The last century ended with 20 years of above average to excellent presidents in my opinion.  Apparently, the first 20 years of this one are supposed to even that run out...

Trump has been bankrupt many times, I guess that can be considered knowing business

Yes, just like our country is drowning in a sea of debt.   But you know what?  He's come back every time, and is rich again.   Failure can be a great educator.

After 8 years of mistakes by Obama, and his justice department that won't charge Any of the many illegal activities that Govt employees have done, having a president that does nothing might be an improvement.

He;s come back because he did;t have to pay his bills. He received a bailout, a chance to start over

I agree, except over half are Republicans and they still haven't done anything, or if they did, I missed the press release.  

You know, the last time I think there was any cooperation between R & D was when Bill was president and the R's had congress.   Now they're like putting a cobra and a mongoose in a cage - fights on.   It's frustrating.

Me personally, I don't want any cooperation between Republicans and Democrats, because the only time they compromise costs us money in the form of "I will give you this is you give me that". The only comprise I want to see is "I will repeal this if you repeal that".

This is exactly how nothing gets done.

We don't need things to get done. We need things to get undone.

Exactly right...too many folks are looking for the fed gov to do all things for them, when there are only a handful of responsibilities they should have...big ones, but very few.

Folks are also programmed to believe it will be catastrophic if it shuts down...sad place we have reached.

You're right steve.  I'm hoping for two miracles.   First, that Trump wins.  Second, that he exceeds my expectations.   At this point, I doubt he wins, but I sure didn't think he'd win the nomination either.  And the fact that a rich, arrogant, businessman from New York, swept most of the southern Bible Belt, where most think d@mn yankee is one word, is beyond belief (and says volumes).

Are you saying that the majority of people in the states Trump won in the south are racist, ignorant, and stupid?

BTW, ignorance and stupidity is not a sin, nor disqualification for being a Christian.

The debt has climbed more during the Obama years than under any other presidency. 

I may have misheard, but I thot under Obama it had increased more than all the others combined.   Either way, quite a legacy.

And all liberals are pedophiles. I never met a liberal that I didn't see staring at a little boy at one time. Humm, I wonder what y'all were fantasying about.

Keep throwing out the insults and I will reciprocate.

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      By tvc184 · Posted

      We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

      Even More From The Friendly muslims!

      Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...

      Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
