More like on Tweet. I've worked on call & it means in state. It also means not skipping security briefings & access to signifigant comms resources, so no, unless this is the world's foremost militarized/SIGINT golf resort he's off 'call'.

US created 211,000 jobs in April, vs 185,000 jobs expected

OK enough job creation nonsense. He's one guy with a pen, we should credit whomever's actually working. I don't trust official people's claims of seriousness because if they were really serious about helping anybody they'd probably do so without the suits. Those same officials watch the same fake news.

'153,156,000 Employed Americans in April' ~ That's almost half the national population for example, inevitably pretty far from 95.6% of working age people. Hence some people enjoying math. I want to work AND study, not deal blackjack.

Do you take all your staff and computers from work with you everywhere you go?

There's no real off time for the president. He doesn't have to be at the whitehouse. They have portable whitehouse.

JOKE FOR THE DAY

Since everyone could use a joke and I didn't know where else to put this - I'm putting it here! :mrgreen:

OK, I have a neighbor named Ron who will say anything off the top of his head. So my friend Mary, our grounds keeper Jim and Ron were outside talking about a problem that was going on. When all of a sudden Ron piped up saying "You wouldn't want the problem that I have." Jim said "What problem is that?" Ron said "Sometimes I sh!t my pants." Let's just say that Mary and Jim were speechless. :mrgreen:

When I told my brother about what happened, he sent me this youtube video that could help Ron out. Here it is, it's called "Oops, I Crapped My Pants!" :mrgreen:




After I watched this video, it made me wonder how did my brother know about the "Oops, I Crapped My Pants!" video? Hmm. :mrgreen:

Actually Obamacare sucked for me so I'm open for any change. I think we should go back to the old system because there really is no way for everyone to be covered fairly. Insurance companies need competition and for the government to get completely out of it.

I've worked on-call, TOO----but, surely, you don't think the magnitude of our jobs / responsibilities could come even CLOSE to that of our president!!

As Bart Simpson would say, "Heh, heh."

So you don't watch the simpsons I see.

Nelson says that not Bart. Bart is don't have a cow man.

Trump hasn't done anything yet to make me regret voting for him. He saved my ass from obamas gun ban for disabled. So far he's been doing everything I wanted him to.

Also the number one issue he ran on was repealing obama care. So anyone who voted for him who supported it was dumb. More likely these people never supported trump and are just lying for the story if they even exist at all. The left is famous for this. "Even most gun owners support banning guns" yeah right and most blacks support blacks being treated as second class citizens. Trump supports support trump, gun owners don't stuport gun control. Blacks don't support discrimination against blacks. Finding or making up people and saying that most are that isn't true. It only works to people who already think that way, so it makes Clinton supporters feel right, yeah look trump voters feel betrayed, see we were right. >.> it's a propaganda war.

You're right, we just don't have the stomachs for nonstop gambling & twitter addiction.

Glad to see President Obama's sensible economic policies are continuing to see economic growth and job creation long after his departure! Imagine how much better things would be with TPP and TTIP in place - shame Trump couldn't understand them!

Just great. This is what I've been fearing for quite a long time and it has been discussed for a couple years now that the US isn't prepared for it - an EMP attack (Electro Magnetic Pulse). Little Hitler is planning to hit the US in this fashion. It's been said that an EMP attack would kill 90% of Americans in a few months. Here is information about just what exactly an EMP is and what it would do.......

This is a better explanation of what an EMP would entail.
