I have suggested this before and been roundly chided by the crowd here. The new Secretary of Defense has just ordered 8% be cut from the military budget for each of the next five years. That’s over $300 billion. Why is it okay because Trump wants it? Sounds like a Putin dream come true. If anyone here defends this, you are nothing but a shameless sycophant.

Not a reporter. A whole news organization. Associated Press. Because they refuse to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as anything else. They don’t call it what Trump says to call it. That abridges their right to call it by either name, or no name, for that matter. Denied access by the commander in chief because they don’t say it the way HE wants. Could it be any clearer?

Saying and doing are two different things. Surely you realize that by this stage of life.

He doesn’t have to talk to anyone if he so chooses. Not very American, but then again…

So, the president who brags about his ability to end wars and says no wars happened under his first watch is threatening to invade the most inflammatory region on the globe and suddenly it’s cool. The irony keeps getting sadder.

I want to hear your definition.

None. They haven’t gone into effect. He just paused them on Canada, too. A bluff don’t work for long. He’s a blowhard bluffer who hasn’t a clue to what he’s doing.

If that is true, why were tariffs even necessary?

What is a “true American”?

Felony conviction is enough for me.

Sure. Would you be friends with a Hispanic who felt otherwise. “Some of my best friends are…” is a racist tell.

Yeah, I’m sure the stories to follow of people starving because they aren’t wanted, you know, the aliens the Christ said we are to care for will thrill all the Cristian Nationalist that populate this place.

Sounds to me like the UAW deserves the credit, but Trump steals glory like a true dictator. [Hidden Content]#

We will have to pay all that money to state employees who will be overrun with responsibility? Economy of scale is a real thing. FEMA needs some retooling. My bet is the states would prefer to not have that responsibility. The governors won’t have the Federal Government to blame when their state by state policies mess disaster victims up. Not politically expedient.

Gone ‘til next time, that is. I’m still watching the moron, just not engaging until he does stuff and his peeps keep believing stuff that a sixth grader should know better than.

Wouldn’t it more appropriately be called Gulf of the Americas? It sure wouldn’t be shown on a map as being spelled in Stars and Stripes. Stupid as ever. I’m gone.

I obviously knew not of what I spoke.

2015. I said one of three states would flip. Florida was least likely of the three, but I will bat at least .333. That gets you in the hall of fame.

I maintain my stated position today. The end is near for Donald Trump’s political career.

We’re in the same boat there.

I refer to people in similar situations (silver spoon and all) as accidents of birth. All they had to go to get it is be born. Remember the song Wind-Up by Jethro Tull on Aquakung?
