Except I would've. Don't pretend to know how I would react to anything.
I've had this stance forever. The whole family needs to pack up and move in the White House.
There's plenty of wasteful spending. And this is one of them. So I can address it whenever and however I want.
What do you think of my rhymes above? I'm kind of new at it. just wondering if I have a future career in it.
A capella is cool, but you gotta do it over a Trap beat, then you could have a #1 hit.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Lol, to be fair you'd be surprised at how easy it is to rhyme, and rhyme to a beat. There's good books on it, not like "how to rap" books lmao, but essentially talking about how rhyming and rhythm is done by us as humans naturally everyday.

Makes sense. It's not something that ever really came naturally for me, and I haven't had any formal music education since sixth grade. Ahh well.

Well, you're white. So there's that.
But Eminem is consider #3 all time, bro!!!

Hey, you'll have an exception from time to time. And besides, I think with everything there's a token that is given too much credit due to race. I think that describes Eminem. lol

Trump may have been unclear, but Sweden experiencing a migrant crime wave
Police investigator Peter Springare isn’t likely to be among those mocking President Trump for his remarks about refugees in Sweden.
Trump’s comments during a Florida campaign rally on Saturday – which some took as a misstatement about a supposed terror attack – dovetail with what Springare has been seeing during a typical week in Orebro, Sweden. Five rapes, three assaults, a pair of extortions, blackmail, an attempted murder, violence against police and a robbery made up Springare’s caseload for a five-day period earlier this month, according to a Feb. 3 Facebook post he wrote. The suspects were all from Muslim-majority countries – Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia and Turkey – save for one Swedish man nabbed in a drug-related case.
“Mohammed, Mahmod, Ali, again and again,” Springare wrote of those arrested.
Springare, was briefly investigated for possible hate crime incitement based on his post.
Looks like the VP and other underlings are going to do the right things regardless of Trump's craziness and unpresidential rhetoric. Good to see them putting out the fires. Kudos to Mattis and Pence.
I think the left is in an enviable spot in regards to the media. Since liberals control the media, they control what comes out of it and then when us tighty righties protest, they can claim fascism. It's a tough spot to be in. Luckily the internet, and the relatively free flow of information that comes with it, has changed things considerably. Trump dominated online polls and internet engagement stats.

Y'all control Trump's media information sources, so start getting those facts right and quit making your President look so misinformed.

Debatable. Maybe somebody who considers themselves more of a pure conservative than I am can respond to that.
"I hate the press. I hate you, especially." - John McCain, in that video. Note that he said it with a smile, but it hints that he does indeed have some underlying frustration with the media.
I'm all for a free press. I'm all for free speech, especially. Trump is really pushing this angle hard but apply freedom of speech to Trump: isn't he allowed to say those things? It's not like he is trying to shut down any of these networks. CNN and MSNBC can say outrageously biased and unfriendly things about Trump, and Trump can respond in kind. Rinse and repeat for (at least) four years. It's not an ideal situation but I don't have a major problem with it either.
[ John McCain may well be the person who saves the Republican party from disintegration
Glen Greenwald of the Intercept and a constitutional lawyer had this to say about your Democratic party: "The party has collapsed as a national political force," Greenwald said, adding that in addition to losing control of Congress and the White House, they are one state legislature away from allowing Republicans to hold unilateral Constitutional conventions, which require support of two-thirds of the 50 legislatures.
MAGA
John McCain is a big part of the reason we have Donald Trump, IMHO. The Republican establishment, especially in the Senate, have rolled over and played dead doe the past decade, with about the only evidence of a spine being in not bringing up Obama's Supreme Court nominee. It took their own power being on the line for them to actually grow a backbone against Obama, at all.
The House has passed a bunch of legislation since the Republicans have had the House, but Harry Reid "desk vetoed" most of it, but the Republicans have held the city since 2014. However, legislation still went to the Senate to die. The Republicans could have flooded Obama's desk with conservative legislation, but they simply refused to do it.
These men who have been in the Senate and in leadership positions in the Senate, for decades, are a big part of the problem; men like McCain, Graham, and other Republicans who have served for 30+ years in the Senate, and who get tough in election years, and then go back to being weak and ineffectual once re-elected.
Sad.
Like Trump or not, but he is actually pushing many of the things he campaigned on. That's a bit of fresh air from a guy I don't always agree with.
I have had a similar thought before, which is more philosophical than anything:
Say liberals push for some insane, self-defeating policy, but they truly believe in their hearts that it is the right thing to do. Conservatives resist and resist, knowing how damaging it will be, but then eventually relent and allow it to happen, for fear of short-term consequences such as losing out on business or being called nasty words.
Who is at fault here?
If it is a policy that is totally abhorrent to a politician's ideals, then they should oppose it, or at least get something they believe strongly (that would heal a different part of the country/economy) back in return. (like Reagan did, when he gave on some issues to get his policies through a Dem controlled Congress)
However, what the Dems are doing to Trump's nominees is ridiculous. A President's cabinet is going to be made up of people the other party is going to disagree with. However, more Presidents get their cabinets through, minus maybe 1 or 2 sacrificial lambs along the way. This time, though, Dems are slow walking everything they can. That's ridiculous. Presidents usually get their cabinets. That may change, though. The next time Dems hold the White House, I expect that the Republicans will slow walk, or outright reject many nominees.

