The extraordinary arrogance of Trump interviewing US attorneys

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/20/opinions/us-attorney-trump-interview-callan-opinion/index.html


Democrat does this and the republicans would send a spaceship up to figure out a way to stop the earth from rotating.

51 GOP Senators Just Voted To Cut $1.5 Trillion from Medicare and Medicaid To Give Super-Rich and Corporations a Tax Cut


But I am the hyperbolic one when I say they want to kill us, uh huh.

"51 Republican Senators just voted to cut Medicaid by $1 trillion and Medicare by $500 billion so that millionaires and corporations can get a tax cut. It's immoral and despicable," said TJ Helmstetter, a spokesperson for Americans for Tax Fairness, in a statement immediately following the vote.

Dont subscribe to EXPERIAN

Trying to cancel the membership, they make it impossible to do so online or by email.

You must call them, I am now on TWO different phone lines and have been on hold for one hour and twenty six minutes.

I thought of having AMEX block the payment but AMEX says they can still force them to pay, which I dont see how since I am on a month to month, these are all month to month.

Anyway, if you must, and I do, I hear ID SHIELD is good.

about which alarm company to use, you get the burglar OUT of your house first.

Trump Gives Military New Freedom. But With That Comes Danger.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/05/us/politics/rules-of-engagement-military-force-mattis.html



WASHINGTON — President Trump has let the military know that the buck stops with them, not him. The Pentagon, after eight years of chafing at what many generals viewed as micromanaging from the Obama White House, is so far embracing its new freedom.

Officials say that much of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s plan to defeat the Islamic State, which Mr. Mattis delivered to the White House in February but has yet to make public, consists of proposals for speeding up decision-making to allow the military to move more quickly on raids, airstrikes, bombing missions and arming allies in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere. Commanders argue that loosening restrictions — as Mr. Trump has already done for American operations in much of Somalia and parts of Yemen — could lead to a faster defeat of Islamic State militants in not only the Middle East but also the Horn of Africa.


There is a reason we have unnecessary military and civilian deaths. Trump wants a "win" to brag about to his deplorables and he doesnt care how many civilian brown people or American military have to die to get it.

Donald Trump has never, not once in his lifetime, asked this question:

"How do I talk to this person in a humane way, showing respect for their loss?"

Never, not now, not ever.

Yesterday in youtube chat of a progressive talk show I said:

"Soon not only will abortion be illegal but birth control also, and rape we will be legal again"


Immediately a person jumped on me as being "hyperbolic"


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/05/31/trump-administration-reversing-obamacares-birth-control-mandate/102346078/

https://newrepublic.com/article/120875/republicans-20-week-abortion-ban-relies-rape-culture

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/01/republican-plan-redefine-rape-abortion/

I could go on.

Anyone here believe trump judge and justice picks WONT try and ban abortion, birth control and redefine rape?

Elections have consequences, I sure hope we all learned something.

So, when someone who pays attention, who ALWAYS votes for ANY democrat on the ballot in November, says something like I said, pay the fuck attention. I dont do this for fun, I dont allege trump is trying to kill me and you because that is more fun to do than playing my PlayStation or watching a movie, I do it because he is trying to kill me and you.

I do it because they ARE going to ban women's rights, gay rights, minority rights, voting rights, and destroy the environment. They arent going to try, they ARE.

And there is one tiny barely existing chance we have to stop them. Just one,

1. show up to vote
2. vote for any Democrat, no matter if he or she is the devil or not
3. stop bad mouthing democrats, at least until we get the Nazis out of our white house, eh?
