I'm surprised they had anything positive to say about it on NPR.
Generally they are decidedly anti-conservative in general,
not to
mention anti-Trump.
...

Yeah I know, but actually it wasn't bad. I'm sure it can be
audio
streamed. Most of their stuff is...


Righties typically don't like NPR news because it presents
issues in
great depth.
....

I listen to NPR. I guess I'm not a "rightie" like you claim I
am..


The posit was not about whether you •listened• to NPR news.

--
Posted with my iPhone 7+.

I know it's difficult for you to understand so I'll break it down a
bit.

If i didn't like NPR I wouldn't listen to NPR. I hope that's is
some
clarity for you.




My post stated that righties *typically* don't like NPR. Surely,
even in
the backwoods of Illinois, the meaning of typically is known, eh?

Every time I think you can't possibly be any more obnoxious, you
surprise me again.




I appreciate the fact that typically a lot of you righties resent it
when someone tries to be precise in the use of language and properly
qualifies a statement ...apparently it interferes with your core
belief
that all lefties believe one way and all righties believe another
way on
all issues.

Here's an example of precision: The justice department has admitted
that
Trump atty general talked to the Russians after Sessions testified
under
oath to the Senate that he did not. It doesn't matter what the subject
matter was of those discussions between Sessions and the
Russians...what
matters is that Sessions lied under oath...to Congress. He should
resign
and perhaps be prosecuted.

Spin that any way that pleases you.



Responded to in another post. BTW ... the Dem who leaked this story to
the NYT and Wash Post should also be brought up on charges for
unauthorized release of classified information.



For whistleblowing on a lawbreaker?


That's not whistleblowing. Congressional members who sit on committees
that handle classified info have a sworn, legal obligation to keep their
mouths shut. Break that oath ... out you go.


It's "classified"?, eh, so that Sessions could have gotten away with his
lies to the Senate confirmation hearing?


Thanks to spiteful Democrats in Congress the work of representing the
people and getting anything done has become secondary to their political
survival. Schumer, Pelosi, Franklin and Warren love to stir the pot in
order to make the new administration look bad. To hell with what they
were elected to do is their mantra. Let's undermine anything the
Republicans do that furthers the best interests of the citizens.

Went to the doc this morning because my blood pressure is slightly
elevated and they had put me on some BP medication a week ago. They
wanted to check to ensure the medication is helping. So far, it isn't
and they doubled the dosage. I told them that if I just stopped
watching the cable news networks my BP would be just fine.

My new name for congressional Democrats and the lemmings that worship
them: "The Despicables"


A couple years ago I stopped watching anything but the local news. I based this decision on the fact
that there was never anything, on any of the 'news' channels that actually improved my disposition.
My home page on the computer is https://news.google.com/. I can see what I need right there, compare
the manner of coverage, and keep in touch with what's happening.

Now my wife and I sit down with dinner and watch a movie or something enjoyable. Definitely an
improvement.


Even the local news is 70% weather and fluff, and 30% actual news.

Its sad, actually. One of the local talk stations has a host that
comments on how sad it is that its rare to find a reporter that actually
does research into a story rather than just write based off of press
releases an rumor.


I don't watch much of the local stuff either. The weather comes from:
https://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin...ws:KVAALEXA132
which satisfies most of my weather needs.

This "rightie" was going to votefor Bernie till I saw the damnable dishonesty of what tour DNC did to double cross the man. Betrayal of a high order. IMO!
Now keep guessing on who I did or didn't vote for..


Tim! Were you *really* going to vote for Bernie?


I effeminately had him in my sights, John. He is a good man, and though I don't agree with some of his policies, I was willing to give him a break, besides he is very likable..

I didn't like Clinton, and I didn't like trump. So Bernie seemed to be the most experienced person for me to vote for.
He had an amazing following to the point that by states, he had more electoral votes than Hillary. I thought he' receive the nomination. I really did. Then the powers that be thought that she should have the ticket, o they screwed Bernie out of his ballots and gave them to her.

That was one of the most outrageous and dishonest things I've ever experienced in my voting life, and it showed me a lot about how the DNC actually worked. "The end justifies the means" or equally appropriate- “The result justifies the deed.” By then, I was disgusted with the whole process. I, as well as some of my friends thought that if they'd do that to their own, what'll they do to you?

So now I was in a quandary and found I had 4 options. Vote for Gary, Jill, Trump, or don't vote at all. So take your pick and tell me what I did, or didn't do.

Btw, Harry's constant badgering as well as the tactless and backfiring comedy of that ninny John Oliver and others of their ilk, didn't really help their cause. Harry never did give me a comprehensive reason why I should have voted for Hillary anyhow...probably because he couldn't. I'd say mostly because I figure he thinks I'm some ignorant hayseed from 'flyover Illinois" and it wasn't worth his effort. Never heard one benefit from him, only insults if you didn't support Hillary's run for the white house. Way to go, Harry!

But Trump is the president, and like BHO, though I may disagree with him on things, he's still the president. My president.

Glad you asked John, There you have it.

Gary Gary Gary

I am sure he would know where Aleppo is by now and Weld is more
qualified than Pence to watch his back.

Sure, maybe Tommy Chong might be the head of EPA and he might have
Thomas Sowell at treasury but we wouldn't have dick heads in pussy
hats protesting on the mall.

RGrew176 March 3rd 17 07:07 AM

Fact is Sessions testified that he didn't contact them during the campaign, which was what the questioning was about (context!). He. of course, did have contact with them while doing his job on the Senate Armed Services committee.[/quote]


You nailed it. He was asked about Trump campaign connections to the Russians, not his. He as an active senator could talk to anyone he wished to speak with including the russians.

He did not lie or mislead.

Uh-huh. And who knows what he said to the russkies...you don't know, and
neither do I.

The Trumpsters have issued at least 20 denials of various contacts with
the Russians, and they are all lies.

Now you sound like the Washington Post.

"He could have given the russkies the nuclear missile codes and the submarine message authentication
codes."

You more and more deserve the name 'Despicable Progressive Liberals' (The 'F' is redundant, and not
nearly as accurate as 'despicable'.)

Thats how I saw it, John. I thought that Bernie was probably the most honest of the two candidate choices. and what gets me is the majority of people who thought it was a good idea to give his electorals to Hillary are the same ones bawling and screaming because Trump was voted in by the Electoral college.

Amazing. I guess I should have gone out and busted up a Starbucks right after the primaries, huh

If Bernie had won, I'd have been much more undecided about whom to vote for.
