President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Neutral Corner]

Is Spicer such a force of nature now that they don't need to give him a first reference?

Spicey has become pretty well known.

I wonder how loud he'd be cheerleading if it were being built on the Florida coast by Mar a Lago...

So 45,000 jobs and $20 billion in capital investment is a bad thing just because it's not where you'd like it to be?

It's good for the economy. Have you ever lived near a refinery? I lived in Houston for years, and property values are a lot lower when you start to get near one. Deer Park and Pasadena are lower middle class areas for a reason.

My guess is that if it were near his home he'd have developed a serious case of NIMBY. That's not just a Trump thing, or a R/D thing - I remember when they wanted to put wind generators near the Kennedys. Rich people tend to think that sort of thing is just fine, as long as they don't have to look at or breathe it where they live.

Here Are The Official Photos Showing Trump's Inauguration Crowds Were Smaller Than Obama's

Well, the National Park Service budget just went down another 20%.

Translation: You've got nothing, but you can't just leave without posting more snarky bull****.

Yep. I lose. You win. Very important on the use of "wild" in the future.

Congratulations on your conquest.

Yep, NIMBYism is one thing where all Americans find common ground.

Quoted to preserve the stunning lack of self-awareness and unsubstantiated bull**** in this post. Thank you for proving exactly why I call you QYFOS.

LOL.

I swear every time I see Trump on camera he's gained another five pounds. He's going to be pushing three bills by the time 2020 rolls around. And 73. His handlers are gonna have to roll him up onto the debate stage blueberry-Veruca Salt fashion.

That fat **** hasn't seen 300 in 10 years.

 

[Starman]

I see why you keep using this, it's incredibly useful.

LOL!

Something is happening here but you don't know what it is ...

Apparently, it was in response to a FOIA request. So they didn't have a choice.

Maybe so, but I don't think that's the reason they're building new refineries in Texas and Louisiana, instead of West Palm Beach.

Why would such a statement bother an avowed centrist?

Do you think that Trump is going to think or ask about that when he sees that those pictures?

Is your real-life persona similar to your online persona?

If the answer to the first question is yes, are you well-versed in self-defense?

I work with a Trump supporter, though to his credit, at least he isn't ridiculous enough to defend Betsy DeVos or lump all liberals together the way QYFOS keeps doing. When we had the inauguration on television at work on Jan. 20, I asked him when they were going to play the Russian national anthem. I got a little political ranting for my trouble, but no physical threats.

End of the day, I heard the Trump supporter arguing with his political opposite, a Bernie fan who insists he is leaving the country to escape Trump's presidency. I looked up the Russian national anthem on YouTube and played it as loudly as possible. Trump fan didn't recognize it, but Bernie Bro did and started laughing. At that point, Trump fan figured it out and started laughing as well.

I'm not sure if that answers your question or not, but I don't much care.

I never said I was perfectly in the middle. The centrist stuff is just more of your bull****.

That said, just because I said a statement of yours is bull**** does not mean it bothers me. It just means it is bull****.

Yeah, OK. It must play better live.

OK, glad we can agree you're not bothered by any of my posts.

Quick look at the GOP's plan to replace the ACA: They're going to have a hard time selling this turd.

Basically, they're trying to keep all the stuff people like without paying for it. How fiscally responsible!

Hopefully the Dems can drag out this fight into the 2018 midterms. If older people are against repeal and replace, coupled with the fact millions will lose health care and it could impact employer-based health care, that could be total disaster for the Republicans.

Easy to paint that picture. "The Republican Party: We don't care if you die."
