Everyone in Texas knows Arkansas is bass ackwards and is only saved by the existence of Alabama.

Also we Texans don't have a lot of love for Colorado either. Oklahoma is a weird rivalry but also a kindred spirit.

lol "I came up with it a couple of days ago"

Trump: "Did you know we're the most taxed country in the world? And if you tax something alot, people will do less of it? Ever heard of the term the Laffer Curve?"
Response: "Ye..."
Trump: "It means that the more an activity is taxed, the less of it is generated. Have you heard of it?"
Response: "Ye..."
Trump: "I just came up with it a couple of days ago. Great theory, simply great."

What is Trumponomics?

It very much has to do with trade. We have so many bad trade deals. To a point where I’m not sure that we have any good trade deals. I don’t know who the people are that would put us into a NAFTA, which was so one-sided. Both from the Canada standpoint and from the Mexico standpoint. So one-sided. Wilbur [Ross, the secretary of commerce] will tell you that, you know, like, at the court in Canada, we always lose. Well, the judges are three Canadians and two Americans. We always lose. But we’re not going to lose any more. And so it’s very, very unfair.

What a coincidence

And I was going to terminate NAFTA last week, I was all set, meaning the six-month termination. I was going to send them a letter, then after six months, it’s gone. But the word got out, they called and they said, we would really love to… they called separately but it was an amazing thing. They called separately ten minutes apart. I just put down the phone with the president of Mexico when the prime minister of Canada called. And they both asked almost identical questions. “We would like to know if it would be possible to negotiate as opposed to a termination.” And I said, “Yes, it is. Absolutely.” So, so we did that and we’ll start.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today establishing a commission to review alleged voter fraud and voter suppression in the American election system, multiple senior administration officials tell ABC News.

The officials say Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will be announced as Chair and Vice Chair of the ‘Presidential Commission on Election Integrity’ in a press release today. It's not clear whether the White House will allow coverage of the order signing.

The commission, which will include Republicans and Democrats, will be tasked with studying "vulnerabilities" in U.S. voting systems and potential effects on "improper voting, fraudulent voter registrations and fraudulent voting," according to one official with knowledge of the announcement.
for ****'s sake, these people

Morning Joe saying a WH spokesman is confident the Russia investigation will exonerate the president. This would be comical if the entire government isn't basically at a standstill (except for Russian infiltration of democracy and the Oval Office) while the president is FREAKING OUT trying as hard as he can to stop said exoneration.

The number of people going along with this nonsense is astonishing.
05-11-2017 , 07:52 AM
I'm concerned for everyone's mental state (including my own) when Trump's "shock and awe" strategy wears off and we're left with normal boring news again. This may sound silly, but the extreme boredom will rip people apart.

President, can I just try you on a deal-making question? If you do need Democratic support for your tax plan, your ideal tax plan, and the price of that the Democrats say is for you to release your tax returns, would you do that?

I don’t know. That’s a very interesting question. I doubt it. I doubt it. Because they’re not going to…nobody cares about my tax return except for the reporters. Oh, at some point I’ll release them. Maybe I’ll release them after I’m finished because I’m very proud of them actually. I did a good job.

Hope Hicks [White House director of strategic communication]: Once the audit is over.

President Trump: I might release them after I’m out of office
LOL Trump forgot to lie why he was holding back his tax returns

So his experience with rigged elections is more in the rigging department than the prevention or detection arena.

Must be a typo, should say executive order to suppress votes
