You guys see Trump is going to boycott the White House Correspondence Dinner? Oh and Sean Spicer's trying to insinuate if you smoke pot you will one day take morphine and Oxycontin as an addict?
Some people on Twitter are trying to convince Obama to attend that dinner instead.
Regardless of the situation, I find that this kind of dinner should be definitively canceled. From what I have seen, this debauchery of luxury and all those people who laugh like idiots are indecent in our times of big difficulties for the people. A little discretion would be good for the democracy
When your focus and attention is on something else (ie the rally) you don't necessarily focus on what is being handed to you. A quick cursory glance (yep - says "Trump") and a flag-a-waving we go.
It's very easy to fool people .. it's the basis of magic shows and sleigh of hand.
Has little to do with intelligence.
The magic word is "ignorance".
If you wave every piece of cloth that has Drumpf printed on it, without thinking twice, without asking yourself what you're doing there, stop claiming you care about America, the Constitution, the World, "the people".
Just stop it. It's not about any of that. You know it, we know it.

Not unique to republicans. Liberals did the same thing in 2008 and 2012. It's just that the conservative protests and outrage died out much more quickly so it wasn't really the kind of thing we are seeing now that has protracted over multiple months.

Personally knowing quite a few military men and women in grunt and leadership positions, I know we have nothing to worry about for the capability of our forces to win a conflict. The wild card is always the Commander In Chief and their politics getting in the way of measured, accurate and effective murderin'
This had little to nothing to do with misdirection (the scientific word). There was nobody on stage, nobody was speaking, no lights were flashing, there was no smoke, there was nobody waving a hand around in front of their faces or off to the right of the stage. This had to do with the fact that his supporters don't ask questions. They selectively turn their brains off, which doubles back to the intelligence question. Some of them thought Hillary had a double or clone... I mean common.
If you had presented me with a white, blue, and red striped flag, I would have said no thanks, thats a Russian flag. Then my mind, keen as it is, would have said "wait... wasn't Trump accussed of getting help from the Russian's by those liberal guys I hate [insert name calling here] oh and Micheal Flynn... Oh I better not hold this." Pretty easy to put two and two together.

It's the most professional and capable army in the world. "the middle east" is not a conventional war though, that could be "won" (at least in my opinion).
You either deescalate that entire part of the world or it will keep going for another generation or twenty.
The Middle East is a tar pit. Step in, get stuck.
Its oil is becoming less relevant and, soon, it will be too inhospitable for human life. The next big thing with The Middle East is a mass exodus. Can the world handle that?

Trump: 'Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated'
What a moron, we've been saying since the ACA fight back in 2009 that health reform is incredibly complicated. It has to be if we are going to cover the broad spectrum of illnesses and special situations while still finding a fair way to pay for it. It certainly would be a lot simpler if we weren't currently living with a conservative heritage foundation health reform plan that has more poison pills in it than actual health reforms. Obama and the Democrats really screwed that one up and let the GOP trivially take away the huge political capital they had after Obama's inauguration.
ACA was a setup, and I'm not sure that democrats realize it yet. It is designed to fail. As pharma is allowed to increase their prices, which the insurance providers then use as an excuse to exit the system. Unfortunately for the GOP, I think it is failing a bit later than they expected due to some intelligent financing that democrats were able to slide in with the poison pills.
This is why they are having such a hard time with the replace part of repeal and replace. Anything that is other than what ACA is now (aside from no plan) is going to be more socialist.

I've been wondering for a long time if Obama did a bunch of things to put huge hick-ups into his predecessors run. His hands were tied during his presidency, and I think he is an intelligent enough guy to realize that he could make small changes, or some changes that would look very progressive but create a hail of misery for the next guy. I even wonder deep down if, while everybody keeps saying the DNC is going to come unhinged, if he was trying to make the GOP fall apart. If I am making any sense. Posting from my phone.
Nah, the GOP was already in tatters post-Bush and it still is. Remember, a minority of Republicans were able to position Trump as the GOP nominee by dividing votes among opposition candidates. The democrats are in for much of the same with infighting rising to ridiculous levels.
It is time to clean house, if you ask me. They are all scum of the Earth and are on the take.
To any Americans reading this, if Anti-Corruption shows up on your municipal or state ballot, VOTE YES
Money needs to be removed from the equation. Power should not be able to be purchased DeVos style.
Respected around the world? I live abroad and frequently travel to other countries. Most people, with the exception of the ultra liberal EU, consider him a joke. He has jacked up the national debt to astronomical records, set back race relations by 30 years or so. He has weaponized the IRS and now corporate tax rates are the highest in the world. In addition to the tax rate, extreme over regulation is killings small business. He presided over the lowest growth of GDP since Hoover. He selectively chooses which laws to enforce (such as immigration). Spent millions in tax payer dollars fighting states who try to actually enforce immigration law. Also tried to strong arm public schools and businesses to allow men to use the women's restroom. He has some responsibility for the creation of ISIS with his irresponsible Iraq troop withdrawal (shouldn't have been there in the first place, but since we were we should have made sure things were in order before leaving).
As an American who lives abroad he has even managed to screw me over with his FATCA tax law. A few months ago I received a letter from my bank informing me they were going to close my account because now Americans are too much trouble to deal with. Out of about 13000 banks in Hong Kong only about 5 will still serve Americans--and this is after a lengthy application process including a personal interview. I had to totally remove my name from my company and put all our accounts totally in my wife's name. Getting a mortgage, opening an investment account etc are nearly impossible. This has led to a record number of Americans to renounce citizenship, and instead of seeing a problem Obozo responded by raising the renouncation fee by over 400%. Obama was probably the worst president we have ever had, he is a disgrace; he is a two bit Chicago thug and I am glad he is gone--good riddance. Hillary was nothing more than Obama 2.0. Trump has pledged to repeal FATCA and lower corporate taxes, if he does I will be moving my business back to the USA.
