Goodbye Lamar Miller
Though I never saw you get many carries
You had the skill to resign elsewhere
While the Dolphins look elsewhere
Now the Dolphins have to look to the draft
who can they find to replace you
Maybe some one else who will only get 3 touches a game
Though I really hope not
And it seems to me that a Utah running back might be a good idea
A guy like Devonate Booker …..hmmm hmmm hmmm
In 2014 Booker had 0ver 1500 yards on the ground
never needing more than 292 carries and averaging more than 5 yards per carry
In 2015 you had a few less carries
and still had over 1200 yards and close to 5 yards per carry again
23 total touchdowns on the last two years
and that includes receiving touchdowns
600 yards receiving and 22 reps on the bench press
we will have to wait until your proday to see you run the 40 .
And I would have liked to draft you
but I’m just a alien fan
a fan who sobs for Lamar Miller
If Devontae Booker was a alien weapon of destruction
he would be a Space Hankerchief, helping us get over Lamar Miller.
Watch his highlights here:
Finsmob Unleashed 
Good job Piggy.
He would be high on the Phins draft board.
I like Booker. He’s another one of those RBs who can be had outside the 1st rd.

9 News Denver’s Mike Klis disputes free agent Johnny Manziel’s recent claim that he is living with Broncos LB Von Miller.
“Super Bowl MVP, Von Miller, my brother. I’m living with him right now,” Manziel told TMZ. “We’re getting our lives together, bro.” Miller’s life is already together, and he isn’t living with Manziel. Miller is currently living in a Los Angeles home provided by ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. In addition to alcohol and/or drug addiction, Manziel appears to be detached from reality, or at least intent on trying to convince others he’s “getting his life together.”
That is weird.
Nice job Wedge/Piggy! Lawyer, blogger, songwriter, breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can do it all! lol
Was a good job. He’s not of this world….lol
Anyone see what’s been going on in Colorado over the weekend & elsewhere for months?
Don’t keep being fooled that you have a vote or that it even means anything. America doesn’t have free elections. It has paid for ‘selections’ !.
Welcome to the growing snowball of tyranny rushing down the mountain & we are at the bottom! SMH!
Ok ok, all you sheep back to your football, soap operas, sitcoms & reality tv shows. Nothing to see here. Don’t ask any questions it will all be fine. Just be happy boys & girls that you don’t live in Iraq, Iran, or Somalia. See, feelin better already….. (rolling my eyes)!
Stop voting for one of the two major party candidates and expose them. Been saying that for years but the lesser of two evils wins out most of the time with most people. It’s the people’s fault, we allow it to happen.
People’s fault? Yes & No. You got the congressional insiders changing the rules as they go along, leaving the people helpless. Voting another party like Independent doesn’t faze the establishment. They’ll still get their guy/gal in the puppett seat.
If they are going to continue to rig elections, then there is little people can do, outside of huge protests in various non-violent forms. But a so called protest vote never seemed to work before.
We’re bent over a barrell bigtime, and it could get a lot worse. The steal is right out in the open now. They don’t care what we serfs think anymore….scary shit!
Iran and Iraq have elections. Be happy you don’t live in saudi arabia, bahrain, kuwait and other places that are ruled by our so called allied kings
No Iran & Iraq have selections like we’re experiencing in America. But I get your point about the other places & overall picture. Do as you’re told or get your hand chopped off. Still don’t listen, your head is next.
GD, we the people allowed it to happen then bitch about it. The protest vote which can be more than a protest vote is never large enough because people have been institutionalized. I’m a republican, I’m a democrat, I’m a conservative, I’m a liberal. Everyone needs a fuckin title like it’s a badge of honor. We did it to ourselves.
Wow, crazy!

