President Donald J. Trump

Of course not. I don't have anything to prove to a slug like you.

The point is, if we're going to waste time and taxpayer money on a recount, do it right and see what other fraud exists - if any. If none exists, the talking point gets retired.

It's almost like you can't read, but I am used to explaining myself again to children.

I am used to explaining myself again to children.

That's because your ideas are so simplistic. 

[Jackstar]

if any. If none exists,

You may not be aware of this, given that you live somewhere far away where the news is rigorously controlled, but--evidence of fraud has already been found.

You probably didn't get a memo. Fancy that.

Explain yourself, Crackstar. We are going to teach you a little concision in your writing, if it's the last thing we do.

And I am sorry I can't be on Bellgab 19 hours a day, as you are.

The city getting rich from fake news
www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38168281

Many of the fake news websites that sprang up during the US election campaignhave been traced to a small city in Macedonia, where teenagers are pumping out sensationalist stories to earn cash from advertising.

"The Americans loved our stories and we make money from them," he boasts, making sure I see the designer watch he's fiddling with. "Who cares if they are true or false?"
Goran began putting up sensationalist stories, usually plagiarised from right-wing American sites, last summer.
After copying and pasting various articles, hepackaged them under a catchy new headline, paid Facebook to share it with a target US audience hungry for Trump news and then when those Americans clicked on his stories and began to like and share them,he began earning revenue from advertising on the site.

"Teenagers in our city don't care how Americans vote," he laughs. "They are only satisfied that they make money and can buy expensive clothes and drinks!"

I notice some very new and very smartcars while the down-at-heel bars are full of excited young men drinking fancy cocktails. When it was part of theformer Yugoslavia, this city was called Titov Veles after the Yugoslavian President Josip Tito - today I'm told it'sbeen jokingly rechristened Trump Veles.

Trump and his 32D chest, I mean chess. Even Pence isn't endorsing him.

But this; this will really stoke the fire. Oh boy, I'd love to see the faces in Trump's circle, not daring to tell Ol Don his daughter needs a quiet word in her ear.

Fine, well good luck convincing 1.3 billion Muslims that they are a dead loss. What are they supposed to do, bugger off to Mars or something?

Personally, I'd use pop-cultural propaganda and first target sexual liberation as was done in the west and with Christianity. De-Islamicizing the middle east must start with a movement. Movements can be created and orchestrated.

Saying stuff like that doesn't even get close to addressing a problem, it's just posturing. They are no easy answers with that problem and I don't think either side has got anywhere close to coming up with a coherent strategy, but telling a whole faith that they are a lot of naughty boys who ought to know better isn't any good to anyone.

Blindly accepting them has done nothing either except create this bizarre situation where secularism is championed by the left ... except when it comes to Islam. There authoritarianism/sexism in religion must be tolerated under the mantra of diversity. That's not going to work either.

Sure, what could go wrong?

[Jackstar]

Explain yourself, Crackstar.

I'm just as The Creator made me.

This explanation suffices.

Make one wonder whether, if his patients knew about his remarkable beliefs, they would still have allowed him to operate on their brains. I would think not.

OTOH, it hasn't been reported that he bungled a bunch of operations. So, by the same "logic," it makes perfect sense to trust him with HUD, about which he has no expertise, experience or training. What could go wrong?

He can start with Lego and practice solving the homeless crisis. He'll get on top of it in weeks.

Didn't he consider offering Veteran's Affairs to Sarah Palin?  Veterans and HUD are probably two areas on which he doesn't plan to spend much time.

Hes alright with military personel as long as they weren't POW's. Trump's own military record is the standard by which all soldiers, sailors and airmen should aspire if they wish to stay out of trouble.

Sure it is! And he'll have an orderly queue around the WH of company execs telling him they too want the tax payers to pay the tax they don't want to, so they can afford to employ US employees.

