The [s]First[/s] [s]Only[/s] Second Trump term

[Malcolm]

I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

So does Trump.

I'll stack my geopolitical knowledge up against him any day of the week. Once he stops acting like a dipshit, he might get a new title.

[Leisher]

I wish you'd earn a new title soon.

[Malcolm]

I wish you'd earn a new title soon.

I'll change it when my insane ideas can affect potentially millions if not billions of people at a whim.

[GORDON]

hey someone added to the word filter.

wasn't me.

[Leisher]

I did it. Trump Jr's insistence upon disrespecting his fellow forum dwellers in his war with Trump made me curious where that was in the next version of this software.

I'll change it back in a moment, because I'm not down with censoring. Goofing, yes. Censoring, no.

However, there are maybe 7 regular forum users who come here to have rational discussions about various topics. If two of them have specifically asked you to knock something off because as long as you do it, they can't have a rational discussion with you or even read your opinion, wouldn't you? I mean, if the point is to get people to read and respect your opinion...

I know how Donald J Trump would respond.

[GORDON]

I justget annoyed with it, the point has been made, now I stop reading when I see it. If he doesn't want anyone to read his opinions, why write them down?

Orange House blocks press.

The White House on Friday barred news outlets -- including CNN, the New York Times, Politico and the Los Angeles Times – from attending an off-camera press briefing held by spokesman Sean Spicer, igniting another controversy concerning the relationship between the Drumpf administration and the media.

Your filter would be funnier if there weren't already an actual mini-Drumpf or two running around.

Say hello to more private prisons where we can unnecessarily incarcerate people for fun and profit.

Drumpf proposes an increase in defense spending and domestic corruption.

Drumpf said that budget, which will be submitted to Congress next month, would propose “historic” increases in spending to bolster the country’s “depleted military,”

Don't we already spend more on our military than the next, what, ten countries combined?

“We’re going to make it easier for states to invest in infrastructure,” Trump said. “We spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, and we have potholes all over our highways and our roads.”

“Infrastructure, we’re going to start spending on infrastructure — big,” he added.

[Malcolm]

Jeff Sessions is a dumb-ass, much like his boss.

In his first speech since being sworn in as attorney general, Jeff Sessions tied a recent increase in violent crime to a lack of respect for police officers...

I'd love to see this chain of logic.

“One of the big things out there that’s, I think, causing trouble, and where you see the greatest increase in violence and murders in cities is somehow, some way, we undermined the respect for our police and made, oftentimes, their job more difficult,” he said in a speech to the National Association of Attorneys General.

No, it's not. Unless by "respect" you mean "the ability to arbitrarily beat and murder anyone they don't like."

Speaking of douchebaggery...

Fucktard-in-Chief Drumpf will feature family members of Americans killed by illegal immigrants during his speech Tuesday to a joint session of Congress, seeking to make an emotional appeal to build support for stronger border control measures.

I was going to call out the jack-asses for taking the dead Marine's dad from the Yemen raid and using him as a political tool but it appears Drumpf is just as classless as they are.

Pelosi says "educated white women" who didn't vote for Hillary only didn't because their husband and taxes.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/28/politics/ ... index.html

"White educated women who voted against Hillary? They voted with their husbands on taxes and they always have," declared Pelosi.

You know..... we all know I didn't vote for Trump. But I may vote for him next time because so far the opposition meltdown has been HILARIOUS. I would hate for this entertainment to end.

Not you, Troy. I feel for you and your existential angst. Been there, it will pass.

[Malcolm]

Is the URL button in the quick reply box not enough?

[GORDON]

what are you talking about

[Malcolm]

Hmm, appears there's just no text alias.

[GORDON]

No idea what you're talking about, malcolmpf.

I guess caring about your money isn't acceptable any more.

Has it ever been?

I mean, if you're progressive it's ok to hoard your money. How many Hollywood progressives are multi millionaires and preach about how your typical Americans need to "give more", yet there they are holding onto their millions?

Let's face it, if you're across the aisle, everything you do is wrong.

[GORDON]

Just think about how insulting her comment was:

1. Educated white women need a man to tell them what to do.
2. Because they are weak or subservient or whatever
3. And their men are stupid, controlling Nazi pigs.

I know, I know, she didn't really mean it that way, wink wink.

Orange House refuses to discipline tool for blatantly violating ethics rules.

That an Orange House employee would use her platform to encourage shoppers to buy products sold by a member of the asshole-in-chief's family was widely criticized as a violation of ethics regulations.

"That is absolutely wrong, wrong, wrong. It is over the top," said Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee. He and ranking minority member Elijah Cummings of Maryland later sent a letter to the White House calling for an investigation into the incident.

Cummings expressed disappointment in the White House's response

"It is a very bad sign that the dumb-ass chose not to discipline Ms. Conway for blatantly violating the law. Other federal employees would likely be suspended for engaging in this conduct, and Orange House officials should not be held to a different standard. I hope that the douchebag reconsiders his decision and that he and his staff will take their ethical obligations more seriously."

Drain the swamp, my ass.

Rule one: blame the other guy.

Drumpf was asked in an interview on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" if he believed Obama was responsible for the town hall protests against Republicans this month.

"It turns out his organization seems to do a lot of these organizing to some of the protests that these Republicans are seeing around the country against you. Do you believe President Obama is behind it and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called unsaid presidents' code?" Drumpf was asked.

"No, I think he is behind it. I also think it is politics, that's the way it is," Drumpf replied.

New AG following in his lord and master's steps.

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) asked Sessions: "If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Drumpf campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"
...
"Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities," Sessions said. "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

Dude seems pretty sure.

...his meeting with Russia's ambassador was just four months prior in his Senate office and he also met with the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, in July near the Republican National Convention.

Oops. Ah well, everybody gets one.

It all recalls the eerily similar Michael Flynn saga. When The Washington Post presented the top Drumpf national security aide with evidence that he had discussed sanctions on Russia with Kislyak on a late December phone call -- possibly in violation of the law -- Flynn denied it. Twenty four hours later, he said he couldn't remember haven't discussed such a thing. Then, after it was revealed that he told the same thing to the FBI -- again in apparent risk of committing perjury -- Flynn explained that he spoke about the expulsion of Russian operatives from the United States, which he didn't consider part of the sanctions but were, in fact, part of the sanctions.

So here we had Flynn, a seasoned intelligence operative who is more than familiar with international relations and carefully parsing information, making a series of completely careless statements and denials -- at best. This was the man Drumpf picked as his national security adviser, and Flynn's argument was that he basically didn't understand the definition of "sanctions."
