4. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

This is where he fails...as do most career soldiers/marines/whatever.

Whack jobs do not understand the idea of getting sick of the killing.

I like a lot of the sayings, true or not, attributed to this guy. But to put the above quote in the top 10 displays involes an ignorance than goes back before Vietnam...and many generations before that. :coffee:

Meh...not surprising and it would have been something similar under Hilldog. :nod:

"Steve Mnuchin is the Forrest Gump of the financial crisis — he managed to participate in all the worst practices on Wall Street,"

"He spent two decades at Goldman Sachs helping the bank peddle the same kind of mortgage products that blew up the economy and sucked down billions in taxpayer bailout money before he moved on to run a bank that was infamous for aggressively foreclosing on families."

I don't think Warren is being fair to Forrest here.

Yeah, well the Dept of Housing and Urban Development is a worthless cabinet level agency. In terms of federal agencies that don't need to exist at the cabinet level, HUD ranks #1..
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..

Oh, I agree that you need to kill every one of those fvckers. The problem with the quote is if he actually believes that they will get sick of the killing and stop. They won't ever get sick of the killing, so that is a dumb quote.

What you have to do is not only bomb the heII out of any jihadist, but you also have to have the balls and political will to cut off the head by going after the mosques and the countries that support those mosques.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Ret. Gen. John Kelly to head the Department of Homeland Security, a senior transition official tells CNN.

The former head of US Southern Command, Kelly was previously responsible for managing security threats posed by criminal drug networks based in south and central America -- an issue that Trump highlighted in his campaign, and to which Kelly would bring unique

If Giuliani isn't DHS Sec, then he almost certainly will be Sec of State.

Romney got punked. I love it. :lol:

Actually, he could still be in for all I know, but I hope he gets punked.

I'd still rather have Romney as SOS than Giuliani - Giuliani just seems like he's lost a couple of steps. He's not aging well.

Agree on Giuliani. If a comparable alternative to Romney exists though, I'd be glad to see Mitt snubbed. You just don't go full retard on somebody like he did to The Donald. Perhaps The Donald simply wanted to see him crawl around for a few weeks asking to slob knob as reparations and he'll let him take the job. We'll see.

I'm actually in favor of Romney because it would really go a long way to show that Trump is moving forward and really trying to mend fences (or walls if you will). Being magnanimous is a pretty cool attribute.

Don't get your hopes up. The Donald actually called in to The Today Show this morning to complain about Alec Baldwin being mean-spirited in his impersonation on Saturday Night Live. Those are the flashes of stupidity that need to go away with the quickness. Pence needs to pre-approve everything The Donald does. It should be mandatory. Twitter access needs to be completely removed.
