Boges Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 So because I recall something from the news, that means Trump's winning. That must mean that all the dumbfounding thing JT does that I can recall is a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Dean Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 My Fear is that Trump will touch stuff that he's not supposed to, like the EPA or NASA. Sure, trump can appoint people that will be in charge of it, but those organizations were disined to be funded by the gov't, but run by the organization itself. Since trump is a businessman (and not well educated on the matters of our planet) he might start to repeal essential laws and regulations put in place to protect our air and water.

Boges Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) LOCK HIM UP!!! LOCK HIM UP!!! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/29/white-house-investigation-private-email-accounts Quote The White House has launched an internal investigation after it emerged that Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and other senior officials used personal email accounts for official business, Politico reported on Thursday. Citing four unnamed officials, the news site said the investigators have begun pulling batches of emails on the White House server to and from the private accounts of senior aides. Politico first reported last week that Kushner had used personal email for government matters. On Sunday his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said there were fewer than a hundred emails about government business in Kushner’s private email domain, and that all had been forwarded to his White House account.

Omni Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I see Trump has found an activity commensurate with his abilities, handing out rolls of toilet paper in Puerto Rico while keeping his mouth shut. Some relief for his handlers I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialamah Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I think this becomes more true everyday. People doing the real work can simply humor or sideline him, send him off to "play" at his rallies while they take care of business. It is probably the best outcome overall. Impeachment would create even more anger and divisiveness in the US. Death by natural causes would create conspiracy theories and even more suspicion and assassination is unacceptable. Letting him finish out as an irrelevant figurehead seems ideal. Trump is no longer President. Oh sure, he has the title and he has the bully pulpit – from which he’s bullying everyone from NBA players to people protesting white supremacists to DACA kids. But he’s not actively governing the United States. That work is happening elsewhere – in Congress, the courts, the Fed, the career civil service, lobbyists, and in the states. Or it’s not happening at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) What kind of tone deaf A-Hole goes to a disaster zone and tells the people there at least more people didn't die.

His ongoing popularity should be used in some study to find out why people reject traditional politicians and accept this stuff. That said, it's still superficial. It could be forgiven if there are otherwise positive signs that he's being effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing chicken with $80 trillion in derivatives is a bad idea, along with intercontinental ballistic missiles. However, the sad truth is the markets will continue to robo-trade with or without the existence of the masses of humanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omni Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 So Pence has chosen to go down the road of kissing Trump's sorry arse by taking his order to walk out of the Colt's game if any of the players "took a knee". I always thought he was a bit of a creep. Meanwhile people who are actually experienced enough to know what they are doing (Tillerson, Kelly, at teh moment) are about to take a walk away from the gong show that currently infests the White House. Bad career move Pence. bye, bye after the impeachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can figure out it would have cost about the same. I guess you missed the point. It was a childish stunt, paid for by the taxpayer.

If Pence went to the game for that reason, just to grandstand a response to the kneelers, then I agree with you. CNN said: "A Pence aide said the Indianapolis trip was planned for weeks because former Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was being honored at the game; the Las Vegas leg, however, was put on the schedule in recent days, adding to the total expenditures." He has as much right to express himself as anyone does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