Trump watches Fox News and Breitbart, then forms half thought through statements to spin topics into alternative facts that fit his beliefs.
Specific enough?
Trump's Administration and supporters in a single gif:
Specific enough?
Fox isn't great, I wouldn't exactly call them "fair and balanced" as they claim but I do think they are the fairest of the major networks. Believe me, it took me a long time to get to that point, and it has more to do with the other networks than it does Fox.
I don't really read a whole lot of Breitbart. Occasionally it comes up in a search. Based on how much liberals attack that source, there has to be some good info there. I will make it a point to read it more in the future.
Also dogs are awesome. At least they have loyalty, which is more than you can say about some people out there.
Why was Hillary not only sitting in on meetings, but actually running a committee on health care, back when she was 1st lady? There is a precedent here for a family member to take on additional roles in the White House. Also, as you noted, it's an informal meeting.

Russia Compiles Psychological Dossier on Trump for Putin
A dossier on Donald Trump's psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Among its preliminary conclusions is that the new American leader is a risk-taker who can be naïve, according to a senior Kremlin adviser.
Trump "doesn't understand fully who is Mr. Putin — he is a tough guy," former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News.
The file is being compiled by retired diplomats and some of Putin's staff, he added.
The attempt to get inside the U.S. president's mind is aimed at helping Putin plan for his first meeting with America's new leader, the date for which is yet to be decided.
"Very serious preparatory work is going on in the Kremlin, including a paper — seven pages — describing a psychological portrait of Trump, especially based on this last two to three months, and the last weeks," added Fedorov, who said he has known Trump since 2000.
The dossier was being revised regularly, he said, adding that many in the Kremlin believed that Trump viewed the presidency as a business.
Fedorov added: "Trump is not living in a box — he is living in a crowd. He should listen to the people around him especially in the areas where he is weak."
It is normal for any president or leader to be fully briefed before entering negotiations for the first time with a rival leader, but preparing a detailed dossier on the mind and instincts of a U.S. leader is unusual.
Putin's government is growing increasingly concerned about Trump's battles in Washington, according to Fedorov and former lawmaker Sergei Markov, who remains well-connected at the Kremlin.
It is worried the president will not have the political power to improve relations with Russia, as he has indicated he might try to do, and even, perhaps, lift some U.S. sanctions.
U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia conducted a covert hacking operation to undermine the U.S. election process, which evolved into an attempt to help Trump win the White House. They also believe with "a high level of confidence" that Putin became personally involved in the campaign to interfere in the election.
The White House's connection with the Kremlin — and how deep it runs — remains under scrutiny, which has only ramped up last week when Mike Flynn resigned from his role as national security adviser after admitting to misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other senior administration officials about conversations he had with the Russian ambassador to the United States in December.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has no government or diplomatic experience, but boasts exceptionally close ties with Moscow and Putin.
And former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort — who resigned in August amid questions about his ties to pro-Russia interests in Ukraine — told NBC News last week that he had "no contact knowingly with Russian intelligence officials." Manafort was reportedly one of the Trump campaign officials whose communications were investigated by the FBI, according to The New York Times.
