More fun from Rogue POTUS staff: Trump once again declines to read intelligence briefing, more interested in suggesting his clothing line to staffers and getting pouty that Arnold Schwarzenegger called him out in a Twitter video.
You're our largest trading partner. Canada right now feels like a teenager in the back seat after watching daddy drain a bottle of rye and say to mom in the front seat, "watch this" and flooring it towards a 90 degree turn with a moose in the way. On black ice.

No, I figured exactly this was going to happen. People kept going on about Hilary's "Wall Street pals" and I kept thinking, "Trump basically IS Wall Street." It doesn't surprise me in the least that he's going to abuse his power in order to make his own businesses and his buddies as much money as possible. I just hoped that maybe there might be ways the opposition could stop him, but he's basically steamrolling everything.

I did a search and went all the way back to february of 2016 trying to figure out who you're addressing here with this comment, but nobody seemed to fit the bill.
"But her e-mails!"
I can't remember where I read the article, but it basically posited that since Trump has been elected, he and his administration have been treating it the same way that corporate takeovers usually go, that is:
- Assume power
- Install your cronies into as many of the decision-making roles of the slave company as possible
- Keep the slave company running on the thinnest of margins possible while diverting as much of the resources/profit as possible into the coffers of the master company
- When the slave company fails, too bad, guess everyone has to go under, too bad we couldn't save it, we tried, we promise
- Withdraw tentacles back into safety of master company
- Keep all that harvested wealth
- Find a new company to take over, repeat.
Oh dear, @Dave's talking to ghosts again. Well, at his age, at least he's wearing pants.

It came from somewhere else but I don't like to argue with stupid so I vented here instead.
Because sending a show of force into an area where the people are angry at authorities for abusing power ALWAYS turns out well.

They are creating a federal task force to deal with violence in a city that is not even in the top 10 for the murder rate per capita. The ONLY reason they are picking Chicago is because of Obama's ties to the city and because it was an alt-right rallying cry about the minorities and violence.[DOUBLEPOST=1486170623,1486170524][/DOUBLEPOST]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

The list only looks at cities over 100k population. Camden's murder rate doubled in 2016, from what I google.
We're #1! We're #1!
...wait, that's not good.
(Not surprising, though, because the year before they cut their police force by 42%. Not that Lord Dampnut would try to clean up his own backyard first.)

Well, in the meantime, please endeavor to do your utmost to avoid getting murdered to death, grab a Bartles and Jaymes to drown out the constant cacophony of gunshots and screaming, and thank you for your support.
Didn't Trump say a while back that the laws about conflict of interest aren't applied to the President, so he doesn't actually have to divest, but he'll be doing it because he's such a nice guy?
So duh, of course he'd only do enough to seem he did it, but not really...
Yeah, but constitutionally the president cannot profit from the presidency.
Welcome to Trump's America, where the law's made up and the Constitution doesn't matter.
He's been pretty blatant about keeping all of it. He's essentially going to spend the presidency squeezing every penny he can from America into his own funds while letting Bannon transform all non-financial aspects.
"FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, YOU MADE ME GIVE UP MY PEANUT FARM!!!!"
He didn't have an (R) next to name. As someone else said, the election where the Republicans get the popular vote while the Democrats win the electoral college will be the last election we see the electoral college.
Just a primer for you; when President Bush visited Halifax to give a 15 minute speech to thank us for our actions during 9/11 they took over 30 rooms in our hotel for two weeks to build the emergency facility for the travelling press corps.
Guess what hotels the celebrity president is visiting this weekend?

I didn't know Bush was on the old forum.
There's no Trump Halifax?
No, we have taste.There's no Trump Halifax?
We do? I thought you lived in Dartmouth?
We live next to Sydeny Crosby out in the country. And by that I mean if I got a telescope and stood on my roof with a ladder I could see his house.We do? I thought you lived in Dartmouth?
