Ssrly, for a guy that people pretended was voted president based on the concerns of the WWC and Rust Belt, Trump never talks about issues facing the WWC or Rust Belt.

He never talks about jobs, about heroin, about diabetes... Trump only talks about Muslims and non-white people and how dangerous they are.

It's almost as though the election had absolutely nothing to do with "economic anxiety" and everything to do with white racial resentment.

I mean, yes.

But I just wish that pundits would start noticing that Trump has never talked about a material concern for the white working class while in office. Trump doesn't care at all about obesity and heroin that are slaughtering white people... he cares about Muslims terrorists who have killed like 20 WWC people in the last 7 years or so. Trump never talks about trying to raise wages for the WWC and instead talks about how black people in Chicago are murdering each other every second of every day.

Pretty amazing to see how corrupt Republican's get when they fully control the government. I mean, it shouldn't be surprising given their history, but the fact that Flynn isn't going to be punished for what he did is pretty much an open admission they have no intention of following the law if somebody in their camp is guilty of breaking it.

So going against the will of the voters, the Republican pieces of shit in "House overturns rule from professional wildlife management agency and sanctions killing hibernating bears and wolf pups in dens." Republicans are the fucking worst. I wish they would just die like they are willing to make many species go extinct. Every day gets fucking worse.

Fox News even just confirmed Trump lied multiple times and that he WAS fully informed about Flynn and his conversations with Russia.

And how do you think that [shit]talking about Muslims and non-white people isn't addressing a major concern of the majority of the WWC?
---edit---
I see you addressed that.

I am not certain why every member of the GOP is voting yes on minor rule changes that help like three rich people while enraging environmentalists.

"Your representative voted to allow murdering wolf puppies, go vote this fucker out." is a pretty good GotV message for 2018...

Seriously, how many Americans have interest (and the funds) in shooting bears from a helicopter in Alaska? Like ten total?

This article is saying the Feds have no clue and markets are reacting to expected fiscal expansion that may or may not happen due to the uncertain outcomes in setting fiscal policy because nobody knows the details. He even states the economey isn't really in need of fiscal expansion and that raising interest rates could be a lagging effect. He critiques the targeting of possible tax breaks and explains the uncertainty of trade.

I mean, absolutely. Wall street is doing gangbusters based solely on the fact any perceived chaos right now is basically unenforced foreign policy and domestic issues are remaining the same, but promised regulation and tax reductions are making everything very attractive.


Give it some time before we all implode.

The "defense" of repealing regulations on not killing baby wolves is not going to endear environmentalists to this bill...

“We have to recognize this is not about the little polar bears and the little grizzly bears and the wolves that you’re seeing on television,” Young said. “This is about the state’s right to manage(wildlife). Not allowing the federal government to do it.”

Young also seemed to scold those who hold a romantic view of predators.

“One year, on my trapline, the wolves killed 17 moose. Cows. With babies. Ate nothing but the noses and the fetus out of the belly,” Young said. “That’s your wolf.”

"I know you don't want us to kill grizzlies but we should have the state's right to do it!" is an insane argument that hopefully can get Young voted out in 2018.

Though there will probably be 12-15 of this situations over Trump's presidency if the timing is bad. But I'm just saying, if you've been looking for a good opportunity...

I give it a year before Trump says they'll have to take Canada's water for the farms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig_YIEYk81U

Watch that. Frontline: Better on Trump, Water. Crazy farmers saying the drought is caused by "the rotation or something like that" and that they didn't want to hear about global warming, they don't believe it's real.

Fucking idiots.

Seems like really bad timing for this report given that California is on pace for a record rain year. I get the aquifers are being drained and won't replenish at the same rate, but this story is pretty crazy to me. Reservoirs are near capacity right now. Also there are plenty of farmers making money right now.

Even my hardcore Tea Party Republican dad thinks Hannity has become unlistenable the last couple years.

He did, however, maintain that Rush was the voice of reason in the 2016 talk show wars. :lol

I mean... There are good reasons not to be part of the Trump admin.

But this is the worst reason.

I personally have no control over what he is doing day to day. There is also therapy in laughing at the absurdity and ineptness on display. It can be both comical and terrifying at the same time.

That's already happened. He didn't know he was putting Bannon on the NSC when he signed the executive order putting Bannon the NSC.

High performance as a junior/mid officer which set you up for future positions that help you move up. Once you make it, your battalion and brigade sized elements are what brings success in the battlefield. select/luck into a bunch of great mid level officers, and move all the way up.