Being over here I just read about the money it costs your country and I cringe at the waste it causes.
Costs our country to do what?
That vid was different. She was lucky
Tim…to hold your elections. The endless touring, the pursuit of trying to persuade people to vote. All it takes is for 4 super delegates to overturn the delegates majority anyway.
Oh yeah, it’s absurd, pathetic and disgusting. These are the people who then talk about doing what’s best for the American people. It’s a joke but we allow it to happen.
It’s become a heavily rigged and oft corrupt system.
Or in Bush’s case, a hanging CHAD!
I loved the Mexican President to Trump plans to build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it. The look on the female presenter’s face was truly priceless.
I love how Trump has rattled the cages of many a corrupt elite who fears their lil gig of fuckin the working class while they line their pockets, may be over if he’s in power.
Right bc Trump is not the most corrupt person in the planet or anything
The idea of going to trump to attack corruption is like going to hooker to attack promiscuity
Ok, you’re right. We should just leave it to the corrupt guys in the same gang that are already on the same page. It”ll be much easier for them.
Go Cruz, Go Hillary, Go Kasich….lol
Tim, agreed on people have become institutionalized. The brainwashing & indoctrination my friend has been by design for a looong time.
Now back to Jerry Springer & the Montel show….smh
It doesn’t work on everyone though if you’re a person who thinks for themselves.
Tannefraud must go, take me to your leader, what times does McDonalds open, where’s my Xbox, where’s my freebies, hail to Caesar.
response* to Trump
Im no fan of Trump but this primary has shown the corruption of both parties. I’d love to see the system broke up and some massive changes from both Sanders’ and Trump’s campaigns.
On to football, Booker would be an ok option. Not my favorite but probably in the top 5.
Yeah, Sanders has his delegates stole all the time. Trump is getting screwed in CO, VA, LA, ID, IA….yet he has a popular vote total near 2 million more than Cruz.
It’s a travesty on the American people to the ninth degree.
That’s kind of where I am because we can always fall back on the establishment corruption, we’re used to it.
LOL, right. The greatest thing about Trump’s run is the waking up of many Americans over huge & harsh issues, and now the reality of the rigged ‘selection’, and the depths to which the establishment will go to get their way….SMH!
Whether Trump wins or not, I thank him for his bravery to run & expose the lies, the deceit, & the tyranny that is slowly eroding our country.
GDP
Trump is one of the corrupt guys
You are not changing anything about the establishment by supporting trump
Somehow the fact the the guy has no history of public service and says controversial things to get attention has become antiestablishment to some people
I’m so tired of hearing trump described as antiestablishment bc the republicans haven’t accepted him
And I don’t understand that at all
You actually have to ideas against the current establishment and he has none
He has plenty of ideas. Stop spouting controlled media talking points & buzzwords. You’re above that my friend.
For starters Trump has laid out a 7 point health care plan. Cruz? Nope! What ideas does Teddy have? Oh wait, he’ll reveal those as he’s told.
BTW, keep your eye on the fraudster Paul Ryan & Mitt Romney….he’s the rabbit in the hat that will be pulled out during the corrupt brokered convention.
Tim,
In some ways, I’d love to see us have a system similar to many countries in Europe. They have like 4-6 parties with a voice in their government. Maybe have closer to a true democratic diversity. I know there would be logjams and issues but we already have that now with just two opposing groups. Maybe we would see more cooperation?.
That’s an idea. But the best way is to have term limits in congress & the SCOTUS. No lifetime medical & sweetheart pensions either. There needs to be real campaign finance reform too.
It’s an interesting thought but the two party duopoly makes sure that not even a third party can crack the system. The only way things will change is if the people shake it up.
GDP, I saw something about a select few head honchos in the GOP wanting Gen. Mattis. I don’t think it would happen but the rumors of different people are entertaining and enlightening too.
Later guys. Back to work
Paul Ryan is already campaigning while he says he’s not interested in being president. Much like he didn’t want to be speaker either….smh
Piggy, obviously you being a real estate attorney in NYC you know some things about Trump. Forget him as the candidate himself for a second, there is no doubt that a guy like him scares the shit out of the establishment. You can see it with the extreme propaganda they have put out there about him, both sides. That is very telling.
Obama recently reassured some of his biggest Hollywood supporters that Trump would not be his presidential successor.
Boston Globe and other papers are printing fake headlines & news stories about what life would be like when Trump is president…SMH
Moments after announcing that Ted Cruz had swept all 34 delegate slots at the Colorado GOP convention Saturday, the state party tweeted: “We did it. #NeverTrump.”
Within minutes, the tweet had been deleted.
Steve House, the Colorado GOP chairman, insisted his staff had nothing to do with the tweet and is now investigating.
“There’s no way we tweeted that,” House said, although he acknowledged that the state party was responsible for deleting it.
These MoFo’s are scared & disturbingly desperate!!!

