Shryke Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Trump on PR: Quote President Trump told Puerto Rico officials they should feel proud that hadn’t lost thousands of lives like in “a real catastrophe like Katrina,” and also said the devastated island territory was throwing the nation’s budget “a little out of whack” during his first visit there since Hurricane Maria ravaged the island nearly two weeks ago. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praises-himself-for-administrations-great-job-in-puerto-rico/2017/10/03/fdb5eeb4-a83a-11e7-8ed2-c7114e6ac460_story.html In case you thought Trump wasn't a monstrously evil narcissist.

Yup, and his tone deafness is exacerbated by the fact that his only real talents are in marketing and sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Here is another feather in their cap. The US rejects a UN resolution condemning the use of the death penalty against LGBTQ people https://thinkprogress.org/united-nations-gay-death-penalty-36e6a5101ec9/amp/ Quote Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE were among the 13 countries that joined the United States in rejecting the resolution, which was introduced by Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, and Switzerland. A total of 27 countries supported it. The resolution notably doesn’t call for the end to the death penalty. It simply condemns its usage in a discriminatory fashion. Besides the implications for people with same-sex orientations, ILGA also notes that when used to punish adultery, the death penalty is disproportionately imposed on women.

Uh, if you do not want to discuss anything on this site other than things directly related to Westeros, simply stay out of the General Chatter area. Discussing things unrelated to Westeros is precisely what General Chatter is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So for Orange Thingy's Vegas visit tomorrow, after he tells LV again what a 'miracle ' the shooting was......... he would be free to spend some quality time with big GOP donors like Steve Wynn and Sheldon Anderson. Then he could go visit Cliven Bundy's clan and spend some time comforting them that their 2nd Amendment rights will remain intact. It should be a Wynn/win all around.

OldGimletEye Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Kasich says, “Uh, I’m starting to think that the Republican Party is one sorry ass organization.” http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/10/01/john_kasich_hints_he_may_leave_the_gop_if_the_party_can_t_be_fixed.html Quote Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been one of the most vocal opponents to President Donald Trump within the Republican Party. And now he is making it clear that he could be willing to leave the GOP if things keep going down the current path. “If the party can't be fixed, Jake, then I'm not going to be able to support the party,” Kasich told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “Period. That's the end of it.” As far as fixing the Republican Party, I think you're going to need a blow torch and a few gallons of jet fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It looks like Obama drove the Republicans insane with Obamacare and the Iran deal. Like it or not, they are living Obama's world on healthcare and Iran. Love how Trump threw a big tantrum, but was forced to cave to his advisers.

Let him leave the GOP, he's still a shit. He's as bad as any of them. Another restrictive, grossly anti-choice measure has passed in Ohio, one that further limits women’s access to healthcare–and again, the law passed at the hands of Governor John Kasich. Ohio Gov. John Kasich denied he acted out of partisanship when he signed a bill that reduced access to voting in the crucial swing state. Governor John Kasich’s new tax proposal will make Ohio’s growing income inequality worse and still doesn’t raise enough revenue to fund crucial programs. Kasich, stfu already.