During the election campaign, Trump spoke fondly of Putin. But earlier this month, Trump told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that while he respects Putin "that doesn't mean I'm going to get along with him."
Meanwhile, the creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate Russian interference in the presidential election has won bipartisan support.
The issue of Russia "is now a kind of banana skin for Trump — that's why we should avoid any kind of step that could damage Trump," said Fedorov. "Trump cannot come to a meeting with Putin as a loser — he must sort out his domestic problems first."
Fedorov added that Trump's "constant battle with the mass media" was "worrying us."
The U.S. president "is dancing on thin ice," he said. "It's a risky game."
A former prime minister under Putin said the Kremlin is taking no pleasure at Trump's struggles.
"Absolutely not — not laughing," Mikhail Kasyanov said. "The situation is very serious and the whole of [Putin's] team, they are nervous."
Many in the Kremlin believe hardliners in America — in Congress and the military — want to sabotage the president and his plans for better ties with Russia.
Some even talk of a conspiracy against Trump. Markov, the former lawmaker, told NBC News that he believes America's intelligence services "want to overthrow President Trump in a coup" because of his desire to improve relations with Russia.
Flynn was a victim of U.S. intelligence services, according to Markov.
So while many in Russia celebrated Trump's election, the mood in Moscow was changing from delight at Trump's election to doubt about his ability to deliver on a better relationship with Russia, he added.
"Donald Trump has done nothing good for Russia, nothing," Markov said. "But they already attack him."
I bet that every country, with the resources to do so, has psychological and emotional profiles done, and has every minor to major piece of "actionable" information they can find.
You don't really think that Russia went into Ukraine and Libya without knowing that Obama would back down, do you? They had a really strong idea of hos he would respond. (or not respond)

"The thing is, I don't agree with his analysis and applying that to the president. I haven't seen any legislation coming forward that wants to limit the press. I see President Trump expressing his opinion, rather forceful, in his own distinct way, but I see no evidence that anybody's putting forward any kind of legislation to limit the press.
This is colored by John MCain's disagreement with President Trump. It all is. Everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he's got running with President Trump. And it should be taken with a grain of salt because John McCain's the guy that's advocated for war everywhere, he would bankrupt the nation, and actually, we're very luck John McCain's not in charge because I think we'd be in perpetual war."
She is raising her son and letting him finish the school year without having to transfer to DC. like a good mother. When school ends, they are moving to DC.
First time I've seen that aspect mentioned anywhere. If this is the case, then I understand and her not being in the WH is a non-story and I would agree that everybody needs to shut up about it.
If she's staying there throughout the entire term, then I still take issue with it.

The first signs of rap music came from Jamaica in the 50's, and then took off officially in the 70's.
Also, blacks are responsibility for the creation of most music here in America, including jazz, blues, and rock n roll, which by the way, country is heavily influenced by.
So again, I hope you're joking. Cause what you're saying isn't the truth.

And? There are Swedish people on Facebook turning up cause of what Trump said. They view it as a slap in the face.
If I post a video of some dude saying the holocaust never happened, is that somehow credible?
Hey Haus, Swedish embassy still looking for a response.

Did you even watch or listen to the videos? Cash started it as his own thing. Country was around long before rock, and is actually influenced by it's Scottish and Irish roots, as is the country accent. I don't argue the influence of blacks on music in this country.
