It should really be blended into "A New week thread" surely the DZ doesn't own its own cloud or server farm. To keep up with trump f*#kups. IMO the picture of trump, the FSB spy and the Russian ambassador laughing it up in the oval office. All when US media...er "Fake Media" is excluded while RT is in the oval office.After firing Comey, after disclosing classified info. Says it all. Meanwhile in the field there are CIA officers with their lives at risk. Troops on the DMZ with their lives at risk. All to protect this idiot.

There are reasons why US media was excluded and RT was allowed to attend. The information revealed by the president, was said to have been provided to the US by an American ally through a highly sensitive intelligence sharing arrangement. The Washington Post said that the partner had not provided permission for the information to be shared with Russia. After the meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and National Security Agency. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-classified-information-russia-intel-white-house-minister-ambassador-lavrov-kislyak-isis-a7737706.html Trump revealed the information to Lavrov while boasting about his own sources of knowledge, according to an official familiar with it. “I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,” Trump reportedly said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4508898/Did-Trump-leak-classified-info-Russians.html Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." Not fit! 5:12 AM - 6 Jul 2016 Paul Ryan ✔ @SpeakerRyan It's simple: Individuals who are ‘extremely careless’ w/ classified info should be denied further access to it. http://spkrryan.us/29Cz47v 5:36 PM - 7 Jul 2016

How about 2 years from now. About 1/2 hour on his other you-tube comments were similarly funny and accurate.

President George W. Bush didn't vote for trump. Millions of other republicans didn't either. Think of the reasons why. Reflect on the whole motivations on WHY the courts have rejected the Muslim travel ban. Er the "pause" in visa referral program study period. Think about Why that is. Political ideology isn't necessary right or left. If you read my posts you could ascertain that in fact I predominantly agree with John McCain. At the same time I think trump is a fascist. 29% of Americans support the Comey firing. 36% supporting trump's job. 25% supporting the Republican amendments to AHC. So when Rushmc mentions the poor track record of Obama and compares him to the dismal start to trump's administration. Sure I'm a liberal.

Shame really, now there will only be RT, Pravda, etc. That really is a surprising development. Paranoia is not limited to Spicer hiding in bushes outside the WH. CNN, Fareed Zakaria, GPS had two former CIA, NSA directors on today. IMO those are the smartest US citizens regarding international Geo-politics. One stated that Russia has more people employed in "framing" politics in foreign governments than it does military personnel. Which suggests a expanded CIA/NSA budget and one less Ford class carrier battle group. Should be the focus of a new budget. As a side note. SNL had a good skit on trump last night. There was another risque joke about trump. Not in the same league as the C**kholster one. But i was surprised none the less. IMO the slippery slope of lack of respect, is accelerating.

Terrible years: unemployment DOWN uninsured DOWN stock market WAY UP GDP UP Military deaths DOWN etc. But poor people are getting medical care at the expense of the state, homosexuals have gained rights, there was talk about immigration reform including a path to citizenship, and worst of all an effort was being made to reduce CO2 emissions. In other words, your nation was about to fall apart from the terrible progressive excesses. I think you mean allowing black,brown and yellow skinned, non Christians into the US. Then even worse than that. Have them gain socioeconomic advantage over white men. Let alone the outrage that Muslims, Mexicans could come to enjoy the same advantages of white men. The horror, the horror. What is also amusing is that this Falwell university would give trump a honorary law degree. Says everything about lawyers, the "university" and trump. Its akin to trump giving himself a Christian minister designate from his own trump university.

I'd guess it was a safety issue to get the jumper to a safe opening altitude in case something went wrong. i.e. oscillation The story lists 10 minutes power so presumably it could have climbed on its own to that altitude. It also lists a useful load of 440 lbs so it should have a good rate of climb with one jumper.

And develop a silently opening parachute? Isn't that called subterminal? Hang a 4 person chairlift under a drone with 9000' capability and you'd have something.

It's official, Trump is the worst President ever at leadership, and the best President ever at running the country the way it isn't supposed to be run. Don't take my word for it, just ask Trump Since he is a known liar he can't be the worst.

