    ...^^^no "word games" here... you were the one who singled out the Dems as "corrupt", not me...I simply pointed out that Washington in general is corrupt and not just the Democrats...simple as that.

    ...and Cali alone should not be used as a yardstick.

    I didn't single out DEMS, I was talking about CA regarding term limits. In this case, the DEMS used it to further corrupt and lock in single party rule. To be clear, the DEMS singled themselves out here.

    And hey, you can either learn for this yardstick or not. But when Little Rock urban population starts dictating everything in your great state of Arkansas, don't come bitching to me about because I'll say I told you so.

    You want to find fault with both parties and point equal blame at them, fine. Then we can agree to disagree because they are not remotely equivalent in corruption, criminal or values. Sorry to characterize it as a game, wasn't my intent to belittle your believe. Rather I complete and honestly disagree with your premise in total.

    1...^^^uhhh, yes you did;

    "yup....once a pol terms out, they trade places with another pol and if a seat isn't open they get appointed to some other govt role and then move back to their original post. its a revolving door of DEM corruption at its finest."

    ...sound familiar?

    =====================

    2. Sorry to disappoint you, but I've never been in Arkansas in my life...try again.

    =====================

    3. You "disagree with my premise"...wtf are you talking about now?....what premise?

    ====================

    4. Prove to me that Dems are any more corrupt than Republicans and I will yield...I'll wait

    ..."comrade"?...seriously?...so instead of backing up your claims with something factual and tangible, you resort to this?...very compelling.

    Loving Pompeo for CIA. Smart man, his Benghazi questioning of Clinton was brutal. West Point grad and Harvard law.

    Sessions as AG means we'll have a DOJ again. I hope his first act it to arrest mayor's fir sanctuary cities and charge them with aiding and abetting felons.

    Flynn is sold too. Not sure why all the talking heads are upset there...where was the indignation over Ben fucking Rhodes?

    Pompeo was great in grilling and hooking Hillary, only wish they had of gutted her like any other Fish....

    I was hoping Pompeo would be our next D.A., but the CIA Job, is a great place for him, esp. in lieu of his feelings/thoughts on Benghazi's fk ups....

    fry Rhodes with Hillary....

    The Warrior Monk for Defense Secretary; brilliant General, strategist and move....Mattis has long stated the Middle East biggest threat is Iran-

    in Gen. Mattis own words:
    • "I don't lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word."
    • "The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot."
    • "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you [expletive] with me, I'll kill you all."
    • "The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears."
    • "There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It's really great."
    • "I'm going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years."

    What do you foresee Tote, with Romney as Sec. State...? Your knowledge isn't as limited as mine...hell, a monkey could think for me at this point. But then monkey's beat human's into space...

    We know he was as vocal as any against the Iran Nuke Deal. Following the dog and pony shows of Kerry and Kankles, Mitt is slick, and hopefully won't carry suitcases of Cash Gifts to hostile countries, like the SoS predecessor's....

    Mitt is a sharp guy, saved the 2002 Olympics and that meant a lot of international wrangling. He was dead on right about Russia too. And as a saavy businessman he can protect US interests abroad. To me this signals more economic foreign policy than military. And frankly we need to economic windfall to rebuild and retool the armed forces anyway.

    Rudy isn't ready for SecState, better for Homeland Security.

    John Bolton is the guy I'd want for SecState in 2020 when we are ready to make Iran a parking lot, shove missile defense down Putin's throat and return artificial Chinese islands back to the sea.

    ^^^^ :clap: :devilwink: :smiley-marinesalute

    thanks Tote for the info. You've got a good grip on Politics brother...!

    I may of said this in a prior year: "My younger brother used to say: I'd not be a popular President, because I'd nuke Iraq and Iran into a Shell and Chevron Formation, and call each the United States of Shell/Chevron".....:biglaugh:RIP- DFM; 05 Feb. 2008

    ...yup...strange bedfellows these days.

    ...when Mitt meets with Trump again Wednesday, he'd better bring some kneepads along with him.

    Always like Petraeus, until - ......

    As (noted prior), the Honorable General would be a shoe in, for Dept. of Veteran's Affairs......
