Volourn Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 "For me its not enough for Trump to make vague general apologies for " using the wrong words ". He needs to give specific examples where he feels he has offended people or the " apology " means nothing 8)" Typical SJW Nazi. Nothing pleases you. It's why I believe we should NEVER apologize to any terrorist because it is never enough. "GD you should also consider the fact Obama is on a 50-55 % overall approval rating, this is much higher than Bush was at the same time of his second term So people would be more critical of Bush, he was more disliked ?" So you admit bias amongst the media right? they like Obama more so they won't criticize him as much even when he deserves it. I guess that is why he gets away with his blatant racism and anti cop stance. "Speaking of news organizations hiring violent racists: " Al Sharpton has always been a piece of crap racist scumbag. It is too basd that his racism is largely directed at blacks because him and his ilk (Hillary) love keeping blacks as low as possible. It is the only reason they have power - meanwhile other minorities like Asians thrive in the US. go figure. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Meshugger Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I find it interesting that as floods do billions in damage in Louisiana the President is on vacation playing golf at Martha's Vineyard and has had little to say and hasn't troubled himself to visit. Of course, what could he do there? Is he going to drive a boat or pick up a bucket to bail water? So the media has been silent about the fact that this disaster seems beneath his notice. Of course I recall another time that flood waters did billions in damage in Louisiana and a different President was on vacation at his home in Texas and the media was not nearly so understanding. In fact they excoriated him for the remainder of his days in office and for years after in fact. What is the difference? That one had an R after his name. This one has a D. Obama was asked by the Governor of Louisiana not to come because of potential for distraction of rescue efforts and advised Trump to not come if he is using the visit as a photo op and for political gain. So of course, Trump is using it for political gain. Meanwhile, Obama is getting regular briefings and communicating via modern telecommunication technologies. ...and now he is going. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/19/politics/obama-to-visit-baton-rouge-next-week/index.html No one knows what's really going on anymore.

Volourn Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I thought the outcry was silly for Bush and this is silly too. Whata re they going to do? The gov't and its response is bigger than oen person. besdies, the State should handle in state issues. Prez should be dealing with multi state issues or out of country stuff. But, yeah, as per usual, the whining is on party lines. Typical politics. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(image) misunderstanding. ain't the number but the manner in which such has been used. obama has frequent used executive orders to circumvent Congress. is not the number o' orders that makes folks cry foul but rather the belief that obama has far exceeded the limits o' executive authority as granted to him by the Constitution. admittedly, in the last couple decades, Congress has become willful impotent. folks on the Hill is purposeful not doing their jobs. is less risky to do nothing and let courts and the executive fulfill the role that once were within the zone o' influence o' the legislative branch. obama's executive orders arguable has exceeded Constitutional limits, but Congressional incompetence has created a power vacuum that were gonna naturally be filled by either the States or the POTUS. what obama has done with executive orders is, all too often, unconstitutional. is not quantity but quality. the thing is, obama were only in a position to misuse executive orders to the degree he has 'cause o' long-term, unchecked, Congressional futility.

HA! Good Fun! Congressional deadlock is not a bad thing sometimes. As you mentioned a few pages ago, one might say the government is the people (not a notion I buy 100%). The House of Representatives even more so than the Senate, Executive, or Court. When the Republicans became the majority in 2010 they did so with the promise to rein in the President. By not passing his agenda they are doing exactly that. It isn't futility then, it's the will of the people. The President should not take Congressional intransigence as license to do whatever the hell he pleases with executive orders. Now if you meant Congressional futility was them rolling over on their backs and letting the last two Presidents use executive orders to usurp their power then I'd agree. Congress should have hauled him up short several times, not waited for the court to do it two times. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 You know term limits might go a long way towards Congress behaving the way Congress should. When legislators can't see past the next election it makes them far less likely to do what must be done even if it's unpleasant. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) "Trump's change of heart on amnestyIs sure to be a hitFrom border wall to open doorWatch Coulter lose her s***" Courtesy of Rick Wilson. Edited August 21, 2016 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-campaign-manager-kellyanne-conway-advises-authentic/story?id=41483593 Again some irony around the Trump campaign, his entire campaign until a week ago had some of the worst polling data any candidate could ask for. This is partly a direct result of his misplaced " I tell it how it is " and " I dont believe in being PC .....that is for the weak and craven. I am Trump...I dont need to be PC " I have heard for months from some Trump supporters how Trumps way is the best way but we have seen several influence Trump inner circle members resign or get fired, people like Corey Lewandowski and Paul Manafort and the person now brought in as the public face of the Trump campaign....a women, Kellyanne Conway Of course this is the right decision and the best way to attempt to salvage Trumps image, just the suggestion that a group of alpha male men could be the best face of the Trump campaign was ridiculous to begin with. I watched her on CNN today, she is obviously good but I think its too late to change most peoples views on Trump But this development raises a more important question , are the days of Trumps " I dont believe in PC " over ? Because Kellyanne is all about PC. I hope its over, the suggestion that being PC is somehow wrong always use to surprise me and it definitely hasnt helped the Trump campaign at this stage "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