True, as a 3rd or 4th party, you have many hoops & obstacles to overcome.
You aren’t even allowed in debates, conventions, or to participate in the fraud delegate allotments, etc.
It’s crazy!
BTW, this is why Trump ran as a Rep & not Independent or Libertarian. You think he’s getting screwed now, he would really be over there.
Remember Dr. Ron Paul, the longtime distinguished congressman of 22+ years? In the 2012 ‘selection’ as soon as he was showing some real momentum with the public behind him, he then suddenly disappeared.
You know it’s ironic, the propaganda used against Trump and the accusations of white supremacy is exactly the type of propaganda used by the Nazi’s against the Jews.
Bingo! Tim gets it! It’s the oldest rick in the book. Projection psychology.
Donald J. TrumpVerified account
@realDonaldTrump
I win a state in votes and then get non-representative delegates because they are offered all sorts of goodies by Cruz campaign. Bad system!
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!
Backroom “shenanigans” (as Trump characterized it), superdelegates, frontloaded primary votes, and orchestrated and limited debates will make certain the establishment presents two preferential candidates in November. The economy and the political system are rigged in favor of the corporate and bankster elite.
“I believe people understand that just as their economy is rigged, so too sometimes can be their politics,” former Maryland governor and sidelined Democrat presidential candidate Martin O’Malley said in December.
__________
Wise words from a Dem that got the shaft early on. By his statement, is it any wonder? smh
At home because our fence got blown down last night. So I can read sports while I monitor the repairs. 🙂
I’m gonna stay away from “in depth” politics as blogs rarely allow for accurate expression… HOWEVER…
We’ve been through this type of corruption in both parties before (The Gilded Age)… and it DID take a Populist third party (1892) getting 5% of the vote to cause the two major parties to become “reformers” in order to secure that critical swing vote. This led to direct primaries, 17th Amendment for direct election of U.S. Senators (the ‘millionaire’s club’ of the Gilded Age), the ability to use petition for recalls, initiatives, and referendums. The Gilded Age coincided with the transition of the U.S. from a predominantly agricultural society to majority urban (late 1860’s until the transition to majority urban was complete in 1920). We are currently in another transition of economy (only the second time such dramatic transition has taken place)… the sometimes awkwardly labeled “Information Age”. In both transitions we see those who made insane profits get “a jump” on using that money to influence a political climate that protects their interests. The parallels of our current climate to the decades before 1900 are uncanny. Like then, we are kept divided on lightening rod social issues. The lives of the middle class will not get better, or be maintained, without commitment to political reforms (our desire to not go to jail and lose our lives’ work makes this a challenge). Now, like the previous Gilded Age, working class people of the different major parties intellectually understand the anti-democratic nature of the connection between big money and politics… but we just can’t seem to get past those darn social issues that we are being told are the “real reason for economic problems”. I’m a firm believer in the need for single issue third parties as a source of needed long term reform… even if the short term there is disagreement with a candidate on other issues. For what it’s worth, I don’t think Trump is that guy (bragging that he will make a ‘profit’ from a presidential campaign for the first time in our history LOL). What I do like, is that this election cycle is stirring up “enough is enough” mentality of average voters of all political inclinations.
That was a good read. Well done, Rhino.
Rhino, nice contribution. Thanks for that.
Some point to this same era you mentioned as a beginning point of the big steal with the Organic Act of 1871 and the corporatization of the USA thereafter.
I believe the real reason for ‘economic problems’ is the private bank / FED. they manipulate interest rates, & freely print fiat monies. Thanks Wilson, you got dupped!
The big money, the ones who control it are the among the biggest powers that be and powers that DO, as they want!
Even the creation of the FED was an attempt to take control of interest rates away from big banks (i.e. Morgan after 1907’s severe recession). In the short term, the FED was an attempt to NOT allow a handful of private corporations have the potential to manipulate the economy that effects the public. For me, Wilson is one of those guys that inspire and disgust because he is a “of his time” (i.e. his belief in Eugenics). But to be fair, I’m not sure he should be demonized for the FED considering “his heart was in the right place”. 🙂
And they meet at secret places and wear silly hats. 😉
Rhino, sorry to hear about your fence. I guess it’s better than damage to house or life. Good luck with the repairs.
I guess it broke because I’ve been sitting on it so much during the primaries. LOL
LOL
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1828
trump is not getting treated any different than Adams vs Jackson. Jackson was a war hero and is probably responsible for the creation of 2 party system. Jackson won the popular vote but didn’t win, so he waited four years to finally defeat the establishment. His wife died 4 days after winning that election.
Oh there’s no doubt politics were dirty back then too. But we have to deal with it during our own time in history.
At some point maybe an asteroid will hit earth and wipe us and our shenanigans out. LOL
GDP
Just bc I don’t disagree with you doesn’t mean they are controlled talking points by the media
I know more about trump than you
I mentioned the trump university suit before anyone in the media spoke about it
And before Runio exploited it at a convention
The guy is a crook and has always been a crook
I’m not buying the trump antiestablishment line
I’m not buying he is a man of the people
His ideas are bullshit, he is among them up as he goes
Hes got know history of public service
His entire campaign is just a means to increase he value of his brand
It’s shameless
The media isn’t duping trump supporters
Quite the contrary
He is duping his supporters
The only reason the Republican Party has turned on him is bc they doubt his sincerity to the party
Which is a reasonable doubt as far as I am concerned
the guy has never been serious about politics
All of the sudden he wants to fix America bc he’s had enough
Okay…I beleive
When did trump get concerned with America
When he was filing bankruptcy for his casinos in AC and destroying the AC economy
When did he get so frustrated with The state of American politics?
When he was clearing a billion dollars in 2015
Sure
Trump has just the profile of the frustrated downtrodden American who is being suppressed by the powers that be and only cares about what is best for the Country
It’s not The media or the establishment that is duping Americans
It’s trump duping you
Trump critics are not the fools here
Trump supporters are
Calling trump anti establishment is laughable
He’s exploited the establishment for his own gain for most of his life
But it’s obvious you detest him so everything you say is extra critical and I’m not questioning your views or values, just that it’s apparent. 🙂
Yes I detest him
It doesn’t mean the criticism isn’t valid
I think people who support him are being really foolish
“His entire campaign is just a means to increase he value of his brand
It’s shameless”
_______________________
Gee, so Rubio, Cruz & other’s campaigns hasn’t been a means to increase the value of their brand??? C’mon man….lol
No all those people have been in the public sector their whole lives
They are committed to it
I might disagree with them on issues
But it’s not the same as trump who came out of left field to want to be president
It’s silly
Trump laid out a 7 point health plan 2 weeks ago
So now he is a plan?
Come on seriously
Where is the commitment to health reform before that?
Wha? He was busy working, instead of sitting in capitol hill voting present….lol
Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he’s been more like the no-show senator.
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business.
Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/ted-cruz-2016-senate-vote-record-117201#ixzz45Xfx2oUL
He came up with a health plan bc his presidency became a lot more serious and he will have to answer a lot more questions about it
He is hardly a staple of commitment to health care or Health care reform
It doesn’t matter what anyone else does
I’m supposed to support trump bc I hate everyone else?
You might fall for that – but not me
Trump is Americas richest and most vacate critic
Nothing more
Quit making him out to be more bc everyone else is so bad
Rhino,
Correct, Wilson was literally duped and felt bad about it afterwards. He was sold a lie as you mentioned above. Mostly the complete opposite happened.
Where was his exec order to reverse it? lol. Guess he wanted to live.
Many believe JFK was murdered also in part because he went against the central bankers, when he was signed an executive order that Wilson should have, with the authority to basically strip the Rothschild Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.
Same with Lincoln when he went against the Rothschild dynasty’s attempt to involve themselves in financing the Civil War in the US. Abe wanted America to issue ‘Greenbacks’ as our currency.
james booth was killed on april 26, my birthday and a day dolphins fans will remember with dan marino being drafted on that day.Interesting how long Booth was on the run but the governemnt killed several for their involvement and help.
