    I heard very few complaints from dems about the debt (there were some.) I heard a whole bunch about how middle class people would see their taxes increased, and that the only people who would benefit would be the rich. Weird how only someone as unhinged as Nancy Pelosi is still holding onto those arguments, so I'm glad to see you've at least shifted the narrative somewhat.

    Hillary?
    No wait, scratch that. Hillary is too self-important to drive her own car.

    Shapiro is always a good choice for giving a speech and one of the sharpest minds in the conservative movement. However, I'm surprised nobody has brought up Marion Maréchal-Le-Pen. Yes, she's hot and there's nothing wrong with her speech. However, including her at CPAC is indicative of a shift in what we're considering "conservative." The Le Pens aren't Richard Spencer, but they're closer to Spencer than they are to Ronald Reagan. There isn't much small government conservatism in the Le Pen agenda. It's based heavily on ethnic French nationalism. Furthermore, they're not particularly favorable to the United States. It's weird to see that at a CPAC.

    CPAC was eventful. Le Pen is one thing. We had a woman (a died in the wool conservative) being bood at an open discussion on the "me too" movement. https://slate.com/news-and-politics...-why-she-spoke-out-and-got-booed-at-cpac.html

    And the fall out from Michael Steele being drug under the bus: https://www.aol.com/article/news/20...el-steele-got-job-because-hes-black/23370203/

    This from an organization that wanted no part of Trump two years ago. I'd say that's a bit of a shift towards sh!tty.

    Saw a tweet that Donald Trump effectively confirmed that he will run again in 2020 by hiring a campaign manager.

    Of course YOU would say that Bubba. Then again you say many things that are silly, baseless, and rhetorical. As far as Trump goes, there are courts that can address any actions Trump has wrongly taken with women. Steele probably was hired because he is black..... and well spoken and a conservative. If hiring someone because he is black is racist, your whole party is racist because libs incessantly call for that very "racist" action.

    Steele is a sharp guy and, it seems, a very good person. He may have gotten the nod as an effort to cross over to non-white folks. I don't know. It may have been that kind of thought process among mostly equal candidates - where comparisons are VERY subjective. The point is that it seems really shatty to say what they said. It's not that it's racist at all. It's eating your own. So, by all means, continue.

    The Heritage Foundation says Trump has managed 64% of his agenda already, which is faster than Reagan

    "With unprecedented speed, the Trump administration has already implemented nearly two-thirds of the 334 agenda items called for by the Heritage Foundation ..... At this stage of his presidency, Reagan had completed 49 percent of the Heritage policy recommendations.

    “We’re blown away. Trumpis very active, very conservative, and very effective.”

    What’s more, he said, Trump hasn’t just focused on one agenda area, but he and his team has pushed through administrative moves on foreign policy, deregulation, immigration, tax reform and health care, moves often ignored by the media.

    “It is a huge volume that his administration has worked on and it is a huge spectrum of issues,” said Binion.

    His report card jives with one from the West Wing which showed at the end of the year that the administration has scored 81 major achievements slashed at least 11 major legacy items of former President Barack Obama...."

    I guess a "Mexican judge" can be fair and impartial to Trump.

    I'm actually surprised the state went to Curiel. Trump's attacks on him were BS. He's not a conservative judge by any means, but if you're a liberal activist who's "judge-shopping," it wouldn't be hard to find a much more favorable judge than Curiel. By going with Curiel, they were obviously hoping he'd use the case as way to get back at Trump for his comments, but what if he had? That would have proven Trump's comments to be true. In other words, the State of California believed them to be true.

    When people mis-use words in that manner, you know they don't read very much. They are using homonyms because they have only ever heard the word instead of seen it used in print.

    For the 140th time, why is the President of the MF'ing United States of America tweeting these things. It's not only embarrassing it's a signal of the end of our Republic.

    You might not like Trump tweeting but to say it's a danger to our Republic is silly.

    No, it is more of a danger than selling uranium to Iran or spying on an opposition candidate, etc.

    Going to make a prediction that you will see less bar **** crazy decisions from judges regarding Trump once the mid terms are over. Those decisions will only help re-elect him. Better for a judge to say through a more rational decision that not electing Trump in 2020 is the only workable solution.

    Uranium One. You might as well have said Jade Helm.

    He's not talking about Uranium One, Barry. He's talking about this.

    I recognize you will never admit it, but Trump's earlier targeting of him was a quite clever pre-litigation tactic. It meant everyone would immediately scrutinize any adverse rulings from this specific judge. Not to say this ruling was not on the law. It was. But it is to say no one was more aware than him that he was being carefully watched in this case. And, as we have recently seen, the law does not always contain all district judges in the this Circuit
