    Was Roy correct when he said there was never any proof or evidence against him? Yes, he was.

    Did the entire manufactured outrage vanish exactly 1 minute after the polls closed? Yes, it did.

    Were leftist fooled, duped, scammed, conned, tricked, and intellectually abused by the hoax to steal a Congressional seat? Yes, they were.

    Isn't your party the supporters of Mexican culture /cough marrying age 14 and Islamic culture /cough marrying age whenever the man chooses? Yes, it is.

    Did you derail your own thread in the first sentence? Yes, you did.

    You realize there have been far, far, FAR more progressive cities and countries than those two places and those are the only two where pedophilia could be claimed (which you can't prove) to be a common fetish?

    If they allow a 15 year old to marry they defacto lose custody.

    Ha ha ha ha he he yha ha ! Have some cheese and crackers with your whine. You have got to be joking! The media is not making thecLying King look bad, he does that all by himself.

    So you think that all of the UN-Trump people are thugs! That is joke and a half. So there are young people who protest White Separatists. Well the protestors and the White separatists have a right to exercise their First Amendment.

    So you have been convinced by Trumpbots that Manafort, Flynn, Jr and Sonny In Law never met with Russians, then they met but only to talk about poor little orphan Russian hungry waifs who needed to be adopted, then it was to collect some dirt on that evil Clinton woman, then some other excuse.

    Yes we have become an embarrasment of the world but it was the Boy King who did that.

    Courage and wisdom! Ha ha ! What so courageous about a "man" who is afraid to stand up to Putin? Wisdom?! What wisdom is there in lying about the Druze of the innaugeration crowd? Lying about Muslims dancing on 9 11?

    Ho, hum. The left will always focus on “incidentals” and ignore the grander picture and more important truths and crises. That makes it game, set and match in their tiny little impenetrable minds.

    I don’t filter reality the same way you do.

    I was running a security operation for Vance International back in 93 in TN, which involved an under cover mission in to Matewan, WV, but that is for another time.

    One of the female security guards on a coal compound was telling us she was living with her boyfriend and her husband, whom she had married at 13 because her mom wanted her out of the house.

    The bill should have passed.

    Watch zbr6 act strange in the post below.

    And yet you could never prove it and the issue vanished the day after the election.

    At least one of the woman us suing the scum bag! The issue did not die after Roy lost he was not a threat since he would not have the power of office to prey upon victims.

    YES. All due respect vanity, but where were you for the last 6 years, let alone the entirety of Bill Clintons presidency? This game was invented and perfected by the right. There have always been political sides, and political theatre, but when Bill Clinton came into office the right started an entirely new game with entirely new tactics. And all of it driven by their complete and total disdain for Bill Clinton and nothing else. If he went to the bathroom in the White House they claimed he was “pissing on the history of the White House”.

    Then when Hillary took office they started in on her. They have taken the game to a new level. Look, I’m NOT a Hillary fan but what they did to her took politics to a very new low. The made accusation after accusation, and investigated her relentlessly for 6 years. They did that for one reason and one reason only, as the front runner for the Democratic Party they had to take her down. I was all in for the first 2, maybe 3 investigations of Benghazi, but it became farce in the 4th, 5th, 6,th 7th, and 8th. And those last 5 had a simple purpose, not to convict her, but to plant the seed that made her the “bad candidate” that we had today.

    Hell Vanity, their still investigating her to distract from whats happening in their own party. Their investigating her for “uranium One”, a deal she had absolutly no power in. Think about that Vanity, she had no power, authority, or ability to push the deal and their STILL trying to make it about her.

    And I’m sure that you and many other will read the above and claim I’m defending HIllary, but I’m not. It’s a condimantaion of the political theatre DESIGNED AND IMPLIMNETED by the right.

    I don’t disagree. That is the world we live in today, and I agree it’s disgusting. But on some level the right has to take come credit for their role in creating this beast. These kids today on the left who shout down public speech should have the asses handed to them for what they are doing. If you don’t like speech, come up with your own, don’t stomp the other guys rights out because you dont like what hes saying.

    But you also have to give Fox News some of the credit for the level of discourse we have today. They completely changed the game of politics in this country today. They do a masterful job of disguising ideology as “News”. They deserve most of the credit for turning idealogic bent into mental fact without qualm for its validity.

    The religious right sealed their own fate when they gave Trump their “passes”. It’s a game of equal standards, and when you change the level of equality, your no longer valid in the debate. It’s that simple. The “religious right” giving Trump a pass for his accused infidelities after what they did to Bill Clinton, and then when they went after Hillary as an “enabler” to Bills infidelities sealed their own fate.

    You sound like a religious person and I respect your right to that. Your faith is personal and something you carry with you as a personal badge of honor and I can completely respect that. So don’t misconstrue my disdain for the religious right who decides their faith based on politics first and religion second. And thats what the media is doing here

    I HATE hipocrisy with a passion. And what we see from the religious right, and the political right is just that. The media pointing that out isn’t the problem, the hipocrisy is the problem. This nation became and embarrassment in 2000 when Fox News fought all the way to the SCOTUS for the right to lie and call it “news”. We as a nation sat back and did nothing then, and today we listen to the “news” and swallow it hook line and sinker. It IS an embarrassment to intelligence, but one we brought on ourselves

    Seems like you're really happy that you can still marry a child and justifying it by stating that someone born 1500 years ago also married a child. BTW Mary was 12 when she got pregnant

    So .. if at 16 one is old enough to decide to get married (a very serious decision that will have considerable impact on their life) should this not also be the age where one can consume alcohol ?

    Happy, nope. But in this age of gender nullification and being one step away from being able to marry your farm animals, as long as your happy what difference does age make?

    I do like to distinguish between actions that entail personal risk vs those that entail risk to others.

    This is not to say that I am arguing against letting a 16 yr old buy a firearm (or arguing for it) .... just wishing to make this distinction.

    For certain though ... if someone at 18 is old enough to risk their life by going to war . ... they are old enough to risk harm by drinking alcohol.

    Our current law in this respect is an anathema to individual liberty, the Constitution, Rule of Law... and sanity in general.

    I wonder if the God who said though shall not commit adultery or inspired the letters of Paul would agree with that. Many who say they worship Him obviously do.

    Have you ever read this

    "Put to death, therefor, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion evil desire......On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. ...But now you must get rid of...abusive language from your mouth."

    Colossians 3:5-8

    the Apostle James was equally appalled by bad language

    Nothing there about tax cuts, immigration or other economic factors.
