Trump is working on the budget now to save us even more money. If I recall, Obama didn't have a budget for several years. Did you forget all that?

Speaking of which, I have more important things to do than spend time talking about this crap - I have to go to work (an extra shift I picked up because I'm inspired by how much work Trump does and I strive everyday to be just like him!) :mrgreen:

The Democrats absolutely had a budget. The Progressive Caucus consistently came out with a budget that would be balanced in 10 years without raising taxes on the middle class. Republicans and corporate Democrats just ignored it. Besides all spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives which was controlled by Republicans for the majority of Obama's presidency.

But that's changing the subject. Again why is it OK for Trump to spend 12 times the amount of tax payer money on travel? Certainly you have an answer, right?

Rep. Schiff: Trump's behavior 'gravely concerning'


Adam Schiff is publicly questioning Trump's mental health.

PoliticsUSA: Top Member Of House Intel Committee Questions Trump’s Mental State On National TV

Quote:
He answered, “No, and I think it’s a preposterous claim. As other people have pointed out, if it were true it would mean that a federal judge had found probable cause to believe that Trump or his associates were engaged in a crime, or that a FISA court judge had found that they were acting as agents of a foreign power. This is what the president is suggesting when he says that he was wiretapped. But it’s a preposterous claim, and I think it’s certainly one explanation that he’s merely trying to distract, but a more troubling conclusion might be that this is simply a president that can not separate fact from fantasy, and as a Commander In Chief doesn’t know right from wrong.”

Schiff was suggesting that the President Of The United States is potentially not of sound mind.

Between his golf games, excessive tweeting, and going to private clubs like Marlago, when does he have time to do that?

His idea of a budget is cutting programs that don't actually receive that much money and dumping more money into our already bloated military. Some budget lol.

So, either there was a legitimate criminal complaint against someone in Trump Tower, or there was a legitimate investigation of someone else which led to Trump Tower. Either one is bad for Trump.

If the NY AG had requested a wiretap, it wouldn't have even gone to the FISA court. I'm not sure of the exact procedure, but Clapper did mention that he wouldn't have necessarily known about state level agencies and their activities.

That's just conjecture on your part.

Yes. It's conjecture based on normal policy and practices.

I don't understand Trump's appeal, frankly.

Hillary was no great shakes, either.

Why can't we have Adlai Stevenson??????

Or even someone like Eisenhower? Or Truman?

The Presidency has become a reality show.

H. L. Mencken was right. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American Electorate. Unfortunately, a yellow dog is smarter nowadays than the average American.

I think you need to be far enough to the right to have been subject to the slings and arrows of the left for a few years to get his appeal.

I wonder how many more news stories there are going to be about Trump tweets and him being mentally unstable. I mean it's already getting kinda old.
