The Spewing Trump-et

Donald Trump offers praise for Saddam Hussein at North Carolina rally

Reaction?   (in quotes below)

Iraqi town slams Trump for his comments on Saddam Hussein




My reaction? You know, there have been times that I thought, just wipe them all out. But at the end of the Great Tribulation, when Jesus returns for the first time (Rev 20—this is the first resurrection) He does wipe them all out. ALL of them. All of those who took the Mark of the Beast. How does He do it without killing those who had been sealed by God first (Rev 7)? He gathers them to Him (probably behind His army).

Here’s a letter from the gov’t of a city where Hussein “Oh, he’s using gas!” :

“Halabja penned a letter to Trump criticizing him for his praise of the late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, Rudaw reports. In July, Trump said Saddam was “so good” at killing terrorists, and in December said “Saddam Hussein throws a little gas, everyone goes crazy, ‘Oh he’s using gas!” mocking the assertions that Saddam had chemical weapons leading up to the 2003 US invasion. No weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) were ever found.”

“We would like to remind Mr. Trump that Saddam Hussein’s use of chemical gas in our city alone on March 16th, 1988 killed over 5,000 civilians, including children, women and men and wounding over 10,000 more,” the letter read.”

“In the 1980s and 1990s, Saddam’s forces brutally gassed Iraqi Kurds. Halabja was the site of one of the worst of these massacres in 1988, when between 3,200 and 5,000 Kurds died in a chemical attack, most believed to be civilians.”

“Trump has been a long time critic of the Iraq War, although records indicate much of his criticisms came after the war began.”

I can see why Petreaus, with the help of Mattis, would write the COIN strategy to prevent civilian deaths, but they did go a bit overboard with their ROE. If the enemy has a gun and is shooting at you, you have a right to shoot back no matter who is around. What? They didn’t hear his gun go off? Are they protecting him? Shoot him. If family is in the terrorists house, blow up the house.

“Mosul people feel relief, anxiety as liberation nears”


How would they feel if they had Hussein in power knowing that they could very well be gassed but can’t get out?


DT had better start listening to people and think before he gives a speech or Hildabeast will be in the oval office. Pray an old dog can learn a few new tricks because nothing has changed much.


Dolly Parton you are wonderful...

This morning while I was watching the news I saw many reports that I had endorsed Hillary Clinton. My comment about supporting a woman in the White House was taken out of context. I have not endorsed Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump. I try not to get political but if I am, I might as well just run myself 'cause I've got the hair for it, it's huge, and they could always use more boobs in the race. But seriously, I have not decided who I'm voting for, but no matter what we're gonna be suffering from PMS, Presidential Mood Swings.

2 things: DT and national debt

first and not foremost is my response to the DT open mouth about the Muslim soldier who died fighting the enemy and his statement that his grieving mother may not have been permitted to speak.

As a woman and a Gold Star sister, I have to be honest, DT makes everyone working for him sign a non-disclosure statement and his first wife is not allowed to speak about him publicly without his permission. Maybe I should hereafter use the initials DTT, donald tyrant trump.

Secondly, and foremost to most, is the national debt and the economy. There are a few knowledgeable congress critters who are actually trying to stick to a budget and the Constitution.

"What the band of over two-dozen House members have accomplished during their short time in the chamber has been nothing short of remarkable for constitutionally-minded conservatives watching from outside and inside the Capitol building’s marbled halls."

“In just one short year, the House Freedom Caucus had a major impact on leadership,” the congressman writes, citing a budget that can no longer be “hijacked” out of committee by leadership and thrown into “smoke-filled rooms for the special interests,” the potential of billions of dollars in taxpayer savings."

Read about these freedom from debt fighters (freedom from theft fighters since those receiving the money are no better than those who ended up with the billions lost in Afghanistan and Iraq--hey, maybe it's the same people!):
