The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1157 - Politics and Economics

This is a pretty good take on what is happening in the US. You guys are being pandered to.

The past 100 days have been a disaster — for Democrats

Democrats are completely focused on placating their frothing, left-wing, anti-Trump base — and the American heartland thinks these people are insane. They see women marching in anti-Trump rallies wearing “pussy” hats (and placing them on the heads of young children). They see left-wing mobs attacking Charles Murray at Middlebury College and trying to stop Ann Coulter from speaking at the University of California at Berkeley. They see “Bill Nye the Liberal Guy” — honorary co-chair of the March for Science — raising a question about whether people should be punished for having “extra kids.” (Which of their kids, they wonder, is the “extra” one?) They see a horrible feedback loop of left-wing intolerance for their beliefs and way of life.
And they see Democrats in Washington pandering to these people.

everyone boycott the Washington Post! they allowed somebody to voice an opinion that I dont agree with!

The first 100 days have been a disaster for all Americans, we are literally the global laughing stock for electing this idiot. I have in the past questioned some of our doestic and foreign policies, but this is the first time in my 40 plus years I am embarrassed to be from the United States.

Good. That means we're doing the right thing.

I'd rethink my views if Trump supporters agreed with me.

Could Trump's primary goal be infamy? Serious question.

It's a lot simpler than that I think.

“When you insult one member of the CBS family, you insult us all!” Colbert began. “Mr. President, I love your presidency, I call it ‘Disgrace The Nation.’ You’re not the POTUS, you’re the ‘gloat-us.’ You’re the glutton with the button. You’re a regular ‘Gorge Washington.’ You’re the ‘presi-dunce’ but you’re turning into a real ‘prick-tator.’”
“Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine,” the host continued. “You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign-language gorilla that got hit in the head.” And then the kicker: “In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”

Colbert has always had serious balls. His roast of W like 12 years ago remains one of the most awkward and amazing things I've ever seen.

Seems odd that he's complaining about a budget that just yesterday Spicer was claiming as a big win for him.

I'm no tax expert, but eliminating the alternative minimum also seems huuuuge for him.

A shutdown is like a dream come true for Republicans. Can't get a government much smaller than non-existent.

What's really weird is that a master deal maker and negotiator couldn't get a better deal out of a bunch of weak, low energy, loser democrat politicians. Odd.

Health care is complicated.
Tax reform is complicated.
The Federal budget is complicated.
Foreign policy is complicated.
Wars are complicated.
Chinese history is complicated.
American history is complicated.
Human rights are complicated.
Linear progression is complicated.

Nobody knew the POTUS could be so simple.

Be proud, your Democrat AG in Iowa is making a political play to deny the next Governor of Iowa the right to appoint a replacement for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Iowa. Petty politics.
