I'll do this whenever I can

Fake news- enemy of the people. Sources: They make them up when there are none. Bad polling (Not LA Times). False narrative. "We're going to to something about it"

Will put its own citizens first (not) traded away jobs, defended other borders, let everyone in Build a wall, "gonna start soon", "getting the bad ones", "keep my promise"

Trillions of dollars overseas while allowing our infrastructure of all apart. $6 trillion in the Middle East.


Failed healthcare law threatens the nation with catastrophe. Best thing to do is let it implode. But it's not the right thing to do. Repeal and replace

Inherited national debt, $20 trillion dollars. Foreign policy that's a disaster. "We're going to win big" [on the international scene].

"well stop the drugs from pouring in". "We get the drugs, they get the money. We get the problems, they get the cash."

Reducing violent crime. Chicago. Seven people shot in that great American city.

Make trade deals, one on one. None of these big quagmire deals.
NAFTA = economic undevelopment.


Authorized construction Keystone and Dakota Access pipeline. [will] Lift restrictions on American energy ... natural gas, shale oil, and clean coal. Miners are going back to work.

Reducing regulation, "going to put the regulation industry out of business" "I want regulations"

Make our tax code more simple and more fair for everyone, including the people and the business.

Military- bigger, and better, and stronger than before .... One of the greatest military buildups in history.

Totally obliterate ISIS.

Screen our borders.

Take a look at what happened in Sweden .... Germany .... France .... Nice ... Paris. Never reported.

Still don't have my Cabinet approved ... Democrats please, approve our Cabinet and get smart on healthcare too, if you don't mind ...

Caterpillar, Tractor (?) Campbell's Soup, 29 building in this country

Meeting with unions, meeting with police ...

Checking off the promises made to the American people, reduce taxes, cut regulations, support our police, defend our flag, rebuild our military, take care of our great great veterans, fix broken and embarrassing trade deals, cut wasteful spending promote our values, rebuild our inner cities

The GOP will be the party of the American worker. Not answer to donors or lobbyists or special interests

"There is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency, or global flag. This is the United States of America that I'm representing, I'm not representing the globe, I'm representing your country. There is one allegiance that unites us all."

"All totally equal in the eyes of almighty god"

I said you defend him, not support. Think about it - any time Trump speaks there's a higher than 50-50 chance he's lying. If you don't get that you've been asleep or are a wantonly imbecile. I'm sure even his supporters understand he tells some whoppers. Most everyone that speaks English knows this. The fact that you want to talk about his words I take as yet another deflection, another defense on your part. - GSTRING

Origins: Pulitzer vs. Hearst
Etymology and early usage
The term was coined in the mid-1890s to characterize the sensational journalism that used some yellow ink in the circulation war between Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. The battle peaked from 1895 to about 1898, and historical usage often refers specifically to this period. Both papers were accused by critics of sensationalizing the news in order to drive up circulation, although the newspapers did serious reporting as well.

My god you are cringeworthy, did you know that?

Here's a thought: try using "the google" BEFORE you post about something about which you know nothing.

Like I said: No interest in discussing anything. Now that you have my opinion - instead of the voices in your head - you suddenly become scarce. That's OK, I'm just thinking out loud here anyway, I don't really need your input. I've since learned that most people here (with a few exceptions) don't really have any thoughts on most topics anyway.

Just one more thing to add: Does Trump understand that business has an allegiance to the green in its pocket, not the United States? That there is still an irreducible conflict between those who profit from the labor of others, and "everyone else"?

No evidence yet of Trump team, Russia collusion: U.S. lawmaker

The head of a congressional committee investigating possible contacts between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia's government said on Monday the panel had not yet seen evidence of inappropriate communications with Moscow and insisted there was no need for a special prosecutor.

"What are we going to appoint a special prosecutor to do, exactly?" Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asked at a news conference.

Nunes said U.S. intelligence officials had not yet presented the committee with any evidence of contacts between Trump campaign staff and Russian intelligence. However, the top Democrat on the committee said later on Monday that it was far too early to make such a determination.

"It's been looked into and there's no evidence of anything there," Nunes told a news conference, called days after a weekend report by the Washington Post that the Trump administration asked him and Senator Richard Burr, the chairman of that chamber's intelligence panel, to call journalists to knock down reports about possible collusion.

The story prompted questions about whether congressional committees led by Trump's fellow Republicans would conduct a serious investigation of the politically charged allegations.

Nunes said the White House had not asked him to knock down the reports, and said he did not think his communications with news organizations had been inappropriate.

Underscoring the partisan divide, Representative Adam Schiff, the intelligence committee's top Democrat, told his own news conference that it was far too early in the process to come to any conclusions.

"When you begin an investigation, you don't begin by stating what you believe to be the conclusion," he said.

'STONEWALLING'

Separately, Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, said Nunes' remarks raised "serious questions about stonewalling."

White House press secretary Sean Spicer told a news briefing that administration officials did their job "very effectively" by ensuring reporters got the answers they needed.

Potential contact between Trump's campaign and Russia, and possible Russian attempts to influence the 2016 election on Trump's behalf, have prompted Democrats to demand a select committee or special prosecutor.

Most of Trump's fellow Republicans in Congress have resisted such suggestions, frustrating Democrats, who contrast their approach with their multiple investigations of 2015 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, including her use of a private email server.

Schiff said on Monday he was not confident that James Comey, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, would provide investigators with all the information they would need.

Comey, a Republican, drew furious criticism from Democrats for saying just before the election that he was looking at emails related to Clinton's use of a private server.

Nunes said he did not want U.S. citizens to be hauled before Congress because of news reports about their potential ties to Russia. "We can't have McCarthyism back in this place," he said, alluding to the notorious 1950s Senate hearings into Americans' potential ties to Communism.

When Trump won I was horrified, embarrassed and also excited at about 95% for the first 2 and 5% for the excited part. "Maybe, since he is so outside the beltway and such a good sales person (I've known a few amazing sales people - shudder) he'll actually show us how to get positive things done? (Seriously, it's obvious).

Or...

Sure, it's early, but it's already worse that I expected.

You have always been an exceptionally kind person DT, so I wouldn't expect you to have any negative feelings about anyone here, especially the *olde* ones, no matter their behavior. Here's to hoping you don't change any time soon.

That's what he has to leave his children. that's a huge investment, a lifetime, and you can't buy that away with a bribe.
