Mark F Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Quote The Soul-Sucking, Attention-Eating Black Hole of the Trump Presidency While we endlessly watch for the latest blunder or scandal, America is being pulled dangerously off course. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/03/24/trump-narcissim-trancendental-solopsim-opportunity-cost-media-cycle-greatness-china/ Quote as Trump sucks America into his ego’s gravitational field, into the swirling black hole of his neediness and delusions of grandeur, our country, too, seems less relevant. As one Chinese business leader said to me recently, “You have become preoccupied. That is not necessarily a bad thing for us.” For example America will lose some very large business opportunties if Trump manages to derail renewable energy. I don't think he can though.

Definitely some truth to this article but it's hard to take this guy seriously while he criticizes Trump's lack of rhetoric in regards to North Korea while simultaneously heaping praise on China, North Korea's only real ally.

do or die Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) The next interesting episode of reality TV in the House, will occur as federal government funding expires on April 28th. In 2013 Ted Cruz and his supporters manufactured a total shutdown of all Government business. Ryan is probably aware that this cost the former Speaker, Mr.Boehner HIS job. The optics of a shutdown, despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress - would be a hugely, bigly, and immense political disaster, for the Republicans....that would totally dwarf the recent Healthcare defeat. Of course, the now emboldened Freedom Caucus are insisting that all Federal monies for Planned Parenthood be blocked - in exchange for their support. Obstructionist zealots, can be real hard to deal with, as Trump already knows. The House Brand Tea Baggers will demand that funding for the almighty Wall be included. However, big name Republicans from the Border States (McCain, Cornyn, Flake, Hurd et al.) are worried about both the money and private property rights, with building this Wall. Some of them will probably vote against it. The funding might come down to being dependent on some Democratic support - but in that case, the Dems could demand that a certain amount of the military spending or proposed tax breaks for the wealthy be scaled back... Getting some of this stuff by the Senate? (like eliminating PP, which would be DOA) Merely future headaches.

do or die Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 If you can stand to read this stuff through to the end....and wash hands afterwards. An inside look at Jared Kushner - official White House foreign relations advisor for Canada, Mexico, China and of course The Middle East. Also President Trump's son-in-law.... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-01-27/jared-kushner-s-felon-father-brought-two-fellow-inmates-into-company He should be formally adopted.... as being a real chip of the ole block.

Then suggested that Japan might need nuclear weapons. Which will never happen. Trump and company is All chaos all the time. So other countries will take advantage of this. They'd be stupid not to.

Mark F Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) More to LOL about......Some blowback from Trump's ill considered attacks on Mexico: Quote Mexico, the world's biggest buyer of US corn, is considering offering duty-free access to Brazilian or Argentine maize as an alternative to American imports in a move that could have big consequences for US farmers worried about President Donald Trump's trade and tax agenda. Mexico currently imports 98 per cent of its corn from the US and total US farm sales to Mexico were $17.7 billion last year - five times greater than when the North American Free Trade Agreement came into force Border states also stand to lost a LOT of money and that is not fake.

The Unknown Poster Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 The people who said "we dont want a politician as President. We want someone who talks real"...well, sorry to burst your bubble but it should be no surprise that a political positions requires some politics (and diplomacy). Trump is out of his element. And lets not even pretend that Trump is actively the master of his admin anyway. He spends so much time doing other things, like golfing, that he's leaving it to his lieutenants that are corrupt. And they dont care about blowback because it's Trump who is going to be painted as a failure, not them. Remember when W was the example of a "poor President"? Yowza.

Mark F Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Good article about Texas and Trump Quote For 30 years, Texas has been on the winning side of history, getting downright rich off the global trading system that arose after the Cold War. Now, that wealth is about to be taken away in one of the greatest smash-and-grabs in U.S. history.

do or die Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 In 2015, the US imported 295 Billion dollars worth of products from Mexico - agricultural products, machinery, oil, etc. Who in the hell does Trump think ....will ultimately pay for a border tax? Other than American consumers - as an example, taxing Mexican crude oil, would hit US motorists squarely in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yup, watched that same Homeland episode. Which got me to thinking..... For all the stuff about Trump being unpredictable or not knowing what he is doing ...... a far bigger spotlight needs to be put on the actual man with a actual plan.... Steve Bannon "Organized chaos" Major dismantling of the administrative structures within the US, discrediting the mainstream media and the judiciary, and destabilizing relations with long time allies. Jingoistic and isolationist white nationalism, that uses the themes of hatred, fear, bigotry, and the byline of Aryan supremacy to divide the country, while misleading and "re-educating" the masses. Muslims, immigrants of any sort, educational and perceived social "elites" and "Leftists" (broad brushed as Socialists, Communists, criminals and traitors). Repeating the big lie (or in this case, the multiple lies) over and over again to embed them into the daily narrative/reality. Even a cursory glance at the comments/discussion pages of sites like Brietbart, Fox, and some of the Drudge network, will tell you just how well this approach is actually working Getting big "government" out of the lives of Americans - to be replaced, of course.....with more intrusion of big business and corporate entities. As example, Americans can now kiss any vestige of their Internet privacy.... goodbye. After only 67 days of this administration.....does any of this look and sound familiar? Gives one the creeps... Trump is basically the flim flamming, carny barker, front man all of for this. The Don is simply happy enough to have the prestige, massive attention and ego stroking 24/7....and of course, to continue to further feather the nest, big time - for both himself and his family. He can pull the ripcord at anytime, have somebody write him some more books, and cook up some more "reality" TV..... Remarkable that in the myriad list of "enemies", I have traced above - the Russians in general and Putin in particular are nowhere to be seen, Or perhaps not that remarkable. ps - the surest way to get to the bottom of the "relationship" with the Russians is to simply follow the money. This applies to Trump, his family, and his advisors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
