TRUMP defends the Soviet's 1979 Invasion of Afghanistan. :o
The President of the United States wrote: The reason Russia was in, in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. The problem is it was a tough fight. And literally they went bankrupt. They went into being called Russia again as opposed to the Soviet Union

Austerity is Sneelock’s word. I think they are just cockblocking Trump.

Surely he can finish gutting the regulatory and science agencies and whatever else isn't nailed down.

But I haven't really read up on PAYGO.


He can’t gut anything without the house. Any cuts he makes to pay for a wall have to go through the house. So there is really no downside for us. This is smart politics.

Thanks, Davey.

Austerity is Sneelock’s word.

..and Paul Krugman's. it's a perfectly good word.

Look, I know better than to argue with you about anything - there just aren't enough hours in the day. that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Me,I think we may see this more of a hindrance to the Dems agenda than the Repubs.

I get what you're saying and it's better than CUTGO but I'd rather they restore Corporate Tax Rates and buy everybody in America a fucking puppy.
maybe it is "smart politics" but most people HATE politics. I think there's a lot of good stuff in the rules package but PAYGO bugs the hell out of me. I mean, it's not a surprise, Steny & Nancy have been talking about it for months. my concern is that it's not just TRUMP they are interested in cockblocking. I think it's fair to be concerned it's going to discourage big ticket Dem programs despite assurances that it won't.

the fact that you see no downside isn't as encouraging as you might think -- I remember you stating categorically that TRUMP could never be elected President. :p

"I can do it if I want"

the President says he may invoke a state of emergency in order to build his stupid goddam wall.

so...
we've been at this for a while. what do you think?
he has every intention of doing this?
he is just playing "gotcha" to watch everybody go nuts?
he just opens his mouth and something comes flying out?

it sounds like something he'd try to do - don't you think?

What I've always been curious to know - and may never really know - is: how many people in his base really give a shit about Building That Wall? I suspect most of them just like having fun things to chant at the rallies.

Good. I told you I wasn’t going to argue with you. I’m sure Jimbo will be along any time now. Argue with him.
You’re going to set him straight any day now, I just know it!

I blocked him in the name of being considerate to everyone else here. Kind of a New Year’s resolution.

Meanwhile - be a dick if you want to be a dick. I’m not going to join you at it.

Again - trying to contribute less to thread pollution here. Be an asshole to me by PM if you want. I don’t care. But whatever your old beef is with me - it can’t be fascinating to anyone else.

Sounds like a good plan.

I guess once you use the ignore function once, you can’t stop there.
