"Obama's $400,000 Wall Street speaking fee will undermine everything he believes in"
- Since 2009, Bush has given at least 200 paid speeches and probably many more, typically pocketing $100,000 to $175,000 per appearance. GTFOHkona
- Does OJ Simpson do well on the speaking circuit?fadein11
- Not to mention Bush has sold his paintings for upwards of tens of dollars!BonSeff
- lolkona
- That's a going rate. I'm guessing you haven't had to book keynote speakers and negotiate fees before.monospaced
- lol Bon! ones of dollars!teh

Mexico pay for the wall is rally working out. lol
"On Tuesday, the World Trade Organization ruled in Mexico's favor, allowing it to impose trade sanctions worth $163 million a year against the US. The WTO says that's how much money Mexico has lost from the US unfairly penalizing Mexican tuna.
Mexico's economic ministry said it would immediately take actions to reclaim the $163 million the WTO said it had lost from the US restrictions. It didn't say whether its retaliatory actions would be tariffs on US tuna or another product."
- oh man if I was a trumptard I'd be so pissed right nowmonospaced
- If you like animals, specifically dolphins, you should be pissed. Mexico's fisheries are not "dolphin safe", and they're making claims of discrimination.omg
- many retailers are unhappy with Mexico right now and "will not touch" the tuna from Mexico.omg
- Nobody knew international trade could be so complicated.yuekit
- ^ lol.sofakingback
- You sound as if you know for certain they are not dolphin safe. What proof do you have to make that claim.sofakingback
- Im gonna make the bold assumption that you're talking out of your ass, as always. Don't get all hurt because your man crush is letting you down.sofakingback
- Ha, I kid you not. You won't be able to find a can of tuna from Mexico with a "dolphin safe" seal of approval.omg
- Mexico lost 4 times the proposed $163 million. And when the US proves it's not trying to be discriminatory. Mexico isn't going to get jack shit! :)omg
- and you will find lots of happy dolphins supporting Trump to build the wall.omg

With the 100 days coming up, I don't know whether to pity the people who will believe he's done anything worth celebrating, or just feel sorry for them. They're so awash in the same apathy and complacency that helped elect that fool. '
You could challenge them for hours to tell you what they're most excited by that Trump has done in the first 100 days, and they're either going to feed you a steady stream of lies they've heard from this absurd administration and their right-wing media mouthpieces, or they're going to just say that certain things happened that haven't happened yet. Hopelessly aloof, celebrating the damage being done to this great country, while gaining NOTHING from it.
- He's confirmed what most of us Yuropians suspected about the republican movement and the people that vote for them.monoboy
- so true ... no joke, I saw a Trump voter say that his biggest accomplishment is getting Gorsuch appointed ... as if he didn't just pick the name from a hatmonospaced
- I'm sure there are many other people you can blame for your problems, even if your goals are to destroy this country. Antifa may be looking for new recruits.omg
- I'm sure there are many other websites you can piss off to. http://chan4chan.com… if you aren't already signed up.mg33
- I'm not the one with complaints. You seem like you're looking to place your emotions somewhere you can attack right wing speech is all.omg
- lol. so you think its going well for Trump so far omg?fadein11
- of course he does fadein. best president ever he believes. ain't that some shitkona
- His A+ report card looked pretty good last I saw. Projections for DJT were also showing positive signs of improvement going forward passing 50% acceptance.omg
- https://media.giphy.…Ramanisky2
- omg, in with a bunch of diarrhea and not a single thing that Trump has actually done in the first 100 days that's worth notingmonospaced
- There is a positive to all this in the fact that there might be real appetite for a more constructive form of Government that does indeed serve the people...monoboy
- ...and not just the narrow business interests of the few.monoboy
- Sadly, it's not yet clear how many eggs this baffoon will break before we get to make the omelette.monoboy
- What is clear however, is that Trump is not part of the traditional establishment pulling strings behind closed doors.monoboy
- the concept of using the first 100 days to judge effectiveness and "not very meaningful" and an overrated tool of evaluating a presidency.omg
- that's not what trump said during his campaign ... but flat out lies from that lying piece of stupid shit is nothing new, and dumbfucks like you eat up excusesmonospaced
- OMG, don't most private sector jobs start with 3 month probationary period?monoboy
- He has delivered exactly nothing. Maybe he should be asked to pursue other opportunities as we will not be extending his contract past it?monoboy
- If you really want to 'drain the swamp' I'd give social democracy a go. Neoliberalism has failed you big time.monoboy
- the concept and benchmark of 100 days is actually quite standard in the business world, and Trump should know this, considering he fancies himself a businessmanmonospaced
- considering he actually doesn't run real businesses himself, doesn't report to a board or shareholders, and apparently can't/won't read, it's not surprising ...monospaced
- ... he's a fraud ... don the con has all the US's morons hanging from his pubes, and for no good reasonmonospaced

Are American voters actually just stupid? A new poll suggests the answer may be “yes”
- lol. They needed a poll for the obviouskona
- But don't call idiots stupid! That's what got us in this mess in the 1st place! Lol.fadein11
- yep. I imagine the "deplorables" comment pissed em off. They all spit out their chew, put on some overalls without a shirt and drove their ford pickupskona
- with their confederate flag license plate frames down and voted for the first time. after they all went to kfc and fired their guns into the air.kona

