Come to think of it, I have always seen Crossfit in much the same light. Never made a connection there, hmmm.
Isn't crossfit just some kind of workout program that crossfit gyms specialize in?

I don't like Trump's response to the collision. Not because it's his duty as POTUS, but because he predictably shows concern, or lack of, based on what's good for him.

Good work from Farenthold at WP as usual.



That's 11/23 charity orgs that will no longer be hosting functions at Mar-a-lago in the wake of Charlottesville.

Stuff like this is pretty important imo, as Trump is so psychologically deformed that this might well have more impact on him than all the denunciations, protests, criticism and staff advice combined.

Boats are notoriously hard to drive, but I thought, you know, the Navy had pretty much figured that stuff out a while back. Like maybe 500 years ago?

I hear a lot of things being blamed on Trump... You guys do realise that he's just the front man, by blaming him for many of these things your actually playing directly into the hands of the people who are pulling the strings.

I'm pretty sure crossfit is some kind of doomsday cult based on my FB feed.

If anyone is pulling Trump's strings, they must be suffering from Parkinson's disease.

I'm guessing Crossfit has something to do with Amway, but I have never worked up the courage to talk to one of those weirdos.

They must be laughing real hard at so many people for falling for it! Trump is not the most powerful man in the world. That is a joke.

If they don't pay they default... Which would be bad.

With so much going out with nothing in return there's little the government can do to keep the economy afloat without waging wars and being pretty darn nasty.

It's not trumps doing. I think he genuinely wanted to do all those things he said before he was elected. I just think he didn't realise that he cant afford it.

No one single person most likely. Everyone is fighting for chances to exploit Trump because 1) He thinks his instinct rules all, and is not concerned with vetting people. 2) He's easily exploitable with fake loyalty and ego stroking. 3) He'll be a willing or unwilling accessory to anything.

I think the only coordinated effort for everyone in the Executive across the board is the cover-up. Trump is never bad and don't ever admit anything. You don't like it? Quit.

don't worry about trump, worry about the illuminati

Sound man, you seem to get the general jist...

The way I see it, once upon a time religions ruled the world, and recently the business man has taken over. But their not gonna go and take responsibility for their actions because that would mean that they couldn't be evil anymore! So they let the governments stay on and pretend to lead. Their job is to cover everything up.

I think the people should make a hostile takeover of the business world and quickly, because once machines can do everyones jobs the people will lose their power. And I dread to think what the businessmen will do when that happens. I doubt they will just let us all have an everlasting holiday.

If you can get them to listen, you win 90% of the battle. When average people hear "Russia" now, it's got the same effect as emails did last year.

Public interest was abysmal around a month ago. After NK and NC, it's virtually non existent. Remember when collusion was the big thing? Noone can be bothered with that when there are NAZIS marching in the streets.
