Is his hand size and clapping frequency going to be the thing that finally brings Trump down? Or is it just more media crap thrown at the wall to see if something will ever stick to it?

Possible, one radio presenter here keeps pointing out how little his hands are.

Everything else about Trump? Agreed. But there has to be better things we can do with our next three years.

Face it August, Trump is poison and will never get treated any better. Sure, much of what has come down is petty, but he has no clue how to rise above the muck and even helps to pile it up. A failure right out of the box who has no business being in office. I hope we survive it.

You know I didn't vote for the guy, I voted for the pothead Johnson hoping that the Berniebots would unite to take our states 11 electoral votes away from Clinton (didn't work

) but I would have voted for anybody running against that crook, including Trump. Whatever problems we have with him they are nothing to the pure evil that letting the Clintons back into the White House would have caused the nation.

Trump in spite of his personal flaws continues to piss off all the right people. As long as he does that i'm inclined to ignore the the medias latest tempest in a teapot.

I was so busy watching the Thursday night football game between Oakland and KC (Raiders won 31-30 on the last play)
that I didn't notice that the US Senate actually got something done.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...reform-n812471

Quote:

The Senate on Thursday passed a Republican budget resolution that would pave the way to use a special procedural rule to consider tax reform later this year.

The $4 trillion budget blueprint passed 51-49, with all Democrats and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voting against it.

It sets the stage for debate later this year to dramatically overhaul the U.S. tax code, cutting rates for individuals and corporations while clearing away trillions of dollars' worth of deductions and special-interest tax breaks.

What has Trump done in these 10 months anyway? He is in the news every week of having done something, usually judged as doing something wrong?

No health care bill and no new tax relief till next year?

Why is he always looking so silly on stupid stuff from his non charity golf events to men taking a knee in the NFL to calling a widow and talking about her guy?

I can't figure him out ... will it get better or will it get worse?

America survives Trump. Just takes time to get all those EPA regs back in and build back the respect of other countries.

And people thought Obamas apology tour was something...perhaps the US can use NASA to write "We're really sorry" on the moon?

See, I never understood what was so bad that. He showed some humility, so what?

This.

I did not understand either, until i read the hidden section of a certain US military simulation forum. I still do not understand the mindset, but one thing became clear:

1. Obama is the Antichrist. He is regarded as a denigrator of his country. It has nothing to do with law or ethics, you never criticize your own.
2. The political right and most of the brass does not like to admit errors or admit violating international law, let alone saying sorry for it.

After all all the islamic states who said you could not believe Obama and the US apologizing and calling a spade a spade, were right. It was only a short interval.

Throughout the evening the News here have shown Bush sr and Obama attacking Trump in strong words.

This made me wonder and thinking-I'm going to ask my Americans friends

If Bush sr and Obama was much better ?

Can they point finger at Trump ?

If the media were to start mentioning my observation I got my 15 seconds of fame.

If they did you will know they are running out of steam.

Ok to whom shall we send our apologies too? The Kenyans which suffered under British rule or the several hundred defectors sent back to Soviet Russia by Urho Kekkonen?

Maybe we can hold out long enough and people will simply forget.
