Trump motormouthing on "Fox and Friends" this morning.
My notes, jotted down in real time, listening to this after posting the video:
He only got a card and flowers for Melania for her birthday, because he's very busy.
He's really changed Macron's thinking about Iran.
Iran's "little boats" are not circling our ships any more.
The subject of Ronny Jackson triggers a long rant about Democrats obstructing all his nominees.
He brings up Diamond and Silk. They're "warriors." Like the nominees Democrats obstruct.
"Doc Ronny... an incredible man... they're trying to destroy a man... I said 'welcome to the swamp'..."
Comey's "a leaker and a liar" and his "friend" is a "so-called professor"... Comey put "a lot of phony stuff" in his memos... Comey is "guilty of crimes" and "if the Justice Department was doing its job" — but it's your Justice Department! — Trump sets himself apart from it.
Trump has accomplished more in his first year than any other President (even with all this obstruction)...
Michael Cohen is just one of his many attorneys, and Cohen only covers "a tiny, tiny little fraction" of his legal work — notably "this crazy Stormy Daniels deal." When it comes to the criminal investigation of Michael CohenTrump is "not involved" and has been told he's not involved.
He gets along with Kanye. Kanye sees how low black unemployment is, and he's smart. He sees what's happening. "It's changing back" to black people going for Republicans. "You know, Lincoln was a Republican."
Shania Twain is terrific, but she shouldn't have apologized for supporting him. He likes the way Kanye is "sticking to his guns."
He'd rather face a popular vote for President than the Electoral College because "it's easier" to win. They said he couldn't win the Electoral College, that it was structured to be a big advantage to the Democrat.
"I'm not like Obama" or Kerry with the Iran deal. With North Korea, he's ready to walk out. He hasn't given up anything, but "Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd" and the "fake news" are criticizing him for giving up so much to North Korea.
The "Fox and Friends" guy sounds like he's getting exasperated.
Anderson Cooper was "surprisingly tough" on Comey.
Invited to give himself a grade on his presidency, he goes on about how he's fighting against a lot of phonies in the swamp and it's a "fix" and a "witch hunt" before giving himself an A+.

Trump's forte is not the boring, sit-down interview. His forte is tangling with someone, say, Liz Warren, and calling her, say, Pochahontas.
I am still amazed at how successful he has been considering what he has been up against.
One persons motormouthing is another persons telling it like it is.
I am listening to it now. What a tool... And the "Fox and Friends" people rival him for tooliness(Is that a word?)This is his favorite program? Figures. Give me an hour of Homeland or Billions.

Verbal diarrhea. I am frightened of his stream of consciousness.

Trump is simultaneously both his own worst and best advocate. When he speaks he seems to make people who like him like him even more, people who hate him hate him even more, and people who are indifferent to him even more indifferent to him. You know what he is. Here's more of that.
I'm beginning to get the queasy feeling that Trump can't - or won't - play hardball with Congress. The Senate Republicans are blocking his agenda and his nominees and seems unwilling to threaten them, or bribe them, into doing the right thing.
I hope he's learning the ways of DC and will change.
Please i want to know more about the electoral college.
People who hate trump, have made it clear ever since August 2015, they're not going to like him, ever, ever. No matter what he does.
So fuck 'em.
"Doc Ronny... an incredible man...
Trump's usage reminds us the first meaning of the word incredible is "not believable, dubious, doubtful, implausible, improbable, highly unlikely, far-fetched."
@Achilles sez:
"I am still amazed at how successful he has been considering what he has been up against."
Yeah, me too. In the primaries, Hillary and the Dems promoted him because they thought he would be easy to beat, while CNN and the leftwing media promoted him to get ratings.
Then, he kicked their butts, and they remain furious and unhinged about it.
Oh well, I say. #KAG
"He's really changed Macron's thinking about Iran."
One of the few refutable claims he appeared to make.
Hard to say if it's true, but Macron did seem to realize afterward that Trump was unlikely to stick with the old deal and wanted a "Trump's deal." If he gauged the strength of Trump's opposition to business as usual more accurately, I suppose that counts as a change. We'll see how it plays out.
Whether you like him or not and whether you agree with him or not, the description "motormouthing" is accurate. I don't gratuitously insult Trump like so many others. I'm stating a fact that if you like Trump you should agree with, because if you don't, you'll be dishonest and how will that help your man Trump?

Hilarious. Do you need a safe room with puppies and Play DO?
I can't watch him talk. That's not limited to him. I can't watch any politician talk.
Yes, Trump is a motormouth, at least in his public persona. Sometimes an entertaining one, but surely he has a severe case of logorrhea.
Had to laugh at Trump giving himself an A+. What else was he going to say?
@victoria: "I am frightened of his stream of consciousness."
This saddens me, that a person could be frightened by a politician who is a plain talking, shoot-from-the-hip kind of person.
When I get nervous is when I hear things like "if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance" from a glib, calculating, supercilious, narcissist kind of person.
Michael K: I can't watch him talk. That's not limited to him. I can't watch any politician talk.
Same here. There seem to be a few of us here in that category.
Thank you, Althouse, for watching and listening for us.
I'm watching now; did these toadies ask one single hard question of the President? I'd like to know and I'll probably pay more attention if anybody seriously suggests to me that there was a good question in the whole 30 minutes.
This disgraceful bit of non-journalistic cheerleading; it's the Official Morning Show of the Trump Administration. Like North Korean television interviewing Kim Jong Un.
Trump's legal team must be head-desk-head-desk-head-desk. Michael Avenatti is filing later today. Avenatti has been trying to bait him into this.
And new file from feds.
"Whatever you say on 'Fox & Friends' can be used against you in a court of law - feds cite Trump interview in new filing in Michael Cohen case https://nydn.us/2JqyLd9 @PPVSRB"
maggie haberman
"telling it like it is" is also accurate. You may not like it, but me and Trump don't care.
Trump has always been a "Motormouth" - that's why he can get up and talk to crowds for 2 hours.
Or as Comey put it in his memo: "The Conversation lasted for 1.5 hours and the President did almost all the talking".
Ann is using post titles as clickbait. Half of us read "motormouthing" as motorboating, which, if he was going to do live in a morning news format, Fox was probably the best choice.
Trump gives himself an A+ on Everything.
His braggadocio is endearing.

Cuck, you have MSNBC and CNN, can't Trump at least have one show on Fox?

Chuck is mad that the media doesn't crush the Republican and try to embarrass them every chance they get.
Just like all the other democrats.
I thought Trump came across as bombastic and diffuse, but, on the other hand, I watched the whole segment.......I did see the Comey interview last night. Comey is much more precise in his language, and he's really good at appearing sincere and earnest. The downside is that your eyes glaze over, and I switched off the interview before it was over.
I am physically repulsed by Hillary's voice. As for Mr Trump, if only he could whisper his answers to Morgan Freeman to re-word and respond.

