the god damn problem with independents is they don't do the whole tribal strength in number bit. so we get mindless jerkoffs on one side or the other who fall inline with a marketing term the followers cant even coherently explain. who have no idea of philosophy or political philosophy and simply tie it to there idea of a self. The way they perceive their identity. They absolutely could careless of the outcomes of there choices, just the intentions and social status of such things.
- 2 party politics is far worse as current times are illustrating so clearly.fadein11
- everything ive seen from u fade fits the mold u have a team versus philosophydeathboy
- but tribal man largely stands on the back of its independents. it is the small population of independents who have risen mandeathboy
- not sure what you mean but I agree everything starts with individuals.fadein11
- whats a team versus philosophy?fadein11
- a team as a party regardless of reason.deathboy
- my experience is you agree with all that is liberal and disagree with all that is conservative. reason and philosophy doesnt matter. identity is kingdeathboy
- do u think trump FAA deal is a good thing?deathboy
- have to say I know little about that. I take on board your criticism though. and I have learnt a fair bit arguing with the brighter people on here.fadein11
- I'm prob on the hippy end of the spectrum which is a fantasy I know. But I will attack misguided bigots at any opportunity. there is a massive brainwashingfadein11

- others in me. Have a good day.fadein11
- oh your not even US? must be EU im guessing?deathboy
- and remember the path to hell is paved with good intentions. The intention is not a result. The result matters. Few politicans get that.some do and dont caredeathboy
- u can trace most all of policy based on good intentions into policy that has hurt people. what ruined our healthcare. medicare/medicaid, wage rulesdeathboy
- well intended but irresponsible and irrational. a trademark of the political elitedeathboy
- and if are outside us your liberal is different. are u more labour party?deathboy

This exchange between Trump and Buzz Aldrin....
COLONEL ALDRIN: Infinity and beyond. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: This is infinity here. It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something -- but it could be infinity, right?
- Thought this was a joke at first...I guess I should know better by now.yuekit
- Well. An announcement (and likely executive order) absolutely devoid of any substance to speak of. Delivered by an intellectual cripple.Continuity
- Trump needs to have the last word. So he'll have the last word even if it's nonsense.dorf

Trump overrules cabinet, plots global trade war
With the political world distracted by President Trump's media wars, one of the most consequential and contentious internal debates of his presidency unfolded during a tense meeting Monday in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, administration sources tell Axios.
The outcome, with a potentially profound effect on U.S. economic and foreign policy, will be decided in coming days.
With more than 20 top officials present, including Trump and Vice President Pence, the president and a small band of America First advisers made it clear they're hell-bent on imposing tariffs — potentially in the 20% range — on steel, and likely other imports.
The penalties could eventually extend to other imports. Among those that may be considered: aluminum, semiconductors, paper, and appliances like washing machines.
One official estimated the sentiment in the room as 22 against and 3 in favor — but since one of the three is named Donald Trump, it was case closed.
The reason, we're told: Trump's base — which drives more and more decisions, as his popularity sinks — likes the idea, and will love the fight.
The problem, according to top officials who argued strenuously that the move is ill-advised: The trade war wouldn't just affect China. The collateral damage would include a slew of allies, including Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom.
- It's cool. If he wants to do that, he can go ahead. Everyone else will trade amongst themselves, and he can watch as Rome burns, so to speak.Continuity