Ok, enough ‘politics’ for now. Sorry if I offended anyone, but it’s a 800lb elephant in the room of our lives right now and what direction this precarious country may be headed. We are living in some times of huge historical implications…IMO. So it kinda makes it important.
Glad we can all have a civil discussion on the importance of things that will affect us both directly & indirectly for years to come.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming!
‘His entire campaign is just a means to increase he value of his brand
It’s shameless’
piggy,
i am sure this is true of all the bungholes running for the presidency but i have said this about trump from the get go. i dont think he is serious about wanting to be pres but more he is just using the platform to increase the value of his brand. i think he could careless if he wins or not and can even see him pulling out at the very end. he maybe just doing it for the publicity.
He is just going to put the word
Trump
In everything an increase the value…lol
The guy is big on branding
LMAO, the publicity of what? As a precursor to some other public office down the line? Being under the microscope, extreme scrutiny, ridicule, and danger?
Yeah, makes sense since he’s never been on tv or been able to afford to market himself before. (rolling eyes)
yeah being stomping around on the rep ticket and getting your name associated with the presidency would never ever help increase the amount of speaking engagements or the fees one can charge for them when just compared to some other rich guy.
now one who cant understand that is LMAO funny
This is a dream for Trump
If people rip up their ballots and throw them away out of frustration
He will hang his name on the trash can and collect revenue everytime it happens
Dump your angry ballots in the Trump trash can and stand for something
Yeah, that’d be a first. We’ve never seen anyone associated with the presidency get paid huge amounts for speaking engagements or books.
Oh wait, Hillary, Reagan,etc.
You ever stop & think Trump might actually be sincere in fixing major issues in this country before there’s not much of a ‘great country’ left for his kids, & grandkids, & their kids?
He’s accomplished most everything he’s wanted in life. What a legacy to leave your family and the families of the next generations.
for Mike E and his bashing of Cameron last year. 😉
Mike Evans said it is “fair” to say he suffered a sophomore slump.
Evans caught just 50 percent of his targets and three touchdowns as a sophomore.
“I’ve got to get back to my fundamentals,” Evans said before talking about his efforts to build rapport with Jameis Winston this offseason. Winston and Evans did not appear to be on the same page for much of last season.
Trump just wants all Muslims, blacks and Latinos out of the country but he’s not a white supremacist LOL.
I really do hope trump is the nominee of the repubs 🙂
He never said that. You bought the propaganda just like all the memes on Facebook. That said I’m not supporting him just so you know. 🙂
That’s just a media misrepresentation
Don’t beleive any criticism of trump
He only thinks Latinos are rapists and the wall he wants to build is decorative
Have you not read about the rapes going on in Europe perpetrated by many illegal immigrants flooding across the border. Most are Muslim, but still. It points the the issue of sound borders, vetting, and ‘legal’ immigration!
Oh come on, I watched some of his rallies and that’s not how it’s said. It is propaganda no matter who you slice it. I saw it happen the day after one of the rallies I watched and said that’s not true, he never said that. So I know a lot of it is BS. It’s not media misrepresentation, it’s the two parties behind it.
Piggy, I said I’m not questioning your views or values in regards to Trump. Just that when someone is bias, you need to carefully sift through their comments.
That’s ba silly perspective
You should be skeptical about all comments
Not just ones you deem bias
If I know going in where you stand, I’m going to be more inclined to keep an ear out for bias comments then someone I’m not sure about. It’s only natural. Are you going to keep an eye on the average Joe just as much as a known sex offender? Don’t be silly. LOL
Boulder, how bout that Hillary and her ties to the KKK?
She is on video kissing former Sen. Robert Byrd, and spoke how fond here and Bill were of him, and how they’ll miss him….LOL
Guess the MSM forgot to tie that one to her in fairness when they rip on Trump as being racist.
Tim
This is trumps quote about Mexican immigrants
http://youtu.be/C6QEqoYgQxw
It’s not a meme
It’s not a misrepresentation
It’s real
You need to take this more seriously
This guy has fed off hate speech
This is who he is
Not who the media or Critics made him
I think it’s funny that the way people defend trump
Is to claim that everything he has said has been misrepresented
No one wants to admit that he is just pure unadulterated asshole
Trump think illegal mexicans have too many lighters?
Lol
What the hell is wrong with those comments? He specifically said not all Mexican people atre bad, just that most of the bad ones are the ones getting into the country illegally. He said many Border patrol officers tell him thes. But what do they know since they’ve been told to stand down & look the other way.
Honestly I have no dog in the fight, but from what I’ve seen all the candidates are assholes. The main difference is Trump isn’t afraid to to speak his true mind opposed to biting tongue. Doesn’t mean I agree w/ what he says, but he doesn’t hide his true opinion.
…and you got to love that about a man, instead of these mealy mouth slick pols spewing empty rhetoric and stumping to the masses what they think they wanna hear. Obama perfected that….lol
hitler spoke his true mind also.
If blatantly racists comments are examples of speaking some one’s mind
then we are in for a lot of problems as a country
It actually takes effort for people from different backgrounds to get work together and bring out the best
I’m not sure someone speaking mind deserves any credit when it comes to racism
Its takes discipline to be tolerant
its really doesn’t come natural for anyone
Not sure why everyone is in such a hurry to hear the truth about everyone’s prejudices
Its not pretty thing to hear and doesn’t make us any stronger as a country
besides that I don’t think Trump is as sincere as he presents himself to be
I don’t think challenging the citizenship of Obama was ever something that had any merit
its laughable if Trump was serious about that
if he was he is an idiot
It was just a means to feed of other people’s prejudice
that’s not speaking his mind
that’s manipulation
Unfortunately Piggy Teump isn’t the only blatant racist in this country that get media attention. The BLM movement is loaded with them also. The country is down a sad path.
getter,
i am not sure what my comment of ‘all the bungholes running for the presidency’ confused you. yeah i am sure all of them and all former ones use it to increase their value. sorry i had to spell that out 🙂
and i said ‘i think’ i never said i know what trump is up too. so therefore there is always a chance he means what he says. but just call me a jaded voter, i just dont trust any politician. i know that is unheard of to not trust a politician but i just dont
I get it. I’m skeptical too of all of them, especially the ones that are propped up by special interests, big money, & dynasty crime families like the Bush clan.
gdp,
Who is david duke supporting? google it.
But Trump plays dumb like he has not tried to target this audience…
Who cares. He’s a citizen & free to say who he likes. As far as I know, we still have that much freedom don’t we?
Anyone can say, hey, I’m for that guy. There are also many black leaders who are in support of Trump, including Farrakhan. So you might want to rethink that media talking point.
I think it’s funny that the way people defend trump
Is to claim that everything he has said has been misrepresented
No one wants to admit that he is just pure unadulterated asshole
piggy, now that pretty much goes for anytime some one is defending another. it even goes to comments sometimes made by non political people. how many times is the ‘my remarks were misrepresent’ used. i know you dislike trump and hate it being pointed out just how bad all of them are but to say it like his supporters are the only one saying he is misrepresented isnt true. and if someone is supporting trump, why would they say he is a unadulterated asshole.
There is a difference from admitting he is an asshole, which you are right will never happen, to saying he didn’t say something that he did
So you are only partially right IMO
People can defend a public person by defending the merits of their comments instead of pretending t hey didn’t happen
with Trump – if I tell you he stated the Mexicans coming to this country were rapists (which he says in the video I posted) then I get told that is just media manipulation and an internet meme
People don’t want to be honest about the things he has said
Piggy, I can’t listen to the video now.
I’m not a Trump supporter but I’ve seen a lot of BS thrown out about him. I’d stand up for any other candidate I think is being wronged as well. So I’m not defending him, I’m defending the process and calling out bias people who role with the propaganda. Don’t tell me it doesn’t happen, I know it does. Remember what business I’m in, I have friends who work in the same field just different clientele. 😉
if it acts like a duck and looks like a duck its a duck 🙂
So I guess you won’t be voting for Hillary then or did you bury your head in the sand and just click your party right down the line? Yeah I thought so. LOL

