Everybody who says that is full of bull, regardless of party.

During the Obama presidency, reality tv has come of age, so it makes sense that we now will produce a Tabloid President. Itā€™s trending that way, anyway.

So Kevin Oā€™ Neill goes bye-bye

No more ā€˜Shark Tankā€™ā€¦

As with Putin, the only threats to President Trump are other corporate interests and the present soon-to-be-disappeared Beltway media.

Well I watched the entire conference and he said a lot more than that but as usual Obama was classy, thoughtful and brilliant. It was wonderful to have the Prime Minister of Canada visit us - it has been more than 20 years since such a visit.

Two very brilliant men - it was a pleasure to watch and thank goodness for the foreign reporters in attendance who asked good questions

Actually emigrated to Canada to escape the Bush crime family. Couldnā€™t be happier.

Lived there for 10 years. Great sushi! Moved to a small town on the coast. B.C. is Valhalla. Great beers, natural wonders, open minds.

I always appreciated people who wanted to move to Canada, so that they could get away from Obamaā€™s agenda of public healthcare, marriage equality, expansion of language rights, reasonable university tuition, easing of drug prison sentences, and tolerance of non-white culture.

I loved watching the disappointment on their faces. :smiley: :smile: :smiley:

And the best thing is, people donā€™t carry guns. In fact they donā€™t even understand the desire for everyone to be armed.

It is almost as though Canadians see the ability to move about freely without the need for deadly weapons as a sign of a civilized society.

Iā€™m actually genuinely concerned about what will happen to people of color in the chance that Trump were to become president. This isnā€™t about politics or economics or social issues, Iā€™m genuinely worried that his presidency could produce an environment not unlike the South in the first half of the 20th century. I donā€™t think thatā€™s even remotely foolish to consider.

People in DC might have to move if Trump gets to build his Super White Houseā€¦

In a campaign rally in Sioux City, Trump said he had offered to pay for the ballroom himself, and would get it built if he becomes president.
"Weā€™ll get the top people, the top everything. Weā€™ll have the best ballroom, because I notice they always put tents up on the lawn. No. 1, itā€™s not a good security thing. No 2, the guy that owns the tents is making a fortune,ā€ he said.
Trump said he had previously approached the Obama administration to offer to pay for the ballroom, but never heard back.

Trump wants a ā€˜Prisoner of Zendaā€™ staircaseā€¦

Have you read this very well written and intriguing article? For some reason it did not make it to the top of the boards and I only stumbled upon it one day when I was bored to tears by all the click-bait that TPM was presenting that afternoon.

One of the very best pieces Iā€™ve seen on TPM in a long long time!

"I do want to point out, I am absolutely certain that in 2012, when there was the possibility that I would be re-elected, there were folks who were threatening to go to Canada as well,ā€ he saidā€¦and then there was this guyā€¦

America still waits on Ted to keep his promise.

And, since theyā€™re sized to Trumpā€™s hand, theyā€™ll fit in a breast pocket!
