customers know this shite is no longer being allowed in eateries, they will feel safer to go! :cool:

I still don’t understand how a declining population is a problem.


It's not a problem! As I watch more and more apartments being built around my area, I wish we would have more women on birth control, especially the ghetto trash that should be on mandatory birth control!! :angry:
My first game at Tiger Stadium, I was 9 years old, a tie against A&M, 7-7 in 1966. I can still remember looking at the scoreboard before we left the stadium, disappointed we had to settle for a tie, but from that point on, every Saturday night in the fall was about LSU for me!

Nah I want to rain fire on the place and not give them a single penny until they agree to a permanent occupation like we did with Japan and Germany


The words 'ceasefire' or 'negotiate' do not register with Iran! How many more times does Trump have to realize this? If nothing else, I agree, bomb the f**k out of them where even if we do pull out and go home, their whole infrastructure is pretty much wiped out for a decade or longer!

That is quite appropriate...
On a similar note, my wife and I just had burgers at one of our favorite burger establishments here in Houston, and this big 250lb+ black woman with 4 or 5 kids, takes one of the boys to the men's room. My wife was watching, no knock on the door, she just walked in. Glad I wasn't inside! :speechless: They have no shame, no sense of decency...
Portugal may have dominated possession, but I preferred Congo's aggressiveness! I was very disappointed in Portugal's overall performance today.