so hhhmmmmm, does that mean the only real honest political leaders are the ones that are mass murders but all the dishonest political leaders never kill anyone?
i keep seeing this ‘hitler spoke his true mind’ comment in one way or form all over and not really sure what that has to do with anything. does it mean that roosevelt and churchhill were lying the whole time cause they didnt kill anyone
no what it means is that I don’t want a president only because he speaks his mind.
gdp,
As i said I hope trump is the repubs nominee. I just don’t think the republicans would let him get the nomination. I really don’t like cruz.
Piggy, what was wrong with what was said in that video clip you post above on Trump. You are taking things waaaaaay out of context calling that racist…LOL
BTW Piggy, under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.
The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” violate Mexican law, are not “physically or mentally healthy” or lack the “necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents.
“This sounds like the kind of law that a rational nation would have to protect itself against illegal immigrants — that would stop and punish the very people who are violating the law,” said Rep. Steve King of Iowa, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, refugees, border security and international law.
GDP
its not out of context
Its a video of what he said
WTF…how far do you want to take the denial of what he said
Its not cool at all to state that the vast majority of Mexicans coming over are drug dealers and rapists and that “some, I assume, are nice people”
The whole statement was an assumption
but when discussing nice people – he did enough to distance himself to by saying “I assume”
Now he can say to his racists buddies he only assumed…lol
that is actually the most racist thing some one can say
or do for that matter – perpetuate a stereotype
the foundation of racism is associating a group of people with nefarious/criminal acts
its the core of what racism is
everything about that statement is wrong
And its not true
The Mexican who delivered my pizza last night didn’t seel me drugs, rape me or commit a crime
None of the Mexicans I know do that
Where the fuck do people come up with these silly fanatasies
Oh yeah people suggest that its the norm for Mexicans to be rapsist and drug dealers
I don’t care about what Mexican law says
its irrelevant
or any other law
I care about American law
when you vote for a President you vote to create our country
not so em other country
we can’t control their laws
I wish I had the luxury of taking those statements more mightly
but I carry a Hispanic last name with me everywhere I go
And now I have to be the exception to the rule b/c bozo perpetuates a stereotype for his own political gain
what do I have to look forward to in a leader who perpetuates a stereotype about Hispanics
Fuck that dbag
I’m sorry you don’t see it
but calling a group of people rapists and drug dealers is epitome of racism
its not the result of media manipulation
its very real and has very real consequences to some people I assume …no no…I mean some people I KNOW are good people
There is nothing admirable about speaking your mind about race
everyone is guilty of racism in one way or another
racism has been around as long as people have been
its takes effort to be tolerant
that is a far more courageous message to send
imagine publicly telling people to make an effort instead of placating their anger….
Piggy,
the whole birther issue that was brought up because people like trump can’t stand having a black guy as president of the USA. That’s the main reason. If obama was white the birther issue would never come up. They just try to paint obama as not a real american mainly because he’s black.
Way to broad brush everyone. His healthcare plan has been a disaster as well as many other things he’s done. It has nothing to do with thet color of his skin. GW was a bad president too. So we’re 2-2 over the last 15 years. Woohoo!!!
I’m talking about the birther isswue. nobody accused of bush as not being a real american.
And I’m talking about Obama being a bad president on policies.
then why did you respond to my post on birther issue? I wasn’t talking about policies. And BTW we can have really big debate on obama policies vs bush policies whenever you want.
This political discussion is going exactly where bias people take it and nothing gets solved. I’ve taken myself out of it so I will not be responding to anything more on it. Some of the comments being made are ridiculous and that’s why we have the establishment nonsense we have today. Oy!

