Wasn't some journalist gonna get in trouble for making fun of Erdogan a little while ago? What's amazing is it seems Trump was the tipping point instead of Erdogan

War isn't good for the economey.
obama demonstrating himself to be an absolute fucking moron for not prosecuting the bush admin torture advocates when he had the chance
By Fenderputty Go To PostWar isn't good for the economey.It's good for congressional and federal elections for incumbents

It's also good for those who have defense contracts.
It can be good for an economey with high unemplymoent and a capacity for manufacturing. So basically not the current US economey
Watching this Trump interview and I realized he's just a rich chump that wants to be liked but is a despicable human being in almost everything he does (because he was raised that way) so it's never going to happen.
He also believes he is wayyyyyy smarter than he is and everybody else is wayyyyyy stupider than they are. It would be a comedy if he wasn't in control of the most deadly country in the world.

Trump will probably pull a Bush and order that no one film that "out of respect for the dead and their families"......
Like Bush is a lovable idiot but Jesus he was a piece of shit and people are already are sort of forgetting it besides the fact he was an idiot

Nixon was a goddamn crook, but he was at least an extremely capable policy maker.
Nixon was competent, but you can make an argument that he's the whole reason we're here right now.

Nixon and more pointedly Agnew introduced a level distrust of establishment institutions in their rhetoric that really set the stage for decades of GOP strategy
Mexican president cancels Trump summit

I knew the Trump era would be bad, but I really thought a lot of the worries were people being melodramatic. Apparently not.
By Washington PostThe State Department’s entire senior management team just resigned
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s job running the State Department just got considerably more difficult. The entire senior level of management officials resigned Wednesday, part of an ongoing mass exodus of senior foreign service officers who don’t want to stick around for the Trump era.

All I can do is laugh. Hopefully the press makes this seem embarrassing for the administration and it gets under shit stains skin.
Spent a good amount of time at the State Department while I worked in humanitarian aid. Pretty incredible that so many people would walk at once. That's definitely coordinated and the timing deliberate.
They'll promote from within but this is another situation where the people that will be effected the most are the those most vulnerable.

Literally treating our country like one of his buildings by plastering his name on it.
His building across from the UN is actually really spectacular.

One of the reasons the Latino population is more conservative in Texas is because they weren't completely awful to Mexican immigrants under Bush.
Trumps plan is pretty clear. Bring down the budget by cutting the meat off of programs that are seen as "opposition" politically, and to bring in significantly more money through tariffs and trade deals that are heavily skewed to favor America.
The question really is how is he going to avoid trade wars with this tactic. But with his misinformation campaign he'll manage to fund what Republicans want while cutting taxes in the process. He'll make America the enemy of virtually everyone by doing this of course, but he'll be popular with his base.

Tariffs should cause a reduction in spending on consumer goods made externally (which is like the majority of them). Prices will go up after all. even stuff that's assembled here generally has parts made overseas. The previous valve manufacturer I worked for did this. They had the body castings and seats and such made at their plant in China and then shipped to the US for installation. This will not coincide with a major influix of internal manufacturing either. That shit takes time. I would imagine this will become a lagging effect on the economy which could bring about a recession and reduce any revenue he thinks these tariffs will create. Think about the prices at wall mart for instance. Who's gonna be most impacted by these price increases?
He's going to do this all while massively cutting taxes, reducing spending on social safety nets and possibly getting us into a war.
This could be fuckin' disastrous.

Holy fucking shit at the lyrics to the Toby Keith song sung in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
The Lincoln Memorial, you know, where Martin Luther King gave his I Have A Dream speech nearly six decades ago...
This might be regionally locked for those outside the US:

You know, I really kinda believed those optimists who thought he'd just kinda drop the wall thing, or only make a token effort.
I know it's what he got a mandate from the American people to do, but is your congress really going to approve a global recession?
Putting enormous resources into a southern wall and then attempting to sabotage Mexico's economy sound like a recipe for disaster as well as a spike in immigration.
Donald Trump has hit out at Mexico after its president cancelled next week's visit to the White House.
The US president said meeting Enrique Pena Nieto would be "fruitless" if Mexico didn't treat the US "with respect" and pay for a new border wall.
God Mexico, it's so disrespectful not paying for a wall someone wants.