The history of HUD is a case in point about how most government agencies and programs grow, consolidate, and take more and more authority from state and local authorities over time and whose primary motivation becomes to contining to grow, increasing (or at least protecting) their budget, and to providing make-work jobs for bureaucrats. He should abolish it or at least severely cut it back to a bare-bones operation with limited focus and power. Since it is very hard to fire federal employees maybe just a slashing of the budget and a "no new hire" policy at that agency and let retirement over-time bleed it out.

I don't I've known several surgeons who were outright assholes personally and in their family relationships but made big $$ and were great in the operating room. I've also seen nurses and doctors who were Muslim, Mormon, and other religions all of which, at least from an outside perspective, can be seen as crazy or holding 'remarkable' beliefs. When it comes to an operation (the actual cutting or procedure you don't really care about the bedside manner or what personal beliefs the surgeon holds but how expert he is at the operation. Often you don't even see him much, he is there for the operation and then off to another.)

HUD is one of the federal departments that ought to be dumped, along with Education, Agriculture, HHS, Energy, Commerce, Labor, and Transportation.

The few useful things they do can be packaged together into one small agency, or transferred to those remaining.  In other words, who cares who runs HUD.  If the states want to waste taxpayer money for this sort of thing they should do so, but not on the federal level.

Ben Carson was one of the top surgeons in the country, and has done more for people than probably everyone in the Obama Administration combined.  I'd prefer someone with a few harmless kooky beliefs to people who think the bigger government grows the better, that taxes should be higher, that Obama should be able to do whatever he wants regardless to the limits to his office, to those who go around inciting race hate.  Yep, I'll take Carson over the Obama department heads any day.  I doubt very much we'll hear garbage about 'White Privilege' or 'Microaggression' from him, and won't that be nice.

Bwahaha... It is both funny and a little scary that even after he wins the election he cannot get over somebody poking fun of him.  It is going to be a VERY rough few years for Trump.  Sad.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/805278955150471168

I think Trump showed fairly clearly during the campaign he doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks.  That doesn't mean he isn't going to respond to it whenever he wants.

This isn't about one person 'poking fun' at him one time.  The people of this country are fed up with Hollywood being so continuously and pervasively one sided when it comes to political 'humor', taking cheap shots in one direction only, and it's great someone at this level is pointing it out.  Trump is playing to his voters with a lot of what he's doing.  If he keeps it up, he'll be wining a lot others over. 

[Jackstar]

Also, he's correct: the Alec Baldwin Trump is far inferior to the Darrell Hammond Trump.


it's a national embarassment

it's a national embarassment

WHEREAS, Christopher Suprun was one of the first responders to the attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001; he also was a first responder during Hurricane Katrina in 2005;

Fifteen years ago, as a firefighter, I was part of the response to the Sept. 11 attacks against our nation. That attack and this year’s election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day.

George W. Bush is an imperfect man, but he led us through the tragic days following the attacks. His leadership showed that America was a great nation. That was also the last time I remember the nation united.

Christopher Suprun lives in Texas and works as a paramedic.

Didn't he consider offering Veteran's Affairs to Sarah Palin?  Veterans and HUD are probably two areas on which he doesn't plan to spend much time.

Apparently, he was considering her and changed his mind. At that point, she decided to criticize him on his Carrier move. The scary thing is that, for once, she was right. And when Sarah Palin is right, whereas your new president-elect is wrong, it's probably safe to assume that the end times have arrived.

Come to think of it, I think Sarah has said we're in the end times (or maybe it was her soul sister, Michele Bachman), so she could very well be right about two things.

What we need is a president who attended a racist Black Liberation Theology ''church'' for 20 years, someone who would bring us together.  Oh wait..

The doctor who was responsible for my birth was born in Iran.  Great guy from what my parents told me.  Usually the highly educated among the Muslims are great people and I'd trust them with my life.  They are pretty much Muslim in name only.  They may hold to a few customs but they clearly aren't jihadists.

Who cares if he likes the show or thinks it's funny? Or cares whether he tweets about it? The audience likes it and is laughing (the Kellyanne performance is actually very funny also) and what else is there for a comedy show? As they say, lighten up Francis. Laugh while you still can.