and i am not saying this in any defense of trump but that just makes no sense. so it is better to not speak ones mind and be a hypocrite about it. ok well i guess since that has worked forever people should keep on doing it.
You aren’t being a hypocrite by making an effort
You think people have been tolerant forever
think again
Post Civil Rights US through now is probably a fraction of a second of time in the grand scheme of things
People have been speaking their minds for centuries its not a novel idea
Piggy,
Trump criticized the Mexican government, not the people as a whole.
He specifically said not all Mexican people are bad, just that many of the bad ones are the ones getting into the country illegally.
Trump said many Border patrol officers tell him this. But what do they know since they’ve been told to stand down & look the other way.
The drug cartel gangs from mexico come into the US to set up shop & send the ill gotten gains back to Mexico. The rich & powerful cartel’s have many of the Mexican officials in their pocket!
That’s not racist, that’s being observant & not afraid to say what you see & hear on the ground.
There’s many bad caucasian people, even more so, by virtue of percentage of population in the US.
The olny difference is they’re already here & born as legal citizens. So when they commit crimes, hopefully they get caught & put behind bars as many do!
we’ll see what the mexicans feel about what he said when they tally up the mexican votes next election. We’ll see then if mexicans take issue with what he said or not when the votes are counted.

you still don’t get what I’m saying.
I want a president who is a leader
who sets an example
relying on ignorant stereotypes is not a leader
its not even speaking your mind
tim,
first, obama has been a wonderful president. i have always been of the opinion the president doesnt have that much direct effect on our individual lives but obama this year has given me quite a few new clients cause of his healtcare plan and tax issues it caused.
second, dont you know that if you criticize obama in any way shape or from that makes you a racist. doesnt matter if you are right in what you say it just makes you a racist for saying it
He’s half white for God’s sake…lol…so let’s still play the race card, cause it can get us somewhere. People are goofs man.

LMAO, where do you come up with this stuff? You seriously believe that shit?
Arnold Schwarzenegger was very popular in Cali, had visions of running for Pres like Ol Ronnie did from Cali.
But his birther issue stood in the way. Oops, there goes the racists talking point.
Cruz is mostly caucasian, and there is an issue as to his birth rights to run for president.
But let’s just keep following the controlled mass media narrative of divide & conquer. It’ll help fuel the race war while keep our attention off of bad legislation, gun grabs, a collapsing world economy, & world war.
Let me know how that works out for ya.
non of those guys were already president.
Boulder, I said GW was a bad president and so is Obama. Why would I want to debate the differences in the two when they both sucked? LOL
Boulder, when you broad brush an entire group of people with comments like “because people like trump can’t stand having a black guy as president” it’s more than the birther issue. That’s why I said this discussion is going in the bias not going anywhere direction. It’s exactly the same thing that divides America and lot of it is BS.
I think anyone who took the birther issue seriously has to be attacking Obama b/c of race
I think a better way to phrase it is to say
people who don’t like a black president support trump
which is not to say all trump supporters don’t like black presidents
but all people who don’t like black presidents somehow find themselves supporting Trump
and that’s bc Trump has exploited racism to get where he is today
Its not that trump doesn’t haven supporters who support him for other reasons
its that he is happy to get support from people for the worst reasons
I think I said it fine. Racist people like Trump can’t stand that we have a black president so they want to make him seem like he’s not a real american by saying he wasn’t born here.

LOL, the Mexicans, any illegals, or low income citizens won’t be voting for Trump or most any GOP anyways, when the Dems are offering all kinds of freebies & increasing entitlements.
In fact, why don’t you send a separate large check to the IRS to help those poor folks out.
Better still, why don’t you make all your kids sleep in one room & offer free space to some nice illegal families.
That would sincerely be a big help. Just don’t ask them any questions about who they are and what their intentions are, cause, ya know, that would be ‘racist’!
So latinos can’t vote in this country? Last time I checked many latinos vote in this country.
And we’ll see in november what percentage of latino vote Trump gets.
People are bigoted in many ways. I find myself in the minority on the LGBT bathroom issues, I’m for it. LOL
piggy,
maybe it is just the mind meltdown cause of tax season but i really am not getting your point on speaking your mind vs not speaking your mind. sorry about any confusion i added to the matter.
i get you dont like trump and our conversation wasnt about that in any way. i just didnt get the speaking of mind topic
I’m telling you that racism is human nature
and it takes effort to get away from it
speaking your mind is not such a great attribute
Here is a great way to test it
Next time you go to a dinner with a friends
get up to use the bathroom
and announce that “I am going to take a shit now”
You are just speaking your mind right
should be well received
but I suspect no one will say I admire Rob for speaking his mind about getting up to shit
somehow when it comes to racism
people are so frustrated with PCness
that saying the most bombastic things you can say about race publicly is getting treated with admiration
but really when Trump spoke about Mexicans
he just announced at the dinner table that he was going to go to the bathroom to take a shit….lol
its fine for people to discuss race
no one knows all the answers on the subject
but its not fine to perpetuate stereotypes out of frustration

I can’t stand Obama’s policies, and I think Hilary is right in line with Obama, only she’s less trustworthy than Obama is. Trump is a buffoon, and his behavior is not worthy of the office of the President of the United States. Despite what anyone else here thinks, the man I would most want to be our President is John Kasich.
That’s what’s great about a democracy. you can have your opinion I can have mine.
Of course. No question about that. I’m not even saying you’re wrong, just saying how I feel.
I agree but here comes GD to link Kasich with the worst people on the planet. LOL
I’m voting 3rd party for the 3rd straight presidential election and I believe the 4th time overall. The duopoly has been exposed and I just can’t in good conscience support either side until things change.

