Trump wins

NOW That's presidential
A teen made a website where kittens punch Trump. So, Trump unleashed his lawyers.
President Trump is busy this week helping to make sure millions of Americans don't lose their health insuran — -sorry, I mean, shutting down a teenage girl.
17-year-old Lucy from San Francisco recently designed a site called Kittenfeed.com (initially called TrumpScratch), where users get to punch Trump's face with tiny little kitchen paws. It seemed like a pretty harmless, anti-Trump site (the kittens don't even scratch!) — until she got a letter from the lawyers of a certain "well known businessman," The Observer reports.

That "internationally known" and "famous" businessman (his lawyers words, not mine) is, of course, Donald Trump. In the letter, Trump's general counsel encourages the teen to cease and desist and shut down the website.
After receiving the letter, Lucy decided to change the name of the website to Kittenfeed.com. That wasn't enough for Trump's counsel, who reportedly continued to press the 17-year-old girl. The family is waiting to see their next move.
"It’s so sad that his administration is focused more on being liked, burying real news and taking down sites like mine as they supposedly make him look bad," Lucy told The Observer.
Predictably, Trump's lawyers letter had the opposite effect of their intention. After The Observer published the report yesterday, the site's visitors surged from 3,000 to 50,000.
Lesson: you can mess with Trump's lawyers, but don't you ever touch an animated kitten.

Donald Trump keeps getting things wrong. And there’s not much we can do about it.
Here are the first two lines of a terrific piece written Monday by Philip Rucker and Ashley Parker:
On the 60th day of his presidency came the hardest truth for Donald Trump.
He was wrong.
Which is right. Trump spent the last month insisting that President Barack Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower despite offering zero evidence to back up that claim. And, on Monday, FBI Director James B. Comey made very clear — in a public congressional hearing no less! — that neither the FBI nor the broader Justice Department had found any support for that claim.
Comey joins former director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. and Obama in insisting that no evidence exists to back up Trump’s claim. Trump and his senior aides continue to make vague assurances that other information might be out there, but have yet to offer any proof for those claims.
Put simply: It’s now fairly obvious that the current president of the United States made a baseless and serious accusation about the man he succeeded in the White House. He claimed, falsely, that he had been wiretapped and insinuated it was part of a broader effort led by the sitting administration to keep him from winning.
That seems like a very big deal, right?
And it is! But, the truth of the matter is that the consequences for Trump for this sort of behavior are, well, very amorphous.
Democrats — and even some Republicans — are calling on Trump to apologize to Obama. But, beyond that? Nothing. And, even an apology from Trump, which — guess what? — isn't coming, seems like a very small price to pay for the allegation.
The simple fact is that short of impeachment, which is used extremely sparingly and rightly so, there is a relative pittance of punitive measures for a president like Trump who is willing to say things that just aren’t true. Shame has long been the tool of choice in politics. As in: A president says something that fact-checkers rule is totally false. The president, concerned — even if he won’t acknowledge it — about how he is perceived by the political class, either apologizes for the remark or just stops saying it. Like the political class or hate them, that shaming was a way of regulating political rhetoric.
Trump is not interested in the opinions of the political class. In fact, he likes the idea of sticking it to those people and believes it is fundamental to his political brand. Which it is! The issue, in this context, is that without any sort of way to regulate or punish Trump short of impeachment, it means that the president has very few limitations on what he says or does.
No modern president has taken advantage of that fact in ways that Trump has. He simply creates his own reality — often through tweets to his 26.8 million followers — and then ignores any attempts to hold him accountable to the facts. Because shame doesn’t work on him, there’s almost nothing to be done to change his behavior.
Trump is a president unlike any we have ever seen before. His willingness to stretch the bounds of truth — and then be unapologetic about doing so — is something we’ve not seen on a regular basis in the White House before now. (Yes, Republicans, Bill Clinton lied about his affair with a White House intern. And he was impeached — by the House — for it.) Trump understands that the punitive consequences for continuing to insist that he was wiretapped are relatively minimal. And so he will keep doing it.
 
