The First 100 Days in Trump Land
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
I'm glad to hear that, really. I hope they are from a wide variety. I've been on some forums where 'proof' was if another member agreed with what anther member was promoting. . . and they stuck to their guns on it no matter how stupid it made them look.
Is BBC a trustworthy reference or can they slant the story to have the audience believe events are just what they say it is, no matter how many people call it fake news. What sane person wouldn't??
Trump is in the same (sinking) boat Regan was in. One was from Hollwierd where reality was anything than what was presented for public consumption. Donny (reflective of the mental grasp a normal 3 year old has) was expecting to be able to walk right in and people who were his enemies would just switch sides because that is how deals are made. It even says so in the book he wrote so it must be true.
Let's see what happens on home turf once the cameras have all gone away. Change for the better or for the worse is better than no change at all when your horse is dragging you down, time to switch to the back-up horse. (and the rope trailing from it's tail) Hopefully a retreat onto her own shores to 'regroup' would be in order. Dropping it's security seat at the UN would 'allow' the UN to look for a 'new home'. Jerusalem would become the city state that was written up in UN181. The slant is what was written and signed in 1947/48 was not supposed to be implemented at that time. 70 years down the road of the Jews ruling over the Gentiles via the UN in DC that would allow her to 'spare them' while her closest cousins seem to be destined for annihilation comes into maturity and and the move to Jerusalem seems to have magical properties as far as the UN becoming an effective global entity as far as security, natural resources and human population guidelines
New hat slogan. 'If this is great you can have it back.'
or on the front 'GREAT' and on back 'just f*cking great'
And the winner is 'How do you like me so far???'
Who's the Mexican behind the rock??

WHY tears??
No one in their right mind wants to see the US leader continue to have failures or do a lousy job.whether he is one thing........ it is his competence that matters. He seems to be making some shifts towards a more sensible mindset. Wasn't he a Liberal at onetime. He is NOT a true Republican
The issue is that he is heading a major world country and the risks are high. No one wants him to contribute to further deterioration of and in the US.
One cannot be so partisan so as to lose the larger picture and see things from all perspectives. from The focus should be on his competence , skills, flexibility , open mindedness intelligence (or have intelligent people around him ) His skills and competence at the job is NOT a partisan issue........ it is too late for that. He won. ,,,even if he had external assistance ..It now is what it is.but one can only hope they get their act together and start functioning like a true team.
"I think Trump lies the most when".....................I take it from that, that you think Trump does some lying!

I told every one here that Trump would start a war to bring up his approval numbers. Despite that, his numbers are in the negative column. Wouldn't surprise me to see him start a war with North Korea to bring those numbers even more.
It worked for George W. Bush. He actually got elected the second time. Expect a few more Trump - endorsed bombings. It seems a sure rating grab, at least in the USA.
He's one of the best liars. Tremendous. Nobody lies more than Donald J Trump. I know some people. Top liars. These people are experts in lying. Top in their field. The highest liars you can find, quite frankly. Look anywhere and you won't find better liars. I can't name names, but these people are expert liars. They made millions lying. Can you believe it? Billions. A lot of money. Piles and piles of money. 10 billion maybe 100 billion. US Dollars. American dollars. And they say Trump has the best lies. Lies so good they make your head spin.
And CC has the best snowflakes on the internet, the best, the very best, without a word of a lie!
Trigger happy this could end badly with two egotistical, arrogant stubborn narcissistic fools at the helm of each country.Both are provocative in conduct and see that as some crazy form of "strength. Playing with big matches is gonna get someone burned.......and you can bet it will not be either leader.One can only hope that Trump's ad visors have the winsome to advise Donald what would be the wise thing to do. IF anything. Kim doe snot need anyone to fuel his paranoia further.
N. Korea: U.S. More Vicious Under Trump - The Daily Beast
N. Korea: U.S. More Vicious Under Trump - The Daily Beast
Most of these have to be passed by congress he has done little and what he had done
is mostly shameful
is mostly shameful
So, as things stand now, i see Jared Kushner (his son in law) being the chief foreign affairs advisor, Lt. Gen H.R. MacMillan (NSA), chief military advisor and Gary Cohn, chief economic advisor. The latter comes from Goldman Sachs, which has ruled the world as the infernal conductor of post national, global free market capitalism of the last 40 years. That is from whence were spawned Hank Paulson of 2008 infamy, and Steve Mnuchin, the new Treasury Secretary. Steve Bannon seems to have been relegated to some kind of populist figurehead with no real influence.
The triumverate form a bastion of Neo Liberalism, Anglo American Economic Imperialism and disenfranchisement of domestic moral government agency in the interests of industry and equity. This is not what the American electorate voted for. It has no chance of success. And this fulminating rebellion against a failed economic and cultural paradigm remains unpacified. It will find a new champion if Trump fails to deliver on his promises.

Trump Flip Flops Once Again, Now Allowing Hedge Funds Their $180 Billion Tax Dodge
This is one of the biggest of Trump's voluminous campaign lies.
Imagine a tax scam so outrageous that even Donald Trump admits it’s inexcusable. Hard to believe, I realize, but here he was .......
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMqWEn2ktDc
The scam is called the carried interest loophole and its beneficiaries are private equity partners and hedge fund moguls – aka virtually everyone at the top of the Trump Administration. Now that he’s in office, Trump isn’t touching it, which surprises exactly no one.
The carried interest loophole allows partners at private-equity firms and hedge funds to treat a big portion of their income as capital gains – that is, as profit on the sale of an investment. Capital gains are taxed at 20 percent, plus a 3.8 percent surtax typically.
Compare that to the tax rate for ordinary income – salaries earned by the rest of us – which is 39.6 percent, and you see the problem.
The rational justification for carried interest is nonexistent. The term itself comes from the 12th century when ship captains where paid by percentages of the sale of the cargo they carried. The idea, which was eventually enshrined in the tax code, was to encourage certain kinds of investments by rewarding those who took risks to build businesses. How that got twisted to reward private equity and hedge fund partners who make the vast majority of their millions in fees is lost to history.
