Holy economics batman...two face is up to no good!!!
Anyone surprised? I'm looking for a written version 'cause listening to him is like fingernails on a chalk board for me. What I'm really interested in is the reaction from his base.
What's scary is if this guy wants to blow up something[a small country]just to relieve his boredom.
He's also talking about compromising on the Affordable Healthcare Act as oppose to a total gut although, neither provision he's willing to keep will help many of us and Ryan is talking about privatizing Medicare... so much for my positive mood.
Prices are gonna go through the roof,what are seniors gonna do??
I can't speak for others but without the AHCA I will not have coverage. My part-time gig and SS can't take a hit like this. Thought I would coast for another year before the switch over to Medicare but if they ram either one of these through in the first 100 days , I'm screwed.Quote:

On a side note, my granddaughter sang the anthem at this affair. Later in the program they asked her if she could sing Amazing Grace as they showed a montage of names of all of the employees who lost their lives performing their duties for ICE. When the lights came back on, nearly everyone was wiping away tears.
I may not agree with all of their policies and procedures but I have a newfound respect for this group and what they do after that affair. Their latest efforts are not focused on immigrants but on stopping human trafficking.
As for AHCA and Medicare, Medicare has the AARP lobby and there will be congressmen and governors who will have to answer to certain policy changes in 2 years.
Keep hope alive.
I'm telling you, his "Trumpettes" are in for a very important lesson! I will divulge more over time. He is going to show is real self in a matter of months .....not just show out as he did during the campaign.Quote:

Beck was really shaken by that because the caller sounded so evil.
If that is true, Trump should worry.

Do you know the type of people that you have to deal with in that business? LOL!!!! They would make any white nationalist look like a sissy. hehehehehehehe.......
I'm not a Trump supporter in any way. I've met him once very briefly, but I do know that he is one cookie that does not crumble easily.
Mitt Romney Says Donald Trump Will Change America With ‘Trickle-Down Racism’

There's now talk that after they get what they want from der Fuhrer, the Republicans are ready to impeach him if he proves to be too unsteady. Little consolation with Pence as his VP.
I read something similar. Apparently they know they can't control Trump but can control Pence. Considering his atrocious record in Indiana, it annoyed the hell out of me that HRC didn't pounce more on him. I realize it wouldn't have matter to their cult members but damn...Pence is even more dangerous than his boss.Quote:

That flies in the face of what he promised his sheep. And she thought that sexism was a better card to play than racism. Maybe it was, but she played defense too much when he had more questions to answer.
When she back peddled on the deplorable comment, I wanted to scream and don't even get me started on her shying away from racism.Quote:

It boggles my mind that so many Whites don't understand their voices have to be as loud [[if not more so) than Blacks.
Then again...maybe I'm not as astonished as I pretend to be. shrugs
I have that same belief. When the police shootings occur I feel everyone should be outraged.Quote:

Apparently I missed the "made to heel like dogs thing" but I believe the super predator remark may have been taken out of context. Be that as it may, it certainly resonated in a negative way among Blacks.Quote:

"But we also have to have an organized effort against gangs," Hillary Clinton said in a C-SPAN video clip. "Just as in a previous generation we had an organized effort against the mob. We need to take these people on. They are often connected to big drug cartels, they are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called superpredators — no conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first, we have to bring them to heel."

Don't know if that was directed at me or Marv and sometime my snark misses the mark but I stand by my comment. Especially since I fact checked the super predator remark at poltifact months ago.

Marv, that short clip doesn't contradict politifacts ruling but here is where I will give HRC, you and others who jumped on her remarks a pass.Quote:

I do know, she's smart BUT not the most artful speaker on the planet. That speech was made during the time when I first started to dislike her, not because of that remark but because the way she turned a phrase didn't always hit me the right way. [[hence, the pass for your POV) The same happened on several occasions when she was campaigning against [[then Senator) Obama. Her husband often had/has the same problem.
I can list a lot of reasons for not liking HRC but this statement isn't one of them.
It's Women's Day at my church. Time to get my praise on. Have a great day everyone!:D
[QUOTE=ms_m;357531]LOL. You guys are not the only "people" in the world. I don't take shots at people on this board unless they take shots at me. Especially people that I like. It was not intended to single either of you out, just to point out how noise tends to disrupt communication. The controversy over this remark is like somebody saying that someone's mom jeans are on fire and instead of paying attention to the problem, the person gets mad because they don't think that they are wearing mom jeans.Quote:
