Yeah, Scott  Adams nailed it.  Personally, I thought nothing about this, and didn't think anything about the Obama Cowboy Clown either.  Everyone has a different sense of humor and neither are my thing so I really didn't care.

Put me in the group of people who thinks Trump is an embarrassment to our country, and to his credit I'm sure he never thought he'd be elected, which is why he acted so crazy during the election.  I just thought he'd mature afterward but it hasn't happened.  Like Adams said, I don't understand how others don't see what I'm seeing.


Why do you think he did not think he would be elected?  You think he just did it for the hell of it?  Winners and successful people don't generally do something just for fun.  Ask yourself, would he have put himself through all of this if he didn't have some goals in mind?  He had it about as cushy as one can and yet decided that he needed to do this.  Can you not fathom that he may love his country and was tired of seeing it sold down the river.  The Paris accord is one example, we pay out billions while India and China do nothing. What kind of fucking fool would sign up for that?

This is a case where I'm convinced you're wrong, but I hope you're right.

What lifestyle changes have you enacted in order to stop the damage?

No. This is a Republic of States.  To have Federal automatic voter registration would be a major undermining of states powers. One more step to making the U.S. an empire instead of a federation of states.

Good grief.

It's not a conspiracy.  We're dooming ourselves and there is no second chance.  I wouldn't care if it was only going to take down the people not willing to make changes, but it takes the rest of us down with you.

Yeah, I have heard that before.  As a kid in the 70's I bought into what my school was selling me on the Earth cooling due to the "Greenhouse" effect, and the obliteration of the ozone layer.  Time magazine published the coming Ice Age on their cover.  Guess what?  Nothing happened.  Now I see where our own government agencies like NOAA, and NASA used falsified data, or actually went back and "modified" data to support big government solutions to man made climate change.  No thanks. 

It seems Obama's inner circle is a little upset.  Awwww, poor babies.

Quote
]“Malicious idiocy derived from willful ignorance motivated by avarice,” Obama’s former senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer wrote, reacting to the news.

“Have been in two European cities today. News is all Paris. Vibe is mournful,” wrote Obama’s former speechwriter Cody Keenan. “Feels like U.S. giving up 75 years of global leadership.”
Keenan also wrote that Trump would be “cursed and loathed” by future generations because of his decision.
 
Obama’s former National Security advisor Susan Rice also indicated her disappointment.
“The cumulative effect of Trump policies, capped by his foolish, tragic Paris decision = abdication of America’s global leadership,” she wrote. “Shame!”

“Trump destroying ability of any US President, including himself, to garner long term international commitments on anything,” wrote Jesse Lee, a former White House director of rapid response. “Make US word meaningless.”

“Literally every other major government and political party in the world believes this except for the US and GOP – a staggering disconnect,” former National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes lamented on Twitter.

He described White House economic advisor Gary Cohn and H.R. McMaster “complicit” in the acceleration of “the destruction of our planet
.”

Lol, in what world is she "little-known"?  If she was so insignificant, she wouldn't have made headlines everywhere parodying a Game of Thrones photo shoot. 

Personally, I think it's in poor taste, but hardly anything that anyone should be outraged over.  Conservative republicans looking like the snowflakes getting their feelings hurt on this one.

I recall seeing Obama hung in effigy a while back and I was just as outraged.  I hated Obama and am thrilled he's out of the White House, but people who do that sort of thing are suggesting violent insurrection. It's encouraging people to have thoughts about assassination of a sitting President and THAT is sedition.  I don't tolerate it from anyone toward any President. It's got nothing to do with "snowflake feelings".  What she did is extremely hostile and promoting hate, very lamely disguised as "comedy". It's atrocious, just like anyone suggesting we hang Obama was atrocious. But the anti-Obama sentiment NEVER reached the levels we're seeing out of the left today toward Trump and anyone supporting him. The liberal left is a runaway train of hatred unlike anything I've ever seen in my life, and I saw the KKK burning crosses in the 1960s.

I've been called worse.   ;D

I wonder why the Democrats/media/left/progressives are so vehemently against voter ID, yet it is OK to require it for EVERYTHING else?

Because then they can't CHEAT at the voting place as easily.
The ONLY THING democrats care about is holding and gaining power.

Things as insignificant as the environment, people, the poor, civil rights, and the myriad of other things they babble about are simply distractions and tools they use to hijack power so they can steal from the taxpayers.

The real world definition of democrat has become: projecting hypocrite.
Sooner Avitation has reminded us of this... again.

