#1  My favorite statement:

"He is standing trial along with 13 others, including the owner of a brothel known as 'Dodo the Pimp'."

#2  The only question I have is...

will the judge allow the pictures to be brought into evidence ?

Rep. Ken Buck: Washington completely disconnected from America
A politician finally speaking truth.

#1  Yep.

The more important question is the people of the United States willing to fight to bring Washington back in line?

So far it is looking like a no.

#2  Make DC a separate independent nation rather than a state? That or a Disney theme park.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 02/02/2015 12:15 Comments || Top||

#3  Yeah, there's a lot of nifty museums and monuments in D.C.

#4  GOP (especially the leadership) in DC is definitely disconnected - disdainful, disrespectful, and dishonest too.

#5  Make DC a separate independent nation rather than a state? That or a Disney theme park.

I would suggest a 1984 theme park but I doubt very many of the younger generation, who passed thru the education system, would 'get' it. And some would think 1984 is a pretty damn good idea.

How about we nuke the site from orbit and then make it a 'Fallout 3' theme park?

#6  I think 'Hunger Games' is a pretty good replacement for '1984' in today's world.
Posted by: Glenmore || 02/02/2015 16:08 Comments || Top||

#7  I suggest a theme park landfill.
Posted by: Besoeker || 02/02/2015 16:16 Comments || Top||

#8  I thought of Hunger Games - but if your one of the very-few elite it's a pretty sweet lifestyle - as long as you don't cross the line.

Fallout came to mind because it already has giant roaches and ghouls.

#9  They're not disconnected.They just don't care what the peeps want.

Africa North
Documents revealing the Hildebeest's AQ Benghazi gun running begin to surface.
I'd say it's about time. Perhaps this is part of the reason she has not formally announced her bid for the upcoming presidential election.

#1  She is only one of many that belong behind bars for this and other fuck up and cover ups.
Posted by: DarthVader || 02/02/2015 15:39 Comments || Top||

#2  Don't worry. Nothing will come of it.

#3  "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"

a lot

#4  The Bammer is the only one that could authorize + be held responsible for sending in a relief force to Benghazi, or in the alternate NOT sending in same.

There is no clear or substantive evidence that the Bammer did NOT know aout how dire the situation was in Benghazi - iff anything, what evidence there is points to the contrary.

AFAIC Hillary is about to be thrown under the Unitarian Globalist bus again, OSTENSIB TO SAVE THE BAMMER [again], BUT ALSO DIALECTICALLY AFFECTING HER POTUS RUN COME 2016.

Iff Hillary is going to be thrown under the bus again, I have to ask the question WHOM ELSE Is RUNNING IN 2016 THAT REQUIRES HER TO BE SO???
