Oh dear... First Vova Putin, then Kim Jong-un, now Viktor Orban... Trump really knows how to pick allies. Trump's envoy in Budapest says the U.S. president likened Orban to a twin brother: “It’s like we’re twins,†Trump told Orban and also says Orban is "tough and respected". https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-15/trump-compared-orban-to-a-twin-brother-envoy-tells-444-hu The two leaders got along so well that Trump told Orban at the end of their White House meeting on Monday that “it’s like we’re twins,†U.S. Ambassador David Cornstein, who was present, told 444.hu in an interview published Wednesday."The dictator is coming". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hl83Jpd_OI |

Newsflash, the tighter Bernie and AOC get, the less chance he has of winning either the nomination or the election. I believe the people of Wisconsin might not agree with your assessment of their financial state. This from the New York Times(hardly a Trumpeter), https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/11/us/politics/trump-the-us-economy.html By Jeremy W. PetersSince Bernie's plan is to give 'free' benefits for about everyone and tax the hell out of The People to do so, I don't believe he will be viable. Since the Dim view has always been 'If it moves, regulate it, and when it stops moving, tax it', they will not have a prayer against a roaring economy. Obama made the statement to the effect that Trump can't bring back manufacturing jobs lost without a magic wand........guess what? Apparently he has one. By the way, James Carville was the speech writer/political strategist for Bubba, and he did originate "It's the economy, Stupid". Bubba just spoke the words like the sock puppet he is. He was never sharp enough to have thought that up on his own. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_the_economy%2C_stupid ""It's the economy, stupid" is a slight variation of the phrase "The economy, stupid", which James Carville coined as a campaign strategist of Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign against sitting president George H. W. Bush." "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

He did that with Kim, Putin, Xi, and with anyone else he's trying to influence. He only calls out those who will never accept his P.O.V. ie Iran, Hezbollah, ISIS, and the radically Dim.

It must be great being a convicted crook these days in the U.S. with v2.0 at the helm. Trump pardons media tycoon, former GOP leader of California State Assembly. While businesses and people are moving out of v2.0's Towers and it also looks like no one wants to go to v2.0's Doral golf resort either with business down 69%. Trump's Doral resort is in steep decline, report says. Why Are Trump’s Businesses in Trouble? It’s All in the Name. He might have bragged that he was America's richest person (which was a very long way from the truth even back then), but it looks like his account books are sliding even further into decline with his once most profitable business (according to him anyway) going down the chute at a rapid rate. And then there's that revolving door. Trump revolving door creates 'unprecedented' vacancy mess in government. No mention was made on the state of the bearings, but I hope that they're of a better quality than some of that junk that the U.S. is trying to sell over here ATM. And then there are all those farmers who are feeling the pain over v2.0's trade war. Farmer who voted for Trump: I'm not going to be quiet. Even Faux News is feeling the pressure with many blue ribbon advertisers leaving and an internal rebellion against v2.0 pandering. “Executives Are Very Worried Fox & Friends Will Be Nextâ€: After Taking Over Fox, Lachlan Murdoch Is in a Trump Trap. |

•Democrat Presidential Contender Tulsi Gabbard unleashes on 'blatant' liar James Clapper in Joe Rogan interview• Just finished watching the Rogan podcast and Tulsi was nothing short of awesome. That whole segment you quoted gets a LOT better. Spoiler alert! It's about Snowden and how she'd pardon him. She already had my full respect but DAMN, I never thought I'd hear any of the 2020 candidates say it out loud. Should be around the one hour and forty minute mark... can't link because of language. Also loved the fact she watches South Park and appears to fully understand why a "chilling effect" is a bad idea. Go Tulsi. And it was just a couple days ago I called her a bit "stiff". Her last Rogan interview was only 8 months ago and I watched that one back then. And stiff she was. Not this time :) |