omg another ******* for brains!
for all the bullshit you have thrown out not one line of proof for all your bullshit!
my education seems to go further than yours since you rely on undocumented bull *******
You are well versed in profanity, you tend to ignore facts you can't refute. These are traits that I have observed over the years in people that are poorly educated, or poorly prepared for a debate. Which are you?
 
well that's 3 now... all so highly educated... and seem to be the only ones in the know.... and yet provide nothing but lip service for trump.... and for most of the country.... that is not saying much!.... since if you really boil it down.... he only got about 25% of the country voting for him.....he lost by 3 million to Hillary to begin with... and over half the working people in the country didn't vote.... so we have a few morons on here dictating intelligence?... wtf?
And you are providing lip service for a failed political party
 
Mexico fits in there with what 40 billion a year I think.... big numbers anyway..... and look at how he is treating them.... they buy a lot of farming equip and etc.... about 5 million jobs.... I think they deserve a little better treatment than what he is giving them.... and already there are farmers in calif complaining... can't get help to pick crops.... having to pay more and still can't get the help.... guess we will end up paying more for fruit and etc this summer.... he has this thing in his head they are all bad..... but also 70% of restraint help is Mexican.... that whole thing could end up hurting the economy....he is not a world leader by any means!
Mexico gets more income from remittances from their citizens working outside of Mexico, mostly in the United States than they do from their petroleum industry.
 
Even as you say that you can't trust Russia, at the very least from your Dr. Strangelove mindset this brief period of friendship allows America to plan out their moves against Russia just like Bobby Fischer did in chess.
Russia has a long history of deception and there is little or no evidence that attitude has changed
 
I know a lot of people with an education who are as stupid as fuck..... and you do prove that!
the world is full of intellectual idiots!.... who can only work out of a book
I am not interested in just how fucking smart you think you are... you still just shoot off at the mouth with no links to anything.... similar to the god you worship!
and with all those smarts you sit here at a porn site trying to tell people how smart you are.... must be unemployed!
or little call for any more egotistic assholes since we already have one in the white house

and for all your so called intelligence...... how many arguments have you won by telling the other person you are smarter?..... I doubt any....most see you for what you are... a bullshit artist!

BTW you might want to check all those diploma's.... and see if they are actually signed by a university!
some of those you get on late night Tv or over the internet are not real valid anywhere.... except in your own mind!
True there are educated people that are less than stellar in their achievements. However in the the world's of business and medicine incompetence generally doesn't play well. Just to put things into perspective Pencildick63 strikes me of being educated and behaving like an adult. A degree in Biology is a fairly common degree that a student acquires before starting medical school. I got an MBA on the advice of counselors at college. I got my PhD on the advice of the man that helped make my career. You on the other hand are a delivery man? That comes out to a significant difference in our respective views of the world. I enjoy meeting and sharing thoughts with people from all walks of life and all the cultures I can meet. I do not enjoy people that are rude and vulgar. It would be nice if you could educate yourself a bit and be less vulgar with people you don't agree with
 
first... you ended 2 conversations stating all your education and apparently in your mind my lack of.... that is not an answer to anything... it does not impress me in the least.... to me if that's your answer... "I'm more educated"... go fuck your self... talk to someone else... you just don't impress me.... you have stated nothing I agree with at all... and having an education does not make your OPINION any more valuable....how much more plain can I make it for... someone so educated.... talk to someone else!
I'm not interested in hearing your holier than thou educated bullshit!
One thing that pencildick63 and I share is due to our education we are accustomed to have our opinion's listened to and considered. Of course a Medical Doctor has to make life and death decisions and mine usually won't ******* anybody but if I am wrong people can wish they were dead
 
