The media didn’t damage three million people who voted for Clinton and didn’t vote for trump. In another democracy, she’d be president. However, there’s enough blame to go around as to how she was defeated, not the least of which was white rage which trumpp stoked beginning right after he was humiliated at the D.C. Correspondents’ Dinner and his hatred for blacks going back generations.

Congress has yet to fund CHIPs - so children will be affected in 4th quarter and now adults will lose affordable health care insurance. One has to wonder when layoffs will come in the Healthcare Industry…maybe then people will comprehend that Donalds action will affect more than just insurance.

The Failing @nytimes, in a story by Peter Baker, should have mentioned the rapid terminations by me of TPP & The Paris Accord & the fast….— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 15, 2017…approvals
of The Keystone XL & Dakota Access pipelines. Also, look at the

Not a single congressional act to date. Even lowly district rep Ronnie Paul ushered one bill into law. It might have taken 20 years but…

I am still amazed that more than 60 million people listened to Trump’s obviously unrealistic, completely bullshit promises (I guess he wanted to finish all his chores on Day One so he wouldn’t miss any tee times later) and voted for him. Who the fuck does that? Who listens to an obvious blowhard who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow for a year and a half and figures, “Yeah, this guy is gonna shake things up good in DC and get some shit done!”?
And yet, I have to admit, they weren’t completely wrong. He is getting shit done, but, it’s all very bad shit.

It depends on what he tweets. One day he may tweet out an order to blow someone up, and some jackbooted thug will do it.
It’s warming up.
A high-stakes legal showdown is brewing for President Donald Trump, as a woman who said he groped her has subpoenaed all documents from his campaign pertaining to “any woman alleging that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately.”

Okay, I see your problem. Donnie’s supporters wanted things “shaken up” but really didn’t care if he got anything done. they just wanted to metaphorically give a giant raised middle finger to all those who they felt had slighted them over the years - blacks, gays, “libruls”, that girl in the 7th grade who laughed at them, etc. If they could wind the tape back to the 50s and get even with her, fine but if not, then they’re happy to see it all burn down.
I remember having a conversation with a retired guy at the dog park while I was living in California’s Central Valley (Trump Country indeed). He’d served in the military and then worked as a nursing assistant for the VA, so felt he was completely entitled to his Social Security and Medicare, but didn’t think any of “those people” should get anything, so no ACA, nope. He didn’t even think he should have to pay any taxes at all, since he’d already “bought” his government benefits, so he just wanted to “raise the drawbridge and cut 'em all off”. Nothing I said was going to shift him from his selfish position, so sadly, he’ll need to see his benefits slashed before changing his position (or his vote).
Sadly, there’s going to be a lot of collateral damage along the way.

Very true our responce has been horrible.
I heard on Wait Wait Dont Tell me that FEMA gave out the number of a sex phone line accidentally as a relief aid line in FL.
I found the following short article useful.

Under the rules of the deal, which the White House says it will follow, the earliest any country can leave is Nov. 4, 2020. That means the United States will remain a party to the accord for nearly all of Mr. Trump’s current term, and it could still try to influence the climate talks during that span.

I agree: This statement is more general and more intense than one I would make myself. But I still believe that Trump has very little reason to complain about the NYT coverage of the election campaign. It wasn’t either anti-Trump or pro-Clinton in significant degree. And it could have been more skeptical of some anti-Clinton claims without betraying bias.

This disaster will far longer devastating effects than I think anyone realizes. The people on the island were already left behind because of PR debit crisis. Those staying were poorer than those that left, or helped younger Puerto Ricans financial move to the mainland.
The constant struggle to gather food and clean water will one cause major stress in their systems leaving then more vulnerable to diseases. Also spending time in line for anything makes it hard to work, to clean up, and just plain move ahead.
All other natural disasters that I can think of happened on the mainland or in the case of HI did not sweep all islands. There were safe places to move temporarily.
We’d better be taking careful note of what works and doesn’t work because storms will come again, and get stronger in frequency and intensity.

But it’s not his crayons he’s smearing all over the walls.
When you got nothing, you make the most of what you have.
These aren’t accomplishments. They are (metaphorically speaking) the emperor’s new clothes. If you can’t see them, then there must be something wrong with you. /sarcasm

Do people like you even read the Times? They have attacked Trump virtually every day, but you can’t tolerate their stories suggesting Hillary was a flawed candidate. “A non-stop, venomous, Maureen Dowd-level of Hillary-hating”? " Relentless attacks on Hillary combined with…pulled punches on Donald." Totally exaggerated nonsense. Do you seriously think Hillary was beyond criticism?
Trump takes a dump and demands we all look in the toilet at his " accomplishment." This bleached blonde bloviator really needs an adult, like Gen.John Kelly, to supervise his tweets, or we will continually be asked to view his public bowel movements.

Drill Baby drill, turned into frack baby frack and in turn turned in to bye coal-bye.
Not that fracking is a great solution but if it takes out coal then it gets gone by alternative sources, I guess that’s a good thing.
Plus, If Preznident Failure is for coal, its definitely-without a doubt, done!
