trump says he's putting tariffs on steel and aluminum. He doesn't have a clue how this works. He doesn't have a clue how any of this works.
 
"I was as surprised as anyone to find out that a $31,000 dining set had been ordered," HUD Secretary Ben Carson said in a statement on the expensive furniture order at his department.

I hope they explain to that clown that these games are available globally and that we are the only western country that has a problem with school shootings.
 
Georgia Republicans honor their threat to harm Delta in defense of the NRA
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...in-defense-of-the-nra/?utm_term=.ab0654139a5c
In a show of political strength, Georgia lawmakers on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill that was stripped of an earlier provision granting Delta Air Lines a lucrative tax break.

By passing the bill, lawmakers carried out the threat that Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle (R) made to Atlanta-based Delta earlier this week: if the airline did not restore discounted fares to members of the National Rifle Association, Republicans would strike down a $50 million sales-tax exemption on jet fuel from its larger tax-cut package. Delta, which is one of the state’s largest employers, would have been the primary beneficiary of the exemption.

Not sure how that's legal but ok.
 
My wife and I are living with her sister and her husband. Their spare time is watching fox news and Dana Loesch highlights. I love her family to death for letting us live with them but God help me when they watch tv.
 
Lol

Most of last year I drove semitrucks across the country.

Try walking into a truck stop and eating at the 'Trucker Counter' in the restaurant. Always FOX News on the TV and right wing xenophobia from the drivers.

I hate being in this industry.
 
f*** Tucker Carlson, but he has a point. If Obama said half of what Trump did, Republicans would be ready for a civil war. Almost weekly Trump does something so egregious that I am sure his base will revolt over...then nothing.

Their egos, and intelligence level, prevent them from ever saying he's done anything wrong.

Link? I had a family member ask why I haven't praised his meeting the other day. I said because he lies and changes his mind like the wind.

No link or information yet but the trumpsterfire had a closed meeting with the NRA late last night. He bends to whomever speaks to him last.

I heard it on the radio this morning. Did a quick look but don't see anything official, but they brought up the meeting rankandfile mentioned.
 
I'm sure Trump's "meeting" with the NRA was just a piece of paper with the amount of all their GOP donations and "STFU" written below it.

Trump has the time to golf and meet the NRA twice, but he's too busy for any Parkland funerals.

Russians Used Reddit and Tumblr to Troll the 2016 Election

https://www.thedailybeast.com/russians-used-reddit-and-tumblr-to-troll-the-2016-election/

A leak of internal data from the Kremlin-backed Internet Research Agency discovered by The Daily Beast serves as the first confirmation that the Russian troll farm deployed its online agitators on Reddit as part of its campaign to interfere in American politics.

The leak also reveals 21 Tumblr accounts, including login credentials, run by the Internet Research Agency (IRA). The listing for the leak offers “American proxies” for Reddit and viral meme site 9Gag. The leak comes after months of speculation from Reddit users that the site had been targeted by a foreign influence campaign.

Content from IRA-backed websites like BlackMattersUs.com received hundreds—and sometimes thousands—upvotes on subreddits like r/The_Donald and r/HillaryForPrison in the run-up to the 2016 election. Trolls purporting to represent the troll farm promised an Ask Me Anything session in October, but the Q-and-A never occurred.

No surprise really considering the cesspool that is r/The_Donald.
 
Interesting read. Something I have heard of yet.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/us-russia-syria-implication-serious/

On the night of February 7, “pro-regime” Syrian forces reportedly launched an assault on a “known” American base. American forces defended themselves with attack helicopters, jets, and AC-130 gunships, and the attackers withdrew after taking significant casualties.

That next week, on February 12, Reuters reported that at least two Russians died in the fighting, according to their associates. The Russian casualties were apparently contractors accompanying regime forces. By February 13, both the Washington Post and New York Times had picked up the story, and the number of rumored Russian dead swelled to “large numbers” or “dozens,” but — we were assured — there was no direct confrontation between Americans and members of the Russian military.

Perfect.