AP FACT CHECK: Trump takes credit he hasn't earned
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump boasted Tuesday night about corporate job expansion and military cost-savings that actually took root under his predecessor and gave a one-sided account of the costs and benefits to the economy from immigration — ignoring the upside.
A look at some of his claims in his prime-time speech to Congress:

TRUMP: "According to the National Academy of Sciences, our current immigration system costs America's taxpayers many billions of dollars a year."
THE FACTS: That's not exactly what that report says. It says immigrants "contribute to government finances by paying taxes and add expenditures by consuming public services."
The report found that while first-generation immigrants are more expensive to governments than their native-born counterparts, primarily at the state and local level, immigrants' children "are among the strongest economic and fiscal contributors in the population." This second generation contributed more in taxes on a per capita basis, for example, than did non-immigrants in the period studied, 1994-2013.
The report found that the "long-run fiscal impact" of immigrants and their children would probably be seen as more positive "if their role in sustaining labor ******* growth and contributing to innovation and entrepreneurial activity were taken into account."
___
TRUMP: "We've saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by bringing down the price" of the F-35 jet fighter.
THE FACTS: The cost savings he persists in bragging about were secured in full or large part before he became president.
The head of the Air ******* program announced significant price reductions in the contract for the Lockheed F-35 fighter jet Dec. 19 — after Trump had tweeted about the cost but weeks before he met the company's CEO about it.
Pentagon managers took action even before the election to save money on the contract. Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with the aerospace consulting firm Teal Group, said there is no evidence of any additional cost savings as a result of Trump's actions.

TRUMP: "Since my election, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart and many others have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs."
THE FACTS: It's unlikely Trump is the sole or even primary reason for the expected hiring he cites. Many of the announcements reflect corporate decisions that predate his election.
In the case of Intel, construction of the Chandler, Arizona, factory referred to by Trump actually began during Barack Obama's presidency. The project was delayed by insufficient demand for Intel's high-powered computer chips, but the company now expects to finish the factory within four years because it anticipates business growth.
More important, even as some companies create jobs, others are laying off workers. The best measure of whether more jobs are actually being created is the monthly employment report issued by the Labor Department, which nets out those gains and losses. The department will issue its report for February, the first full month of Trump's term, on March 10.
___
TRUMP: His budget plan will offer "one of the largest increases in national defense spending in American history."
THE FACTS: Three times in recent years, Congress raised defense budgets by larger percentages than the $54 billion, or 10 percent, increase that Trump proposes. The base defense budget grew by $41 billion, or 14.3 percent, in 2002; by $37 billion, or 11.3 percent, in 2003, and by $47 billion, or 10.9 percent, in 2008, according to Defense Department figures.


___
TRUMP: "We will provide massive tax relief for the middle class."
THE FACTS: Trump has provided little detail on how this would happen. Independent analyses of his campaign's tax proposals found that most of the benefits would flow to the wealthiest families. The richest 1 percent would see an average tax cut of nearly $215,000 a year, while the middle one-fifth of the population would get a cut of just $1,010, according to the Tax Policy Center, a joint project by the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute.


