    She sounds like what she is.....a Dingbat that some beta male took pity on her, and married her. Only in Californification, huh?

    Thanks, I knew you could do it... Men being feminists is, in your opinion, what makes a man an alpha. That's why you keep losing. Y'all are pillow fighters, bro.

    snowflake - someone that thinks they are unique and special, but really are not.

    beta male - An unremarkable, careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the Alpha male.

    Liberal men wear capris and skinny jeans.

    Antifa is violent and loud around all their hundreds of ilk, but approach a small group of them face to face and they'll tuck tail and run.

    There's nothing alpha about the beta male snowflake pictured below.

    That's a compliment according to how you define betas... Eh, forget about it. I wouldn't admit it if I was engrossed in the party of beta males either. You're embarrassed, I get it.

    This again? That was one guy. Not the entire RNC. Although the way the left has been acting for 2 years, I can confidently say that it might be a while before another democrat becomes president. You guys better find a new message and drop the whole "I LOVE AND WELCOME EVERY MINORITY IN THE WORLD" act because your own people are starting to call bullshit on that.

    I bet if we kept our doors open to Europeans only, Nancy's pea brain would ricochet off every millimeter inside her empty skull.

    She can talk for at least 8 hours straight, so I'd think this was more likely than not.

    Yeah this again; the "one guy" happens to be the speaker of the Senate. It's those little details that matter. You should take note that very few, if any republicans came out against what he said; instead they chose to march in lockstep with the good Speaker of the Senate. American got years of gridlock in the Beltway.

    Illegal aliens threaten to leave if Congress doesn't pass a DACA law

    Those ingrates in Congress had better behave -- or Alex and Daniela Velez are going to leave the United States.

    [​IMG]

    Folks, I hope it does not get any loonier than this.

    People who should not be in the country are threatening to leave if we don't let them stay in the country.

    As threats go, that is like being banned from Iran.

    Oh, how will America fill its need for entitled, self-righteous twentysomethings.

    "Alex and Daniela Velez have come to peace with the difficult choice they will need to make if Congress doesn't reach a deal for those covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by its March 5 deadline: They will leave the country," CNN reported.

    Daniela told the network, "Alex and I are both over this. If DACA ends, I will leave with Alex. I will close my business, leave work and school."

    I would say this is taking your ball and going home, except neither Velez owns the ball.

    The story goes on and on about her hurt feelings --

    They have dual Ecuadoran and Venezuelan citizenship. That sort of undermines the narrative that they were brought here as babies and know no other home.

    I trust there will be no deal.

    I also think the Velez family will still be here a year from now.

    That's why RESIST never gained any traction. Even us Liberals saw Michael Moore and Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro for the huge assed f__king hypocrites they are cursing at Trump like whining infant losers.

    When the Democrat Pres. Obama was busy with his 28,000 airstrikes a year, bombing Syria, pressing the British to be their ally for a 'no fly zone' there, a interviewer asked Robert DeNiro what he thought about it. "I'll support the President, whatever he ends up doing."

    Hollywood are nothing but venal cowards, they stand for nothing. Not art, not morals, but the worship of money.
    We didn't mind Taylor Swift showing up on TV to strum her twanger and sing live every once in a while. But she became like the rest of Hollywood, all this attitude, scowling at the camera, Swift is such cool, hot babe now (we're supposed to think, ugh!) - a money worshipping diva, who has to be on the cover of every magazine, reinvented not just as a country singer but some pop idol like Madonna, wearing horsehair wigs, hyped sex appeal, ego conceited with the clothes and too thin heroin chic look, Swift is another money obsessed camera hog, like the latest issue 12 Extraordinary People on the Vanity Fair cover.

    The chick who plays Wonder Woman ? (who cares) Nicole Kidman, who hasn't been in a decent movie in 15 years, and six other people you probably don't recognize. But Elitist Hollywood doesn't even have a shred of humanity left anymore, they are so removed from America is the social stratification of gated communities, penthouses and townhouses on their own island, one in NY, CA, CO, the Hamptons - no one no one can relate to their shallow flicks or their vain awards shows of self-worship. The theatres are empty. No one cares, chiefly because the players, they are so phony. :nod:

    Lying about me supposedly being homophobic just makes you look worse. When in a liar hole, stop digging.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but making jokes about an elderly woman's looks is only funny to the perpetually adolescent crowd. You know, Trump voters. That's why liberals don't do it. It's a grownup thing, so you won't be able to understand.

