OTOH, Trump has remembered a campaign promise and has the DoT putting together a $1 trillion infrastructure proposal intended to boost the economy.

But some of his external advisors think this is fool-hardy, not out of opposition to infrastructure, but with the quite accurate understanding that none of that money would actually be spent until a year or so from now, at best!

I am impressed with Jim DeMint. This is the best analysis I've ever seen from him.

I happen to disagree on the need for the package - Trump's promised infrastructure was poorly designed in it reliance on other people's money, but the need is real and far beyond what either candidate promised in 2016. Nor has it gotten cheaper or less needful in the interim.

But it won't provide economic benefit now, which is what the president needs and what the country needs.

If only Trump would look at a way to do it that was not all about reelecting the president.

Fuck Jim Demint

He’s one of the main reason we don’t have the best healthcare system in the world

I’m much more excited for the niece’s book than for Bolton’s. I love a good mob story.

I really hope he tries to enforce the NDA. I wonder what extortion scheme he used to get her to sign one in the first place.

appallingly ignorant
disloyal
dumb
heartless
possessed of violent desires for revenge
thinks nothing of selling out our country for personal gain”

I have more ire for Joe Lieberman, who was supposedly on our side, back then.

For consistency, Kid, I assume you are opposed to what is going on in those southern states.

I have somewhat less confidence in dirty nappy’s ability to lead the United States out of the economic nose dive he has created than I do in his ability to throw an inspiring and well attended campaign event.

He may still be able to book VFW halls and Waffle Houses by September. If they can find enough actors to bus in the places might even look full.

Jobs won’t be coming back while republicans hold significant positions of power. That party is all about distraction destruction denial and self-destruction these days.

Keep marching.

It’s time to fucking win this thing.

It will take at least seven generations of zealous and conscientious salting to win a pause in which the motherfuckers can’t come back.

It's a start.   The present law is enforced very unequally, and mainly lands on you know who.

What's the question?

Why should I ask you a question?

I stated some problems. You made your fatuous statement about consistency and how I felt.

I responded, despite your failure to address my post. Perhaps I am mistakenly assuming you read the post to which you posted your assumption.

So, for consistency, Kid, I assume you are opposed to what is going on in those southern states.

If so, Australia is doomed and deservedly so. Relying on a con man is never a good idea. I speak from experience.

Flag- burning laws are always the last bullet in a losing arsenal.

They don't have to be.
Burning the flag should be a serious crime. The first bullet in a winning arsenal.

And to hell with Freedom of Speech.

Why should it be a serious crime?

Burning the flag is not words/speech.
The flag represents the nation...burning it, is like burning the nation.

Really?  Doofus.  The prescribed way to dispose of worn and tattered flags is.......Burning.

Go tell it to the US Marines.

That is different from protesters burning the flag in public.

Oh, the protesters should burn it privately.  You are even dumber than I knew you to be.
that's your quota from me.
Back into your cave you go.

You're just playing dumb.
You know exactly what I mean.
You know exactly what protesters are doing by burning the flag in public.
