And on Wednesday, Tobie, you loved him and now you hate him. What's the difference?

From the article: He lied about having the “biggest electoral win” in decades. On Thursday, President Trump held a 75-minute press conference. In addition to announcing that R. Alexander Acosta would be his new labor secretary nominee, Trump also bragged about his electoral college victory. "I guess it was the biggest electoral win since Ronald Reagan," he said. That statement is false. Former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George H. W. Bush all received more electoral college votes than Trump, who garnered 306 votes. For comparison, The Hill reported that Obama received 365 electoral votes in 2008 and 332 votes in 2012. Did you notice the word "guess" in his statement? This statement is obviously much more egregious and damaging than telling the American people they would receive a $2500 annual health care premium reduction and that Benghazi was a spontaneous response to an internet video., not to mention " I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman". That has the same amount of value as " Romney beat up a kid in high school 50 years ago" .

Jared Kushner is hardly emblematic of what takes place in American colleges today. Additionally, you, of all people, who regularly criticizes the sources provided by others elects to use something from ThinkProgress.org- simply amazing. If little Johnny Caucasian graduates from high school with a 3.0 average and little Joey Minority graduates from high school with a 3.0 average and both apply to University of Texas and/or Baylor, wanna guess/bet who will receive preferential consideration?

Englebert- are you possibly suggesting that the "enlightened" are not nearly as enlightened as they believe?

Please show me where that currently is the case.

If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. The affordable care act will REDUCE the average family premium by $2500 per year. There is not one smidgen of corruption at the IRS. My stimulus program will provide shovel ready jobs. Benghazi was a spontaneous response to a video.

That's different because he had "good intentions".

Help me here. I do not understand what is so terrible/offensive about this. Do you believe that Mr. Trumps predecessors never made phone call requests to Heads of other countries?

After the previous administration, lies seem to have become an acceptable method.

This stuff is all "trumped" up. The aforementioned pillars of society have done nothing wrong. When Clinton "convened" with the attorney general at the Arizona airport it was only to discuss grandchildren. And when Mrs. Clinton erased those 35,000 emails it was because the subject was yoga classes and grandchildren.

My guess is that McCain is near the end of his life. If he has a glioblastoma, my understanding is that the average survival rate is 15 months.( I have a family member who was recently diagnosed with it)

The left is solving the obesity rate by taxing sugary drinks? Taxes can solve any problem ( along with regulations)

Prepare to be labled a glowarmingphobe

From my perspective, in the majority of cases, yes. Hopefully I have hedged my position sufficiently to placate TxHoops. :):)

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response. He is big on symbolism over substance.

Tobie- If you hire an employee who you thought could do the job but cant; should you replace him or keep him for appearances sake?

Here is another one- Mr. Obamas presidency essentially created Mr. Trumps ascendancy to the Presidency and the loss of over 1000 state legislature seats and majorities in the House and Senate

Hmmm- I was thinking the density in Florida ( desireable) was pretty high and in Alaska(undesireable) it was pretty low. But maybe I am wrong. I would also add that the formula for the evaluation was comprised of more than affordability.

Now you need to do the UFC fights and say " Lets get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuumble!!!!!!!

How much central planning does this country need?

You may be right. Think taxes play a part in it?

This is an article from, of all places, the New York times offering its opinion on best and worst places for retirement. Of the top 5 places, 4 of the states have Republican Governors. OF the four WORST states, three have Democratic Governors. Hmmmm ( There were five "worst" places listed, but since D.C. is not technically a state, I omitted it) [Hidden Content]

Engelbert- Losing when you "knew" you were gonna win makes life difficult for many. Instead of acknowledging the loss and eliminating the mistakes they made, they are still trying to find ways to turn the loss into a "win" albeit unofficial.
