McCain: "No Evidence Of Illegal Voting"

That gosh-darn liberal disputing Trump:

From John Fund:
Obama's final press conference he said he would continue to fight voter-ID laws, "only country among advanced democracies that makes it harder to vote."
Wrong. All industrialized democracies-and most that are not-require voters to prove their identity before voting.

Trump's Wall...

What it would take and what it would cost:

I wouldn't count on CNN to give you an accurate assesment. For instance, it wouldn't be a solid wall the whole length. I wonder why CNN forgot to mention that?

20,000 and other things

Posted By Mel Maki
Jim Brown said:

Well, the Trump rally pushed the Dow above 20,000 today for the first time in history. Gotta like that!

Another thing - during lunch banter yesterday, the notion was raised that Trump tweets outrageous things intentionally to distract and enrage the press and left with "issues" that don't have a whole lot to do with governance; issues that thereby overwhelm and blunt any opposition to the more real and important aspects of his agenda. The news coverage arguably bears this out. So does the nature of the threads here on A-mart recently. I'm not sure I'm willing to buy into this theory yet, but still....

Jim

More likely Trump is just lacking those political skills. He is still caught up in trying to win arguments that a better politician would just let go by. He will probably learn to do this but I wouldn't risk my money betting on him.

Betsy DeVos

Our new education Czar, one of Trump's picks for the "best people out there", just got confirmed.
Never mind her family paid 8.3 to GOP super PACS.
Never mind she wanted to arm schools to fend off grizzly bears.(Got any grizzlies in your state?)
Never mind that for the first time a vice president had to make a tie breaker vote for a cabinet appointee because some Republicans joined the democrats in opposing her.
What should you mind? She's another plagiarizing dork!

"She's another plagiarizing dork!" Not good, but Hillary "lied for a living."

Who'd a thunk it?

Posted By Mel Maki
Jim, you're one of the few with the pluck to give some old, tired, and beat up conservatives a jab now and then. I don't think the Dems will find anything solid enough to cause Trump much trouble. There's a good chance the Dems will be exposed with their pants down when more info comes out about the last administration's failure to protect the names of people caught up in the surveillance of foreigners. Obama's move to make the info available to other agencies just before he left is looking very, very suspicious. There is a good chance this will cause the Dems a huge headache. More excitement coming soon.

WTF?

That's the best I can post about this...

I think he sat right next to him! Gotta be a felony.

And here are a few things most people believe about Huey P Trump (which is a great insult to Huey P Long BTW)

The poll also found that several negative views of the president

54% said they were embarrassed to have him as president
57% said they he was abusing the powers of his office
60% said they believed he was above the law
71% said Trump was not levelheaded
62% said Trump was not honest
63% said Trump did not have good leadership skills
59% said he did not care about average Americans
63% said he did not share their values

I put Hillary's name in each line and came up with even worse numbers.
Think he can get another judge into the Supreme Court before they charge him?

Liberals cannot admit a wall will help secure our border.

Keith Fredrickson said:

Think amateur astronomy is expensive? I spent 3 years and a couple a dollars doing a ground up restoration on this numbers matching 69 in my garage and a friend's shop. At least my wife didn't have to go far to find me! wink

Chevy said they were 375hp. Hot Rod tested a bone stock L78 at 425hp.

How did I miss this one?

Jim Moscheck said:

A customer told me about this today and I told him "no way, nobody is that f'ing stupid."

I stand corrected. Reminds me of the way my mom was with early onset alzheimer's disease.

He is saying why she is here. She really wanted to be here. It was important to her.
It is obvious to me. Seems a person is really reaching to take his words any other way.