    My, my, I've really upset you this time. I'd better lay off the beta-brigade here now, for fear they might injure themselves.

    I'm still waiting for you to tell me what sockpuppets I'm running, being you said I was running sockpuppets. And the whole board is watching you evade.

    If you can't answer the question, you should man up, admit you made the story up out of frustration and butthurt, and apologize. That would at least graduate you from epsilon male to delta male.

    Same with Thirty6belowZero, since he's decided to embrace your cause.

    Why do I get so many epsilon-male stalkers?

    I love this meme because it basically defines ones historical ignorance

    Study history a bit and you will see that the two parties were essentially reversed during the 1800s. Republicans held what are today democratic policies and vise versa. In this respect we all essentially come from the same party if you think about it.

    So Pelosi went on a meaningless rambling rant......and illegal aliens are threatening to leave the US if they don't get their way........meanwhile Trump is offering to legalize 1.8 million illegals if they just give him some money to build a wall and do away with the silly-ass 'visa lottery'.........Good Lord.....you can't make this **** up........

    Yep, it does.
    A law is only good if it's followed and enforced.

    Ryan wouldn't put DACA on the table.
    The Ds in the senate put $360B up for defense. But nothing on DACA.
    Defense is also securing a border, yes?

    We've been over this before. In order for any law to become law the POTUS needs to sign it. The POTUS has made it abundantly clear that he will not sign any bill that does not include an end to the visa lottery, funding for the wall, and some movement toward the end of 'chain migration'.......but he is willing to grant amnesty to 1.8 million illegals. The Speaker of the House has stated unequivocally that he will not put forward any bill that the POTUS won't sign. The Dems response is to stomp their feet and give meaningless 8 hour speeches. Meanwhile the 'Dreamers' begin losing their status, their driver's licenses and jobs in less than a month.......if I were a 'Dreamer' I would be pissed at the idiot Dems...

    Yes we have, and you left.
    What has Paul put forward for discussion?
    No DACA, if that is what some Ds want in the discussion and he won't put it on the table what is there to negotiate? Even though trump said he'd sign for 1.8M DACA types.
    And there's $360B in defense.
    One isn't going to get everything, but if it's not put on the table, then no discussion or negotiating is going to happen.

    So putting this on the D's is disingenuous.

    It's been on the table since September.......the Dems just choose to act like petulant children and refuse to negotiate.......they will lose, but the 'Dreamers' will lose much more....

    Not on the vote tonite.
    DACA isn't in the Senate proposal. And ryan hasn't mentioned it.

    If dreamers lose, its because of the R's.


    ...Before Mr. Paul waged his assault on the budget deal, trouble was already brewing in the House, where angry opposition from the Republicans’ most ardent conservative members, coupled with Democratic dissenters dismayed that the deal did nothing for young undocumented immigrants, was creating fresh tension as the clock ticked toward midnight.
    Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader, told a closed-door meeting of House Democrats that she would oppose the deal, and said Democrats would have leverage if they held together to demand a debate on immigration legislation. But she suggested she would not stand in the way of lawmakers who wanted to vote their conscience.

    Technically yes, but the republicans engaged in surface bargaining on DACA so in essence they haven't agreed to negotiate.

    You've got to wonder -

    Were TV News and Hollywood always paid such a high premium to keep the mass media audiences so bloody ignorant ?

    Robert DeNiro front page headlines calling the Pres. every expletive deleted in some idiotic rant ?

    Jimmy Kimmel and Conan Late Night dweebs earning $12 million a year to keep Americans in a
    perpetual state of anti-intellectual stupefaction ? The richest movie celebs are Adam Sandler and
    Will Farrell ? NBC appears to be the stupefaction factory Friends, Jimmy Fallon, Seinfeld. I
    mean, in 1950-60's Americans had to suffer thru 50 Elvis, Lucille Ball and Bob Hope flicks ...


    But Hollywood seems to relish their new role in preaching the politics of mass stupdity for the Democrat Party - no matter how transparently feeble - (and unfunny) .

    Does Hollywood and the celebs w/ their overpaid d__chebag hosts expect the whole nation
    to become vain, shallow, cynical money-worshipping subservient lackeys like themselves ?


    Are Elitist Hollywood actors and music stars continually reinforcing shallow, subservient, messages to a money conscious, deluded people that this is the path to be happy and successful ?


    COME AND VISIT LUXURIOUS ...
