I really really don't want some Air Traffic Co. executive gambling for a 2nd vacation home on his new risk model that cuts costs by 20%.

Well, that's why I had to qualify it.

They were previously using Canada's non profit as a guideline as opposed to the for profit British version. So the people they listen to may actually be motivated on legitimate reasons and not just more money for me and my corporate friends/less government/ MAGA/F*** Europe principles that the rest of this administration tends to do.

Then again, Trump may say no to the carefully thought out original plan and sign Bannon's version that was written on a Buffalo Wild Wings serviette (or napkin)

I see. Sorry about that. Unfortunately you used an expression which means 'Bull****' in British English.

Even his travel ban, where presidential power is at a near maximum, is a complete failure unless and until the Supreme Court gives him some limited symbolic victory. The US has some significant divides, and Trump represents a group of people, but not the majority and not the powerful. Many who voted for him just wanted to take a chance and that chance has been a failure.

Lawyers don't enact these policies. Cops do.

Here, another 3/4 billion being tossed around with the Saudis. We're selling them a military training program for whatever reason.

Scroll up a bit to the article about Trump just going rogue delivering a speech that had been combed over and approved by people hours beforehand.

55 countries have figured this out, it's not a cutting edge idea.

You could say the same about the Paris Accord, yet here we are.

Oooh, or health care. We're past the point of just assuming that because other countries have done something, the US can just do it. We have morons running ****.

Saudis are super rich without doing jack. They also spend lavishly and have a penchant for gold. Trump loves them.

Read this and spot all the similarities with Trump.

I think this might actually be one of the few (only?)good things Trump does in office if they do it correctly

Yes I'm sure Trump is going to install a NON PROFIT air traffic control system.

come on man

They treat the truth as if it's some light switch on the wall that can be turned on or off as needed for each particular situation.

3 things can be counted on:

1) They won't own a mistake or apologize, ever.
2) Bad things about Trump don't happen, ever.
3) If Trump takes credit for something, it's either not true, another person's doing, or because he had to break all norms and rules to accomplish it.

Also, I see they let trump alone for an hour this morning so he could spout off his standard lies and racist views. Lovely.

If dems could obstruct like trump said they'd tweet that themselves every day.

Interesting (for several reasons) article from The Intercept

RUSSIAN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before last November’s presidential election, according to a highly classified intelligence report obtained by The Intercept.

Pathetic excuse by poster JPantz who had to think fast on his "millions voted illegally in New Hampshire" statement. Wookie is working hard to sell it!

As expected, the Orlando shooting today was not an act of terror and so there is not a single indication that the White House even knows about it.

I weep for my country. Innocent people died today in an act of violence by a man who should not have had access to a gun, but since he wasn't brown and he wasn't Muslim, the country simply doesn't care.

I'm disgusted with the whole lot of us.

That would be some major projecting if Trump claimed 3 to 5 million illegal Hillary votes when he was actually the candidate who had that many illegal votes.

Chances are it's going to be some 1000 page bill that's really complex so Trump won't read or care about it.

got nothing to do with any of that

it's sell american **** to foreigners for profit who will then make a lot of profit ****ing the rest of us over.
There's no studying and the president and GOP fully know and are part of it ffs.

It won't be a 1000 page bill either.

Mcconnell's wife already had to catch herself spilling the beans on TV awhile ago, it's planned for awhile, and it's definitely not the canadian model. It's the oligarch model.

People keep thinking things are some complicated schemes, this president is too stupid for that it's all simple schemes.
