Cont: The Trump Presidency Part III

[dudalb]

Im not saying my statement is able to be discussed. There are reasons most of what I write is not falsifiable.

The shtick is getting old, folks.

I have NEVER heard a speech so blistering about a sitting President come from a sitting congressman of either party.

He all but said "Has he no sense of decency?".

Historic.

It started with the Greeks so, yah.

Someone (CNN?) drew analogies to the "Have you no sense of decency?" quote from the McCarthy hearings. To which I know you were referring.

Historic.

Like Margaret Chase Smith's "Declaration of Conscience" address. Probably just as effective in the moment of history it was delivered in too. Flake was on the nose about the fever griping the Republican base.

The trouble is that Trump doesn't.

I suspect within the GOP in Arizona is looking right now for a more mainstream candidate to run for the GOP Nomination; 'Chemtrail Kelli" is just too risky.

quotes from Flake

I liked it, but I'm not exactly the audience he needs to reach.

 

[phiwum]

quotes from Flake

honestly, good for him.

I like to rock to the classics.

So, you're saying she's got the nomination locked up. She'll fit right in with Trump and Moore. Congress will not be able to legislate anything but boy will "the libs" be owned.

In an op ed piece in this evenings WAPO Flake himself makes the comparasion

Yeah, all of this really begs for some sort of thorough investigation. I particularly want to hear a very good and detailed explanation for not using the mutual aid option. Also of note, Whitefish might be located in Montana but it's a foreign-owned company.

And that is one hell of a coincidence that the company is located in the Secretary of the Interior's home town..

Is using coincidences an appropriate application of skepticism?

Define appropriate.

 

[BobTheCoward]

Define appropriate.

Whatever I say it is based on whatever whom I have.

Okay, then it is appropriate.

 

[BobTheCoward]

Okay, then it is appropriate.

It is weird question to ask someone to define a word without any caveat. If we have free reign to define something, no reason not to devise the most favourable version.

Something about these numbers doesn't seem quite right.

​

Could be the cost of getting competent workers out to the island and getting them shelter, plus the Jones Act (which should be scrapped), plus standard overhead.

Plus actual pay for the worker, of course That's only a fraction of the per hour charge...
