Priceless image for some reason I am reminded of the giant statue Caligula had made of himself. Every day some of his minions would dress it in the exact same outfit he was wearing for the day. Trump's second term maybe?



Oh god oh god.

No. none of them work for me. I tend not to discuss politics with my staff, even if they try a rope me into it.

They're fine with people being banned from this country based on their religion and country of origin? And even if the stated reason is provably, quantifiably inaccurate?- G



Yes. They haven't given me their reasons, but I assume that its because they feel it doesn't affect them because they're not from the subject nations.

However, I once again disagree with your inaccurate characterization of the visa restrictions.

Hav you read the TPP? I havent. I hear alot uv scorn, but no detailz on why its bad. I think NAFTA soured everybody on trade dealz for the forseeable future.

A better idea iz to regulate companyz that do international biz, such az requiring them to pay forin workerz at least haf uv wut American equivelents get.

Even tho it meanz higher prisez on sum stuff, it either makes it cheaper to keep jobz here or creates more customerz around the world.

Duznt sound like such a good stratejy for dealing with a bad guy. Hiz type ALWAYZ goez az far az you allow them. If he believed the US woudnt interfere
he woud restore the Soviet Union 1 nation at a time.

I agree that being on good termz iz better, but it cant be at the expens uv other countryz.

Its not like Hillary wuz calling for the border with Mexico to be dizzolved, so you essentially voted for the construction uv a wall that any competent arkitekt will estimate at 25,000,000,000 American dollarez minimum.

A big differens between Hillary and Donald iz competens for the job. Trump haz zero, Hillary haz decadez worth uv direct experiens.

Say wut you want about her polisyz (az perseived) but we coud hav depended on her to at least know wut the hell the job iz.

Hav you read the TPP?

No, and not the TTIP either but that's because they've kept it a secret. However, whistleblowers from inside have LEAKED relevant portions, and the most relevant portion is the part where transnational businesses could take governments to arbitration for interfering with "usual and expected" profits, and that the disputes would be decided by a tribunal of trade lawyers, not in any national court. I even posted an example of what that would look like, as when Phillip Morris, the tobacco company, filed a complaint against Australia under a bilateral trade deal with Hong Kong for its "plain packaging/ graphic health warning" tobacco laws which would have reduced "usual and expected profits" and how this was decided by a private trade tribunal. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/18/australia-wins-

Well now you know more than you did before.

Quote:

NAFTA has a lot of problems, mostly economic, on BOTH ends of any trade. But the TTP and TTIP added a whole new wrinkle by eliminating a nation's ability to enforce environmental, work, or product safety regulations according to its own laws, by having the decision made by a non-government arbitration panel, with NO governmental oversight or review.

How do you enforce that? The only way is by charging a tax-on-entry.

No. Just end our aggressive actions.

If they're so afraid of Russia, how about they look towards their own defense? It's not like they can't form their own alliances.

Also, increasing ICE and Border Patrol staffing, enforcing our immigration laws, improving visa-holder tracking, and ending or reducing H1B-style visa issuances.

Yes, she has decades of experience being a Saudi-promoting, war-mongering, corrupt globalist bitch. Who wants "experience" like THAT?

But could we have depended in her to REPRESENT OUR INTERESTS? I say "no". In fact, I think she was ready to stab us all in the back to satisfy her REAL support group, which wasn't us. She was ready for the TTP and the TTIP on behalf of the transnationals. Ready for direct war in Syria on behalf of Sa

Reporters laughed at the absurdity of the answer and the absurdity of the overall situation. That said, it’s a pretty good indicator of how much Trump has succeeded in lowering the bar in terms of standards of conduct.

Trump has already claimed that Barack Obama left him an economy in a "mess"; that Obama is probably behind all the protests and leaks; and that Obama had him wiretapped during the campaign. Now along comes yet another ugly accusation, trivially proved false, which brings up the question: “Is Trump Nuts?” or the companion question: “Are Trump’s people nuts?”

Man Without an ISIS Plan


On the campaign trail, no foreign policy issue seized Donald Trump more than the fight against the Islamic State. Once president, he signed an executive order giving his generals 30 days to produce a plan to defeat the terrorist group, and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis gave him options on Feb. 27.

Yet if Mr. Trump has decided on a new plan for defeating ISIS, it isn’t obvious. The missions underway in Iraq and Syria were set in motion by President Barack Obama. While they have achieved some tactical successes, they point to a deepening American military involvement in both countries. The question now is whether Mr. Trump will continue, or accelerate, that trend.

Has no one thought that Trump's tweets might be deliberate red herrings? Heck, look at the reward: For a mere 140 characters, or less, he gets people squawking and losing feathers for days!

As president there is a price to pay and he is paying it. Which is why you are stuck defending him so much.
