Trump signals his bluff on gun control with the NRA

[AustinN4]

I wonder what the press would do to LBJ today.

Probably what they should have done to him back then.

LBJ got a lot done (whether you agree with what he did or not, he got a lot done) by telling everybody exactly what they wanted to hear, blatantly lying his ass off, and doing whatever the hell he wanted to do, anyway. All the while, he was flying off to Texas to swim in beds full of prostitutes or entertaining his special secretaries in Washington. Yeah, they were actually on the White House payroll with the job title "special secretary". Their only job was to hang around, look pretty, and be at the beck and call of POTUS.

People act like Trump is a bad person. Perhaps he is. But it's not like we haven't previously seen plenty of unsavory characters to the highest office in the land.

LBJ got a lot done because he had blackmail material on many folks and was not afraid to use it.

This is all talk. Let’s see what kind of idiotic proposals get made, come close to passing, pass and what Trump does with stuff that gets to his desk. In the end I care about action, not gum flapping.

I live in constant fear that Trump is the kind of guy who will sign anything just to say he passed something. How ironic that we depend on the very RINO's that created the need for Trump in the first place to keep the bad stuff off his desk. I'm afraid that if he signals he'll sign an "assault weapons ban", which will always and forever get 100% Dem support and maybe 25-35% RINO support, the momentum might be too much for McConnell, who I don't trust to begin with, to stop.

He's playing with fire for no good reason. The vast majority of the blame for this latest shooting rests squarely on the shoulders of the Broward County sheriff who failed to take the warnings on this maniac seriously. We should be focusing on that, not playing "peek a poo" with UBC's and AW bans, or undermining the NRA when they're furiously trying to fight off the entirety of the left.

Guess all those emails we all sent yesterday had an impact.

Yep.

And every time he swings wildly, I ask myself -"is this better than Hilary?". And every time, I answer "YES".

But cruz wasnt on the ballot

He was on mine.

Yeah it doesn't, does it? Just like what was said in the "Trump backs Swinestein" thread, actions speak louder than words. I guess we'll have to see what transpires.

I'm still sending letters to Trump and all my reps to let them know how I feel.

There's nothing quite so satisfying as "pulling the rug out from underneath" an 82-year-old prune face, 'mIright?

I want Cruz on SCOTUS. I believe that's the most important and long-lasting impact he could have on this Nation's behalf. He would explode heads on the Supreme Court and it would be delicious to read about.

 

[Renegade]

Trump putting him on SCOTUS would be awesome.

How did that turn out exactly?

Absolutely spot on especially
If Ginsberg croaks!

Cruz won.

Then the rest of the country fucked up a good thing. But at least Texas got it right.

I believe (maybe foolishly) that he's on our side.

That said, if he's fucking with the dems, he's doing a horrible job of it. Needs to string them along harder.

did you not see pelosi next to him. I know the stewards had to mop the chair and floor after she got up. Any more and she would have fell over dead. Damn your right he should have went farther

yeah it was pretty intense.

i just don't think trolling them for 2 days was. effective. I think trolling until it fell apart would have been better

Pssst--that was Sen. Dianne Feinstein sitting next to him.

 

[easy rider]

I'll have to hold my reservations, I really don't like the pandering and much prefer the "tell it like it is" Trump. I like it better when he doesn't play politics.

 

[Shady]

You mean they are not the same

Doh its late for me
