Meh. If this is true.....now I understand why looney John McCain was so enthusiastically in favor of this guy. McCain's reaction should've been a red flag. McCain better hope the midterms go good for the democrats or any power he has is gone. Make no bones about it, this is likely mccain's last term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Sen McCain is part of the problem...he should have retired after a fine career years ago. No wonder he resents a fat cat like Trump just swooping in and taking the presidency he never had. Bitter ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, war was a very profitable experience for McCain. Unlike your draft avoiding hero, McCain was seriously wounded and spent six years in a North Vietnamese prison camp. If anyone does, he deserves a honourable retirement. Edited February 26, 2017 by Wilber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rex Tillerson's hearing was the Titanic, then DeVos might have been the Hindenburg! Education Secretary Betsy deVos has joined in on the "alternative facts" craze with her own unique touch, "alternative history"! Quote After meeting with university leaders at the White House with President Donald Trump on Monday, Ms DeVos released a statement illustrating her administration’s proposals to help develop “underserved communities”. In it, she said Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were “real pioneers when it comes to school choice." “They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality," she added. “Their success has shown that more options help students flourish." In the real world, black colleges were established in segregation states because the federal government required that black students have access to higher education. Black colleges were established so that these states could meet that requirement without having to let black people onto white campuses. But on Planet Betsy, the black colleges were "pioneers of school choice!" giving "more options!" to black students. Trying to reimagine segregation-era establishment of segregated campuses as creating a vigorous, thriving competition for black scholars is absurd. It's like trying to spin separate "whites" and "coloreds" water fountains as giving "more options!" to thirsty people. It's moronic in a way that defies description. -k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 An empty promise of security and prosperity for all. Oh well,m it's not like the bar for yet another Trump speech was very high going in and Congress sounded like a typical crowd of cheering rubes. The widows and orphans were a nice touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 .Trump's speech is for the PEOPLE and let's see how the Democrats are going to help the COUNTRY or be self-centered and only worry about losing their jobs and Trump achieving his goals for the country. Now is the time for the Supporters of the Dems, to tell them to Try and work with Trump for the better of the country and that will give back the respectability the USA lost.