___
TRUMP: "Ninety-four million Americans are out of the labor *******."
THE FACTS: That's true, but for the vast majority of them, it's because they choose to be.
That 94 million figure includes everyone aged 16 and older who doesn't have a job and isn't looking for one. So it includes retirees, parents who are staying home to raise children, and high school and college students who are studying rather than working.
They are unlikely to work regardless of the state of the economy. With the huge baby-boomer generation reaching retirement age and many of them retiring, the population of those out of the labor ******* is increasing and will continue to do so, most economists forecast.
It's true that some of those out of the workforce are of working age and have given up looking for work. But that number is probably a small fraction of the 94 million Trump cited.
___
TRUMP: "According to data provided by the Department of Justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted for terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our country. We have seen the attacks at home — from Boston to San Bernardino to the Pentagon and yes, even the World Trade Center."
THE FACTS: It's unclear what Justice Department data he's citing, but the most recent government information that has come out doesn't back up his claim. Just over half the people Trump talks about were actually born in the United States, according to Homeland Security Department research revealed last week. That report said of 82 people the government determined were inspired by a foreign terrorist group to attempt or carry out an attack in the U.S., just over half were native-born citizens.
Even the attacks Trump singled out weren't entirely the work of foreigners. Syed Rizwan Farook, who along with his Pakistani wife killed 14 people in the deadly 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, was born in Chicago.
It's true that in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, the FBI's primary concern was with terrorists from overseas feared to be plotting attacks in the United States. But that's no longer the case.
The FBI and the Justice Department have been preoccupied with violent extremists from inside the U.S. who are inspired by the calls to violence and mayhem of the Islamic State group. The Justice Department has prosecuted scores of IS-related cases since 2014, and many of the defendants are U.S. citizens.
___
TRUMP: "Obamacare is collapsing ... imploding Obamacare disaster."
THE FACTS: There are problems with the 2010 health care law, but whether it's collapsing is hotly disputed.
One of the two major components of the Affordable Care Act has seen a spike in premiums and a drop in participation from insurers. But the other component, equally important, seems to be working fairly well, even if its costs are a concern.
Trump and congressional Republicans want to repeal the whole thing, which risks leaving millions of people uninsured if the replacement plan has shortcomings. Some critics say GOP rhetoric itself is making things worse by creating uncertainty about the future.
The health law offers subsidized private health insurance along with a state option to expand Medicaid for low-income people. Together, the two arms of the program cover more than 20 million people.
Republican governors whose states have expanded Medicaid are trying to find a way to persuade Congress and the administration to keep the expansion, and maybe even build on it, while imposing limits on the long-term costs of Medicaid.
While the Medicaid expansion seems to be working, the markets for subsidized private health insurance are stressed in many states. Also affected are millions of people who buy individual policies outside the government markets, and face the same high premiums with no financial help from the health law.
Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation says "implosion" is too strong a term. An AP count found that 12.2 million people signed up for this year, despite the Trump administration's threats to repeal the law.
But a health care blogger and industry consultant, Robert Laszewski, agrees with Trump, saying too few young, healthy people have signed up to guarantee the stability of the insurance markets.
If we pitched ever politician that fed us bullshit we wouldn't need term limits
 
Trump now crying Obama had Trump tower "bugged".... I really doubt that!.... just more bullshit accusations from a known liar

but I would bet that it was bugged..... after all how many of Trumps people were talking to the Russians.... especially after it was known that they tried to mess with the election!.... I bet the FBI has a boat load of ******* on the whole team....

I think Trump will have an "out" on all this.....and do what he likes doing anyway..... being a first at things...he will have a mental breakdown... and some say he is not far from that now!
I would be surprised if he didn't bug Trump and I would be surprised if Trump didn't spy on Obama. Political espionage has been a way of life since at least the Kennedy administration and likely before that
 
Look at your fucking picture that you post with!... what the fuck does it say?
Laumorgan
well known member... country ..UK!

unless you are another one of those with someone else' pic and phony info!

And that would be a first for this site wouldn't it??

Like I said to you way back when, be careful what you cite as a fact just because you read it somewhere.

But you knew that didn't you?

Out of curiosity what is the longest you can go without using some form of "fuck"?
 
Now this would be the version of Dumb and Dumber!


Trump's ******* criticizes London mayor after attack
Washington (CNN)President Trump's ******* is criticizing the mayor of London in the immediate aftermath of an attack in the city that killed four and wounded about 40 on the grounds of the UK Parliament. Trump's *******, Donald Trump Jr., manages the Trump Organization and has no role in the White House, but he remains an occasional surrogate for his *******. The younger Trump also occasionally calls out the President's political opponents on Twitter, the venue he chose Wednesday to weigh in on the incident in Britain. "You have to be kidding me?!" Trump Jr. tweeted, as he shared an article from The Independent, and paraphrased its headline as: "Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London ...
