    Well Netherlands started working for that Dutch second policy lol

    The Dutch market regulator mistakenly published the details of hundreds of previously private short selling trades by international hedge funds, including bets against Dutch banks by George Soros and the positions of Renaissance Technologies’ enigmatic Medallion fund.

    It can't go on like this, can it? Is every day going to be like this? Insane pronouncements followed by insane reactions. People are going mental. It's like some kind of ariborne zombie virus. Eventually the only place left unaffected will be with the lost Amazon tribes. Or a compound in Oregon that is mysteriously immune for the purposes of narrative.

    We have to develop some kind of Trump filter.

    For a start, I can't see he's going to waterboard detainees - even military chiefs have said that they won't do it. These are just executive orders that lay out a marker. Not sure if any of them are even signed off by dept chiefs.

    I doubt he's going to ban all muslims, or build a giant wall either. Mexico won't pay for it all. He's probably not going to pull out of NATO or start a nuclear arms race.

    It's all just the fucked up way he thinks you get things done. It's his stupid book made real. Ridiculous, delusional bargaining positions that over-hype his hand.

    None of it is based in reality. He's been bullshitting for so long that truth is now just a bothersome concept that losers worry about while he wins the prize.

    • sure they will, that's a lie
      ********
    • Mexico will pay for it in other ways, it's not going to be a check made out to "extending the fence between US and Mexico." it's already 1/3 in place dude.
      ********
    • if you call his many Trump hotels imagery, well OK. Just business as usual.
      ********
    • Thanks to Obama and Clinton sign off back in 2008, Trump already has approval to build a wall. The Dems gave it a green light.robotron3k
    • if 1/3 of it is in place, the most they're going to pay for is 2/3.Fax_Benson
    • He'll build something and Mexico will contribute. That's all he needs.Fax_Benson
    • It'll be a cheap gold-leaf, faux-regency gate with Trump on the top and he'll charge mexico to polish the doorknob.Fax_Benson
    • then they'll pay for 2/3 of it. they are shit stuck without many options. if US auto OEMs are forced to pull out entirely, they are fucked.
      ********
    • robotron3k is correct, the Dems initiated all of this. so fucking laughable at this point
      ********
    • Careful with your fake statements guys - Clinton once voted for double fencing of what was already in place (700miles). Not building a wall. And if you arefadein11
    • saying Trump is just continuing policy in place why the fuck is he making such a song and dance about it? There is a bit difference betweenfadein11
    • strengthening a 700mile fence that already existed and building a 2000mile wall (if that is what it ever becomes).fadein11
    • Trump didn't ever mention a fence. He talked about a wall. A big wall, a tall wall, a thick wall, a glorious, beautiful wall with all the technologies.monospaced
    • To say that democrats have been arguing for a wall is absolutely stupid. That's trump 100%. Now, if he meant fence, then he's a fucking liar.monospaced
    • yep - not sure if that was directed at me at all but it's pretty much what I said. Clinton did not initiate a wall - fact. Yet these idiots are spreading yetfadein11
    • more fakeness to support their silly man.fadein11
    • If he meant fence, then all he had to say was "I want exactly what Obama and Hillary want," but he didn't.monospaced
    • wall / fence it's just terminology to rile up the base. he will extend that fence and then some. even if just a deterrent, it'll work
      ********
    • nope - Hilary voted on a bill to strengthen an existing fence. NOT build a new much longer wall. Big difference dimwit.fadein11
    • it wasn't terminology, he flat out described it in detail several times, and he never said anything about a fence ... he specified wall and even the dimensionsmonospaced
    • now, if it's just terminology, then anyone who thought he meant wall is a drooling moron and should castrate themselves immediately to save our speciesmonospaced

      Quick question though vero. Do you think this implies a positive or negative message towards Trump?

    • Which presidents in the last 50 years have been 'good' ? Just out interest. Apart from the one that was assassinated of course.
      ********
    • Johnson. Reagan. Kennedy. Obama. Clinton. Carter. One could even argue GHW through his first 3 years was rather good, but breaking his promise broke him.hobgoblin

    • Fuck, I wouldn't throw LBJ in that group. "The Great Society" didn't turn out so great, did it? A panderer for the black vote. Jimmy Carter, LMFAO!
      ********
    • to answer your question, I would say this is a negative message towards Trump, Obama, GWB and any president that has allowed auto OEMs to gain control.

    Donald Trump’s “emotional maturity [and] stability” are being discussed in private by senior members of his own political party, according to veteran Washington journalist Carl Bernstein, in a turn of events he has described as unprecedented.

    Bernstein was speaking on CNN late on Wednesday night, when he revealed there was “open discussion” among Republicans about Mr Trump’s fitness to rule.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/new…

    • doesn't surprise me, most high ranking GOP hate him. he doesn't jive with their crap lies. GOOD!
      ********
    • Probably the opposite, he shares their agenda but they are worried that his unstable behavior will screw things up.yuekit
    • And lol at observing the trainwreck of the past week and concluding "good"yuekit
    • oh, they hate him alright. I don't' think he truly shares their entire agenda. I think a lot of it circumstance. they might start to agree, but not now.

    Trump is going publish weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/new…

    This won't stop crime but rather make white people more scared of brown people.

    • it also highlights the problem. what's wrong with data on crime? how is that racist?

    • Yea it's fucked up, and clearly designed to create more separation... More hate. Sad.
      ********
    • if immigrant people aren't committing crime the data should make them look good. Calculate the CPI (Crime Per Immigrant). If the metric is low, it's a positive!
