‘Tis interesting

When Trump makes a remark or a tweet, and the Republicans feel the need to bloviate make a comment on his words, it is often in opposition to The Donald.

Which is reported by the Media as “Even Trump’s own Party opposes him.

This is foolish and disingenuous….The Republican Party is not Trump’s party. They made that plain all the way until he was elected in November.

But the media can’t not take any advantage to damage TheDonald.

Lawyers making sure lawyers are employed….

Should be interesting in the courts today
Trump’s team is gonna appeal the stay on his immigration ban.

As he should.

While I am not an attorney, (and don’t even play one on TV), I haven’t heard nor seen any arguments as to why the stay should be legal, nor valid. Some say “unconstitutional”, but I don’t see that….and I have asked for explanations….But no one can seem to come up with any cogent argument as to why that is….Nor even why the lower court found any reason to give the decision that it did.

“Because” won’t cut it. Real, legal reasoned arguments will. And so far, besides emotion, I haven’t seen anything. besides the former. Nothing resembling the latter.

Superbowl (commercial) thoughts:


5:30 Central:

Coke commercial:
If you want to honor “America”, then sing it in American, not some other language. (If you can’t speak the language, you never gonna be a part of this country). THis shit doesn’t belong here. Advertise your product, don’t try social engineering…

5:34: Now, Ford understands…..They just told me why I should buy a Ford, with no social commentary.

5:43: Google gets it too.

5:55 Now the Skittles ad is FUNNY.
6:00 API pissed their money away.

So did GoDaddy.

6:05: #WeAccept…a nice message. Still, doesn’t belong here….Superbowl folks, not Kumbayah.
Yellowtail wines? Yeah, you wasted your money. But at least no social commentary.

6:13 The choice of spokesperson by T-Mobil is nearly as good as having Lon Horuchi give testimony on rifles……:

6:24. Tide. Nice.

6:29: Coke: Now that is a good commercial. No politics.

6:46 Alfa Romeo. Makes me wanna buy one.

7:09: 84 Lumber. Nice sentiment (you gotta go HERE to understand the whole thing) But breaking into the country isn’t a good start to begin your life in you new home, now is it?
Again: This doesn’t belong in the Superbowl.
I will remember this…and buy my home improvement products anywhere but 84 Lumber. No wonder Fox wouldn’t run the whole thing. This is, at best unpatriotic….

7:39. Audi has a great, inspiring commercial…..
Right up ’til the end. Then it pissed me off. I may have to go look at Alfas…
Social engineering doesn’t belong here…even if the message is good.

7:54 Funny, but I’ll prolly not buy a Kia Niro.

8:05:30….Nice…..Walking Dead. Works for me.

8:12….T-Mobil is hitting it after stepping on their crank at the first….and no social commentary.

8:19 Lite Beer. Nice. Even though they never told me why theirs is better. But at least they didn’t try to tell me why I should give up my country to invaders…..nor try to make me feel guilty for being an American….

8:31 Bud Light told me why I want to drink their beer. Works for me.

9:24 Congrats Patriots.

9:30 Hyundai. Nice commercial. Classy.

Overall, the commercials were not terribly entertaining, nor original, nor funny. Some did the job….I remembered the product and the name and others made sure I wouldn’t buy that product or from that company. The social engineering , for me at least, backfired.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that these folks can spend their money any way they want, up to the FCC limits and to the limits that Fox will allow….That First Amendment thing and all….

YMMV.

A thought for

All of you folks who like to toss around the word ‘Nazi”….
Especially those who use it for Trump and his supporters, or Right wingers in general.

I’d like to see even one example of Nazi-ism. Seriously. You toss it around, but you won’t back it up.

The Right leaning folks aren’t acting like Brownshirts, we aren’t eradicating you because you have a different race, nor religion, nor gender appeal, nor sexual identity. For the most part, we follow the law….. We are not frying people or beating them because we don’t agree with your lifestyle…..We haven’t penned you up because you don’t meet the norms…..And you are still alive to use the word “Nazi”….Trust me, if those you care calling “Nazi” were, in fact Nazis, then you’d have a hard time complaining because you’d be dead or imprisoned awaiting death…..

Whereas the Left has nothing but hate for those who are different from them……They bash out windows everytime someone who is different than them or has different views tries to speak, they loot, they burn, they threaten violence and death. They don’t seem to follow the rule of law, instead depending on numbers to let them get away with their violence and disregard for others. There is no tolerance for those who are different than they are. They use a lot of terms that aren’t true, and make false statements (“against the Constitution!!!” when that thing isn’t) and generally lie…. and people hear those words and believe in an unthinking manner…..Much like the happenings about 1938 and 1939……

So, again, where is the validity of the comparison to Nazis? How can you legitimately compare the Right to the National Socialists of Germany? Do you even know what the word means? Do you know enough history to even know what you are saying?

Or are you just parroting the words your facebook acquaintances are using to feel like part of a group? Following in and wallowing in the GroupThink and the crowd?

I’m waiting to be convinced I am wrong….

ETA: Read THIS too…

Activist Judges

So Trumps “Muslim immigration Ban” (which isn’t a ban, and doesn’t target muslims, but hey, let’s not quibble over the truth) has been (temporarily) stayed by a judge in Seattle. On a Friday (of course).

The temporary ban will likely be overturned.

It is my belief, that in cases like this, if a judges order is overturned they should be  temporarily removed from the office of Judge pending removal as a judge permanently  after case review by the judges who overturned that decision. Give them a chance to explain their reasoning and justify their decision…

Judges can make such decision with no consequences. There should be consequences. They have HUGE power, and it should be used well, and sparingly and with good conscience. Too often, judges fail to do the latter.

If they had the possibility of being removed as a judge, they might well think twice before making such decisions.

How many

Feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?

They Never Will. They’d rather march and blame men…Because “Patriarchy”. The bulb will stay dark, but there will be calls for legislation and eventually a government commission that will result in no change in photon output…..

Go ahead, tell me where I am wrong…

Gah

How does one deal with a person who is so totally party loyal they that they simply cannot look at any issue outside of “Political Party” and “What I read on Facebook”. Not stupid, mind you, but really unthinking… Just a sheep following the herd. Parroting the party line because others do it.

Especially when it is a family member.

So far left they couldn’t see the center if it was lit with flares. And they can’t even understand that.

You really need

To read this.

Read it all. 

Follow the links.

Take the time.

If you can, (and can get them to read it) show it to your liberal friends. They won’t like it.

But this is something that needs light to disinfect.

Not that it is a surprise to any of US, mind you, but the level of detail in the Soros plan is….scary.