- FFS what petulant childRamanisky2
- So strange, the press has been so fair and respectful to him.robotron3k
- ^ This is what I don't get about Trump followers. When you have someone who accuses women of being on their period because they asked him tough questions,yuekit
- says the first black president is a Kenyan illegal immigrant, just to scratch the surface of a long series of lies and controversies, WTF did you expect?yuekit
- ^ There are probably much you don't understand about the female body. Maybe try a book instead of the glory hole of Trump supporters.omg
- Trump has demanded nor earned respect. His was a campaign of being an utter asshole and he still uses the "but, he started it" excuse like a child.monospaced
- This whole victimization narrative is so ridiculous...as is you expected the press to just solemnly and respectively report that Obama is indeed a Kenyan andyuekit
- climate change is made up, just because Trump said so. Is that the kind of society you want to live in, where the media just uncritically repeats whatever theyuekit
- person in power says?yuekit
- Obama is Kenyan. You thought he was Hawaiian this whole time?omg
- Given he's got a Hawai'i birth certificate, I'd say it's safe to assume he was born there. Now we know for sure you're just a fucking troll.Continuity
- It's interesting how robotron didn't respond and suddenly omg appears with his gibberish. I guess he didn't have a good answer.yuekit
- Nah, he had to log out of the robotron account to log in as the omg one, to keep up the illusion.Continuity
- hey omg, Obama is an American, end of story, and he was a better leader than trump will ever be, and he never once tweeted shit like this despite the hatemonospaced
- The Kenyan/ Caucasian was born in Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital.omg
- the press is free to be critical of the president. when trump alleged obama wasn't a u.s. citizen, was that respectful?dorf
- at least according to the birth certificate provided which was also said to be possibly counterfeit.omg
- Oh so when Hillary Clinton and her supporters raises questions about Obama's citizenship that's okay, but if Trump does it years after, it's disrespectful?omg
- "But but...whatabout..." is literally the only response you guys have to anything.yuekit
- The point is, if you act like a idiot and spew lies and insults constantly, it should be the least surprising thing in the world that you get some criticism.yuekit
- At least Trump was on an opposing side against Obama. What's Hillary's excuse, other than being a Democratic hypocrite that will shame the DNC for many years.omg
- Don't waste your energy, chaps. This one's not worth it.Continuity
- Continuity says, "safe space shields up!"omg
- hey omg, Obama is 100% American and always has beenmonospaced
- And while one person on hillarys staff may have mentioned Obama citizenship in passing many years ago, they did not press the issue beyond that like trump didmonospaced
- You thinking you need to reiterate Obama being American says you are trying to deny his Kenyan and Caucasian heritage.omg
- While trying to make him sound like a descendant of the Polynesian island that only recently became a U.S. state.omg
- I'm just saying, he's American, despite what terminology you use. Pointing out he's of African descent is about the must idiotic thing you can do.monospaced
- I'm not denying his heritage, and your implication that I am just makes you look like a bigger moron than before.monospaced
- Pointing out that he is in fact a partly black man is not only insanely obvious, it's pointless and irrelevant in every fucking conceivable way. Just like you.monospaced
- Do you think it makes you smarter, when you call others stupid?omg
- Someone recognizing Trump's heritage as German and Scottish is okay, but Obama being born in Kapiolani, with Kenya / Kansas heritage is wrong?omg
- First you have a problem with him being Kenyan, and now you have a problem with him being partly Kenyan?omg
- @yuekit - fake news?omg
- Once again. You're missing the point. Trump implied he was not American. That is what we are discussing, unless you're too stupid to realize.monospaced
- Trump himself was eventually forced to admit the birther thing was fake, so are you calling Trump a liar omg?yuekit
- On a timeline of events, there's a before and after Obama produced a birth certificate. BTW, It only took 3 years.omg
- Trump also said, "How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived"omg
- he also said, "An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud."omg
- He dropped that idea leaving folks with the reality that Hillary Clinton started the birther movement. Trump succeeded where Clinton failed.omg
- Scientists still claim the certificates were false. IDK. Trump dropped the idea, but folks pick it back up to use non-issues against Trump. why?omg
- So now you don't know if it's fake or not? But Trump said very clearly last fall that Obama was born in America.yuekit
- How dare you disrespect our President and Emperor, Donald J. Trump. I think you should apologize.yuekit
- Well if you agree with science, then those certificates are fake. What i'm not denying is Obama family are members of the Luo peopleomg
- @yuekit. calm down. I'm not trying to disrespect your president AND emperor Trump. My sincerest apologies.omg
- I'm still confused though, is the birth certificate real or was Trump wrong? I realize this is a difficult one for you hahayuekit

Germany cuts off speech by Trump's commerce secretary
The U.S. commerce secretary was cut off in mid-speech during a video feed to an event hosted by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, underscoring how German patience with attacks on the country’s trade surplus is fraying.
Attendees at the Christian Democratic Union’s business conference in Berlin laughed and clapped when organizers faded out Wilbur Ross after about 20 minutes for overstepping his time limit.
- Nice to see Trump has succeeded at making the U.S. respected around the world again after the terrible Obama years.

At this point, if the rest of the world are clever — and I sincerely hope they are — they would give Trump exactly the same treatment Hollywood gave him. Ignore him, don't include him or even invite him to anything. Treat him like the pathetic little man-baby he is, and make him have a fucking time-out for the rest of his miserable term, however long that may be.
Any new international treaties, any new big deals, any new agreements, any major summits, any initiatives meant to make this world a better place ... just simply don't invite him. Exclude him. The rest of the world doesn't have time for him. Leave him behind.
Those of you in the US ... it's only going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid.

remember when clinton was being accused of being unpresidential because he played the saxophone on television?
good times.
- BJs in the White House offices is still presidential tho...robotron3k

- If Hillary was giving the BJ, I'm sure that would be acceptable.omg
- was that a joke? hard to tell because it isn't funny and makes no sense.monospaced
- Hillary giving BJs instead of Monica Lewinsky in the White House would have been more presidential apparently.omg
