Trump discussion

[Barney Google]

Well, The Donald has pulled off another blundering bull in the China shop move and pronged his

ill conceived horns into the Cuba/US agreement. Is there no bounds in his idiotic madness?

It must be a total whacked out Gong Show being around this guy every day.

I bet the WH staff see an increase in requests for stress leave and wage increases.

What is going on with this health care bill? Why won't they release it to the public. Why aren't the representatives even reading it before they vote on it? They complained about how big the ACA was. Too many pages to read. Well nobody knows how many pages this bill is, but they still refuse to read it. Why can't republicans do their job? I thought it was the lefties who were supposed to be slackers that don't want to work.

Wonder if Trump supporters remember when he campaigned for the forgotten guy by saying he:

denounced Wall Street for having “robbed our working class,” a reference to the jobs, wages, savings and home equity wiped out in the financial crash. 

Well if they do Trump's review of the Dodd-Frank shouldn't make them very happy.

The review calls for weakening many of the law’s central provisions and offers no alternatives.

CBC:
Trump attorney says president not under investigation

Aides advise Trump to stay off Twitter, but president tweets anyway from Camp David

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-atto ... -1.4166487

"...The president wrote on Twitter Friday: "I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt."..."

"...While aides have advised Trump to stay off Twitter, the president continued to weigh in Sunday as he spent the weekend at Camp David, the government-owned presidential retreat in Maryland.

In a two-part tweet posted before 7 a.m., Trump wrote: "The MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN agenda is doing very well despite the distraction of the Witch Hunt."..."


Hummm...so Mr. President, didn't YOU go on National television and say YOU fired Comey???...

where's the "Witch Hunt" of which you have been speaking/tweeting of??? Your lawyer says there is no investigation?

Someone (s) being a liar, liar...pants on fire...

I read that. Then I think about how changes and trends come first to the most "connected" places, like New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston etc. Resource based areas and rural areas see slower change, and tend to be more manual labor oriented.

Trump loses Philadelphia, wins most of the rural and smaller town areas of Pennsylvania.

Guns N' Roses, Ronald Reagan, the Berlin Wall comes down, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Return of the Jedi, VCRs, supply-side economics, Z-28s, Smokey and the Bandit. Unemployment dropping from 10.8 to 5.3%, interest rates dropping from a ridiculous 18% to a reasonable 5%. The 1980s were an upbeat time for small town/rural/industrial America.

I wonder how many illegals voted this past election????

If this report is true...Trump won the popular vote too!

Washington Times article...

New study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes

A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.

As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.

The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.

The meme of illegal voting is clearly spin.

The states control the election system and voter registration etc. 64% of the state governments are Republican controlled. Would they allow an election system that is open to a lot of illegal voting? I think not.

I also can not imagine how any politician would want a system where illegal voting in any significant numbers could happen. There are monitors from both parties at polling sites, you just couldn't hide it. IF there was any indication of illegal voting there would be lawsuits flying all over the place. The fact that there aren't shows that illegal voting just ain't a big deal.

As usual, you have to look carefully at the source of any information provided by averagejoe. In his post above, he links to a story from The Washington Times. While not as ultra-conservative as many he's linked to in the past, this pub is still rated by 'Media Bias Fact Check' as:

"...slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation."

So the numbers are now showing the Republican won but the fact that it's as close as it is speaks volumes!!!