What he has done since he won is even more impressive. Think about what he is up against:
The entire intelligence apparatus spied on him and everyone in his campaign.
They handed all of that information over to a DOJ that started an "investigation" into "collusion" by a hoard of people trying to find anything to remove him from office.
A State Department full of globalist shills.
A Congress with a republican party led by globalist shills and enough traitors to give the uniparty effective control.
A completely rogue federal judiciary.
Not only is he surviving he is thriving.
Listen faster. He talks in code but it is code based on the Media stories that we have already heard many times, so it is easy. I think of it as taking shorthand dictation at 90 words per minute.
The funniest part was watching the Fox & Friends personalities trying over and over to get a word in. They were shut out. When they tried to ask a question, DGT just talked faster about what he wanted to say.
No wonder Kanye West identifies with Trump as a fellow possessor of Dragon Energy.
The preference cascade started earlier this year. Kayne West and Kim Kardashian just jumped on it.
The bitter haters are looking worse and worse every day.
It is awesome to watch the leftists clamor for their Corporate patrons to punish their political opponents. It just shows the space between National Socialists and International Socialists is very small.

I remember when the press asked Bush if he had made a mistake. He couldn't think of one.
LLR chuck most affected.
Bush could have offered something and looked good but he has the politician gene.
Keep talking Trump.
Dragon Energy and Tiger Blood... #WINNING!
Actually, they did ask two good questions.
Together (it was almost one question) at just after the 14:00 mark; Steve Doocy asked, "Mr. President, how much of your legal work was (Cohen) handling?" Trump said, "A tiny amount," and so of course the US Attorneys in New York immediately put that into a pleading filed as today's hearing on privilege motions got started. And Ainsley Earhardt promptly asked, "[If Cohen did nothing wrong, as Trump said] Then why is he [Cohen] pleading the Fifth?"
So Trump is now on record saying Cohen is mostly a businessman, not a lawyer; Cohen did a "tiny" amount of Trump's legal work; and the federal investigation is -- according to Trump although we don't know how Trump knows this because Trump says he is not having anything to do with the investigation -- all about Cohen's private business, and has nothing to do with Trump.
Two good questions in 30 minutes. Zero hard questions in 30 minutes.
And as for my using the word "Toady" regarding Brian Kilmeade; I regret that. I regret that I can't think of a better/stronger word to describe Kilmeade's unctuousness.
Trump has always gone on Fox and Friends and run his mouth. When I had to wake at 3 a.m. I dreaded Mondays because he would come on and blah for 20 (seemed like 30) minutes. Boring bloviating New York-centric BS. (One of my pet peeves about “national” news is how seldom it gets beyond NY or DC.) It’s these Mondays that I grew to despise Trump. Only much later, in the primaries, as he began to thump “low energy Jeb” and “little Marco” did my fondness for Trump grow. When he did the entire human race a favor and kept Hillary from power I truly loved him. As his actions have achieved true conservative reforms my respect and admiration for him has grown.
I no longer watch F&F and little news at all. But I’m sure I’d hate this clip too.
@Achilles,
"Not only is he surviving he is thriving"
In an unorthodox, unexpected way, this is largely correct.
The constant 24/7 noise obscures this. And some folks have trouble discerning between unimportant stuff (tweets) and important stuff (tax cuts, reforming trade deals, etc).
If Trump continues to fight against illegal immigration and slowly re-establishes manufacturing jobs that help blue-collar workers, he will be in good shape for re-election.
Inga said...
Keep talking Trump.
I am so sorry to do this to you, Inga...
But yours is the comment of the day.
The good thing for us is that Trump is looking forward to talking with Mueller.
If DJT's speed is a problem, it does have positive benefits. The Tax Cuts are done. The military is being funded again. Kim Jong Un just totally gave up. Iran is Next. And he has never slowed down. He had to start at medium speed to test and learn who is on his side and who is on other side. But in the last 3 months his enemies have suddenly either quit, resigned, or become stunned slobbering fools.
Michael K:
"I remember when the press asked Bush if he had made a mistake. He couldn't think of one."
I wish he'd just said, "Not that I'd tell you." With a smile and a jokey tone to keep them wondering. Because as you know, they weren't asking in good faith.
Inga said...

Keep hope alive.
The fascists all have their dreams of overturning the election and disenfranchising their political opponents.
Now that Russian collusion is dead Inga thinks they can impeach Trump for paying a porn star not to talk about the sex they had.
Meanwhile you all are heading for a wipe out in 2018 when the Black people who are doing very well under Trump leave the democrat plantation. I guess they don't really want to be replaced by poor people from Mexico after all.
Chuck: And as for my using the word "Toady" regarding Brian Kilmeade; I regret that I can't think of a better/stronger word to describe Kilmeade's unctuousness.
Nice to see you extend such magnanimous praise to fellow practitioners of the obsequious arts, Chuck. It takes a master to appreciate a master.

All of the democrats are in perfect alignment. You guys are looking awful bitter over there.
You guys have any other political dissidents you want your corporate masters to suppress?
90% of the MSM Trump news is negative. He doesn't need to get "tough" questions from Fox. When does CNN give "tough questions" to Trump haters? Answer: Never
Same old liberal BS. Six liberal/left TV networks +PBS spewing Leftist crap 24/7 - but 1 network - FOX - has to ask Trump "tough questions" & be objective.
Getting inside the opponent's OODA Loop is the way that gets there first. That pushes opponents onto their heels and into confusion.
Other leadership aphorisms on speed:
Halsey:Attack, attack, attack.
Patton: L'audace, l'audace, l'audace. Attacking with a good plan now is superior to attacking with a perfect plan later on.
Forrest: winning means getting there firtest with the mostest.
"I am frightened of his stream of consciousness."
You need more experience of being frightened.
A problem of perspective due to a lack of experience.

It reminds me of the old joke about the Klansmen that capture a young black man and bury him in dirt up to his neck, then sic their dog on him. But the young black man has a thick afro and by ducking and weaving back and forth, all the dog manages to get is a mouthful of hair. The dog starts to whine, and one of the Klansmen yells, "Come on, boy, fight my dog fair!"
Yup, it's just like that.

