  1. Indignation is seen over Bannon appointment. Civil rights groups, Democrats and some Republicans on Monday denounced President-elect Trump’s decision to appoint Stephen K. Bannon to a top White House position, warning that he represents nationalist and racist views that should be rejected by the incoming president. Congressional Republicans remained largely silent about the decision, choosing to instead praise Mr. Trump’s announcement that Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, will become the new White House chief of staff. But on Twitter and in statements emailed to reporters, a chorus of critics lamented what they said was a frightening normalization of the fringe views that Mr. Bannon promoted as the chairman of Breitbart News. The Council on American-Islamic Relations said Mr. Bannon’s selection “sends the disturbing message that anti-Muslim conspiracy theories and white nationalist ideology will be welcome in the White House.” That view was echoed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks hate groups, which insisted that “Trump should rescind this hire. In his victory speech, Trump said he intended to be president for ‘all Americans.’ Bannon should go.” Republicans who had long opposed Mr. Trump’s candidacy took to Twitter on Sunday night and Monday morning to warn that his choice to rely on the advice of Mr. Bannon is an indication of the way that he will govern. “The racist, fascist extreme right is represented footsteps from the Oval Office,” said John Weaver, a Republican strategist who ran the presidential campaign of Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and previously advised Senator John McCain of Arizona. “Be very vigilant, America.” From today's NY Times
  2. Which was thankfully found to be unconstitutional and has been stopped
  3. What did your newly elected president do, drain the swamp and keep the dregs he found at the bottom? This includes his a-hole buddy Ruddy who made a career out of 9/11 when all he actually did that day was hide in a bunker and Newt, another right wing fool kept on life support all these years thanks to Fox News. And lets no forget Steve Bannon, this will satisfy those here love for fictitious news. http://nyti.ms/2ev7DhT
  4. Funny how a large majority of you here continually posted about open revolution by right wing zealots should Hilary win. How ironic it now is that you all now cry out about street protests brought about by the election of your new president. Once again the hypocrisy expressed here is undeniable, revolution upon a Hilary win was acceptable and wished for yet street protests are considered the outlaw acts of spoiled kids. God help us all as your delusional thoughts find a place in what is sure to be the twisted politics of the next 4 years.
  5. Have you not read my posts? But to make it clear, I do not recognize him as president.
  6. So then we agree, like you I speak of the man elected. Without someone serving in the role the "office" itself would be just vacant real estate
  7. Not familiar with that, will have to inquire next time I'm at Home Depot
  8. Would you happen to have a picture of this because I'm thinking that the hole of a large washer would be bigger then the diameter of the bolt
  9. Perfect quote on dealing with the election of President A-Hole... “We refuse to recognize Donald Trump as the president of the United States, and refuse to take orders from a government that puts bigots into power,” the organizers wrote. (This kinda sounds like some of you here when talking about gov't attempts at gun control) “We have to make it clear to the public that we did not choose this man for office and that we won’t stand for his ideologies.” From Facebook page titled “Not My President”
  10. Repeal and replace Obama care? A law that has negatively affected every person I know- I am all for Nationalized healthcare however ObamaCare is not working as designed and does need to undergo change Strong borders and national security? Against the wall, and against his radical proposals such as nation-wide stop and frisk as well as giving the police any more authority. It is a known fact that police consistently abuse the powers they already have and therefore can not be trusted with any more Adding SCOTUS that believe in the constitution? (you know, the document that has separated us from the rest of the world for 240 years)- I oppose the selection of any conservative leaning judge Ending tax dollars for illegal immigrants and support for sanctuary cities?Yes and no, allow cities to operate as they see fit. I thought one of the republican's guiding principles was "Limited Government" on the local level? Extreme vetting of any refugees that want to come to our land? No, this will lead to overt racism and as with the police as stated earlier lead to the abuse of power by those doing such vetting. Lowering the corporate tax rate (one of the highest in the world) so we can compete with other nations and hopefully bring back some jobs? Agree Tax cuts for the middle class? Agree Support for our veterans? No problem here Putting America first? In principal, but at what cost? Trump's threats of trade wars will lead to the destruction of the American economy, especially since a large majority of what American's buy on a daily basis isn't made here. A trade war with any of our major trade partners, I.E. China will lead to higher costs for consumers dampening demand for such products leading to less sales and all the consequences this will entail Admitting we have a huge Islamic terrorism problem and taking the fight to them? Agreed An all of the above approach on energy? Need to be a bit more specific on this one. Renegotiating trade deals that have left us unable to compete in the world in manufacturing anything? We manufacture nothing here anymore because the costs to do so here make such products unaffordable and therefore uncompetitive when compared to the lower prices of foreign made goods. As you can see there are some policies I agree with and since the decision on who will sit in the Oval Office has been made all I can do, expect for speaking out against what i disagree with, is to simply hope for the best. Hopefully this answers your questions
  11. Even your dead conservative Supreme Court judge has ruled that states have the right to make their own gun control laws
  12. They won't check your background here in NY because they have abandoned that part of the SAFE Act. As for entering your info from your drivers license I have had that happen to me every time I buy ammo, and this has been at various stores, I think it is their/their computer systems way of confirming that you are of legal age. I see this occurring all the time at the convenience store when people are buying beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets
  13. I suppose instead of carrying the discharge bag with you to your stand any nearby "soft" place to shoot bolt into would work just as well. However, I would still say bring an old bolt along to do this with this way if you should end up damaging the bolt it would be no big loss.
  14. Even if you don;'t hunt with one, my daughter doesn't, they are just a lot of fun to play around with
  15. WOW now isn't that funny, when the "voters" agree with you then you claim "the voters have voiced their views and democracy has won" however when those same "voters" disagree with you then they are "tyrants". Boy you really are a hypocrite
  16. I do and me and my daughter enjoy shooting it. And before you ask, due to family obligations I will not be hunting the two weekends of crossbow hunting.
  17. Rob, your concern for my well being and success while afield is thoughtful and comforting, thank you for your interest.
  18. He, like others before him, will lead a life of luxury that you could only dream of. Speeches, ghost written books equal millions of easy dollars.
  19. While the federal government remains beholden to the NRA, citizens of three states passed initiatives toughening gun laws http://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2016/11/09/how-california-washington-maine-and-nevada-voted-on-gun-control/
  20. Just doing my best to remain optimistic. I did my part and voted and know i can only hope for the best because it "is what it is"
  21. I ve hunted there for the first time last year. Didn't see much but betting like a lot of others the weather was a big factor in that. Try the Long Swamp area down past the post office by Rhoads Bar off of Rt 17 just past Davis Sports shop. There is a lot of places to hunt there so taking a drive/ walking the woods would be a good place to start. PS Where in Rockland are you?
