Hey quite the opposite - all good. If anything this should be discussed more in the (right kind of?) media a lot more often. I’m guessing Fox wouldn’t cover such a story. Would/have they?
Meanwhile I hope you don’t mind that I stupidly overloooked that you had posted in that thread.
My old coach used to say, when speaking of character, “if you hang around crap, you will stink.” The obvious, yet unspoken, corollary is that if everyone around you stinks, you’re shit. Trump and his “everyone else is lying, It’s everyone else’s fault! Sad!” reminds me of this.
Expect another EO soon, cousin. As I’ve mentioned before, Мистер Ориндж really believes that being president is exactly like Cecil B. DeMille’s pharaoh (“So shall it be written; so shall it be done”). The twerp is an illiterate (at the very least, functionally illiterate) and seems to believe the written word, most especially his written word, has an unconquerable magic. This very well might be why he freaks out more at his executive orders being challenged more than he freaks out about insults to his petty ego.
That’s because they know what a liar he is.
I have a question.
Did the U.S. recently pass any new sanctions against Russia? The only thing I’ve seen recently was that Congress passed a bill that limited Trump’s ability to lift existing sanctions. If that’s the case, why would Putin choose to retaliate now? Nothing has really changed in terms of our relations with Russia; the status quo is more entrenched than ever. I just wonder if Putin expected sanctions to be lifted, and was angry to discover that they wouldn’t be.
Yes. That bill included new sanctions on Russia along with sanctions on Iran and North Korea.
And fighting back takes considerable acumen and time. In grad school I spent ridiculous amounts of time fighting medical bills and helping my coworkers fight theirs, and this was for a bunch of “kids” in our 20s whose most dangerous condition was fertility.

And from one of the GOP legislators so happy to have this incontinent excuse for a human in power:
[QUOTE=GOP leader, complaining about gay marriage]
“And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort (of) tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.”

Do these guys need to synchronize their messages?
But what about the fallout - escalated two weeks ago - over the the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds? Surely that got the current ball rolling with Putin’s wish to retaliate, realising преЦАРдент Trump may not be quite as obsequious as he’d hoped in relinquishing the compounds?
I decided some time ago that one of the most important reasons to retire early if you or a family member has a medical condition is that dealing with the insurance company and the doctors is a full-time job.
A good friend of mine is a nurse. She was literally in tears as she told me about her issues with heir insurance company. One example of her issues: Her husband had a small stroke on a Saturday evening. Naturally she rushed him to the ER. The insurance company didn’t want to pay because they hadn’t gotten pre-authorization.
No shit. Even the simplest of procedures creates a mountain of paperwork. And you never know when it will stop coming.
I read a piece this morning by the Washington Post on Twitter that is warning the media about Scara"moochi". They said reporters are going to have to learn a new game, the game played by dirty WallStreet bankers. A whole new version of shark.
He’s the stupidest man in that room and he knows it.
I’m wondering if a sex tape would actually damage Trump at all. Because I do believe that most of his minions think that the Trumpster is and has been quite willing to exercise his considerable libido with any willing woman, and are fine with that aspect of his personality. I think that the prostitutes would have to be clearly underage to really have the maximum “outrage effect”. Or perhaps if he could be seen forcing himself upon an unwilling woman.
Does any one else agree with me?
I saw this description of Trump in the comments section of this article:
John Oliver was on break for three weeks. He made up for it Sunday
Sums it up quite nicely.
I donno. I doubt that he has the capability of introspection.
I think he’s just a dumb fuck.
Yep. He is incapable of shame. As are his base supporters. They’d think it was cool.
My far out Alex Jones-type conspiracy theory is the Russians may have something showing incest between Trump and Ivanka. I mean, what could possibly shame Trump?
Even if it were proven that he is beholden to the Russian oligarchs–and by extension, Putin–financially, Trump would probably spin it as an example of his business genius at finding sources of “alternative financing”:
“Hey, if the Russians want to loan me money, I’d be stupid not to take it. That makes me tremendously smart. Believe me, nobody know more about taking money than I do…and Hillary’s emails.”
Might be the one thing that doesn’t play with his base.
Here’s the second-most irritating thing about that statement: when someone’s been dead for 150 years, I think it’s OK to drop the “late” when describing him. We can safely assume everyone has gotten the word that Lincoln belongs to the ages now.
Coming from a man who thinks Frederick Douglass is still alive and just entering his prime, I’ll take it.