I'm not a Democrat, and I am the farthest thing there is, from being a Kanye West fan. But it occurs to me; Democrats are being (generally; I know that there are exceptions) a lot more careful, and circumspect, and nuanced, in their criticism of Kanye West, than the Tea Party/Trump Yahoos of the Right are, with respect to genuine conservatives like Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hays, Kevin Williamson, George Will or Bill Kristol.
You in particular have called those guys every name in the book. Because they don't support Trump. Sean Hannity's complete reason for being at this point is to harangue Republicans who are insufficiently supportive of The Donald. Rush Limbaugh has been hounding "RINO's" even before there was a President Trump.
You don't frighten me; you don't concern me. I don't feel abused, or threatened. I feel no sympathy for, or solidarity with, someone like Kanye West. I just think it's funny. I honestly think the whole shitshow is funny now. I'm not a coal miner; I'm not a steelworker; I'm not a Medicaid recipient; I'm not a DACA applicant; I'm not in the 101st Airborne. I don't see how Trump can mess up my life, no matter how badly he fucks up. Others might well have good reason to feel differently. He's doing a few odd things that make me happy. Federal judges (no one has let Trump screw that up yet); federal deregulation; the Department of Education; Jeff Sessions at Justice. I'm good. I've got reason to feel good.
Yes thriving. Thriving is perfect.
than the Tea Party/Trump Yahoos of the Right are, with respect to genuine conservatives like Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hays, Kevin Williamson, George Will or Bill Kristol.
Is that the Bill Kristol who voted for Hillary ? Or the Bill Kristol who wants to run against Trump in 2020?
"I wish he'd just said, "Not that I'd tell you." With a smile and a jokey tone to keep them wondering. Because as you know, they weren't asking in good faith."
Good point. Maybe he could have said, "Appointing Bremer" which would have been true but he never would have said it.
Yours is better.
There you go Chuck.
As long as it doesn't affect you, no worries.
You have the BIIIIIIGly picture.

It is fine to say you are not a democrat. They hate you too after all. But you are doing everything you can to put them back in power.
So you are a democrat.
None of those people are genuine conservatives. They are shills paid for by the same people that own Washington DC. They say the right things every now and then. But they spend most of their time trashing people who actually do what conservative voters want. Like you do.
They are people who want democrats to win and play a part in the kabuki theater. They all voted for Hillary. They supported republicans like Bush who gave us endless wars and medicare part b. They supported republicans like Mitt Romney who gave us Obamacare.
People who want what democrats want but call themselves republicans are democrats at this point.
“He's really changed Macron's thinking about Iran."
Not according to what he said in his speech in front of Congress. Not even one tiny bit.

DC cocktail circuit "conservative"
Achilles has appointed himself Captain America of Trumpist Purity. No impure thoughts shall be tolerated. All those with wrong think will be the first to be put up against he wall when Trump appoints him General.
This is the same crack judgement that allowed Khomeini to seek exile in france.
I have been pleasantly surprised and impressed with the substantive achievements of the Trump administration, given the militant forces arrayed against him from day 1.
And, because he drives the Left batshit crazy - I've acclimated my ears to how he communicates.
But so what? I'm just one voter.
Like every President, he faces a real challenge in the midterms and a real challenge in 2020 for re-election, where the Left will be highly energized. They certainly don't want to lose two winnable elections in a row.
But, this isn't insightful. Every President gets hammered in the midterms, and every President salivates about running and winning a second term.
And life goes on.
Did Althouse really ask how falsehoods could benefit a politician?
Here's a bar for ya, Inga:
Bars are allowed to throw out Donald Trump supporters, judge rules
“We must ensure stability and respect sovereignty of the nations, including that one of Iran, which represents a great civilization. Let us not replicate past mistakes in the region. Let us not be naive on one side. Let us not create new walls ourselves on the other side. There is an existing framework called the JCPOA to control the nuclear activity of Iran. We signed it at the initiative of the United States. We signed it, both the United States and France. That is why we cannot say we should get rid of it like that.”
Emanuel Macron
Inga: "No impure thoughts shall be tolerated."
Yep.
A leftist just posted that. Just now.
Without irony.
LLR and #StrongDemDefender Chuck: "I'm not a Democrat, and I am the farthest thing there is,..."
No, actually people who say they are not democrats and then do not ever advance any lefty talking points/narratives or utilize lefty tactics are the farthest thing there is from being a democrat.
So that makes you a strong operational ally of the dems.
Labels are meaningless.
“Without irony.”
Yep.
A Trumpist just posted that. Just now.
Without irony.
Macron trusts(?) Iran and France got snookered into a shitty deal by desperate Obama and Kerry
“Macron trusts(?) Iran and France got snookered...”
And Trump got played by Macron during his State visit. All that hand holding, kissing, patting, and mutual adoration was Macron making a fool out of Trump. He saved his fire for his speech in front of Congress. It was outstanding.
Achilles said...

...They all voted for Hillary...
Jonah Goldberg did not vote for Hillary. He said he would not, and he said why not. He wrote a column about it. About not voting for Hillary, or Trump. I think he voted for McMullin.
Steve Hayes did not vote for Hillary. He too wrote a column about it. He would not vote for Hillary or Trump.
Kevin Williamson did not vote for Hillary as far as I know.
George Will renounced his Republican Party membership. He hoped for a Hillary 50-state win, for the good of the Republican Party (as it was for Will, the Republican Party would be better off with a national landslide against Trump). But he did not vote for Hillary.
Bill Kristol did not, as far as I know, vote for Hillary Clinton. He actively supported David French, and I think he voted for French.
Inga,
Macron has his own constituency to play to.
I would be very interested in how private discussions went.
But, this isn't insightful. Every President gets hammered in the midterms, and every President salivates about running and winning a second term.
The difference this time is that the left is in a civil war to keep control of the bureaucracy.
The "left" also includes GOPe swampers like Ryan and McConnell.
I don't know that Trump can pull this off but the midterms may be a sign.
NRA memberships are at an all time high and many new members are not even gun owners.
All that hand holding, kissing, patting, and mutual adoration was Macron making a fool out of Trump.
You bitch that Trump got along with Macron.
You'd bitch if Trump didn't get along with Macron.
Seems all you do is bitch.
LLR Chuck: "Jonah Goldberg did not vote for Hillary. He said he would not, and he said why not. He wrote a column about it. About not voting for Hillary, or Trump. I think he voted for McMullin."