Sure, especially for you - as there will not be any maiden in the sky, dressed with the sun and a crown made of stars on her head ... Oh my, even here in Germany we have those false pharisees, selling thier books after the sermon But, if it makes you happy .... What... why wasn't I informed??... What happens Sept. 23?? Should I buy a boat?... Build a bunker?,... Stockpile more guns?...Stockpile more ammo?

I do not believe what you stated. OK, my values regarding President Trump are simple. He is not Hillary Clinton. I pray for him and his administration. I pray that the Lord guides him to make good decisions. He does not have to be perfect. Do not forget, in business you only have to be right 60% of the time to be a winner. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/30/politics/clinton-faith-private/ They on the other hand there is the crotch grabbing, lying, well everyone knows the rest. Not that I am defending HRC. That link was for Ron's benefit. Links and references to trump's once every 5-10 year church attendance have been posted here before.

Nicole Harper, a Missouri woman, shared her story on Facebook about her experience with United Airlines during a flight from Kansas City to Houston when attendants allegedly denied her bathroom use and joked that she should pee in a cup. “While allowing other passengers to get up and use the restroom on a seemingly uneventful flight, United Airlines crew wouldn’t allow me to get up and use the restroom until the pilot turned off the seat belt sign,” Harper wrote on her Facebook. “After explaining that I have an overactive bladder and would either need to use the restroom or pee in a cup, I was handed a cup by flight attendants.” Harper also shared that the incident happened the same day as Dr. Dao’s ordeal but on a different flight... A United spokesperson spoke to Fortune and denied the claims saying, “At no point during the flight did flight attendants suggest that Ms. Harper use cups instead of the lavatory.” http://people.com/chica/united-airlines-responds-to-claim-that-woman-was-forced-to-pee-in-cup/

I'm absolutely disgusted by some of the comments on the website. A criminal is a criminal -- she was convicted and she'll be sentenced. But the racism and other generalizations thrown around in so many of those comments posted is incredibly discouraging. trolls IMO political party is irrelevant to corruption. Just as religion, race, sex, etc. is irrelevant.

Well, it is an insult to the intelligence of 37. As Bill Maher said: "Reagan was ignorant, but not vile. Nixon was vile, but not ignorant. Trump is both vile, and ignorant." Nixon: - Ended the Vietnam war. - Normalized relations with mainland China. - Had the last truly balanced budget (side effect of ending the war). Trump will never approach those accomplishments. Reagan may not have the sheer brains of Bill Clinton. Reagan allowed the debt to get out of control. Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, a 186 percent increase from the $998 billion debt at the end of Carter's last budget, FY 1981. See Did Reaganomics Work? https://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296 He missed the Wikipedia top 1/4 of all US presidents by one place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States I personally liked Reagan because he had superb interpersonal skills. He surrounded himself by excellent people and Nancy was a superb backstop. She was the full equal to Michelle Obama. The end of the cold war was of course on Regan's watch. Credit to him, is open to debate. But he deserves some.

Has anyone else noticed that he's the only one defending Trump? While it's entirely possible he's just doing it to be contrarian and argumentative, it is kind of funny that all the other staunch right wing conservatives have fallen silent. At least in defense of Trump. There's still a few "Obama did it" or "Clinton did it" comments, but that's about it. Why people respond to Rush at all is beyond me... My blood pressure has certainly gone down since I started ignoring his tripe in here. Like I said in another thread, every single reply of his is a formulaic rehash of about 8 standard retorts, none of which bring anything new to the conversation. That isn't a discussion among adults - it's the blathering of an 8 year old. You guys realize that you'll NEVER get his to change his opinion, right? He doesn't want a discussion. He doesn't want different sources of information. He's the political equivalent of a religious fundamentalist. Just ignore him and he'll eventually go away. Just ignore him and he'll eventually go away. I disagree with this. Miracles only occur once every couple thousand years. Its very difficult for trump supporters to defend him and as his actions become more and more bizarre. Embarrassing to admit you are a trump supporter. He could have been an agent for change and likely changed the makeup of the supreme court. Fixing the ACA act will be up to congress. Overhauling waste in Washington is now so thoroughly derailed thats its an afterthought. Be it in France, Great Britain, or the US. A large segment of the population needs to have their positions better represented. Free trade and globalization has made some industries very profitable. At the expense of loosing industries. trump's actions are destroying any chance of enhancing, overhauling or bettering. Millions of Americans, who voted for him and who deserve protection. Deserve legislation that focuses government, law and taxes to drive jobs in new areas, new industries. That sets aside of course the damage that all this is doing in an already polarized constituency.

President Trump is besieged by internal leaks as he tries to weather the fallout from his firing of FBI Director James Comey. Media reports about the run-up to Trump’s decision paint him as isolated and consumed by anger and paranoia, prompting questions from Trump allies about whose interests these government officials had in mind when they spoke to the press.... The conflict with Comey appears to have launched a new round of leaks from the Justice Department and the FBI. Citing sources close to Comey or lawmakers in touch with the FBI and DOJ, media outlets ran with stories about how Comey was fired because the administration felt the noose tightening on the Russia investigation.... “It’s image-making on the inside and people trying to protect themselves. There is a deep streak of paranoia among staff. The communications team shit the bed on the Comey firing and now the war with the FBI has them all scared and throwing each other under the bus. "Thank God I don’t work there. If I did, I’d be dialing up my attorney.” The behind-the-scenes stories that gripped Washington on Thursday were relayed to the press in the publications and news outlets Trump loves to hate — the New York Times and Washington Post. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/333031-trumps-comey-firing-sets-off-new-round-of-leaks

WASHINGTON — Only seven days after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as president, James B. Comey has told associates, the F.B.I. director was summoned to the White House for a one-on-one dinner with the new commander in chief. The conversation that night in January, Mr. Comey now believes, was a harbinger of his downfall this week as head of the F.B.I., according to two people who have heard his account of the dinner. As they ate, the president and Mr. Comey made small talk about the election and the crowd sizes at Mr. Trump’s rallies. The president then turned the conversation to whether Mr. Comey would pledge his loyalty to him. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/11/us/politics/trump-comey-firing.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0 Mr. Comey declined to make that pledge. Instead, Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not “reliable” in the conventional political sense.

Agree. Its the same as the WH and all the leaks that flood out of it like water down the Mississippi river. But its not as much payback as people that want to ensure that obstacles...obstruction of justice don't impede the truth. For certain this week Attorney General Jeff Sessions was disclosed to be a pandering, puppet of trump. Liar as well, but thats part of the protocol.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-trumps-financial-ties-to-russia-and-his-unusual-flattery-of-vladimir-putin/2016/06/17/dbdcaac8-31a6-11e6-8ff7-7b6c1998b7a0_story.html?utm_term=.f9379f2ada6a Russians are not the only American adversaries to support Trump’s business. The state-owned Central Bank of China has loaned Trump hundreds of millions of dollars. The New York Times has reported that American companies owned by Trump have at least $650 million in debt and the Bank of China is among the lenders. Voters need to know how much Trump and his businesses owe Chinese banks as well as Russian oligarchs. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/302216-how-much-money-does-the-trump-organization-owe

99.99% of the time i don't. At her age prison should be suitable. Imagine a congresswoman's pension($74,000 a year). Yet still needs to steal from a charity.

Comey's firing has brought out lies from the everyone involved. Oh well, another day at the office. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/333008-white-houses-fbi-story-unravels Poor Sean, under the stress from lying he has to hide in the bushes of the WH. Everyone speculating if he is the next to be fired: White House says rumored Spicer replacement ‘wrong’: report http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/333054-white-house-says-rumored-spicer-replacement-wrong-report All while he is off serving in the USN reserve. Back to trump. Unknown to all he is also a mechanical engineer as well! President Trump said he has told the Navy to return to decades-old steam-powered catapult technology to launch aircraft from the new Gerald Ford-class aircraft carriers, rather than use a new digital launch system. “It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, ‘What system are you going to be—‘ ‘Sir, we’re staying with digital.’ I said, ‘No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good.’ http://thehill.com/policy/defense/333040-trump-wants-goddamned-steam-catapults-on-new-aircraft-carriers

Congrats, you post about a democrat Even though CBS leaves that out.... "Brown, a Democrat who represented the Florida district that included Jacksonville since 1993," from the story. IMO a politician who steals from a charity is akin to a child molester.