We'll see how that works out Eye seeing that they told us that there wasn't any $'s to spend and then they turn around covering most of the policies of the opposition while suddenly splashing hundreds of million of $'s about. But 1 thing is that we didn't wind up with a psychopath who wants war to the top job. Now back to v2.0. GOP Rep. Amash becomes first Republican to say Trump 'engaged in impeachable conduct'. Deutsche Bank staff saw suspicious Trump and Kushner activity – report. As v2.0 carries on with his trade war while trying to figure out how to have real war in the Middle East it looks like he'll have 1 on his door step. Gillibrand: ‘Trump Has Started a War on America’s Women. And He’s Going to Lose’. And more pardons for crooks coming. Trump Looking to Pardon Servicemen Accused or Convicted of War Crimes. |

The US has deployed additional warships and planes to the Gulf in recent days.Richard Cranium (© Wiggo) in charge Mr Zarif said the US president should look to history. "Iranians have stood tall for millennia while aggressors all gone... Try respect - it works!"Richard Cranium has none. |

V2.0 really wants to provoke a war and just like Bush Jr. (the father of ISIS) is providing plenty of B.S. to try and support it. The thing is that other countries are fully aware of that B.S. this time. |

v2.0 isn't a very happy chappy. Judge rules against Trump in lawsuit to block Democrats’ subpoena for financial records. Not very happy at all. Trump reacts angrily to New York Times report on Deutsche Bank transactions. But he is staying true to form on his obstruction of justice stance. Trump directs former White House counsel Don McGahn not to testify after Democrats issue subpoena. While he seems to think that the "rule of law" doesn't apply to him, he certainly doesn't like seeing Democratic candidates on his favorite television channel. The president gripes about Fox's news anchors, showing his disregard for journalism. |

v2.0 at it again. Claims judges are sworn to the president, not to the Constitution. If any he picked swore to him, they will be rooted out and sent to a cage. |

Did Rump have his mouthpiece ask for it? Subornation! https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1752-subornation-perjury https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1622 Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. If Rump asked, undeniable reason to impeach. |

The Trump Administration does not express contempt of Congress ...........it expresses contempt of CongressMEN. Nadler should be scrubbing toilets. That's two hearings now confronting an empty chair........playing to the press and ignoring The People's business. Gonna be a LOT of changes come November 2020, except in the White House.

Hey Jaundiced! I wanted to do a lengthy post of why I disagree but just can't find the time. We'll probably go into it some other day but for now it boils down to: Whoever goes into 2020 saying "the economy is booming" is going to lose the election. (Unless of course it's Trump vs Biden, then they'll both be saying it and Trump most likely wins) Just food for thought though, here's the 2016 Wisconsin Democratic primary. (This is a map of the whole State) I posted this in reply to Angela way back when :) I keep harping on it because I know it's data that is COMPLETELY counterintuitive. (and just one of many reasons I keep harping on Nate Silver) Election results by county. Bernie Sanders - GREEN Hillary Clinton - YELLOW |

It's a result of population density, and that cities are frequently populated with centrist Democrats. Probably repeated in just about every other state, and if there are any democrats in rural areas they will tend to the fringes, politically as far away from the Republicans as they can get. You could ask from this map. "How did Clinton win the popular vote?" |

...cities are frequently populated with centrist Democrats. I'm just using this snippet as a stepping stone because I already know your views on this subject, so I know we'll never be anywhere near agreement. Unfortunately this is a looong discussion and I've already tried answering a few different ways but never got through... This point of view you are parroting is highly elitist (and wrong) and you've been suckered into believing something that is against your very nature. If it's any consolation I'm sure I've been suckered by a few things too, and I'd love for someone to point them out. Anyway, to nit-pick your point above... cities are frequently populated with centrist Democrat voters. Because cities are really populated by Uber drivers and other gig economy workers with crap wages, crap benefits, sky high day-to-day expenses, not-even-funny sky high rents etc. And if someone/anyone gives those people a reason to get out and vote, that's exactly what they're gonna do. Even if it rains. And I promise you, your mate Silver will miss it... again. And like your mate Silver you are looking at that map and completely ignoring the data. Instead of being a wake-up call, you guys are doubling down and trying to make the ridiculous argument of "California Ãœber Alles". |