Stop and ponder just how funny that comment is!
Mcmuffin was the designated Hillary "siphon-off" candidate that her folks set up to split the Trump vote in Utah and other states to stop Trump from gaining 270 electoral votes.
Jonah Goldberg voting for him is a classic pro-Hillary tactic.
Jonah Goldberg is also the fellow who just weeks ago tried to assert, literally, that the MSM was not pushing the collusion between Trump and Putin accusation.
And he did that on national television.
LOL
So all that 24/7/365 collusion programming you've been seeing on CNN and MSNBC and all the other lefty/LLR networks never really happened!
You are not a Democrat Chuck. It is the same ploy people like William Souter and Lindsey Graham and James Comey use. They are nominally registered as a Republican but they follow the Democratic party line slavishly and without exception.
The next time I see you attacking a Democrat will be the first.
You sir are a fraud and a Mountbatten. Your mother was a weasel and you stink of elderberries.
That was a hard hitting interview. I'm surprised they were so tough on him, but he gave as good as he got. Hang tough Mr. President of the United States of America.
Does it make me a bad person if I wish the first city hit by a nuke [if the Trump & Kim Jong Un talks fail] is Pasadena?
"George Will renounced his Republican Party membership. He hoped for a Hillary 50-state win, for the good of the Republican Party"
That is some solid LLR Chuck thinking on the part of Will.
If you really really really have the best interests of the republican party and conservative ideals at heart, the best way to ensure that is total democratic party control of the entire govt.
That's how you know who the "true conservatives" are. They are ones working hard to hand back total control to the dems.
For the "good of the republican party".
Naturally.
In the same way that the British NHS only wants what is best for Alfie Evans: death.

I know this seems clearly stated but you'll need to draw pictures for our resident dullard. She thinks that saying Macron anti-Trump speech will help Democrats.
The God Emperor has the unfortunate habit of saying what he actually thinks without coating it with politicians doublespeak.
That is what got him elected. It is what will keep him safe. He has to be himself.
As as the French boy goes he amuses the God Emperor.
He is used to gamas kissing his ass. He is neutered.
If you read the articles from the foreign press it is all about how Macron was going to get Trump to stay in the Iran deal and not put tariffs on the EU. How did that work out for Frenchie le Pew?
Next up Nurse Rachted.
They are going to give her twenty minutes. Then a luncheon. Then off to Florida for the weekend.
They should have the lunch at MacDonald's.
America first.
Field Marshall Inga: "And Trump got played by Macron during his State visit."
LOL
Why? Because Macron said the same things he has been saying since he was elected and Trump said the same things he has been saying since he was elected and none of Trumps policies changed and ....?
Brilliant analysis Inga! Not as good as your assertion that Justin Trudeau was the new leader of the free world (that one might just be the best of all), but still up there!
AJ Lynch: "Does it make me a bad person if I wish the first city hit by a nuke [if the Trump & Kim Jong Un talks fail] is Pasadena?"

Our friend Chuck tends to ignore substantive policies, and instead focuses on personalities. His list of #NeverTrumpers (Will, Goldberg, Williamson, Krystol, French) illustrates this. All talking-head conservative theoreticians - who still haven't come to terms with the Trump win.
Simple question Chuck - do you support the Trump tax cut or not?
That's an actual policy worthy of evaluation.
Macron is an ass kissing homo like most of the contestants on the Celebrity Apprentice.
He acted like a boy sidekick like Robin or Bucky Barnes.
The dude doesn't have the intestinal fortitude of a real contestant like Trace Atkins or Garey Busey.
He would have been fired in the first week.

No, dumbshit. That isn't what Will was hoping for. He never said that.
Will was hoping for a 50-state defeat, for Trump. Not for Congressional Republicans, or state Republicans.
Assuredly, Will doesn't much care for Democratic-Party federal judicial nominations, either. But he'd get them, with a Democrat in the White House. One reason why I felt compelled to vote for Trump, but Will did not.
I never said that I agreed with Will on this; indeed I clearly did not.
If you just took a deep breath before your knee-jerk attacks on me, you might fuck up less often.

Leftists are big on virtue signaling.
The right has more interest in what someone DOES.
A guy called Rush Limbaugh yesterday and said the right likes words while the left likes pictures an that is why talk radio leans right and TV leans left.
It was an interesting POV,
Will, Kristol, Goldberg, NR, et all wanted Trump to lose and tried to get a 3rd party spoiler to make sure. But they failed, they could only get Egg McMuffin, and he couldn't even carry Utah. Of course, splitting the POTUS Republican vote and attacking Trump 24/7 didn't help the down ballot races for Senate or Congress either.
POTUS Hillary would've nominated Garland, and probably the replacement for Kennedy, giving us a leftist Ginsburg/Kagan dominated SCOTUS for the next 20 years.
All those "conservatives" were OK with that.
That's why every honest person says they voted for Hillary - because that's who they wanted to win.
LLR Chuck: "Will was hoping for a 50-state defeat, for Trump. Not for Congressional Republicans, or state Republicans"
LOL
As if you could ever have one without the other happening as well.
What a fraud you are.
Fortunately, you are a very very very transparent fraud.
Operationally Pro-Dem perspective: "Will was hoping for a 50-state defeat, for Trump. Not for Congressional Republicans, or state Republicans."
Reality: rcocean: "Of course, splitting the POTUS Republican vote and attacking Trump 24/7 didn't help the down ballot races for Senate or Congress either."
LLR Chuck and Hillary hardest hit.
"True Cons" don't care who wins or loses. They're willing to give the Liberals power forever because of "Muh Principles".
So why care what they say? They're irrelevant in the real world.
#StrongDemDefender Chuck: "If you just took a deep breath before your knee-jerk attacks on me, you might fuck up less often"
You mean, like thinking Trump could win.
Well, I imagine my thinking Trump could win would be viewed as a screw up by you....and detrimental to your electoral goals and objectives.
LOL
Simple question Chuck - do you support the Trump tax cut or not?
Personally, I did not like the bill. But I am quite certain that I would have voted for it, under pressure from the Whip's office.
I did not like the fact that it was so far away from a more revenue-neutral "reform" bill. The reason that Trump liked the bill was that he could sell it to his dumb base as something as simple as big, big cuts. Trump thought that the problem with tax legislation is that something as nuanced as "tax reform" could never get the needed votes and support. As usual, Trump wanted the simplistic solution.
And as usual, Trump stomped all over his campaign promises. Trump promised a tax plan where the wealthy like him would pay more. He said so repeatedly. As the bill was being negotiated, Trump said that the bill being planned would "cost [him] a fortune." And that was a lie, in light of what was finally passed.
This was Trump in Florida not too long ago; if you can understand him:
So I met with the politicians. And you know, I’ve only been doing this for like two-and-a-half years. So I said, “What’s the problem? How can you not get tax cuts?” They said, “Well, we don’t call it tax cuts. We call it tax reform.” I said, that’s your problem. Tax reform doesn’t work because we do have tax reform, but people don’t understand that, you know, what we’re doing is cutting taxes. We’re also reforming, but that could be an increase in taxes. We’re cutting taxes.
Drago: I was hoping a direct hit on Vicky from Pasadena.
LLR and #StrongCNNDefender Chuck: "The reason that Trump liked the bill was that he could sell it to his dumb base as something as simple as big, big cuts."
LOL
Maddow could not have said it better.
Sometimes I wonder if LLR Chuck is moonlighting as an oppo researcher for Media Matters.
Words yet to be written by LLR Chuck: dumb democrat base
And never will.
For obvious reasons.
Feel free to draw inescapable conclusions.
I wonder what Hillary specifically promised McMuffin had McMuffin's li'l LLR Chuck ploy had been successful?
Actually, that was unfair to McMuffin. Calling it a "LLR Chuck" ploy cheapens it a great deal.
I take it back.
LOL
George Will, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, and Chuck wanted a Republican Congress...that would do nothing.
They had that Congress. They did nothing. They are a total failure. They had globalist toadies Ryan and McConnell in charge and they did their job. They frustrated President Trumps agenda. They held back his nominees to protect the sinecure of the swamp creatures. They are hoping that the Democrats take over Congress so Trump will be stymied. In the hope that he will decide to not run again.
Ryan was successful in his goals. Now he is going to retire to make millions from the lobbyists.
The Republican party is the problem. We need a new nationalist party. Or we need to purge the Quislings like Chuck. That is the only way we can have real change.
The reason that Trump liked the bill was that he could sell it to his dumb base as something as simple as big, big cuts.
Chuck, you really make me wonder. The state and property tax caps are going to pinch the rich hard.
The people who voted for Trump are already seeing more money each month.
Your Pelosi imitation is quite good.
Aside from his modus operandi, I am fairly satisfied with Trump's platform and efforts. I am very disenchanted with the Repub establishment - they really are against big changes and are happy to wallow in the swamp.
Form is more important than substance for the Quisling Republicans. Every Trump nominee should have been pushed through on a party line vote using the nuclear option.
The time for dealing with these traitors is over.
I really like the idea of the NRA forming a new party. Maybe the "American Party."

