Lol<br /><br />This guy:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/EJLandwehr<br /><br />I thought that guy was pretty funny actually: I enjoyed reading his stuff. He made a small factual error in a statement about guns, and I corrected that, but then I went on to rapid fire a small tweet storm his way (w/ my opinions of NRA, what features of guns are most dangerous, etc) ... I identified myself as a "gun nut" but I told him I wasn't going to "jump down his throat" (in an effort not to scare him off). I don't actually disagree w/ him. Now he thinks I'm a RWNJ I guess.<br /><br />Would you do me a favor and message him (probably better than tweeting) and let him know that I'm not *really* a nut and definitely not a RWNJ. Lol.<br /><br />I spewed out the tweets so fast (to keep my train of thought) that I didn't bother trying to read any responses until I was done (about 8 tweets total). Maybe he was tweeting back saying "Dude back off!! I'm gonna block your ass if you don't stop!!" Lol. In fact right after I was done I left the computer for 1/2 hr, so I don't know if there was any response.<br /><br />My twitter handle is:<br /><br />@browntom1234<br /><br />Thanks.Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-43015515178977081612016-08-07T19:25:45.653-07:002016-08-07T19:25:45.653-07:00Mike, this is the weirdest shit ever:

I responded to this same comment above.
But ...Yep! I responded to this same comment above.<br /><br />But I'll add this: Nixon may have been tempted to nuke N. Vietnam (I don't know if he was or not, but I wouldn't put it past him), but he thought better of it.<br /><br />Has Trump ever thought better of it?<br /><br />I had a boss once that reminded me a bit of Trump in regards to poor self control. Briefly. He self destructed fast. <br /><br />One Sunday night a couple of my coworkers were at the office and my boss ("Bruce" or "Brucifer" I called him) joined them, but drunk (probably) after a meeting w/ his ex wife that "didn't go well."<br /><br />My coworker Drew said he looked up and saw Bruce standing at his door holding a fire extinguisher with a devilish grin on his face. Drew realized the delicacy of the situation, but instinctively said what may have amounted to the wrong thing: "You wouldn't..."<br /><br />"You wouldn't" was basically a challenge to Bruce, so he sprayed Drew down w/ the fire extinguisher, and then proceeded to spray down the other guy, and the whole office.<br /><br />Senior staff arriving early Monday morning took one look at the devastation and Bruce's pathetic attempts to clean it up, made a phone call, and that was Bruce's last day. =)<br /><br />Somehow I get a similar vibe from Trump. Bruce would have LOVED Trump, and if he's still alive somewhere, he probably does love Trump. Bruce was even the same color, but more so: orange!<br /><br />I'd bet Trump would take "you wouldn't!" as a challenge as well.Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-1036066367980211372016-08-07T11:46:54.767-07:002016-08-07T11:46:54.767-07:00Yep, and his bombing campaign in Cambodia that des...Yep, and his bombing campaign in Cambodia that destabilized that country and led to genocide. Not a nice guy, but we did survive him with our Republic in tact. He had some minimal sense of shame, at least about some things, decorum and desire to see our Republic survive and do better. Trump has none of that. All he sees is self aggrandizement, fuck all else.<br /><br />Plus I survived Nixon fine. ;) (he's the 1st prez I can remember). Perhaps I was too young to realize it, but I don't think there was broad worry about some dark evil undercurrent that Nixon would let loose. With Trump you can almost sense the proto-Nazis waiting in the wings, wanting to go all the way.Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-52822147166487933592016-08-07T11:46:49.119-07:002016-08-07T11:46:49.119-07:00I agree that Nixon>>Trump overall, though it...I agree that Nixon>>Trump overall, though it has to be admitted that what Nixon did with South Vietnam-urging them to turn down a peace deal before the election-is at least somewhat proto Trumpian in this cycle where he's urging Russia to hack a political opponent's emails for his own political benefitMike Saxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360689916550576484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-66956096167455584972016-08-07T11:46:11.945-07:002016-08-07T11:46:11.945-07:00No, I've seen it used but never thought I'...No, I've seen it used but never thought I'd get a shot to use it myself.

I call him "the best writer" there but really what I mean is that his views most closely align with mine. I'm calling attention to this particular piece because it's <i><b>EXACTLY</b></i> what I've been trying to express to you and to people at RedState.com (like Leon Wolf) and Erick Erickson and Rick Wilson for the past week. What did those #NeverTrump right wingers (not you of course, Lol) miss that Taylor nails? This bit:<br /><br /><br /><i>"In politics, if you stand for nothing you are nothing. <b>Trump saw that clearly enough, but also understood where millions of Obama-haters’ true loyalties really lay; with anyone who validated their fierce personal rejection of the President himself. They would reject or ignore every Republican presidential aspirant who didn’t pander to that base conceit. Hence his relentless assaults on Obama’s character, a smear campaign of baseless accusations really, and his wild promises to “build a wall Mexico would pay for”.</b> The bullying and public ridicule. “Little Marco”. “Low-energy Jeb”. “Ly’in Ted”. “Make America great again”. Trump attracted them, scooped them up and hurled them against the Party’s paladins like a battering ram. They toppled like bowling pins."</i><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://theresurgent.com/the-gop-a-dysfunctional-mess/" rel="nofollow">http://theresurgent.com/the-gop-a-dysfunctional-mess/</a>Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-90828028627730529002016-08-07T10:22:26.926-07:002016-08-07T10:22:26.926-07:00To use mathematical symbols:
