Mr. Trumps business success is not due so much to his brilliance and innovative thought as it is his ability to bluff, con and bully. None of these skills are very useful in finding common ground to build upon and reach a consensus through compromise, which is what our government is based upon. Nor are they ideal attributes for reassuring our allies, continuing to earn their trust and faith. Quote:
It's funny how both liberals and conservatives see the "establishment" as representing the views of the opposition. Last edited by hound dog; July 6th, 2017 at 01:40 PM.. |

Slight oversight?
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/...cid=spartanntp
Apparently the administration forgot to book a room in Hamburg for president Trump while attending the G20 summit. The president doesn't own any hotels in Germany, and it seems Hamburg hotels are completely booked up for the summit. It's currently not known where he will be staying. Perhaps the Saudi King, who is known to book entire hotels for himself, will allow President Trump to bunk in one of his empty rooms. |

I don't see the problem with being a centrist, when either extreme seem a bit deranged to me. And if there is no compromise we're left with grid-lock, that's not preferable to me. Grid-lock is nothing but stagnation, compromise has a chance to eventually find an acceptable solution for a majority of the people, which is what I think legislation should be all about. I have never understood why the centrist 50 plus% can't work together, and tell either extreme to bugger off, instead of dividing themselves and pandering to a group who doesn't quite give either interest the control they need to push their more extreme agenda's. |

For decades the centre ground has been dominated by corrupt and dishonest politicians who do not serve the people. The awful Grenfell Tower disaster has started to become a meme for this establishment betrayal. Money available for gimcrack flashing cladding panels which make it look like you have improved the building. No money available for safety to protect the residents from fire risk. Never mind the tyres which wont pass the next MOT or the worn out brake pads. I want a state-of-the-art sound system and magnesium alloy wheels (but no spare tyre or jack). Our values are false and our priorities are very unprincipled and out of whack. We need to reconsider who we are and what are the things which matter. Having principles is necessary in order to define priorities responsibly. We have been led to this point by people claiming to represent us, so I cannot claim to feel surprised by the current popular mood.

Maybe that explains all the hostility, neither left or right centrist's can get their ultimate wishes through without cooperation from the other, boiling over into the frustration we see today as we are all denied that ultimate wish whatever it may be.

Those banks must have lent an awful lot of money at a very good interest rate. Wonder where that shows up on the tax forms. |

Trump spars with Chelsea Clinton over Ivanka's G20 seat
US President Donald Trump and former first daughter Chelsea Clinton have sparred over his decision to seat his daughter at a summit of world leaders. Mr Trump tweeted that his decision to allow his daughter to take his seat at the meeting in Hamburg was "very standard". He also said the media would have cheered "CHELSEA FOR PRES!" if Hillary Clinton had made the same choice. Chelsea Clinton tweeted back that her parents would never have done so. Ivanka Trump was criticised online after taking her father's seat between the British prime minister and the Chinese president at the G20 summit in Germany on Saturday as her father sat for a one-on-one meeting with the Indonesian president. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40561077 Donald Trump Jr faces calls to testify before Senate over Russia meeting Donald Trump’s son is facing calls to testify before the US Senate about his meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton during last year’s presidential election, and a leading Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee said he wanted to speak to him. Trump Jr attended the meeting – allegedly brokered by a British music publicist – with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a lawyer who reportedly has ties to the Kremlin. Paul Manafort, who was the Trump campaign’s chairman at the time, and Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were also present. The revelation, first reported by the New York Times, was the first public evidence that members of the Trump campaign were willing to accept Russian assistance. A senior Republican on the Senate intelligence committee demanded that Trump Jr appear on Capitol Hill and testify under oath. Details: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ton-statements

How much time has he spent on the golf course so far?
Apparently our president has thus far spent 22% of his time in office on the golf course.
And by how well he did at the G20 summit, it shows. https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-tr...154100352.html |
