That IS sweet.  Thanks, dragonflies!

Given his public stance on the Central Park Five -- which he still refuses to apologize for (because, like, that would show weakness, okay?) -- I'm not a bit surprised.

 

Oh, you mean the stance where he paid thousands of dollars to take out a full page ad in NYC newspapers advocating for five teenage boys of color to be executed?

 

Many of us have seen through Trump's so called "rhetoric" (I call it racism) for many years now.

He doesn't apologize because he does not give one single f*ck about anyone else.  There are days I still can't believe this terrible human being was elected our leader.  Then I remember the majority did vote against him, so there is hope for our country yet.

 

Next up tax reform.  If they couldn't give a massive tax break to the wealthy by gutting healthcare they'll just do it directly.  Still, I'll take this over repeal of the ACA.

Yep, that would be the stance.  To this day, he believes the NYC law enforcement community were right and just in their handling of that particular case; so, again, it shouldn't surprise anyone to hear him advocate for police brutality, especially for "illegals" and POC.

 

The truth is, New Yorkers, by and large, have despised Trump for decades, stretching all the way back to when Papa Fred was still alive and at the Trump Organization.  Even during Trump's big '80's heyday, the only ones who weren't enamored with His Royal Orange Gaudiness were those from his own hometown.  Everyone else bought into the hype.

That's what I think as well.  I won't say the GOP won't keep trying to repeal and/or replace Obamacare, but I do suspect that'll be on the back-burner for the time being, as they refocus on tax reform and other things.

LMAO Troll go back under your bridge

 

GOP needs to kill the dead horse, Obama care won't be repealed, and it sticks in Trump's craw so bad it's hilarious

He's a malignant narcissist. They are incapable of apologizing.

 

The thing about Trump's asking for police brutality is that it isn't in any way limited to people of color. He's an authoritarian. He's going to want that kind of response for anyone protesting him.

Score one for the Mooch.

Add in many in the entire NYC metro area.

Remember, in addition that mansion near his golf course in Bedminster, Trump had failing casinos in New Jersey too. He also engaged in a bitter struggle to try to buldoze an elderly woman out of her home in Atlantic City for another failing casino to make up for the casino (which he hurriedly sold off) that was on life support. Thankfully, granny pushed back forcing the Orange Menace to stand down and get the hell off her lawn.

Only the people who knew nothing about who Trump really is fell for his double-speak.

When I hear Congress yet again talk about sanctions or essentially just go tsk-tsk I get even more frightened that we clearly have no plans about North Korea. Not even a missile defense system that can stop it or not a very reliable one from some articles.

 

I don't even know what can be done. I don't feel like anyone has a proper response, but at least if Hillary were POTUS there would be people working on something. Instead all we hear about is this endless Game of Thrones meets Glengarry Glen Ross bullshit. 

 

Maybe the military is coming up with something independent of him. Who knows. I hope so.

The state of the Executive Branch is in shambles and I'm annoyed that nobody is holding the idiots that voted for him accountable. They keep running to "Trump Country" for puff pieces and their opinions as if they know anything meaningful about the legislation their Fuhrer is trying to ram down our throats. I'm over it.

Oh the sum total of the Trump WH's plan was to let Daddy Xi take care of it.

 

The waterfall of ineptitude just keeps on flowing-

 

A DHS spokesman tells me the department has received "no guidance" on who is now the acting secretary of homeland security.
