    When will these dumbasses learn ? ...

    that if you work for the President you do what he says.
    If you don't agree, you keep your stupid mouth shut, you don't
    go around publicly announcing your disagreement - unless
    You like the idea of being unemployed or even better, being
    sent to Northern Ireland as the US Special Envoy.

        Remember the words of the immortal Popeye Doyle:

        "How can you drink that stuff?"

        "Oi 'ave to! Oi'm Irish!"

          Personally I value competence over loyalty. Suckups usually won't get you anywhere worth going. Competent people might not give away their loyalty cheaply, but the loyalty of a competent person is so much more valuable.

            Never look smarter than the boss.

            In Nick's case, he never had a risk of that happening. .

                Republicans are loyal, Democrats are loyal; So what is not in fashion?

                  What's not in fashion is talking up America as being one of the greatest countries to live in. What's in fashion is the left knocking it in every little way to make it seem to be a bad country...

                    You mean like the guy who ran for President on the slogan

                    "Make America Great AGAIN"?

                    In other words it's not trashing the country when the grumpy old farts complain about something. Just when the young people, or women, or minorities do it. Right????

                        If you look close at American policies and actions since WWII we do the same dumb s*** as the rest of the power nations. Does that make us great? Trying to enforce our beliefs on other nations whether they want it or not. Nothing is perfect so let the rest of the world take care of their own problem without us butting in! We have our own problems. Did we make a difference in Viet Nam? Afghanistan? Irac? JMHO

                          Some old duffers look at the young and say that the country is going to hell.

                          I don't do that.

                          The way I see it, old duffers have been complaining about modern times....

                          forever.

                              My goodness how naive. What other countries stepped in to help others after just about every modern war. Ever heard of the Marshall Plan? How about SCAP? After the Korean war, the U.S. helped South Korea become a modern State with a powerful economy and today Vietnam is an important trader to the U.S. ($51.28 billion in 2018).

                              Go ahead and tear down our country, go ahead and demonize the greatest nation that has ever existed. But please tell me if we are the dirt bags of the world, why are people flooding across our borders inbound instead of leaving.

                              Welcome to the Stoogies... hate and burn, twist and turn, lie and cry.
