The Trump Presidency :::

Who am I kidding, I'd part her like the Red Sea

 

Not really. You think the poor benefit most from the military, police, intelligence, courts, infrastructure etc? If the USA got invaded by China tomorrow, the poor would hardly be affected at all. If would be the rich who would lose their wealth and influence.

Public spending generally benefits the "haves" under the status quo, and pays out just enough to the "have-nots" to avoid insurrection.

I agree that the idea of making taxes optional in the US is unworkable though.

Liberals who are Tottenham or ManU fans have yet another reason to hate Arsenal.

"One of the principal proselytizers of the PizzaGate conspiracy appears to be David Seaman*, a one-time unpaid Huffington Post contributor and author of Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz: How to Attract Massive Attention for Your Business, Your Product, or Yourself. Seaman's personal YouTube channel has been viewed over 6 million times since October 2016, when he began writing about PizzaGate.

According to one account, he is also "the founder of Shutterline Interactive, a vehicle for rapidly deploying publicity stunts.” In a 2008 YouTube interview to publicize his book, Seaman said, “I would protest gravity if I thought it was going to get me buzz.”

In an online March 3 video, he talked about his “Journey from HuffPo to PizzaGate.”

He and others are calling for a “March on Comet Pizza” on Saturday, March 25.

“If you don't know who David Seaman is, he's the self-appointed head spokesman of the Pizzagate movement,” according to another account on Reddit. “If you are a pizzagater, this association should make you very nervous, because David Seaman is a mentally unstable con man.”

With that mustache and pony tail, you just KNEW he was a crazy perv.

*Might be a different guy with the same name. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Jedi mind tricks only work in the movies little bro... Paul Manafort may have been shit-canned last year but Russian bodies who happen to be mixed up with the Steele Dossier keep piling up, like as in this week.

 

The attacks between Jefferson and Adams were pretty epic.

 

I would argue that he "invented" the Federalists by lumping all those who favored mercantilism and all those who saw advantage in association with England and all those who were concerned about the potential outcome of the French Revolution into one group and opposing them (and by dissing Washington in the process of that opposition.) The Democrats (let us remember that the party called the Republicans for convenience was actually the root of today's Democrats) were the inevitable consequence of that opposition.

But conscious invention, maybe, but more likely not-- maybe. So much of what Jefferson did was in the nature of reflexive behavior; and his considered behavior so often overruled his reflexes that it is hard to tell what he was consciously intending. Invention by unintended consequence, anyone?

 

I hope Seaman takes it on the chin for his wacky beliefs

 

Looks like Manafort is also being investigated by the US Treasury Department Financial Crimes Unit.

Nothing to see here folks ... Fake news ... This is all normal. Every president's campaign manager is up to his eyeballs in Russian mafia money.

 

OK. Than explain this conspiracy you are trying to say.

 

Red Sea didn't part, and neither will she, for you.

 

Or, just today.

 

One thing I will bet on...Our resident trumpster will never be among those losing faith in the deal leader.

My dad went to HS with a President.*













* Not of the United States.

 

Problem is, in today's environment they would be immediately accused of legislating from the keyboard, much as the CBO is accused of being politicized and "auditing the Fed" is seen as a necessary transparency.

The whole structure of our government is dependent on something being seen as disinterested and detached-- the judiciary, the church, the press, the military, something-- to use as a measure of the government's neutrality. And as the pace of progress and change have picked up, there has been less and less ability to keep something both outsidish of the debate and respected by all sides. Accusing the disinterested of partisanship because they don't reject one's opponent, be it abortion, Communists, Negroes, Mexicans, gays, whatever-- has become a routine tactic of whatever last-ditch opposition is currently going on.

If you make the fourth estate part of the government, it will immediately come under attack from the outside as biased and will immediately face partisan efforts to infiltrate and take control of it. If you leave it in private hands there will be funding for partisan corruption of it.

At this point I have some hope for the U S Navy and the Marines, but that's about it.

 

As H. L. Mencken put it ...

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

 

Man, what is it with goalkeepers and crackpot conspiracy theorizing.

I wonder what ex-Coventry City and Hereford United netminder, and current Lizard-people theorist, David Icke thinks about this new guy...

 

Ahem - the Independent Centrist era.

 

I'm sorry...so sorry

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes apologized to members of his panel Thursday for not informing Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat, before going public with allegations that Trump transition messages were inadvertently intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies.

A committee aide said that Nunes apologized "for not sharing information about the documents he saw with the minority before going public” and that “he pledged to work with them on this issue.”