Does it make me a bad person if I wish the first city hit by a nuke [if the Trump & Kim Jong Un talks fail] is Pasadena?

To Inga and others who are sure that France/Macron have all the answers regarding military matters like Iran, a little history.
The Maginot Line:"French military experts extolled the Line as a work of genius that would deter German aggression, because it would slow an invasion force long enough for French forces to mobilize and counterattack." (Wikipedia)
In the event it took the Germans one month (one month!!!) to run the French Government out of Paris in May -June 1941.
Yet you want to entrust your childrens' lives to the French. No thanks.
It was my understanding that Macron wanted to keep the Iran nuclear deal in place but was in favor of amending it to deal with missiles, military bases and tougher inspections. I think Trump would agree to this if he thought there was a chance if it happening. Did I miss something in Macron's speech?
I'm amused by by the way he handles both his supporters and detractors. "Watch my left hand. Watch it closely. And presto digito! There's a rabbit in my right hand!" The Trump Show. The Greatest Show on Earth.
Balloon-Juice hit the nail on the head this morning. Trump's latest fiasco resulted from watching CNN's Town Hall starring Jim Comey last night. In a short version Comey described Donald's leadership style thus:
“I saw Presidents (George W.) Bush and (Barack) Obama both use humor effectively to relax, to put at ease, to try and get to the truth. I never saw President Trump laugh even in an almost hour-and-a-half hour long private dinner,”...
“His only reference point is internal — ‘what will bring me what I need, what will fill this hole in me — get me the affirmation I crave’ — that is deeply concerning ...
Balloon-Juice noted a ring of truth: "... what Comey is describing is the behavior of a malignant narcissist. Actually, everything Comey says strikes me as the truth as he understands it — mendaciousness isn’t Comey’s sin; hubris is."
"I had mostly negative feelings about Comey’s book tour, but if it rattles Trump this badly, maybe it’s a good thing."
“Yet you want to entrust your childrens' lives to the French. No thanks.”
Trump sure did love the way the French put on a military parade though, so much so that he wants to emulate them.
“I think a tremendous thing for France and for the spirit of France and people don’t know what great warriors they are in France, but when you see that and you see all the victories, it was a tremendous thing.”
Donald Trump
"This disgraceful bit of non-journalistic cheerleading; it's the Official Morning Show of the Trump Administration. Like North Korean television interviewing Kim Jong Un."
Only Chuckles can keep it in the proper perspective.
I agree with that cuck from South Carolina. If the client is innocent, he should act like it!
The cartoonist will be along shortly to translate for the Master Persuader. The Fifth Avenue Trumplicans will hang on every word.
In today's Stephens column in NYT an interesting link to a 2016 article in Telegraph beginning thus:
By Andrew Roberts 11:00AM GMT 31 Jan 2016
The only time I met Donald Trump told me all I needed to know. It was at an American Red Cross dinner-dance to raise money to fight cancer, held at his opulent Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach a few years ago. It was of course extremely generous of him to lay on the place gratis for the night – there was a synchronized swimming display in the swimming pool, I remember – and the evening did indeed raise over $5 million, but in personally deciding the placement for the dinner he did something so unforgivable that the real man was exposed in all his egotistical vulgarity.
He sat his wife at the same table as a lady – and I must be careful here – who several of his friends present strongly believed to be his mistress. The rest of us at the table were dumbfounded and embarrassed; Trump himself obviously found it amusing as he ruined the evening for both pneumatic and almost identical women. The obscene self-regard of the man was laid bare for us all.
Ainsley Earnshard sits stone-faced through the whole interview, then Trump plugs her book at the end, and she is all smiles. The man does know what he is doing.
Sorry, it was May -June 1940 - one month nonetheless. While I am at it another example of modern French military genius: the French were "convinced " (see note below) that the Ardennes Forest was impenetrable to tanks in 1940 thus leaving it weakly fortified. Where, students, do you think the Germans made their main attack? Bueller, that is absolutely correct: the Ardennes Forest!
An important addition to the above is that the French ran war games in the late 30's that showed an attack by Germany through the Ardennes would crush the French army. Being military genii they did nothing about it - other than keep it secret.
Today we will discuss the significance of Dien Bien Phu to France's military history. Inga?
@ Inga, Well the French and the Brits are really good at military parades anyone will admit that. The Brits have mostly Victory parades the French not so much. Of course we know that the Brits win because they do a better parade.
So Trump spreads a little complimentary bullshit when he is a guest in their country and that makes you want to entrust your children's lives to the French. You need to study your French history a bit.
“Today we will discuss the significance of Dien Bien Phu to France's military history. Inga?”
Discuss it with Trump.
“I think a tremendous thing for France and for the spirit of France and people don’t know what great warriors they are in France, but when you see that and you see all the victories, it was a tremendous thing.”
Donald Trump
Me: Simple question Chuck - do you support the Trump tax cut or not?
Chuck: "Personally, I did not like the bill. But I am quite certain that I would have voted for it, under pressure from the Whip's office"[Extensive musings about Trump deleted as obiter dicta]
Thanks for your answer, but that doesn't sound very conservative, Chuck.
Next question:
Do you generally support the confirmation of the several federal judges nominated by Trump, including Gorsuch? Many are from the ranks of the Federalist Society.
“You need to study your French history a bit.”
I didn’t opine on the French military. Go bother Trump.
I see the problem.
Field Marshall Inga mistakes actual military history with military parades.
That explains so very very much.
"Balloon-Juice noted a ring of truth: "...