LOL, that’s what I said on the other blog the other night. The way it’s set up now gay men who like penis are in the same bathrooms as men so unless someone engages in a criminal act, who cares? I’m not taking inventory in a bathroom nor am I interested in other people’s bathroom techniques. LOL
BTW
Trump’s dad, Fred Trump was a good man. He really was, he was a stand up guy my grandfather had dealt with personally, and he did some nice things for our community in Brooklyn. I would think Fred would be embarrassed by Donald’s behavior.
ffr,
Since what I post seems confusing to you feel free to ignore my posts.
The same media talking points that bash Trump on border security, obviously fail to inform us on the increased border security going up on Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala. How dare they offend the Guatemalans. Them racist mexican leaders.
do you know that net immigration from mexico into US is zero? They don’t want to come here.
But by all means build a great big wall with a golden door with TRUMP on top.LOL

As far as the bathroom thing, I think I have a problem with it. All I have to do is think of Bruce Jenner, who was a man his entire life until about a year or two ago, I don’t have the date on my calendar. lol If he decided he wanted to use the ladies room, or even someone like him, and my daughter was in that bathroom, I would not be comfortable with that at all. Yes, of course a gay guy could be in the bathroom with me, but as long as he keeps his eyes and everything else off of me, I’m OK with that too.
Violating someone else’s rights is still a crime. Your daughter could be in a bathroom with a female lesbian who is rough and tough who intimidates her and backs her in a stall. Your daughter won’t be standing at a urinal next to Bruce errrr… Kaitlyn because they’ll both be in stalls.
so if you dont like trump and your are white and you like obama but but dont support hillary does that automatically mean you hate the LGBT community

Saying “not all Mexican people aren’t bad” should be a badge every racist should be made to wear so I can easily identify people that have never been around anyone from a race other than their own
How condescending can some one get
If this becomes the cultural standard of today, then I have to bury everything I know about every culture I’ve ever known
Mexicans coming here are not rapists and drug dealers
its not a small fraction – its the vast majority
I feel embarassed I have to say this
he didn’t throw anyone a bone by saying “I assume, some are nice” after attaching a disgusting stereotype to the whole race, and then correcting it by suggesting its only most of them…

Dude he criticized the people
Listen to his quote
he is talking about Mexicans coming here
he talks about how bad Mexicans coming here are
Its as racists as it gets
This is nothing observant about it – its false
Mexico doesn’t send people here by the way
So that is false to begin with
He makes it sound like its a trade between Mexico and the US
its not
its just old fashioned immigration the way its always been
Mexican citizens try to come here on their own
The Gov’t isn’t interested in stopping it – that’s as much as they are involved
its usually the policy of the gov;t rptecting its own boarders to govern that
I don’t know why this about the Mexican gov’t
but that is a different conversation
There are many bad people of every race
but you will never here me say “Caucasions are drug dealers and racists, but some I assume are good people”
you can’t throw out insults at groups of people and act like you didn;t insult those people b/c you carved out an exception
Now what?
everywhere I go, bc I am latino, I have to prove that I didn’t rape when I enter the room? – bc apparenetly its the exception
I don’t get your defense of this statement
Its one of the worst things I’ve heard a public figure say about a group of people in a long long time
Your grandchildren will read that Trump said this once and wonder how the world could ever be like this
If I had the chance, I would spit in Trump’s mouth before the words came out if I knew he was going to say it again

Piggy, did you see Al Gore pretending to sound like a black preacher when he was campaigning in a mostly black community back when he was running for president or VP, I don’t remember which one it was? I was flawed that he actually attempted that, there was video of it, the only thing missing was black face. The people he was in front of were into it though so I guess it was cool and not racist to them. It got swept away by the mainstream media and that was a big part of me realizing how the political landscape gets shaped with bias views.
Do you think that is racist? That to me is elitist and selective racism as if that’s the only way you could relate to these people is to go out of character and pretend to be something you’re not.
Why is it
that when I call Trump a racist
we have to go down the list of everyone that’s ever been racist
what’s the relevance?
Gore was never criticized in any big way by the mainstream media for doing that? I’m pointing out the bias we have in this country. I’ve used the word bias a bunch of times already today. I’m an equal opportunity criticizer of bias. I’ve already said I’m not a Trump supporter so I moved on to the topic of racism, not all about him.
Why does everyone’s sphincter tighten up when another example is put out there? Because maybe someone supported that person and looks the other way when it’s their party doing it?
There have been plenty of examples of racism within both parties but once again, a pure bias turns a blind eye. I enjoy pointing that kind of stuff out. 🙂
here is the best part about those throwing around the racist word.
it is perfectly fine for them to just call out someone as a racist when they dont even know that person or their beliefs. they are fine just using the label of a racist and just since the word is so strong they get to hide behind the word without even knowing the truth about who they are calling out. when what is really happening is the person using the word is just as bad for not having the facts but that goes unnoticed.
Racism has gone far beyond the real meaning of the word. It’s been bastardized by the PC overly sensitive society we live in. Now if you correlate a type of food with an ethnic group it’s racist even if it’s accurate. How is that insensitive?
I’m careful about using the word
I tend to think suggesting a group pf people are rapists and drug dealers fits the bill
Lets not be afraid to use the word when it fits
Trump has earned it
here’s a tip for you non cooks concerning cutting up potatoes. If you put the cut up potatoes in cold water they will not turn brown before you have to cook/fry them.

tim,
i have a really good friend who is a racist. he full well believes there is difference between white, black, asain, etc. it doesnt make him a bad guy just his belief. i dont see anything wrong with his belief. i dont have to agree with him just like he doesnt have to agree with me. i agree with you that the word racist/racism has been over used and people are over sensitive about it now.
I know people like that as well and get the douche chills when they openly say racist stuff like everyone is cool with it.
Here’s the difference to me. If you believe someone doesn’t have the same rights and opportunities based on their ethnicity or sexual orientation, you’re an unacceptable racist in my eyes. If it’s just your beliefs that people are of difference races are different and you do nothing to offend them because of that and don’t violate their rights, live as you choose.

