Exactly... but the Democrats have an amazing propaganda machine... they've somehow convinced entire generations that all the bad things they've done over the past 100 years, were really done by Republicans acting as Democrats. Even stuff that happened 10-20 years ago that Democrats have done, they've somehow convinced their ignorant voters that it was all Republicans.

Almost every facet of their platform is marred by racism and bigotry... and people just don't realize it.


Like Abortion Rights leader and founder of Planned Parenthood... Margaret Sanger... she single-handedly sought to destroy the black race through eugenics and forced sterilization. These are things she actually did... even wrote about it repeatedly. And yet, Democrats today don't even have a CLUE!!! It's crazy the type of revisionist history that the media and Democrats are able to spin.

Sebastian Gorka, special assistant to President Trump, has offered his letter of resignation to the president, according to a report on Friday.

“Given recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka reportedly wrote in a letter obtained by The Federalist.

IT'S OFFICIAL.

Don't forget to take your box cutter with you when you go, Seb ...

I see you're still focused on *people* instead of ideas.

I like the idea of an administration (any administration) without Seb Gorka.

The era of the alpha male is over.

MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes had some fun with the smoke that was still lingering as late as Monday evening from the small White House dumpster fire that was Seb Gorka.

Did Seb Gorka resign his job as a White House senior aide, or was he actually "terminated with extreme moderate prejudice"..? And what about the story that... well, let's not have a plot-spoiler.

You know you want to play this brief (3 minutes) online video segment. It's from the Liberal Fake News Media You Love To Hate.

All In with Chris Hayes; MSNBC; Monday, August 28, 2017.

So you say, however you're the sole posterboy girl for that claim around here....and a lot of other places.

Obviously you're also STILL fixated on people rather than ideas.

Perhaps I should have typed "alpha male" (with quotation marks).

The era of the "alpha male" vs the era of the alpha male.

The quotation marks signify the irony, as conveyed by the brief video segment from MSNBC's Chris Hayes.

Would you please pry the parenthesis and quote keys off your keyboard?

They do not help you make your points because they are distracting to read.

Thank you.

No Shadeball.

Quotation marks are universally recognized to be used to indicate when someone is actually quoting someone.

Like this:

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." Eleanor Roosevelt

Why is it that you lefties are so damn fond of trying to redefine language ?

There are so many *isms on the left, racism, sexism, socialism, communism, but the *ism most used by leftists to try to mask their true intentions is EUPHEMISM.

They do this because things like Gay Progressive just sound so much more palatable than what it actually is: homosexual socialist.

Euphemisms. Ah... that rings a bell. I guess I'm just one of Seb Gorka's "pajama boys".

But I swear, I'm not wearing pajamas at the moment.

What I like about that video segment from Chris Hayes--my latest product promotion--is that it starts with Seb Gorka on-air and saying what has to be, if not the single stupidest thing he (Gorka) ever said, then one of the stupidest things he ever said.

There. Just a single instance of quotation marks, and a single instance of parentheses. And the underline or underscore format. A nod to the feedback from Ray Otton.

What you call a nod looks a lot more like you mocking him and showing your middle finger by explicitly doing more of what he counseled you against.

Not surprising though.

It makes me think that perhaps Ray Otton is reading my words on a cellular phone or some other mobile device.

Nope.

Your crap is still crap even with "the luxury of a full-size desktop monitor display".

[This message has been edited by randye (edited 08-29-2017).]

I was not trying to give any kind of middle finger to Ray Otton in reaction to his remarks about my use of quotation marks, parentheses, or any other stylistic idiosyncrasies of my online messaging.

Aside from that... bla bla bla.

[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 08-30-2017).]

FWIW, I didn't feel like I was getting the finger.

While I disagree with 90% of your thoughts, I am willing to read them if they are, in fact, readable.

Some might call me a grammar Nazi. However my contention is that if anyone wants their opinions to be read they should make an effort to use proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling.

Chalk it up to Sister Mary Immaculate if you want to, but she had a point. Clear writing indicates clear thinking.

Now, let's see if we can find something else that we agree on.

I'm getting used to it, God help me.

quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: But my frustration has entirely everything to do with the constant and non-stop discussion from the left that everyone they dislike is part of the NAZI party, or is racist, or is misogynist or anti-gay.

It seems to be all or nothing in their eyes, you didn't get the memo?
You are with "the left" or you are a "Nazi". If you are a Nazi you need to be silenced and eliminated from the picture.
Or maybe you just have the wrong color skin, or shaved you hair too closely.

What's the left?
He pretty much wraps it up between the 1:00 - 2:00 mark.
With more detail later.

I'm not here, in this particular thread at least, to be agenda-driven, or ideological, or to try and put a big hurt on the Trump administration.

From the very top (my first post; I started this thread), I have been kind of tongue in cheek. I like watching a good train wreck, and that describes Sebastian Gorka to a "tee". From Day One of the Trump administration, Mr--or Dr, as he prefers--Dr Gorka has been paid something north of 100K per year to serve as a senior aide or counselor to President Trump.

According to the reports that I have read--and anyone is free to dispute this, but according to what I read--Dr Gorka was supposed to help President Trump in crafting strategy and tactics under the category of Foreign Relations and National Security. Dr Gorka was billed as an expert and a deep thinker about how the U.S. and its allies should best go about the very serious task of defending against the Islamic militancy and radicalism that has reached just about every corner of the globe; some corners of the globe, more than others.

I don't think he was ever granted the kind of national security clearance that would be essential for him to perform in that capacity. I guess President Trump could have just bypassed the standard process that is in place and personally granted Dr Gorka a high level national security clearance. I don't think that ever happened.

But whether that happened or not, I am here to say that I have never read of or viewed an instance where I thought Dr Gorka made any sense. I thought his public remarks after Trump's first trip to Europe were the epitome of an azz-kissing sycophant, worthy of one of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's minions. I offer everything that I have posted about Dr Gorka in this thread, from the very start, as my basis for calling this man out as a joke. A clown. That's the word that Richard Painter used. Anyone could Google on Richard Painter or Richard W. Painter.

I especially recommend the brief video segment that I just posted, several messages backward from here, from MSNBC's Chris Hayes.

I don't hate Sebastian Gorka. I did not and do not call him out as a Nazi or as any kind of antagonist towards Jewish people or towards Israel. I consider him anti-Islam and anti-Muslim, but in a totally stupid way.

His remarks about Islam and about Muslims are 180 degrees out of sync with the thinking that has been reported from the current White House National Security Advisor, Lt. General H.R. McMaster. He has described Shia Muslim jihadists as Pepsi, and Sunni Muslim jihadists as Coke. Or the other way around. Hey--I could have been put up in front of a microphone and said that myself. It's a great opening line, but after that, Dr Gorka has nothing sensible to say about these issues. If it were baseball, he would never have been called up from the most basic (A level) farm club.

I am pleased to see him go. That's a plus--albeit a small plus--for the Trump administration. The new White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly--John F. Kelly--has been doing some housecleaning. I clap my hands like a baseball fan in the bleachers and shout Way To Go, Kelly. Way To Throw That Bum Gorka Under The Bus.

Seb Gorka was a little train wreck. A small White House dumpster fire. Now the air has been cleared of that acrid smoke. Hoo-rah.

Sister Mary Immaculate is impressed with your improvement, however there's still work to be done.

A solid B.

Interesting way to put it.
Though many would say agendas and ideologies are inherently sort of behind the scenes.