Balloon juice, a hard leftist site has a"ring of truth" to him.
Unexpectedly, LLR Chuck attacks the republicans Tax Bill....which just so happens, coincidentally, to align PERFECTLY with Nancy Pelosi's attack against the republicans tax bill.
Who could have possibly seen LLR Chucks latest pro-dem attack coming?
We are literally weeks away from LLR Chuck calling the tax bill benefits "crumbs".
Of course Inga has no time for the French.
As a Nazi from a Nazi family she has no time for the Frenchies.
I look forward to her in depth analysis of the Boche when Herr Merkel comes to town. At least she knows something about the Germans since the Austrians were ever their slavering lapdogs.
“Field Marshall Inga mistakes actual military history with military parades.”
Um, no. That would be your buddy Trump.
“It was one of the greatest parades I’ve ever seen. I think a tremendous thing for France and for the spirit of France and people don’t know what great warriors they are in France, but when you see that and you see all the victories, it was a tremendous thing.”

Please Vicky, never leave Pasadena.
Being a white supremacist, nationalist, neo Nazi, moron, Langford Peel holds a special place in his heart for the Nazis. I look forward to he sharing his moving experience holding that tiki torch in one hand and the Swastika flag in the other when he was in Charlottesville.
I am not a Nazi Inga.
That would be your Dad when he fled Germany after serving as a concentration camp guard.
I am a white supremacist and a nationalist. Which is the only thing a sensible white person can be in this day and age.
It becomes clearer and clearer every day.
The new NRA party will be home to me and millions of white working class men that you and the Republicans like Chuck and Kevin Williamson and the Democrats like Hillary and Keith Ellison want to destroy.
We need a party to stand up for us. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will.
The white working class has just as much right to be a protected class as the Negros and the Mexicans and the homos.
Get used to it. Trump is just the beginning.
“I am not a Nazi Inga.”
Prove it.
“I am a white supremacist and a nationalist. Which is the only thing a sensible white person can be in this day and age.”
In other words, he’s a Nazi.
“We need a party to stand up for us. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will.
The white working class has just as much right to be a protected class as the Negros and the Mexicans and the homos.”
Whiny little Nazi bitch. Don’t burn yourself up with that tiki torch.

Inga is sure that anyone who disagrees with her is a Nazi.
Way to convince new recruits, Inga.
Whiny little Nazi bitch.
Then in the next breath, she'll complain about the tone and tenor of other commenters.
But gawd help us all if we point out she contradicts herself every fucking day.
Nazi Langford Peel said...
“As a Nazi from a Nazi family she has no time for the Frenchies.”
Poor dear old Michael K says...
“Inga is sure that anyone who disagrees with her is a Nazi.

So I’m not supposed to respond the Langford calling me and my family Nazi’s? He was clearly projecting, then he goes on to self identify as a white nationalist, lol. And I’m not here to recruit people, that would be your compatriot, Langford Peel.
Inga: "Um, no. That would be your buddy Trump.

Donald Trump"
Your own quote disproves your point.
Again.
LOL
Note: there are no "victories" associated with parades, yet Trump references "parades" in the quote you helpfully provided.
Thanks for playing. Now, don't you have some more highly decorated US military members to call traitors without any evidence whatsoever?
You've been doing that a lot lately...
Next question:
Do you generally support the confirmation of the several federal judges nominated by Trump, including Gorsuch? Many are from the ranks of the Federalist Society.
Absolutely. Enthusiastically. This is a funny thing; Trump is so dense about legal matters, and so unencumbered by having to pay back political favors from a life in politics that Trump never experienced, I actually think that apart from the possibility of a President Ted Cruz, the Trump nominations are better than any other Republican candidate from 2016.
Of course, Trump's judicial selections are straight out of the Federalist Society playbook as you rightly note. Which thrills me. Trump was a perfect clean slate on which the Federalist Society could write the next four years of federal nominations.
Thanks for asking that one!
Another Inga/Chuck thread. What a waste of electrons.
@walter:
Macron trusts(?) Iran and France got snookered into a shitty deal by desperate Obama and Kerry
What exactly is shitty about it?
While President Trump was "motormouthing", Mike Pompeo was getting confirmed as Secretary of State and Richard Grenell was confirmed as the first openly gay U.S. Ambassador to Germany. In addition, Kyle Duncan, the lawyer who won the Hobby Lobby case at SCOTUS was confirmed as a judge with the 5th Circuit.
A+ indeed.
>>Another Inga/Chuck thread. What a waste of electrons.
I agree completely. Ann is correct that all the back forth name calling isn't adding anything to her blog.
One of the reasons I started coming here was that the comments were much much more intelligent than most other political sites.
It's still better here than other places, but much worse than it was...
For a propaganda broadcast, I suppose this one served its purpose: To convince the 20% of the public who find anything redeeming in this display of mutual narcissism in any way redeeming of their extraordinarily narrow and limited sense of nationalistic patriotism.
How anyone can watch 30 minutes of this crap is beyond me.
I think the blonde guy was salivating.
@Chuck,
Ok, I think we've made laborious progress.
You think Trump has done an excellent job on Judges. We will now declare victory on this detente, go home, and drink heavily.
“Ann is correct that all the back forth name calling isn't adding anything to her blog.

FYI.
One thing that’s not going to happen, commenters will not get excused for attacking my family out of the blue, the way Langford Peel did to myself and my family, calling them Nazi’s because I was born in Austria. My family were refugees from Eastern Europe, not Germany. My family hadn’t been in Germany since 1720 and had never set foot in Austria.
Now, Dan the Man, if it’s OK for Langford Peel to call your father, yourself and your family Nazi’s, then that’s your decision, it’s not OK with me.
“It's still better here than other places, but much worse than it was...”
And what drags down Althouse’s blog is commenters like Drago, Full Moon, Langford Peel and Achilles, Franciso D, not liberal commenters who dare to defend themselves and their families. Making excuses for these creeps make you complicit.

We gave Iran billions of dollars in exchange for them pinky swearing they wouldn't develop nukes.
And no inspections. Ever. Because we can totally trust the mullahs.
It is funny how you people totally love the Clinton/Bush/Obama approach that worked so well with North Korea.
You have to be absolutely stupid to think that was a good deal. We have watched this play out once before in almost exactly the same situation. The only thing that makes sense is you people want Iran to get nukes and you want them to trigger a nuclear holocaust in the region.

