The Trump Presidency VII

[Andy_Ross]

And the EU will retailiate.
TRump will wreck the US economy with his stupidity. It's only a matter of time.

Well, the Europeans have the advantage, they already have factories in the USA making cars that won't be impacted by tariffs.

This Abraham Lincoln quote seems as relevelent today as it was in 1854. (The Know Nothings were a violently anti immigrant political party that was on the rise).

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

All I can say is... HA HA!

From: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/06/22/trump-millennial-supporters-washington-dc-218833
...we interviewed more than 30 millennial staffers from the Trump White House and across the administration...They told us their horror stories about being heckled on the street and their struggles to get a date.
...
“Trump supporters swipe left”—meaning “don’t even bother trying”—might be the single most common disclaimer on dating app profiles in Washington. One beleaguered 31-year-old female administration official described at length her “very, very frequent” scraps with her matches on dating apps. “You do the small talk thing, and you have a very good conversation, and then they might say, ‘You didn’t vote for Trump, right?’” she says. “As soon as I say, ‘Of course I did,’ it just devolves into all-caps ‘HOW COULD YOU BE SUCH A RACIST AND A BIGOT?’ And ‘You’re going to take away your own birth control.’

Who knew that being happy that there's an unrepentant con-artist bigot in the white house would make someone less desirable?

It reminds me of earlier articles that showed similar experiences, not with Trump staffers but with the general population, with Trump supporters usually getting the brush-off from people who don't like racism.

Thus be it ever to traitors.

Apparently Trump wants to cut foreign aid to countries that are the source of migrants seeking asylum. To...punish them I guess?


Anyone want to defend the logic there?

No one smart enough to understand the complexities of the immigration issue still works in the Whitehouse.

 

[quadraginta]

Especially since many of them are built in such European countries as Tenessee, and South Carolina.....

Also Illinois, Alabama, and Ohio.


The top three of the ten best selling cars made in the U.S. are made by foreign companies. Five altogether out of the top ten.

Gotta wonder how Trump is going to put tariffs on them.

But Lincoln was a Republican, so it's the Democrats who are the real racists.

 

[quadraginta]

That's something else.

I wonder if Fox will be embarrassed?

I don't thing Fox News supports that feature as part of their service.

 

[dudalb]

George Will today said Republicans who love their country should vote Democratic in November as an emergency measure to stop Trump.

 

[quadraginta]

Just saw Arnold in a news interview; he was high as a kite.

Can't blame him too much. ABC has greenlighted a Roseanne free spinoff.

May not have been the most appropriate place, but he definitely has reason to celebrate.

"feature"?

You mean promoting Trump?

 

[quadraginta]

The RINOs are coming out in droves.

A "crash" of RINOs.

Seems appropriate, somehow.

Common Decency is also a feature that Fox News does not support.
Decendy does not matter;all that matters is to be a loyal ,blind supporter of Dear Leader.

He divorced Roseanne decades ago. Did he ever guest star on the show?

Nitpick: That's not a sales list, it's a list of the cars with the highest percentage of American content. I had to look to make sure you were considering Chrysler as a foreign company, since it hasn't been an American one in a very long time. You were.

Oops. My mistake.

I was thinking of someone else entirely, obviously.

Thanks for pointing it out.

John Goodman is her TV spouse.

FOx News is beyond shame.
The day Rupert Murdoch dies I will, quite literally ,dance in the street singing "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD"

Oh, he’s done more to damage America than any Russian, Chinese, or Nazi spy ever accomplished. Dance away; the sooner that vile little man joins Ailes in Hell, the better.

 

[Craig4]

Who cares? If he can produce the long hinted at "N" word video and drop it in the last week of October, I'll buy him the coolest hookah pipe I can find.

 

[alfaniner]

Yes, until he was abducted by aliens.

Not joking.

Hey let's not limit Murdoch;he has also done severe damage to the UK and his native Australia.
