caulfield12 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 5, 2018 -> 12:22 PM) Shocking you respond to my post with a post that is completely unrelated to my question. No, it’s not. (And how much did Kobach’s Commission waste in tax dollars running down rampant/widespread voting fraud?) Where do you want to continue to cut from the Federal budget, in order to lower taxes? It’s that simple. I have no problem paying a fair amount of taxes. I simply don’t believe that the middle class should pay a higher actual/effective rate than the Top 2-3% or corporations who exploit loopholes, accountants, offshoring, lawyers and PAC contributions to pay far less. Do you? If you think that’s just the way it is, the American Way...so be it. I also don’t understand why we’re increasing weapons spending by huge amounts yet completely gutting the State Department. What is our strategy moving forward? Isolationism/America First or intervening with every foreign nation around the world by threatening to use force against them? To force China and Russia to work more closely together? Who is setting it? Trump? Or McMaster, Kelly and Mattis?

All of a sudden Trump and his state-sponsored media tell you that this is a thing so you start paying attention. And what do you know...you start noticing people when they say Merry Christmas! If Trump said that people need to start saying "bless you" again when someone sneezes, you'll start noticing when people say it after you sneeze and come to the conclusion that people are now saying it again! Amazing how that works. Why do you guys waste time explaining things to a troll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't. Frankly I don't usually want to know. I only am scared over whether or not he'll actually kill anyone this week. Until then, all he's done so far is give me a 3 year tax cut in exchange for a much larger tax increase in 5 years, make my air worse, and potentially make it impossible to buy health care if I lose my job. Next on the list that affects me will likely be allowing a year or two of fraud of the sort that triggered the 2001 and 2008 economic meltdowns in the financial industry, but the bill for that doesn't come due until the federal reserve cranks interest rates up more.

The genius label has to do with him as a producer. There's a really good documentary about Jerry Lewis that talks about how innovative he was. It's worth a watch, but I was kind of making a joke because I can picture Jerry Lewis doing what trump is doing in your avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 ”Donald J. Trump is a libel bully. Like most bullies, he's also a loser, to borrow from Trump's vocabulary," the report stated. "Trump and his companies have been involved in a mind-boggling 4,000 lawsuits over the last 30 years and sent countless threatening cease-and-desist letters to journalists and critics. But the GOP presidential nominee and his companies have never won a single speech-related case filed in a public court.” http://www.medialaw.org/index.php?option=c...tem&id=3470 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) So out of curiosity I decided to go read Breitbart and see what reactions are to the Bannon/Trump thing. Shockingly, most are coming down on the side of Trump. To me this is pretty concerning, because Trump was everything that Bannon followers hate for 90% of his life. Only recently did he become a "Republican" and id say without Bannon vouching for him most wouldnt have really believed Trump was a conservative at all. Its like they have completely bought the Trump snake oil and they dont even care what is said about him anymore. Im no Bannon fan, but to reading the comments, he is now being paid by Soros/China and is a liberal. Its pretty scary how people can cling to a leader based on a few catchphrases.

StrangeSox Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Working hard. https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-sne...58a6102b93.html President Trump is starting his official day much later than he did in the early days of his presidency, often around 11am, and holding far fewer meetings, according to copies of his private schedule shown to Axios. This is largely to meet Trump’s demands for more “Executive Time,” which almost always means TV and Twitter time alone in the residence, officials tell us. The schedules shown to me are different than the sanitized ones released to the media and public. The schedule says Trump has "Executive Time" in the Oval Office every day from 8am to 11am, but the reality is he spends that time in his residence, watching TV, making phone calls and tweeting. Trump comes down for his first meeting of the day, which is often an intelligence briefing, at 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2018 Goodwin actually wrote “his is turning out to be an enormously consequential presidency”—one of the few things we agree on—but for whatever reason, Trump’s mind seems to be circling the concept of “consent” lately. Things didn’t get better with his follow-up tweet, which, for some reason, included Goodwin’s email address. ....failed policies, washes away any doubts that America made the right choice.