1238
I think the bigger issue is the hypocrisy of the left. Lucifer posted several instances where someone made fun of Obama and they were demolished for it but so far there's been a lack of backlash over this. We'll see if CNN fires her from the New Year's Eve gig but I won't hold my breath.

Yep.  This is the left signalling in effigy that they would back a bloody coup, a physical beheading just like the sick Islamic terrorists. This is at core WHO THEY ARE.  I hope the Secret Service tears her a new one.

We have an out of control media feeding us Democrat propaganda.

Assault isn't acceptable.

Which is probably why he got a fine for it and apologized the next day.  By local law, what he did was a misdemeanor, similar to public nudity or public drunkness.  We have all done and said things when we got angry that we should not have.  Only Dems are losing their mind over this.  It was wrong, but we don't need to take the guy out and shoot him.

We all hope he does better when he gets to Congress.

My God you're absolutely right.  Real ID standards discriminate against blacks and poor white trash. We need to get DHS to back off that shit. Otherwise commercial flying won't be like Greyhound anymore.

You guys aren't paying attention to me. 

I think you're dead right on that.

The NSA needed new rules, and whomever was President after 9/11 would have issued them. So much for blaming Bush, Steingar.  As for what Obama was doing, I say again I won't judge until I know exactly what he was trying to do and that means evidence not conjecture.

The NSA has new rules, but the trouble is that the new rules don't appear to be fully followed.  The new situation creates opportunities to use the power of our intelligence for partisan purposes to spy on the other guys - in this case, Republicans.  There is adequate evidence that this has happened, including the unmasking of Gen Flynn (no relation) and a more general 350% increase in unmaskings of Americans ordered by political appointees during the year preceding the election.

When the new rules were put in place, we were promised that this would never happen.  But in DC, never just means "a year or two until your forget".

Spin Zone / Re: Trump's FY18 Budget Proposal
« on: May 27, 2017, 08:14:02 AM »
Gave it a quick read, would give it 3 stars out of 5 in the Science Fiction category - pretty much like any other Presidential budget.  The Republicans have their pet spending ideas, the Democrats have their's, just shifting the costs around, and rosy predictions.  Some quick observations. 

1.) Any estimate past two years is an educated guess, anything past 5 years is just a plain guess.
2.) The 3% GDP growth rate, while possible, is pretty optimistic.  If that doesn't happen, the future year estimates are garbage.
3.) Government spending continues to rise.
4.) Note that the budget still shows revenue from the estate & gift tax, thought the President was going to abolish that.
5.) Since the tax reform is still conceptual, hard to predict the effect.  The budget seems to assume that revenues will continue to increase without missing a beat.  How the President will implement HUGE tax cuts and still pull that off is beyond me.
6.) There is that 2 trillion in "effect of economic feedback".  I've heard that it is the revenue increase that makes the tax cuts revenue neutral.  If that is true, then his budget table (S-1) is correct.  Not sure you can also then show that 2 trillion as a separate line item on Table S-2 as deficit reduction.  That needs clarification.
7.) the "two-penny Plan' (1.4 trillion in savings) is pretty nebulous.
8.) There is still an increase of a trillion dollars in the national debt over the next two years. And continued increases after that.

Guess I'll need to dive in with some more detail later.

I guess reality and liberal hyperbole is a hard choice for you to make

but

THE ESTATE TAX is the law until it is abolished by congress.

Stay with me here...

CONGRESS is not Donald Trump.

I know hating Donald Trump is paramount in the minds of every democrat. I understand your devotion to the agenda.

CONGRESS is an elected body. Its members are elected along something called a CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS is not another name for Donald Trump.

Other than the horrible years under Obama, three percent is a strong rate of growth. You are confused by the paltry movement along those lines made common by the FORMER President, Obama.

Obama is not another name for Donald Trump.

There is another item in the budget proposed by President Trump that address reducing government. The budget proposes closing down a number of agencies that created by the executive branch but were never approved by CONGRESS.

CONGRESS is not another name for Donald Trump.

Another big story regarding Trump/Russia.

If I ever see any real evidence of any real wrongdoing, I might be troubled.

But so far it is a bunch of rumor spread by un-named, anonymous sources of possible links to things that may or may not have actually been a problem.  But that is enough for WaPo, and if it is enough for WaPo, then it is enough for all the rest of the frenzied media.  And if it is enough fore the frenzied media, then it is enough for 47% of the US population.
