This is is ALL speculation on your part, but that doesn't surprise me.

The Evil Genius Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 At least they can end the canard. It was always a self labeled fake term anyways. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-republicans-no-longer-care-family-values-article-1.2950482 KING: Republicans can never say they care about family values again for embracing Trump and shunning the Obamas Quote I'm stumped. For my entire life, since before I could even vote, I have repeatedly been told that what the Republican Party values most is character, integrity and wholesome family values. It was my understanding that morality was the bedrock of the Republican brand. Nothing, I thought, excited a Republican more than a good, clean educated Christian man married to a good, clean educated long-haired Christian woman except such a couple with cute young kids and a reputation for honesty. It was my understanding that this is why Republicans chose to reject Bill Clinton in the form of electing George W. Bush over Al Gore. Clinton had been impeached after he was caught lying under oath about his affair with an intern and the nation, it was said, wanted a clean start with a good family values President. In retrospect, putting all of my problems with his policies aside, Bush was indeed the stereotype of who and what Republican's claimed to value in a leader. His wife was a kind librarian. He had two cute kids. He had a reputation for honesty and decency. Doggone it, he fit the brand. You know who else fits the brand? And I mean spot on. President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Dr. Jill Biden. They entered the White House with impeccable integrity and are leaving the White House Friday with said integrity fully intact. They are honest, sincere, kind, decent, gentle, grounded, compassionate men and women of reliable moral character. They are above reproach. They avoid scandals or even rumors of scandals. They play by the rules. They are faithful to each other. Questions of their personal character, morality and fidelity simply do not exist. For eight years, the personal and public integrity of our President and Vice President has been without spot or blemish. The threat of investigations or National Enquirer-type scandals has not loomed for a single day over them. It's been a beautiful thing to watch and experience.

Rskins06 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 17 minutes ago, PF Chang said: Trump's nominees are insane. I'd be pissed off if they didn't fight against a Secretary of Education who wants to funnel public money to religious "schools." If they didn't oppose the CEO of Exxon for Secretary of State. Or a fossil fuel industry minion who is suing the EPA, the agency he's going to lead. McCain, one of the few Republicans with integrity, opposed some of these nominations as well. There are real issues here, not just partisan crying like you want to believe. Opposing is one thing, obstructing is another. When Obama won, he won the right to bring in cabinet members who supported his ideology and policy desires. The Republicans did not delay these nominations because of that reason (like I said, they approved 7 the first day and an additional 12 the next week) Why is it different now? Trump won, he should be allowed to bring in a cabinet who shares his vision without obstruction from the democrats. Guess what, if his appointees fail, he fails, then in 2018, the GOP will suffer and 2020, everything could change again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This...this is the country we are now. Texas pastor who calls Islam ‘evil,’ homosexuals ‘filthy' to give Donald Trump private inauguration sermon http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-inauguration-sermon-rev-calls-islam-evil-article-1.2951078 Quote A Texas pastor with a controversial penchant for bashing Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and homosexuals will deliver a private sermon for Donald Trump and his family shortly before he is officially inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. Rev. Robert Jeffress, who fervently stumped for Trump on the campaign trail, leads the First Baptist Church in Dallas and announced Thursday evening that he will deliver the exclusive prayer session to Trump, President-elect Mike Pence and their respective families. "Honored to deliver sermon 'When God Chooses a Leader' for Trump/Pence private family service," the pastor said over Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Democrats who refused to have a second round of questioning for the nominees. It was the Democrats who limited the questions to 5 minutes per congressmember. It was the Democrats who didn't fill out all the required background disclosure documents on the nominees. It's the Democrats who are obstructing and being intentionally obfuscatory.

Rskins06 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Talking about nominees up for cabinet appointments being looked at now Which narrative is not factual? Obamas appointments being quickly run through confirmation process? Go back and look, you will see that is factual. No, Republicans didn't like it, however, they didn't drag out process. As to the Republicans obstructing the last 6 yrs (yes, 6, not 8 as Dems had majority of both house and senate for previous 4 yrs), I am grateful. This country would be much worse off today than they are. The great thing, by this time next week, many of President Obamas executive orders and policies will be reversed. If Trump and GOP fail, then in 2 yrs or 4 yrs, the Democrats will get another opportunity to lead. That is why this Country is great, if politicians fail us, we can change them when we have the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you agree that a sitting member of Congress should be able to buy a stock and then be in charge of legislation that can positively influence that specific company? Do you think that a nominee of a cabinet position should be well versed in the department they are going to lead? Would you want a commanding officer of yours to be extremely knowledgeable in any operation you may be working on or are you okay with rubbing stamping people? Your obstruction comment just shows you to be such a hypocrite. Oh, poor nominees shouldn't be obstructed in one area (they aren't being obstructed) while celebrating obstruction for 6 years.

I just watched a conversation online in which someone said that Trump's actions speak louder than his words and he was DEFENDING Trump. When I pointed out all his actions that haven't supported the American worker, his response was "that's when Trump was a Democrat." That is what we are dealing with now.
