45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. (Vol 6)
Discussion
One of trumps latest tweets promoted Pat Buchanan's article
https://vdare.com/articles/patrick-j-buchanan-memo...
the column the president is quoting is a white nationalist screed, complete with paraphrased “white genocide” nonsense, about how the presence of people of color is bad for America.
"The more multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural, multilingual America becomes—the less it looks like Ronald Reagan's America—the more dependably Democratic it will become.
The Democratic Party is hostile to white men, because the smaller the share of the U.S. population that white men become, the sooner that Democrats inherit the national estate.
The only way to greater "diversity," the golden calf of the Democratic Party, is to increase the number of women, African-Americans, Asians and Hispanics, and thereby reduce the number of white men."
That old racism just bubbling along with trump, then his further racist attack on Warren...

If there was a real "national emergency" at our border would the President be sitting alone in the White House sending tweets making fun of people? NO. Because we don't have a national emergency at the border.
But we do have a national embarrassment at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Truly embarrassing.
Arse-clenchingly embarrassing.... but only to those with a modicum of dignity, self-respect, and self-awareness. Things which Trump and his core supporters lack. That's why there have been umpteen examples of embarrassing behaviour over the past two years and why there will be umpteen more over the next two.Sadly, nobody cares any more about "embarrassing", or corrupt, or even "traitorous".
I asked about support for Trump and they all felt that it was waning - the guy from Florida said he had friends who voted Trump so as to not get Clinton but a couple are now fully behind any republican but Trump and others are wavering too
The guys in Mexico think he's a f
king idiot and Eric also earned some choice words as he had just made his comment about zoos working cos the keep the animals caged...ETA - complete sentence

Sigh.
Just read the President of the United States latest tweets.
The country is is the midst of the longest shutdown in history, and all he can do is sit in his gilded palace and bully/attack/make fun of people whilst referencing white supremacists.
It is indeed another sad day for America.

....Border is eventually going to be militarized and defended or the United States, as we have known it, is going to cease to exist...And Americans will not go gentle into that good night. Patrick Buchanan. The great people of our Country demand proper Border Security NOW!
So now he wants a militarised border? Like North Koreas?
All borders are militarised, to an extent. It's the Royal Navy that patrols the English Channel and North Sea. The RAF intercepts the Russian reconaissence aircraft.Has he been watching Independence day?

Well, he is probably inclined to close down the overseas bases the US operates, particularly in Europe. This is a huge operation that he doesn't appreciate the complexity of. Obviously he is not the first President to want to scale back on US forces overseas, but one of the blocks, in Europe at least, is the numbers of troops based there. If they are not in Europe, where are they accomodated? US forces have been in Europe so long, the who structure of their land and air forces has evolved around that as being a near permanent state of affairs.
So given his own previous line of work, he might view this as just a simple real estate proposition; open up or expand new bases in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, but not California, and have them protecting the Homeland, even if they are pay clerks etc. There are 32,000 troops in Germany. the Pentagon is currently conducting a cost analysis is withdrawing them or reducing that number, which might include redeployment to Poland. There are around 400-450,000 US troops deployed world wide (all arms). Its not inconceivable that this President might want all or most of them home in the next 18 months. And he is no longer in reeipt of mitigating advice. The practical question is where are they going to live, in the US (he won't want to whittle down the numbers). The US military does have a formidable capability to quickly establish operational facilities. So expect to see large chunks of desert in the US turned into something resembling Western Iraq. Yes, it would be a crazy, destablizing policy, that will likely weaken the security of the US (and its allies, but they matter little).
And its Pork barrel politics. Increased domestic basing tends to boost the economies of local towns. So I don't expect local politicians would be too opposed to this. If he can't get a fence, then start digging tank berns and ditches. Thats something the DoD can do.

Well, trump did suggest there will be riots if he is impeached, he's already started to wind up his trumpettes
“I’m not concerned, no,” the president told Reuters reporters about his potential impeachment during an interview in the Oval Office. “I think that the people would revolt if that happened.”

Notice that trump didn't say no when asked if he was a russian agent - he said he was insulted to be asked
There have been a couple of references to Trump refusing to outright deny being a Russian stooge? It has been picked up several times and even his own Press Office?“I’m not concerned, no,” the president told Reuters reporters about his potential impeachment during an interview in the Oval Office. “I think that the people would revolt if that happened.”

I wonder though, why is this a big deal when he is happy to lie his 4rse off whenever it suits him and would even tell his followers that the Sun sets in the East if it suited him and everyone else is wrong....
The man sees nothing whatsoever wrong with bare faced lies so I don't think he was evading directly answering the point about being a Russian Mole. It didn't occur to him and he 'doubled down' rather than bother denying it or simply answering?
There is enough evidence of his stupidity and childlike behaviour without finding more sticks to beat the idiot with where there isn't one?

Trump twice told a story last week about a 16-year-old being "brutally murdered" and "viciously, violently killed" by MS-13 members on Wednesday. The 16-year-old is alive and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.http://longisland.news12.com/story/39776553/suffol...
“I never worked for Russia,” Trump tells reporters on the South Lawn, adding that it’s a disgrace that anyone would ask him that.
I think this was after the Today show said: “The point we have reached now is this – the president of the United States asked directly on Fox News whether he is a Russian agent.”

CBS/60 minutes ran a report saying that during the first two years of the Trump admin, the House Oversight Dems made 64 requests for subpoenas and the Republican chairmen blocked all of them.
As ranking Democrat on the House oversight committee, Cummings made 64 requests for subpoenas on things like White House security clearances, hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, and the Justice Department's refusal to defend the Affordable Care Act. All of them were blocked by the Republican chairman.