Ya know I distinctively remember Trump supporters clamoring for this during Trump's campaign trail. Because drilling at National Monuments is something everyone (big oil) can get behind!!
Well done a-holes.
-----Trump order aims to allow drilling at national monuments
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to identify national monuments that can be rescinded or resized - part of a broader push to open up more federal lands to drilling, mining and other development.
The move comes as part of Trump's effort to reverse a slew of environmental protections ushered in by former President Barack Obama that he said were hobbling economic growth - an agenda that is cheering industry but enraging conservationists.
Trump signed the order at the Interior Department in Washington, saying that his predecessors' use of the 1906 Antiquities Act to create monuments marked an "egregious abuse of federal power." He said the order would give "power back to the states" to decide what areas of land should be protected and which should remain open for development.
The monuments covered by the review will range from the Grand Staircase created by President Bill Clinton in 1996 to the Bears Ears created by President Barack Obama in December 2016, both in Utah.
- An "egregious abuse of federal power." In a million years the dipshits supporting him would never understand that Trump is guilty of exactly that.mg33
- I wonder will the Alamo, Bastrop State Park, Fort Belknap, Brown, and Concho monuments be covered by the review? I mean shit, who knows howkona
- much oil and precious minerals could be hiding under the Alamo. Right!?kona
- this is lobby and corporate influence in its purest form, the one thing he vowed not to let happen ... pay to playmonospaced
- I'm speechless. They're just destroying the country right in front of everyone without the slightest bit of guilt, shame or guise.instrmntl
- Dudes were tearing up the sidewalk at the corner. I just walk around it, but I know someone out there is complaining about its inconvenience.omg
- ...the sidewalk eventually went back to its normal state, but now its brand spanking new! We enjoy a couple more yrs of carefree life once again on new concreteomg
- I'm sorry. I'm too busy laughing at you for not being able to comprehend the difference between the Grand Staircase and a sidewalk.kona
- You truly are clueless and ignorant.kona
- this from the same guy who genuinely fails to see the benefit of public broadcasting, so you know he's a despicable moronmonospaced
- i can see a benefit of pbs, but if I can't afford it and I don't need it, then don't make me pay for it. maybe try being a different kind of special.omg
- yup, ignorant, deplorable, stupid and of course, defensive and sensitive too ... perfect storm for trumptardismmonospaced
- lol, what part of "can't afford" missed your brain? Yet you think multi-million dollar companies should be leeching on tax payer's money. i want a refund.omg
- 4chan is calling... Go be amongst your brethren at /pol/mg33
- why you looking to march for resistance? hahaomg
- Yes I already said you fail to see it's worth, no need to double down with a side of dipshit and a heaping load of butt hurt loser.monospaced
- I see it's worth, but it shouldn't be funded outside of an education budget. I'm surprised it was funded at all. How many other dumb things am I paying for?omg
- You gotta laugh at the fuck tards who argue that it's just .01% of the federal budget as if that's not a lot on a trillion dollar budget.omg
- What moron on Trump's team is coming up with these executive orders? I really can't see Trump driving all these executive orders.utopian
- No you don't see the value or else you wouldn't have that view. It's deplorable.monospaced
- There was a time when your values lived up to its purpose for PBS. Since the internet those values have dithered as anyone can now be their own PBS.omg
- There was a time when people with real values saw the value in things like PBS, but now there are just people like you in charge who fail to see it.monospaced
- And to the point here, same assholes are now taking back protection of national monuments, all in the interest of corporate greed. Only dumbasses support this.monospaced

A Chilling Threat of Political Violence in Portland
- cancelling a parade because of a false conflation of facebook post is not "chilling".lowimpakt
- I like how Richard Spencer the actual White Supremacist anti-semite is called “a Nazi.” as if the quotes are needed. bullshit article to be fairlowimpakt
- conflation, sure.IRNlun6
- "Nazis will not march through Portland." lol. fucking idiots, antifaGnash
- It's interesting that the right spends so much time focusing on this almost-nonexistent group of protesters as if it's some huge threat.yuekit
- lol. jc. typical comment a person who protects terrorists would say. good thing yer not one of those people.omg
- oh noes. alt-right nazi shithead snowflakes afraid they are going to get their heads caved in.face_melter
- nobody here protects terrorists except those trumptards who ignore Christian extremismmonospaced
- https://www.youtube.…Gnash
- almost non-existent? as if it's just antifa shutting down conservative speakers being labeled nazis. at least face_melter admits he's cool with it...IRNlun6
- I do wonder what you're all so afraid of in letting white-supremacists speak. It's not Richard Spencer's arguments can't be easily defeated...IRNlun6
- It's not like his arguments can't be easily defeated.IRNlun6
- supporters of his views are even more almost non-existent than antifa.IRNlun6
- because nobody wants to provide a platform for hate speech, and there is no law forcing them to, that's whymonospaced
- The irrational logic is to disrupt with violence, bomb threats, verbal abuse, hate hoaxes and removing free speech.omg
- That platform would be tiny. His views are nonsensical. It's the mischaracterization of conservatives and forcing them from speaking is the problem.IRNlun6
- It's not a problem actually. If people can't stand a hate speaker, they have the right to try and limit his platform.monospaced
- The fact of the matter is that they have the right to speak or preach their hate all they want. And the public has a right to be offended by it.monospaced
- What I'm saying is that It's not a free speech infringement issue, if that's what you're implying.monospaced