Don’t know but it’s funny. I have seen other animal chases human videos that are real.
Piggy, this was the response after the silly outrage from the video you posted from July of 2015.
Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “MediaBuzz,” Republican presidential candidate and billionaire business mogul Donald Trump addressed his controversial comments on some Mexican immigrants being rapist and murderers said he was simply commenting on media reports on border crime, therefore he “can never apologize for the truth.”
Host Howard Kurtz asked if he should apologize.
Trump replied, “I don’t have to say that. Look, the Mexican border is a sieve. People are pouring into our country. We don’t know who they are, where they are, they come from all over the world, not just Mexicans. I employ thousands of Mexicans. I’ve employed over the years many thousands of Mexicans. I love the Mexican people. They’re fantastic. Everybody knows that. In terms of the border, it’s a disgrace. either we have a border or we don’t have a country. You can’t have a country without borders. People are coming in and some of those people — I read it even yesterday there was a huge article about the tremendous crime that’s taking place. It’s like a crime wave. One of the most dangerous places on earth. And I bring that up all of a sudden I’m a bad person.”
“I read an article yesterday from “Fusion” which is owned by Univision talking about women that cross the border are being raped. Many of them, a tremendous percentage, 80 percent, that’s hard to believe it could be 80% they said the women coming across the border are raped. This is done by “Fusion” printed in “The Huffington Post” no friend of mine and I use the word rape and all of a sudden everyone goes crazy. It says 80% of the women — which hard to believe to be honest with you — so I can never apologize for the truth. I don’t mind apologizing for things. I can’t apologize for the truth. I said tremendous crime is coming across. Everybody knows that’s true. It’s happening all the time. When I mention crime, I’m a racist? I’m not a racist.”
so he took a Fusion article that states about 80% of the women coming across the border being raped and concluded that the people coming here are mostly rapists?
his justification is more racist than the comment
he actually wants to believe Mexicans coming here are rapists and drug dealers
you are not helping his defense with this stuff
the fact that he doesn’t realize how racist his assumption is, is probably the worst part
WOW…smh
when someone has to constantly defend themselves for being called a bigot is a sign.
The american people have a way of deciding for themselves. When the votes are counted, we’ll see what percentage of the latino vote goes to trump. Then you know how the latinos feel about trump’s words and if they think he’s a racist towards latinos or not.
Trump says extreme things and is way too divisive to be president in my view. I don’t like that the two parties already play like brat children and can’t just stay on topic. But I surely don’t want a president where that will continue at a high level between both parties, even his own and it will.
LMAO Piggy! Nice job on the article. I’m still bumed about Miller- I’ll get over it at some point.
piggy,
if in your opinion trump has earned it then by all means call him a racist.
I think he has earned it
I not nearly this agressive about anyone else
I let a lot of things go most of the time that don’t sit well with me in terms of race
tim,
i agree with you. and my friend isnt stamping on anyones rights just saying there is a difference among races.
Does he think certain races are intellectually superior just by being of that specific race? Because as we all know, there are idiots and intelligent people of all races.
Then again, I agree with FFR that the president other than some specific powers doesn’t really change your life by his mere being. It takes way more assholes than that. LOL

If the Latino people don’t vote for Trump, does that equate to them thinking he’s a racist, or that they’re liberal democrats?
My mother is a die hard Reagan loving republican
and she will never vote for trump
understand that that is what Trump does to the republican party if he wins
Well, I’m a moderate, and I have no intention on voting for Trump. That doesn’t mean I think he’s a racist. I think he talks with his foot in his mouth at all times. The man doesn’t think before he talks, but I honestly don’t believe he’s a racist. Like I said, his father was a good man from what I know, and usually those things are perpetuated in the family.
I’m not sure where it stands now, Piggy and Al would have a better grasp on it then me. But at one time many Cuban Americans as a majority were Republican. But I can understand why that was after Castro.
But this idea that minority groups vote one way is inherently racist in it’s own way. That suggests they can’t think for themselves and simply vote their own conscience, but that they all follow one party plank blindly. Which isn’t true by the way.
There are still many Cuban republicans
But adult Cubans are a generation removed from that time
So the range is a little broader
I don’t know many Cubans who were born here who base their political beliefs on relations with Cuba the same way the generation who came over here does
GDP
you can shake your head all you want
the story in Fusion is about trafficking and rape of Mexican women coming to this country
the people doing the trafficking are not coming to this country
You can read the article here
http://fusion.net/story/17321/is-rape-the-price-to-pay-for-migrant-women-chasing-the-american-dream/
So Trump took this
and decided to say that the Mexicans coming here are mostly rapists
that is not what the article even suggests
it suggests that 80% of the women coming here (from mexico and central America) are being preyed on by rapists
NOT THAT THE RACISTS ARE COMING HERE
The women coming here are actually being raped at or near the border and its not by the men coming into this country illegally – its organized crime (gangs)in mexico
but Trump don’t care about those facts
Bro, he also said he’s going by what many Border Patrol officers have told him about the crime, the rapes, the drugs, the non-mexican’s who could be sleeper cells of terrorists. So yeah, let’s just let them all in and clean up the bloodshed later. That sounds like the better plan that’s worked all along.
Have you ever read about the border towns, what is going on there? Try living in Laredo and see if you feel safe.
GDP
I know what happens in border towns you are not wrong to suggest they are dangerous.
One has nothing to do with the other
Its so far away from what he said
he said that Mexicans coming here are rapists and drug dealers
and that’s just not correct at all
He associates what Mexican drug cartels do with people coming here into this country
Its a horrible thing to do
How would you like it if I called you an ex-con, b/c you within 100 miles of a prison.
He is associating these acts with all Mexicans/Central Americans crossing the border or at least most of them – since “some he assumes are nice people”
He could have said that 80& of the women crossing the border have been raped by gangs in mexico – but that would not have delivered the same effect I guess
