They have nothing left so they are grasping at any straw they can . If you throw enough mud at the wall some may stick . Funny though it is not sticking .


I know that, but I suppose having attained the age of 70, it is within the realm of possibility, so I don't see any point in appearing ignorant.

Nowhere. Examples of that were amply provided in previous articles posted. Best you read them before you keep digging yourself a bigger hole.
I am not in a hole , and I don't believe politically slanted articles . But my point remains Steve Bannon was not mentioned .

Do you believe Betts is actually Trudeau's boss ? There have been lots of articles claiming that as well .

And please if this Bannon is so supreme why hasn't he taken away Trump's twitter ?

I've rarely bought American, but when I have I've been less than impressed. It is true that the quality of so-called American cars has greatly improved in the last couple of decades thanks to foreign competition, but in general repair records still give Japanese and South Korean autos a strong edge.

Also, there really isn't such a thing as American or Canadian made cars given that their parts come from all over the world.

However when you look at the cost of those repairs the NA cars fare much better. Mainly due to the availability of aftermarket parts and better interchange.

House Intelligence Chief: No Evidence for Trump

So the Donald reads some inquirer er level nonsense and goes into h;;is knew jerk reaction via Twitter. How immature is that?? How uninformed is that?? How irresponsible is that??

a thought: would say that the US population probably deserves this idiot as a leader....BUT the rest of the world should be spared from his pathology....

He wants t isolate the US...let him... lets see how long they can survive without importing and exporting and immigrants doing their dirty jobs. (ya know those Mexicans that Trump is getting rid of. )

What used to be the U.S. of A...is no longer.and that is sad. All it took ifs one nutty person..

Cause it is far better to let citizens sit in the bar and collect welfare while illegals do all the work. You, cliffy and the rest of the freeloaders would love that.

Yikes!

At a glance, the new bill amounts to a $600 billion tax cut for the top 0.1 percent, while being “Obamacare-lite” in terms of its ability to provide health coverage for most Americans. It’s worth highlighting that, apart from the fact that tens of millions will instantly lose coverage, there’s some deeply upsetting news for those suffering from mental health issues.

Well being as how the rich pay the bulk of the taxes and the poor pay none who else do you think would or should get tax cuts?

I've posted this before. Maybe you should read it or one of the many other articles saying the same thing.

Two of my relatives had dementia and Trump has very similar symptoms.

Does Donald Trump have dementia? 8 troubling signs that deserve a closer look - The Frisky
Doesn't the Prez have a personal physician who is supposed to keep a close eye on him... and that includes signs of mental dysfunction? The job is loaded with stress...... and that alone warrants medical/ psychological monitoring. .Would be nice if they were on the job and picked up symptoms before things get way out offhand....

A fair bit of this stuff can be picked up early. If the medical advisers are on their toes.

There is no question that the has some form of mental dysfunction.... one can see it when he ad libs. The contrast is vivid between his ad lli and his speeches as per teleprompter. He is erratic (which is obvious)....and that should concern the most loyal of Trumphites. If it isn't....then sadly they are a clue less as he is.And no need to fall back on the " but he is as successful businessman." First.his methods in business have been highly questionable. Second.... he was younger then and one has to assume clearer in his thinking.

But the only things that the Trumphits care about is JOBS..... a very narrow mnded view and a very self centered view. There is a much larger picture.

All one has to do is examine his decision making, his method of appointments...

It is one thingto be different............It is quite another to be pathologically impentant.

You really believe the CTV before you're own lying eyes . If Steve Bannon or anyone else was Trump's boss they would have taken away his twitter account long ago .
Take away Trump['s twitter???

First Trump would have a major meltdown.and who needs more of his meltdowns.?? they are nasty enough already.

Second " Trump would only set up a new account......

Third: Trump is supposed to be an adult with adult boundary setting. and self discipline. .......but shows no evidence of either. He should have realized a long time ago that his tweets cause him blow back..... but he has a learning problem due to denial. and resistance to FACTS.

Well being as how the rich pay the bulk of the taxes and the poor pay none who else do you think would or should get tax cuts?

Bar Stool Economics

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:


  • The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
  • The fifth would pay $1.
  • The sixth would pay $3.
  • The seventh would pay $7.
  • The eighth would pay $12.
  • The ninth would pay $18.
  • The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers”, he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20”. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his “fair share?”

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:


  • The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
  • The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
  • The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
  • The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
  • The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
  • The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got $10!” “Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!” “That’s true!!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!” “Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!” The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Did you see the guy who claimed he was Trump's physician? He's got to be one of the least healthy looking individuals I've ever seen.

Funny how that analogy falls apart when compared to the real world. Some of the highest taxed nations are the most prosperous.

Maybe. But it will be filled with entertainment.... of sorts. :) Will be curious to see who he gets to help him win the second term. Puutin might not be available for the job. Or Trump might make the ultimate deal with Putin.... But then Trump doesn't care HOW he wins....as long as he wins. Not big on ethics or scruples...Not that those factors matter to the Trumpites.

BTW: when the heck is TRump going to provide proof for some of the stuff he tweets And some of the crap he spews.

Trump has no credibility ....... as he is a pathological liar with more than a hint of paranoia.

Trump should really stay off Twitter when he is felling unhinged. (or more unhinged than usual) Would venture that to the Trumphites.....this is the "new normal"..An intriguing dynamic.

Who in his right mind can believe him should he announce something major as in a CRISIS.?? He will have to have someone with credibility do it......