He can call them Martians, or cannibals, or baby seal clubbers for all I care. I don't care if some anonymous person on the internet insults me.
It's the back and forth between a few select contributors, and I include you in that group, that goes on and on and on and on and.....
I suspect a large majority of those who read this blog find that uninformative, uninteresting, and unrewarding.
In short, the complete opposite of why I read Ann's blog.

Ah yes. Inga who has called every republican president since Nixon Hitler Nazi Fascist Racist Bigot and has spent years calling her political opponents every vile name in the lexicon speaks.
The Stalinist bitch who thinks impeaching Trump and disenfranchising his supporters over any possible thing with no evidence of any actual crime is ok.
The complete moral ingrate who cheered when Scalise was shot because he was a member of the NRA. Who called NRA members child murderers and said we had blood on our hands after the Florida school shooting.
The Nazi who wants giant corporations like Youtube and Facebook to shut down her political opponents and wants corporate sponsors to drive opposing viewpoints out of the realm of discussion.
You are "just defending yourself." For the last several decade calling everyone you hate a nazi racist. You do not deserve the freedom better people gave you.
“He can call them Martians, or cannibals, or baby seal clubbers for all I care. I don't care if some anonymous person on the internet insults me.”
I don’t believe this for a minute.
“I suspect a large majority of those who read this blog find that uninformative, uninteresting, and unrewarding. In short, the complete opposite of why I read Ann's blog.”
Exactly how I feel when dealing with commenters like the ones I named. I’m here to express an opinion on the the blogpost that Althouse has provided, not to have to continually defend my family from scurrilous attacks.
Ah yes. Inga who has called every republican president since Nixon Hitler Nazi Fascist Racist Bigot and has spent years calling her political opponents every vile name in the lexicon speaks.
So what. You call everyone who's not a Republican a Stalinist.
Oh. Look! Next sentence:

That train's right on time!
I forgot to add that Inga was happy when Trump's Chicago appearance was shut down because of DNC funded leftist threats of violence.
And was ecstatic when Democrat funded thugs in several locations attacked Trump supporters at their rallies while democrat mayors told city police to stand down.
You do not deserve the freedom better people gave you.
She doesn't have to "deserve" it. She was born with it. Like we all were.
Duh.
Stop flattering yourself. Or are you out to go all neocon on us and tell everyone that you kept us free from Saddam Hussein or whatever he did to the Kuwaitis and other non-Americans?
It’s sounding like a meeting of white nationalists here in these comments sections, more and more everyday. I predict we’ll be reading about America’s most notorious domestic terrorist, aka Achilles from the Althouse blog, within the next few years. He is one that already teeters on the edge, when all the “Democratic arrests” don’t happen, he’ll go over that edge. Mark my words.
Aw! TTR has made another name for itself. How cute and tiresome, but mainly tiresome.
Aw! TTR has made another name for itself. How cute and tiresome, but mainly tiresome.

Lol.
I sort of wonder if we make the Inga-bot divide by zero if it will meltdown.
On the other hand I think you are actually sincere. But really stupid.
Why don't you respond to what I say, rather than to what you think of who I am? Or is your personality too weak to defend/attack/think about message and goes right to messenger instead?
Hey Ritmo Brasilifascist, can you make a single substantive point? Or does your coding prevent that option?
White nationalists built this country. White nationalists are it's only hope.
If you go a different way you get Detroit. Baltimore. Zimbabwe. Soon South Africa. Mexico. Irag. Afghanistan.
You can bow dow to political correctness all you want but without White Nationalist Scotch Irish men this country would not exist.
...can you make a single substantive point?
Many. But for Cliff Clavin Birkels like you it's enough to just point out how weak a personality you must have to have allowed this 30 minute paid advertisement fill you with national pride for your authoritarian father figure.
“White nationalists built this country. White nationalists are it's only hope.”
Right on cue.
You can bow dow to political correctness all you want but without White Nationalist Scotch Irish men this country would not exist.
Especially given the number of African men and women they enslaved and savagely beat to do the building for them.

See. Political opponents are crazy. They should just lock me up now. I will go over the edge. Blah blah blah.
You have been acting like the definition of a stalinist for years.
I love the white nationalist attack too. You always trot out the racism line when you can't hang with people smarter than you.
I have a naturalized wife who is not white and two mixed race kids. I am celebrating Kayne West's efforts to free Black people from democrat malfeasance. I will be pleased as punch when 20-40% of the Black Working class who are thriving right now and escaping democrat ghettos join the republican party.
The media didn't just promote Trump for ratings. They did it because Clinton encouraged them to do so, and they're reliable allies.
That was a terrible mistake.
They should never have brought African men and women here.
We should have stuck with mules and oxen. They don't get uppity and ideas above their station.
For instance you never see a mule take a knee.
The biggest mistake that America has ever made was importing the problem. We need to not repeat that mistake by importing more mistakes from Mexico and the Middle East. Diversity leads to disaster.
You see it every day.

You just post garbage.
Professor, in recognition of your commenter's insightful and wise political analyses, your blog has been assigned more trolls. Congratulations are in order, for your blog is expanding their employment opportunities.
So, you're pro-slavery or not, Langford? It did build this country an awful lot wealth, remember. And what's a Republican good for if he's not sticking up for a richer person's wealth?
Hey Langford Peel, be honest, what do you think about the Jews and Muslims? You’ve mentioned Mexicans, Negros, and “homos”.
Because you don't say anything. Your posts are utter drivel.
I actually say a lot.
You just get confused by my picture.
Republicans are highly visual creatures. Not too good with reading, though!
You can never win when you take the easy way out.
Cheap labor destoys you every time. Slavery is not a viable option if you want to build a successful nation. That is why ISIS will never be more than a passing fad.
You need solid yeoman to build a coherent society. Where people can a find a place to flourish.

