George ‘Poppy’ Bush is for the ‘New World Order.’ Haig has the quaint notion that he’s Reagan’s man. This is supposed to be Reagan’s foreign policy, more conservative than what Bush wants. There are two different executive orders sitting on Reagan’s desk. One giving authority to Haig. One giving authority to Bush…Then there’s an assassination attempt on Reagan and he comes back, three days into his hospital stay he signs the order putting George Bush in charge of the machinery.”agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-90800049109227000312016-07-17T18:25:00.594-04:002016-07-17T18:25:00.594-04:00Hinkley's family was close friends with the Bu...Hinkley's family was close friends with the Bushes.

The Dem elite circles have become so enslaved to non-white ID politics (primarily because it means successively greater electoral dominance as the country darkens) that we need a good 20 year (at least) moratorium on Dems in the White House.<br /><br /><br />We need at least two things to diminish poisonous efforts to flood America with foreigners and enable bitter blacks. First of all, soaring crime and terrorism rates that are so disgusting that the majority of liberals don't dare defend soft on dangerous people policies. Secondly, a reduction in rootless liberal striving and overall fragmentation/alienation. If people had a stronger sense of bonding with their home and their people, we wouldn't see the kind of flippancy and self-loathing that we've got right now with so many Gen-X and Millennial whites. We're way overdue for huge swaths of pencil neck white post-Boomers to start identifying more with their uncle/grandpa and less with Muhammed, Tyrone, and Jose.<br /><br />We know Boomers aren't shy, and hopefully Gen X-ers (later ones in particular) and Millennials won't continue to squelch the vigilance of elders by just screaming "Trump is a RACIST" crap over and over again.<br /><br />Obviously the GOP has some sell-outs, but I don't think they match the malignance of Obama/Hillary. "Our" president is openly sympathizing with blood thirsty parasites. The black militant wet-dream of open warfare with the cops (and hence, the "white" establishment) is being fulfilled largely because of decades of media cheer leading and entitled blacks being given too much power.Ferylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-9951710085853514132016-07-17T09:37:26.494-04:002016-07-17T09:37:26.494-04:00One of the more persuasive pro-Pence arguments I&#...One of the more persuasive pro-Pence arguments I've seen is that he's meant to appeal to mid-Westerners and attacks on Pence will be seen by that portion of the electorate as personal attacks on them. <br /><br />Helps motivate them toward bigger turnout, especially throughout the Cuck Belt.<br /><br />PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-4696008917344313312016-07-16T19:50:13.146-04:002016-07-16T19:50:13.146-04:00Settle down -- it doesn't show insincerity.

He may have already explained it to Pence himself, putting him on watch, saying what would happen from the Trump family and political colleagues if anything were to happen to DJT and then Pence began undo-ing his agenda.<br /><br />Without impeccable assassination insurance, Trump won't be leaving the White House very often, which may let him get more work done.<br /><br />Anyone who says this kind of insurance doesn't matter, that the VP is a mostly ceremonial role, etc., has forgotten that Trump has already been the target of an attempted assassination in Nevada, and perhaps as well at the Dayton OH rally where that guy rushed the stage.<br /><br />Ditto for insurance against impeachment by a renegade Congress at any time during his administration.<br /><br />I don't think Pence affects the electability of Trump or his ability to govern as Pres.

I wonder if they planted the Pence hype to see how it would be received. Maybe it didn't get the expected enthusiasm. I definitely think that team Trump is reading alt-right blogs and forums.<br /><br />Pence is at least from Trump country (e.g., established before the late 1800's), as are the other candidates. We need to stop concerning ourselves with the Lutheran belt and the plains/mountain shallow flakes (Trump is polling pretty bad right now in Colorado) and get to work on tipping old-school states toward Trump. Choosing a Sessions or Gingrich would work too in terms of sending a message that we've got to put the East back on it's feet instead of shrugging our shoulders as strivers head to Texas, Colorado, Cali etc.<br /><br />One possible benefit of Pence is that he's from the rust-belt. If the VP pick is supposed to help tip states, then it makes more sense to pick someone from the battleground studded midwest. A pick from out West isn't going to do anything for Easterners, while a pick from the South is unnecessary since Trump has the South locked down. And the transplants in NC and Virginia aren't going to care who the VP is.<br /><br />By the way, there's an unusual level of angst towards the election this year in MN. A huge decline in bumper stickers compared to the previous post 9/11 elections. With Hillary embracing every loony PC issue (esp. the black stuff), and Trump boldly cutting out the culture war/religious crap, the Nordic and flake belt has nothing to fire them up. We might see a lot of either non-voters or 3rd party voters in these areas.

Journalists should be asking, "Why on Earth would Trump's VP be someone who was for amnesty when they were in Congress?" Or, "Why would he pick someone who loved NAFTA when they were in Congress?"<br /><br />Pence betrayed Trump before the Indiana primary with his quasi-endorsement, and Newt has publicly stabbed him in the back several times (while praising him at others). I think Trump was trying to bring those personal betrayals back into the spotlight.<br /><br />Publicly highlighting their failures and betrayals is a form of punishment for what they did wrong, and a deterrent to any other politicians not to get any funny ideas, lest they suffer the same public discrediting.<br /><br />Trump tries not to make points directly, but to let the audience figure it out for themselves, so they don't feel like they're being lectured, nor that their beliefs are just imbibing what the leader is spoon-feeding them.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the media and even 99% of his supporters are taking Pence and Newt totally seriously, and are not bringing their failures to light. I think he should have kept Sessions at least half-way in view, to alleviate concerns.<br /><br />Trump is not a naive baby, and knows damn well that choosing any Establishment figure would get him assassinated during his first year by the globalist elites. They learned from trying to bump off Reagan in favor of the globalist Bush -- this time they'd set off multiple bombs, not just fire a handgun.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.com
