Interesting article.

Putin Played a Long Game. It’s Starting to Pay Off. — The Wall Street Journal

Advisers to the Russian leader have been surprised by the sudden change in tone from the White House in recent weeks

Pay wall....please summarize it.

Best speech he has yet given. For once he was on script and he made the democrats look absolutely petty. As powerful a thing as I have seen.

Now if he will just not screw up Ukraine.

The comedy/ridiculousness of seeing the two halves of the room during Trumps speech was worth the watch. Immediately after the conclusion, no clapping on the left and they filed out like their heads were on fire and asses were catching.

I stole this from @Royal27 who apparently got it from @Wheels and I don't care that I did that......

Interesting article.

Paywall! Damn! Cannot read.

That speech was an absolute political massacre for Dems.

We will agree to disagree about Spike. I’ll make sure to not spend money at Takeri Private Reserve.

Well I’m happy to buy Spike a drink anytime he pitches up. And he’s always got a place to stay on this farm.

Politics aside, that's pretty damn funny. Put me down for a beer if you're ever in my neck of the woods.
My counterpart for work is in Toronto and while I cannot commit to endorsing Swiss Chalet's mystery gravy, I do enjoy visiting Canuckistanians from time to time.
Most of them are appalled at the fact that I hunt and butcher my own game so it's nice to see some hunters on here.

Get more than fifty miles from the border and you’ll find a lot of Canadians who know what to do with a gun and a knife.

Hell, I brought him a bottle of the best I could afford, and I am pretty sure we had finished it before I left.

That speech was an absolute political massacre for Dems.

They sat so still the whole time and they were wearing so much pink it was like half the chamber was filled with yard flamingoes.

 

[wesheltonj]

Well, my take away was, I saw Justice Kennedy clap at the end of the speech. I suspect Trump may get two more appointments.

[Houston Bill]

Congressman Al Green (D-Texas) was just ejected from the floor of the House of Representatives for continued disruptions and “breach of decorum” during President Trump’s speech.

The dems are rudderless and have no leader with ANY common sense. They looked like fools this evening, they could not even clap for the young kid who had brain cancer that is now a secret service agent! How out of touch they have become. Their affliction with TDS is going to crush the party for the next decade or more.

re: trumps speech.

i was disappointed that the dems could not even applaud a kid beating cancer. there was plenty for them to disagree with (not me tho) but there were some moments that everyone could have been happy about.

what a moment when the kid hugged the secret service guy that gave him a badge and what a shame that everyone in the building could not appreciate it.

 

[flatwater bill]

Of the handful of men that I hunt with, two are lifelong democrats and paradoxically and foolishly (IMO) libs. They believe everything that ABC tells them. Tonight, they both admitted that their party had no answers.... and that hatred for Pres Trump, at least during the speech, came across as hatred of America. That's what it looked like to me as well.............FWB

Thanks mate! Now I learn something!

Spike I probably owe you some form of royalty payment I used your muppet characterization to describe another member some pages back. In solidarity I’ll buy the drinks if you ever wonder into my little piece of the world. Out of curiosity have you ever drank spiked Tea ? Some older gentleman I knew used to take a gallon glass jug fill it with white rum and soak red rose tea bags in it while gently heating it on a stove in a pot of warm water. The first couple were quite harsh but the drinks seemed to improve as the night ran on.

Nope never tried..sounds interesting but dangerous ...and thanks for the offer

“The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.”

Will Rogers

Can’t stand horses?

They are the best way to work cattle. Especially if you have to rope them to doctor, brand, or whatever. Please do tell us what outfit you’re with as I have no desire to share a fire with you.

The joy of making a good ranch horse is one of the few pleasures in my life.

My outfit as you say is in my header....and take it from me the feeling is mutual....

I was listening to speaker Mike Johnson i dont know, but he has that used car salesman vibe about him, telling you want you want to hear.

 

[Brent in Az]

Trump needs to make a speech like that a week or two before the mid-terms.