Democrats brought them here and savagely beat them.
They were freed by republicans.
Democrats instituted Jim Crow.
Republicans forced JBJ to end segregation. It would have ended 5 years sooner if Nixon had beaten JFK.
Now democrats stick kids in shitty public schools and used planned parenthood to practice eugenics. They turn black communities into crime ridden ghettos and have purposely destroyed the black family.
Leftists never change tactics. Just the names.
Inga: "...what do you think about the Jews and Muslims?"
That's a good question.
Let's take a look at how the muslims are treating the jews in Europe:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/30/opinion/jews-murder-paris-knoll.html
https://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Antisemitic-attacks-across-London-designed-to-instill-fear-says-Jewish-group-479335
Yikes.
Those muslims are really going after the jews.
Is that why Inga wants the islamists to emigrate to the US in such large numbers?
“Democrats brought them here and savagely beat them.”
Slaves were brought to the Americas more than 100 years before the Revolutionary war.
I see Ritmo woke up.
Between him and Inga this thread is dead.
You need your Jews. In fact Orthodox Jews are an important part of the White Nationalist coalition. We support Israel to the hilt and the designation of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish nation. Without Jews in Israel there will never be a Rapture. Everybody knows this.
Besides ecause we need someone to do our taxes. As the God Emperor says call in the little guys with the yarmulke's. They are important to our success.
Muslims are cockroachs. You can't have a healthy society with a large Muslim population. Just look at the world around you. Who has a preponderance of Muzzies and a healthy prosperous society? Iraq? Bangladesh? England?
Your world is so much better off if there are no Muslims clipping off babies clits or ritually murdering women. It is just a fact.
“Inga: "...what do you think about the Jews and Muslims?"
That's a good question.”
I was asking your buddy Langford Peel, not you, motormouth.
TTR,
Nothing of substance from you, yet. I am patient.
“You need your Jews.”
Last I heard Jews were free people, they’re not yours or mine. What an ignorant comment.
Royal ass Inga is bad at math and knows little of the history of the colonies. Still she is correct that it was the lineal forebears of Democrats who brought slaves to the U.S.
Jews are not free.
You always have to pay when you deal with them.
Have you ever met one?
Gee wiz you are dense.
“Jews are not free.
You always have to pay when you deal with them.
Have you ever met one?”
Ah, there’s the antisemitism I knew was buried under the surface. So nice to see you reveal yourself to the Althouse readers and commenters.
I almost think Langford Peel is a Moby. Reminds me of Alex.
Democrats brought them here and savagely beat them.
I think business owners brought them here, actually. Are you saying that, as with oil companies today, the economic benefit wasn't what motivated the business practice of having a free-laboring slave work your fields instead of someone you had to pay? Which would you choose?
Jefferson owned slaves - a Democratic-Republican.
So did Madison. He was also a Democratic-Republican.
Quincy Adams did not - but he was also a Democratic-Republican.
Washington owned slaves - unaffiliated.
As did many people, those belonging to political parties and those who did not. Whereas the "big government" party of the day, the Federalists, hosted Hamilton and Adams and others who did not own slaves. Why would it... it was a northern party and slavery was a regional phenomenon moreso than a political one. Looks like your understanding of American political history is really shitty.
They were freed by republicans.
Who used the power of government to promote a fair wage. Are you saying you're now for the power of government to promote a fair wage?
Gosh, I sure hope so. That would be long overdue.

Ever.

It seems to be working.
Soon she will be breaking out her imaginary children.
I bet one of them is a Jewish war hero.
America’s most notorious domestic terrorist... mark my words. It’s only s matter of time. His name will be splattered all over the news one day. We’ll be reading comments of his, from these very comments sections, being quoted in the news.

Inga wants Israel to be wiped out by Muslims and cheers as Muslims attack Jews all across Europe. She is so impressed by Muslim immigration to to Europe she wants to bring them here in mass too.
Inga will never call any muslim anti-semitic.
Langford wants to leave anti-semitism to the white nationalists. They're so much more advanced at it.
If he has any thoughts about Israel they're probably to do with using them to fight our proxy wars or as a sacrificial lamb in the apocalypse foretold in the Book of Revelation.
And while Achilles has become notorious, Langford Peel will still be marching around statues of Southern heros with torch in hand, singing the Horst Wessel song off key.
langford longs for the good old days when anti-semitism was respectable among Christians and Muslims had no national aspirations or developmental aims at all.
Nowadays those roles are reversed.
Since Inga is still hanging around I will leave her this quote from Macron regarding the Iran agreement “We want sustainable stability and I believe that the discussions we’ve had together make it possible to open the way, to pave the way, for a new agreement,” Mr. Macron said Tuesday, (WSJ) . So apparently Macron agrees with Trump that a "new agreement" needs to be negotiated.
What a disaster area.
I hope Meade is getting the Ban hammer out.
So is wise guy Achilles going to respond to the 6:54 comment that so astutely demonstrates the history of the Democratic-Republican and Federalist parties in kowtowing to slavery prior to the Civil War or is he just going to ignorantly pretend it didn't exist so that he can transplant 2018 politics onto an 1776 - 1860 timeline?
Where's all that substance of his? Apparently he's got a really substantive understanding of American political history! Let's hear it!
I mean, it's not like he can just do weed and anabolic steroid injections all day and come up with something that will leave others taking him seriously, can he?
Well, he thinks he can. But then, he also entertains thoughts of carrying out acts of domestic terrorism when he gets bored.
That's Achilles for you.
Jonah Goldberg did not vote for Hillary. He said he would not,
I am so tired of calling out this disingenuous bullshit.
Not Voting for either the Dem/Rep. is the same as voting for the other party. Didn't vote for Trump? You Just supported the Dem candidate. You can dress up that pig anyway that gets you to sleep at night, but your vote supported Clinton's wife.
"langford longs for the good old days when anti-semitism was respectable among Christians and Muslims had no national aspirations or developmental aims at all. "
No-one "longs" for those days because they never really left. Its been the same old thing for 1400 years. Just the details, locations, weapons change, not the fundamentals. And its not just Christians. Hindus and Buddhists and Jews and atheistic communists all have the same problems with Muslims. And, especially, Muslims have problems with Muslims.
These fights are so old that archaeologists specialize in artifacts of that conflict, which is still ongoing.
Fort Pilar
This, the Real Fuerza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza, was built in 1635.
It is the typical bastioned fortress of the 17th century, but even in its day it was rather simple, lacking a glacis, ditch and counterscarp, because it was intended to fight off the Muslims, who lacked siege artillery. It survived numerous Muslim attacks over the centuries, and the Dutch and British also.
The last major Muslim attack on Zamboanga - the sort of thing Fort Pilar was built to defend against, was by about 500 men in September 2013.
Zamboanga is by all accounts a nice place (I have never been), but the odds of a foreigner, or anyone worth holding for ransom, being kidnapped (by Muslims) makes it a no-go area for most.
Now now Pee Pee don't be silly. You always need your Jews. You need your Pawn Brokers, diamond dealers and usursers to have a functioning society.
In fact I grant you if you really need tap dancers and basketball players you might find some utility in having the odd Negro. Still I think we could do without just fine and have a much more coherent and much safer society.
Sure we will miss the pancakes and converted rice but there is always French Toast and mashed potatoes.
And to expand, the "bloody borders" thing is real as death.
India-Pakistan 2016-2017
It never ends. Even if the border is quiet for a decade somewhere (anywhere along the "bloody borders"), the whole thing can start up again with no notice and for no apparent reason.
