    Every day I pray Donald Trump will decide not to run for reelection and one of my favorites Walker, Rubio, or Cruz will be elected president and serve well for 8 years.

    Ah if wishes were horses I would have to build a truly mighty corral...

    Pray harder. Donnie don't quit. Donnie thinks quitting is for losers. This is the guy who keeps smearing McCain long after the man is dead.

    Wouldn't we all. :sigh:

    I could see that right now. All their fans go out and decide to shoot the people they hate and then realize they buy their heroin and oxy from sources that often have brown people somewhere in the supply line. It would take one day of their pain pills running out and they would be twitchin and stuck in bed. Most employed people who are not hooked on opiods and on disability realize that brown people and democrats are all over the place and are not looking to have a huge war. The unemployed white disabled masses who can sit around all day and watch faux news and Alex Jones need the government and their drug connect or else they are worthless.

    This is not to say brown people are the sole reason drugs are out there, but given the way drugs are distributed they are in the supply chain just like white people. If you fight a war with non-white people you have to give up the comforts of life like the pain pills you got addicted to because of you were born with a weak spine and have back problems.

    Oh, and for Alex and his people fighting a war that would mean they would have to give up their blogs. They don't want to do that. They want other people to do that and to scare people with empty threats to AOC and Muslim congresspeople.

    If wishes were donkeys we would never hear from Dayton again except for his obituary when he checked on a donkey dick and died like all the kitchen's men.

    I'll take issue at your racist comments. But there are plenty of white people in the business of supplying every known type of illegal drugs.

    This is false.

    He said he may not accept the results of the election and reserves the right to file a lawsuit.

    Given that Hillary and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie it's a valid position to take.

    Democrats can not be trusted to not steal the election. Dead people, felons, cartoon characters, all vote Democrats. Now the Democrats steal votes by "harvesting" schemes in some states.

    I'd keep all my options open as well.

    As I said, laying the groundwork.

    I can see you've chugged so much Kool-Aid you're already preparing to justify the power grab even while swearing up and down it's not going to happen. :(

    Crooked Democrats, deep state, fake news, illegal votes, George Soros, BLM/Antifa/MS-13.

    Some or all of the above will be invoked to invalidate the election result, assuming of course it's not in Trump's favor. Mark my words.

    The biggest double standard of the last 20 years is how little the GOP give a shit about rape or workplace impropriety until they could use it as a club to bash over Clinton :s head. :bailey:

    Pretty sure Trump had lied unde oath at least twice this week.

    Better get that pink slip ready. :borg:

    I don't have any friends any more because we've moved away from each other and no longer work together.

    "driving distance of Harrison"? Well if you consider nearly five hours drive "driving distance". I could drive to Dallas considerably quicker.

    To me you are not really friends unless they are a key part of your life. When people are no longer interacting regularly, by my standards they are no longer friends.

    Hmm, so you grasp the concept of picking who gets to be in your circle, and yet you're a dogged partisan.

    There's no connecting of the dots at all there?
    None?

    Guys, I get it. Dayton is a big fat slow rolling target. You want to take your potshots at him. But he's counting on that, because once you do pretty soon we're all talking about him instead of the topic of the thread. Something to keep in mind.

    ALT-REALITY

    Trial by Fire: Donald J. Trump vs. Democracy

    Well, sure, it’s politically motivated (although not wholly, which is a fact that Republicans, for whom everything is solely about political power, couldn’t begin to grasp). Duh. This is politics. But that doesn’t make it illegitimate. Anybody who learned about the Constitution in eighth grade ought to know this.

    What we learned then was this: We have three branches of government; they are separate but equal. That’s the standard phrase we all learned in school. But, as we also learned, if one branch is by design a little more equal than the others, it’s the legislative. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention discussed it first, and placed it first in the document they produced, for a reason.

    So, for the executive branch to give the finger to the legislative branch in this comprehensive a fashion is, without question, a constitutional crisis of the first order. Trump, Lindsey Graham, every Republican who defends Trump or stays silent (that is to say, every Republican), the hosts on Fox (save Judge Andrew), and the millions who follow them are all explicitly now participating in a conspiracy against the Constitution.

    I used the adjective “totalitarian” above for a reason. These are not small-d democratic people.

    As my regular readers know, I’ve been unenthusiastic about impeachment. As I wrote last week, it will fail. Trump will not be removed from office. And I say it’s irresponsible not to think about the political consequences of that. If Trump gets to play the victim, it could help him get reelected, and that would be a disaster of epic proportions, not just legally and constitutionally, but in a hundred different real-world impacts on people’s lives. Making sure he’s a one-term president is the highest moral duty of all.

    But after seeing what Trump said last week about refusing to cooperate with any House investigations, well, I’m not quite there yet but I’m warming to the idea. And news broke Sunday that Bill Barr may back out of testifying before the House Judiciary Committee this week because he doesn’t like the terms they’re setting.

    These are direct cannon shots at a coequal branch of government and at the very concept of same. Obstruction of justice is a “mere” law. The powers of the legislative branch, though, are derived from the Constitution, our most sacred document. No, the Constitution doesn’t specifically mention oversight powers, but the reason it doesn’t is that everyone assumed that Congress would conduct oversight into the executive branch. They didn’t think it even needed to be said. The first select committee to investigate an administration official dates to the very first Congress, in 1790.

    Yet, in the coming weeks, a third or more of the country is going to be brainwashed into believing that, because there’s politics involved, congressional subpoenas of Trump officials are illegitimate. So a sentence along those lines can be added to the above revenge narrative. They’re going to believe what they’re going to believe. But in the real world, Congress, the Democrats, cannot let this stand.

    Actually I think that was at the annual Coaches Clinic (held then in Fayetteville near the University of Arkansas though now it is at UCA in Conway). Back in 2008 after Amy and I had been RIFed by Norphlet .

    The long time head coach from there Tommy Tice met me there and interviewed me at Fayetteville. Fayetteville IS within driving distance of Harrison and Coach Tice who was very proud of their new football facility was planning to drive me over there to see it. Which is why I thought the job was in the bag as very few coaches go to that much trouble unless they want to hire you. Unfortunately (for me anyway) one of Tice's former players decided he wanted the job and he always had a policy of hiring his former players if at all possible.

    As it is, the only time I've been through Harrison was when Amy and I drove to Branson, Missouri on vacation last year.

    how many have you bought, and how well do you know the drug community? Are you a cop this week?

    Even the racist drug dealers and pushers deal with black and brown people. It is an equal opportunity business. When it comes to dope sick hitler would suck heroin from a black homosexual Jewish dick to get better.

    So in other words, you have no idea. There is a reality that there is a large percentage of the white community hooked on oxy. You do not know who sold their pills or is profiting from the chain to you. The reality is that going to a civil war would mean a potential for the supply lines to be cut, and then people will be looking to the nearest supplier no matter what color their skin is.

    Right now no person asks if a brown person made money off of their drugs, and I can tell you the dealers to the white nationalists don't give a fuck about the color of their supply chain as long as there is green.

    Believe me I have seen racist people buying from the black as night drug dealer over and over again because drugs are drugs.

    Actually, I have to ask that question too. The last time I heard of him doing any testimony under oath was when he wrote his answers to Mueller for his report.

    Trump lies blatantly to the people every day multiple times, but that is legal. It seems he is wary of perjury which is why he does not want to testify under oath, and why he does not want his people to do so because they might not fall on their swords for him.
