President Donald J. Trump

[VtaGeezer]

Don't remember what the tweet said, but she attacked Trump 2-3 days ago on twitter.  He fired back with both barrels.

I dunno. Warren's been dumping on DT for weeks on FB.  Why is he going off on her now? And why so extensively?  He's making her even more of a hero. There's no love lost between her and Clinton Inc.  The only reason she's backing HMH is party loyalty and her Senate future. Hillary hates her because Warren had more inside-the-party support to run against her than Sanders does ever will. It was rumored that Obama asked her to run against Clinton.

Not everyone outside of the US is against Trump-  Hindus ask gods to help Trump.

I have no dog in this fight anymore.  The only reasons why I will vote for Trump are

A)  The Supreme Court

B)  The Supreme Court

C)  The Supreme Court

D)  The hope that he will indeed enforce immigration laws.

E)  The hope that he will bring jobs back to America

F)  The Supreme Court

Honestly though if the Supreme Court wasn't an issue, I'd probably vote for the Libertarian.

The Supreme Court is exactly where I'd like to see Ted Cruz go from here. He'd be perfect.

You'll get no argument from me on that point.  He is exactly what is needed on the Court right now.

Cruz and Obama is the best we can do on the Supreme court?  We are screwed. Aren't justices supposed to be non political for the most part?

Umm, it's NOT a thin line between not hating brown people and not wanting them to fuck your wife or your country.

Remember those dweebs in high-school on the yearbook committee?
They grew up to be politicians. Bottom of the barrel.

That is absolutely without any foundation.

Some of my close co-workers and best friends are reptoids.

LOL.  It's supposed to be that way but I don't think it has been like that for, oh say, 70 years at least.

[FightTheFuture]

"Self funding" is what first got my attention.  Not paying homage to PC is another.  Not being owned/controlled  by anyone or anything is a big one.  There's more of course.

He is not self-funding. That`s a lie he continues to promulgate through his glassy-eyed followers.
And now, He has brought in the Goldman-Sachs boys to finance his general election. Trump is a pathological liar, so I don`t necessarily blame him; he just can`t help himself.

After watching him grill Hillary on the emails I can see why Trump is a fan.

My homie, Trey, is the man. I`m just not so sure he would want to be a part of Trump`s circus.

I had thought that it was the worst move that he could make when I first heard it.  but it really seems like his supporters don't care at all.  the attitude seems to be "Yeah, he lied- all politicians do.  And they are worse- so no big deal."

[FightTheFuture]

And so it begins

http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/washington-post-bob-woodward-donald-trump-reporters/2016/05/11/id/728416/

"There's a lot we don't know," Woodward told the National Association of Realtors convention, according to The Washington Examiner. "We have 20 people working on Trump, we're going to do a book, we're doing articles about every phase of his life."

They might or might not care, but they're willing to ignore what would otherwise trouble them because a) They appreciate seeing Trump do his number on the party and the system and they're enjoying the ride and b) Nothing Trump has said or done as a candidate has hurt or cost them yet.

That would change for some Trump supporters if he actually got elected. But for members of the Trump cult, they would continue to ignore, excuse or rationalize anything he did. I would expect the unexpected and also predict a rough ride ahead before the country gets its bearings.

Before Thatcher was elected the first time in May 1979, she (rightly to a point) accused the then incumbent Labour government of basically doing whatever the major (and powerful) trade unions told them to do. The fact we'd had mass strikes because the government didn't capitulate was neither here nor there. She also said that nationalised industry had to stand on it's own two feet and be free of the taxpayer bailing it out (funny though how that sacred cow the taxpayer is getting good value when she sold off the railways and we ended up paying private companies much more in subsidies than we ever did when it was a nationlised company)..

My point being is that a lot of well intentioned and former Labour supporters elected the Conservatives into office and then watched their employer (nationalised company), go to the wall. In this area alone over 60000 people in less than three years, just in the steel industry lost their job. That doesn't include suppliers, engineering firms or the employees in the cafes around and about the plants.

They were sold the dream that after de-nationalisation came the same but private investment. Didn't happen. But as some pithy newspaper columnist asked at the time: "Look in the car parks, how many Japanese cars are in them?"

Same goes there. Trump says he'll make the USA great: really? Will he over tax foreign car imports (as Reagan tried with Honda motorcycles-didn't work, Honda simply opened a factory in the USA to make their Goldwings*), to skew the market and make crap US cars more appealing?

Trump is full of shit. He's back peddling on his anti Muslim travel ban; downgraded to an 'option'. He's no different to any other political animal feeding their ego.


* The background was quite amusing. Harley Davidson almost went to the wall, because their antiquated and overpriced heap of angle iron wasn't competing against the quite sophisticated and modern Honda Goldwing. Reagan couldn't directly subsidise HD, so instead put tariffs on the Goldwing imports from Japan. Making them ridiculously expensive. Honda knew they could sell as many Goldwings as they built, so availed themselves of various tax breaks and a local workforce and opened a factory specifically to make the Goldwing, in the USA.

HD woke up and smelled the coffee and realised they needed to drag themselves into the 20th century. The hand holding didn't stop Goldwing sales though.

He also first said that he'd lower everyone's taxes.  Now he says he'll raise the taxes on the wealthy.  I wonder whom he considers 'wealthy'? 

The guy just shoots off his mouth to what he thinks is appropriate for the occasion, and then must retract his comments later. 

The way to make change is effective campaign financing regulations and to repeal Citizens United.  Trump, if in office, will make no difference.  It would be business as usual.

Look, I point this out in a spirit of friendly advice, you northern numbskull, but it's 'its' when it's a possessive. 'It's' is just short for  'it is'. You can take your apostrophe and put it where the monkey put the nuts. If you do this one more time I shall get extremely cross and legs will have to be slapped. I'm guessing the gargling primitive dialect they taught you in that tin shack (education discontinued by age 5 so he could work down t'mine) didn't extend to the finer points, so you are more to be pitied than censured, but every time I see you do that I need to go and lie down in darkened room.

We have learned, Tarzan. You're only showing off because the women (those that have a weak pulse) get all giddy when you broadcast your dulcet tones, forcing them to go and lie down and stare at the ceiling for a few minutes... ahem.

I have had to get a new bed, the other one got so many notches in it the bloody thing collapsed. However, I shall be monitoring your posts with a gimlet eye from now on, and any further transgressions will require me to come down on you like a ton of anthracite. If I had a ruler, and was anywhere near you, your knuckles would be stinging right now.

I feel I missed out by being raised by pit ponies and not Jesuit Monks. Simply being kicked in the head can't be as clinical and precise as that when a 'Shatterproof' twelve incher is wielded by a man of the cloth preaching forgiveness and compassion.

Sounds like a funny guy! Normally butlers are so mild-mannered and don't speak unless spoken-too type of thing. But 85 and "came with the house."

I'm surprised Obama's SS hasn't at least visited him for his threats (or near threats depending one views USC United States Code Title 18, Section 871 because ""U.S. Attorney's Manual, "Of the individuals who come to the Secret Service's attention as creating a possible danger to one of their protectees, approximately 75 percent are mentally ill") or, more likely, because Obama feels this will damage Trump. Likewise interesting that FB and other social hasn't banned him for "hate speech" -or even just even conservative leanings- as they have so many others. Likely because they figure it will hurt Trump. But it won't, and that is what is even more funny!
