Time to get on the TRUMP train

[BCR]

It's amazing that all these elected officials of both parties are over 70. You can be really fit and sharp over 70, but no one is what they were at 50. When I pick a surgeon, I'm going with someone 40-55. Experienced, yet young enough to be up on all the latest shit.

You don't want the really young dude. You don't want the old dude. This rule holds true with all the truly important jobs. That we're still dealing with Trump, McCain, Pelosi, Bernie, Biden, Hillary as our go to crew is seriously problematic.

These are the people you keep on speed dial for when you run into some hairy shit and they'll give you a solid 2 hours of wisdom as long as you catch them before 3PM. Rare is the individual cut out for a high pressure demanding gig at that age.

Since this new ISP bill had more than enough votes I read that Rand Paul voted no even tho he's a cosponsor, what a phony.

He abstained but his cosponsorship should come as no surprise. He's against government regulation, even the kind that protects consumers.

Education Shifts to the States

"The hard-learned lesson of the civil rights community over decades has shown that a strong federal role is crucial to protecting the interests of underserved students," The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition of advocacy groups, wrote to members of Congress. "Now, more than ever, access to a quality education makes the difference between economic self-sufficiency and the grip of poverty."

In crafting the new legislation, lawmakers from both chambers threaded the smallest of needles to settle on a new accountability system that satiated the Republican demands for a limited federal role and the Democrats' insistence that civil rights and equal access to education remain at the heart of the law.

A more limited role for the feds in education. Well fucking finally. Arkansas and Kansas will now show everyone how it should be done. What could be less important for a federal politician? They've got bigger fish to fry obv.

What would be the price of a gallon of gas under Hillary? I'd say add 75 cents to the current price.
When W threw the Americans under the bus for his Saudi donors they had FOX News repeating non stop "It's not the president who decides it's the market". Obama debunked that bullshit.

Oh and Chelsea won some lifetime achievement award, LOL! Don't even try it Chelsea, we're not voting for you.

Pretty hard to keep track of what is said. Late Night (Meyers) has the funniest Trump material overall IMO. Problem being it's true

Dick Cheney states Putin directly tried to influence American Presidential Election.

“Another aspect of Mr. Putin’s conduct is the issue that is now very much in the headlines at home, and that has to do with cyber warfare, cyberattack on the United States — the fact that he took his capabilities in the cyber area and used it to try to influence our election,” Cheney said.

“There’s no question there was a very serious effort made by Mr. [Vladimir] Putin and his government, his organization, to interfere in major ways with our basic fundamental democratic processes,” Cheney said Monday during a speech at the Economic Times’ Global Business Summit 2017 in New Delhi.

“In some quarters, that would be considered an act of war. I think it’s a kind of conduct and activity we will see going forward. We know he’s attempted it previously in other states in the Baltics,” Cheney said, according to video of the remarks.

“I would not underestimate the weight that we Americans assign to the Russian attempts to interfere with our internal political processes,” Cheney said.

Is it fake news if you see Cheney say this and much more with your own eyes? Cheney begins ~ 7:45, Putin comments begin ~14:00, Putin effect on election ~15:45 Cheney ends ~27:00

The new Gallup approval numbers have Trump down to 36%. Barely 2 months in, he's already lower than Obama or Bill Clinton ever got during their 8 years in office. He's also lower than Gerald Ford, who was appointed, not elected.

Now he's heading to take on Ronald Reagan (35%), George HW Bush (29%), George W Bush (25%), and the Big Dog, Richard Nixon (24%), who was actually above 60% before Watergate.

Believing a candidate's election promises is always a leap of faith. Trump supporters took that gamble despite evidence strongly suggesting it was all talk. Nothing has changed. When exposed, there are no explanations just newer lies.

So son in law and White House Innovations Director Kushner met with Sergey Gorkov, CEO of Russia's state-owned Vnesheconombank in December 2016. Gorkov is a graduate of the FSB Academy, think of a CIA Academy.

Putin first revamped Vnesheconombank, known as Russia's bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs, in 2007. The Russian leader turned it into "a pillar of his Kremlin-driven economy at the height of the oil boom" and took "personal control over key lending decisions," according to Bloomberg, which characterized it as "the bank that financed Vladimir Putin’s grandest ambitions."

Between 2012 and 2014, Vnesheconombank was used as cover for Russian spy Evgeny Buryakov as he attempted to recruit New York City residents as intelligence sources for Moscow, according to the Department of Justice. Before that, Buryakov used Vnesheconombank as a cover to spy and recruit assets in South Africa.

I also thought he wanted a huge bump in infrastructure spending. Another lie I guess.

Sorry but 'yes' is probably easy money. People are going to stack on 'no' because emotions but its unlikely that the right wing can afford the embarrassment of Trump being frog marched out of office.

On a related note, Trumpanomics is in full swing, with a fresh push to get more coal out of the ground.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKBN16Z2AT

Punch line: we have enough coal out of the ground to last us until 2034, and no one else is buying it because lol of course they arent, it's not the 70's anymore.

So really what we have is trump providing a glibly retarded take on Reaganomics by way of welfare, where capital 'trickles down' from coal company subsidies to their workers, allowing the stocks to stay afloat and their corporate taskmasters to bank boat money bonuses.

so after doing more reading on this, it looks like that unless trump throws major incentives the democrats' way (maybe a massive trillion dollar infrastructure deal), there is a 0.0% chance that the wall gets funded.

i thought that congress could allocate money for funding the wall in the budget and pass it under reconciliation with 50 votes, but it looks like the dems can actually filibuster any appropriations that includes funding for the wall.

there obv won't be any democrats that support this and half of the republicans would vote it down too, which means the wall won't get funded.

i don't care either way about it, just noting it's not going to happen.
