This is due to an already planned increase in production: Trump says he’s “fixed” F-35 program after less than month in office.

Raithe Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 And what's the news about Trump calling Putin, and the White House recordings being turned off so there is no official record of the exchange? Or is that just something taken out of context? "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I havent seen that story yet. Is there some little button Trump can push to turn that on/off?

Gfted1 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Interesting. In my mind, the White House "communicatin room" (the center that would control and monitor all incoming and outgoing communications of any kind) would have to had to been in on it. I cant imagine thats something a president can turn on and off at will. But maybe they can?

Guard Dog Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Guys this is huge news and a very interesting development, a federal judge has temporarily halted the Muslim travel ban "Federal Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee who presides in Washington state, temporarily stopped the order" http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38864253 http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/federal-judge-temporarily-halts-trump-travel-ban-nationwide-ag-says/ I notice how you pointed out that the judge was a Bush appointee. That is not supposed to matter. As Gromnir put it earlier, a judge is a judge first. If they law is not applied equally then there is no law. Nope, I didnt point it out. Thats directly from the CNN article, paragraph 3. I was merely quoting to set context for the article Sorry Bruce, I stand corrected. 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...

Wrath of Dagon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I don't feel like looking up all their names right now. It's the groups that have been rioting over the past couple of years, BLM, Occupy, etc. Antifa is a big one. These protesters are incredible. They destroy property, assault people, and demand the police assault their ideological enemies, all while calling the free speech and personal liberty activists fascists.

Volourn Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Yeha, but it is a lot more interesting to wake up or come home from work to see how butthurt the anti Trumpers react. Crying about violence then going around attacking people, stealing from people, destroying property, etc., etc. Whing about 'facism' while trying to shut down opinions they don't like, threateing assassination, rape, murder, pillaging all the while supporting a country like Iran - a country that is supposedly anti all the things that the 'left' is supposed to be for.

Guard Dog Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Everyone is in a tizzy over Trump criticizing Judge Robar on Twitter. It was a low class thing to do. But they took no issue with Barack Obama criticizing the Supreme Court during a State of the Union address over the Citizens United ruling. I guess it's only a bad thing when you don't like the President doing it. Kind of like when Barack Obama banned refugees from Iraq... twice. And Cuba at the end. You know the biggest problem with politics in the US today? There is no "good" side. Both sides of this duopoly are completely populated by rabidly power mad would-be-tyrants looking to screw everyone else over to the mindless cheers of the sycophants who supported them. Barack Obama was one of the worst Presidents in living memory because he was so abusive of the authority of his office. My God he was using the IRS as a sick form of "thought police" and was all for using weaponized drones to kill America citizens with no due process of law. He considered using the US Military again protesters in Nevada and actually had to be talked out of it. And now we have Donald f-----g Trump and his first three weeks are making the Obama years look like a preview of coming attractions. 3 "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...
