After all, if we're not collecting taxes, somethings gotta go and it sure as hell won't be shareholders in Lockheed Martin that feel the pinch - gotta get the cash out of the hands of those greedy pensioners, disabled people and the sick first. Oh but he'll say pussy or some such on Monday and "we will all" spend the week debating how truly awful that is instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the POTUS re-Tweeting extreme right views is akin to saying "pussy", right? Edited December 4, 2017 by bobzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted December 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2017 He might do us all a favor and keel over with this diet Quote and the paper says it paints a picture of a presidential appetite that “seems to know no bounds” at McDonald’s. A typical dinner from there, according to Lewandowski and Bossie: “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.” That is a meal with two 540-calorie burgers, two 410-calorie fish sandwiches, and a 772-calorie shake (if he gets a medium size), for a grand total of 2,672 calories, 117 grams of fat, 3,556 milligrams of sodium, and 326 milligrams of cholesterol. The recommended daily calorie intake for a not-terribly-active man of Trump’s age is 2,000 to 2,200, and the American Heart Association warns not to exceed 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day unless you like high blood pressure. http://www.grubstreet.com/2017/12/trumps-fast-food-diet-gets-even-more-unsettling.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not bad. tl;dr Quote ...It was this politics of narcissistic identification, of fanciful private bonding with the famous, that set us up for, first, the disappointment with Obama, and then, the appalling shock of Trump.

il_serpente Posted December 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2017 So I read where a woman who dated Roy Moore as a 17-year old has shown a scrapbook with a graduation card from him with the exact same handwriting as what's in the high school yearbook of the other woman who they claimed had faked it. She said he didn't assault her and had nothing against him until he claimed he had never met any of them and she saw the handwriting in the yearbook and knew he was lying. Amazingly, the media here haven't really jumped on it and Trump and the RNC have just backtracked and have endorsed Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The trouble is the only evidence is 'he said she said' and he has not been convicted of it. Whilst it seems likely that the guy is a sleaze bag he has plausible denial and the Trumpsters can hang their hat on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's akin to looking for a gas leak with a candle. Not content with ruining the USA for generations he is now storing up problems for the entire world that will last long beyond his time. The tax cuts are through, they got what they wanted can the top 1% that run the world cut him loose now, or is this the Orwellian thing where we need to be in a perpetual state of war to better enable the suppression of the masses whilst the rich can enjoy the spoils without fear of revolution?

Yup, another way to see this is that it simply removes the mask of "freedom and democracy" that the USA has been peddling and reveals the nation for what it is. Explicit support of Israel is just a change from what was previously implicit. Remember, the USA was pretty much the last nation to go against SA, back in the apartheid days. Any thought that morals or ethics matter in the USA are naive when compared with the need to profit. Hence, tax reform over all else. The really deep point is that the average american benefits only mildly and is a pretty good guy/gal. Know your enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
