    "So far, Republicans in Congress have been doing just that. Despite the fact that most of them either openly dislike, distrust or disdain Trump, they have been careful to support their fellow Republican in the White House. But now he has stung them with the worst wound of all: betraying his own party. If he keeps it up, all bets are off."

    Trump must be fuming that he's been pushed off the front pages by back to back Hurricanes. Look for him to start tweeting nonsensical rubbish just to get his name front and centre again very soon.

    I've been called a trump supporter in the blanket sense wrongly and without reason. However I think I can define what I like about him now. He is a man smart enough to game the government system and media into "looking" like a success. He has enough common sense to challenge the political status quo which blows there minds. He isn't a genius. He is a a person who knows what he values and how to achieve it. Much better than most politicians. His values are garbage. Reminiscinet of a kid in a line for the latest ipad thinking he is awesome. But with his base and non party sacred cow thinking he has more ability to change shit than any other president in a long run. However some possibly for bad as well as some for good. Not through exectutive order but through media outlets entertainment quotas. However u live by the mob you die by the mob. I still think he has achieved more positive results than obama in 8 years. The FAA control and paris climate are huge. But those wins are ones where he doesnt even see the big picture. He only makes the simple rational decision that is best because he has no ties to it. This wildcard behavior seperates him from a no different bush or clinton ticket.

    I really hoped for a removal of obamacare but u can see the dynamics of politics when something is given freely no party wants to take it back. why such policies are so dangerous and destructive. Right now got grandfathered in before Apr 1 to pick a policy that covered me each month for 90 bucks (im 36) for any doctor i choose anywhere for 2 million dollars. The first 1000 is out of pocket. The next 1000 is at 20%, and than everything covered fully. Beat any obamacare plan and so much cheaper that even if i pay the tax i will come out ahead,

    And on a side note. I dont commute much from from working at home but today I had to grab my girl from the college and get her to the car repair place and than i drove by the local hospital to dodge freeway traffic. Took me over an hour and a half for less than 20 miles, And the size and scope of both college and hospitals has grown at a rate I cant even explain except say stupid. The health and higher edu needs to be checked because gov involvement is so obviously bloating those sytsems uncontrollaby. I have been agaisnt it in theory for awhile. but today i got a reality check in how fucked they truely are and worse than intial thought.

    • Where's the success and accomplishments? Even if I agreed with his goals I don't see any.yuekit
    • i should have put quotes around "smart" in second line. Without declaration of types of smart i might lump him with other types. more of s simple idiot with
      ********
    • backbone and sense of self. regardless if his world view is correct or not
      ********
    • The frameworks are a process ukit. Can u really deny the privatized air control as bad? I can see others needing proof to sway for ppl with hangups
      ********
    • i know u dont lie the paris climate but that is a con game amongst investors. hell wait for china to pan petro cars to destablize petro dollar
      ********
    • Good or bad it's another example of a failed policy. It died in the Senate just like health care.yuekit
    • the whole e car thing produces more c02 on larger scale due to coal production which the us hates to subsidize for cleaner alternatives
      ********
    • he is a fuckin idiot. but all presidencies before push in the same direction. he might accidently be better. especially if ego is stroked
      ********
    • ukit there is good and bad policy. that is the line. obamacare and paris climate bad policy, same with faa regualtions
      ********
    • regardless of how dipshits vote it is bad or good based on logic
      ********
    • He started with hundreds of millions and went completely bankrupt before being bailed out by banks and becoming a reality star. That should tell you something.yuekit
    • Conservatives had many chances to elect a real outsider with serious ideas like Paul or Johnson. Instead they picked a TV celebrity.yuekit
    • haha yea that he is a huckster smart enough to game the gov, media and sucker with no russia collusion to get him elected. not that its genius but he did it
      ********
    • i agree he is a royal cunt. but he is more malleable than obama for change. im hoping its for the better. media seems to push for opposite for ratings
      ********
    • but he is also a dipshit who is more focused on social media than policy and playing ego games. i wonde rwhat would happen if mob really asked for change
      ********

    • but i find this simple thing ukit. Do you think im a trump supporter? Is there difference of supporting policies vs the the man? im afraid many cant tell
      ********
    • the difference. they can not tell what policy is vs the man... and advertising branding and media doesnt help. we shape minds for false gernalizations
      ********
    • i find so many in our own field who fail to realize our own tricks of the trade. makes u wonder if they ever knew ...

    #BREAKING After bipartisan meeting with House moderates, Trump says rich may pay higher taxes

    Does anyone actually believe this? Does he?

    • to his credit, he does have a history of saying the rich should pay more - legislation may be different.dorf
    • he said this to help him win the election, he'll promote it to help again, but nothing will happen with the GOP running thingsformed

    If the Trump administration gets its way, U.S. citizens boarding international flights will have to submit to a face scan, a plan privacy advocates call an ill-advised step toward a surveillance state.

    The Department of Homeland Security says it's the only way to successfully expand a program that tracks nonimmigrant foreigners. They have been required by law since 2004 to submit biometric identity scans — but to date have only had their fingerprints and photos collected prior to entry.

    Now, DHS says it's finally ready to implement face scans on departure — aimed mainly at better tracking visa overstays but also at tightening security. But, the agency says, U.S. citizens must also be scanned for the program to work.
