Thank you - Happy New Year

Fox recently lost several days in a row to MSNBC in the ratings race

Fox host Sean Hannity has lost 20 percent of his nightly audience since the midterm elections.

but you know what...they stifled their distrust and hatred of Russia. All it took was a few billion dollars.

even jindal could get elected

It wouldn't be the first time.
True, back when this article was written he seemed like an unlikely candidate, but a lot has changed since then.

1) For starters, Trump has been nothing but bad news for Republicans since day one, and with each passing day
it's only gotten worse, and there's still a lot more to come.

2) Despite what some may think of him, Mattis is a very capable, intelligent, reasonable and likeable person... a rarity
in the republican party, and even rarer for someone that worked for the Trump administration.

3) Mattis's reluctance to run for the Oval Office two years ago was before he had any idea of the way things
would turn out since Trump took office, especially now with Trumps insistence that troops be withdrawn
from unstable regions against Mattis's advice.

4) Given #3, Mattis now has an ax to grind, and I do believe he has serious concerns about our
security and military presence abroad (not my beliefs mind you, but just thinking how a former
takes no shit Marine Corps General sees things).

It's impossible to say whether or not Mattis would reconsider his previous stance about running
for office, or that he would even win the nomination if he did run. But, do not be surprised if his name
is brought up by the R leadership as a potential contender.

The name commands more respect from the troops than 'General Snuggle Bunny'...
especially a Marine Corps general.

The South Korea prediction is especially disturbing.

It's not just having the people leave but we would have to remove all of the equipment and dismantal all of the bases. This would take 3-5 years.

Now, 45 could announce that we will leave SK but I would think the military would drag its feet as no one in the Pentagon would agree with this strategy. And, where would the extra money come from to execute on this initiative.

The bases and probably a significant of amount of arms and equipment could be handed over to the ROK
forces, while we retain any nuclear arms, advanced tech and air superiority fighters.

I believe this is a common practice as it could actually cost more to bring the equipment back than
what we have invested in it. It would also allow the SK's to retain at least an adequate level of
defense capabilities, and not leave them totally high and dry.

SubGenius is the only religion that matters. Praise boB.

But I'm watching you. ;P

They are like the Japanese, now. It’s not development, just assembly of them.

it would take leaves them vulnerable, no?

He won't say he's not going to run again until he's milked his supporters for every dollar they have. Then he'll take his campaign war chest to Mar-A-Lago and laugh to his rich friends about how smart he is.

And they'll turn their backs on him. Who wants to be around a boor if you can't get anything from him?

I posted about this a week or so ago. Inside the White House they are saying (to NPR's Mara Liasson no less) that if he loses on this shutdown/$5B part of his base may become disillusioned and not show up.

Other than that - the damage from Mueller is done, regardless of actual charges. Trump's big problem is that he won't STFU. He provides himself his own rope. People are frankly tired of it.

Our biggest concern should be voter suppression not fatigue.

He backed himself into a corner in an Oval Office.

From a negotiation standpoint you always allow some wiggle room (for all parties involved) and from a political standpoint you never make things binary
