why does Trump care about not having racist label

He is a Racist and for openly courts other racists.

So why is he afraid of the label?

I think he wants to go ahead and embrace it.. I think he wants to .. He is itching to go out an call Obama the N word. His base will kiss his feet and worship the ground he will walk on if he does that. They will make him a Demi God and that is what he wants.

The fact that he hasn't done it gives me hope that we still have a country left worth saving

Democrats are joining Republicans to gut Dodd Frank

I really don't get this..
What the hell is wrong with them..

WASHINGTON — The most significant attempt to loosen rules imposed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis is underway in Congress as the Senate looks to pass legislation within the next month that would roll back restrictions on swaths of the finance industry.

Buoyed by their success in rewriting the tax code, the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers have now set their sights on helping the financial industry, which has been engaged in a quiet but concerted push to relax many post-crisis rules and regulatory obligations, particularly for thousands of small- and medium-sized banks.

But unlike the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul, which passed along party lines, the effort to loosen the post-crisis rules is somewhat bipartisan. A group of Senate Democrats has joined Republicans to support legislation that would mark the first major revision of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, a signature accomplishment of President Barack Obama that has been deemed “a disaster” by President Trump.

Though Donald Trump is president .. mainstream media /Democrats should not refer to him as such.

Dont call him Mr.President or President Trump.

Everyone from editorials, to cable news anchors to congressman and senators. NOT EVEN in official documents.

For one, he is totally undeserving of the office, second, used assist from Putin and Finally since loves dishing out nicknames -deserves one too. He doesn't feel like upholding any kind of tradition - why the fuck should anyone else.

Everyone should call what the feel like . Anything but the two above.

There are many fine names that fit very well.

Shithead, Pussygrabber , Putinboy or whatthefuckever.

Just not President.

I had called up my Republican Rep's office this AM

He put out a statement on FB & Twitter .. I guess he's been hearing from a bunch of his constituents



Congressman Leonard Lance

I highly criticize any such remarks made by POTUS — beneath the office and unhelpful to critical immigration negotiations.
America’s greatness is in large part because we are a Nation that welcomes the best and brightest in the world, regardless of country of origin.
Let’s stop incendiary rhetoric and work toward DACA/border security solution ASAP. — L.L.



I am going to call again - He needs to lead by sponsoring a Censure against this Shit sitting in the whitehouse.

I apologise to MLK , Mahatma Gandhi , Mandela , Dalai Lama and all other great men

Who have asked us to rise beyond hatred.


Iam trying to but am faling badly at the overwhelming feel of hatred I feel for many Republicans now who in their overt support or muted non-response have thrown their lot with the darkest forces known to mankind.

I know I am supposed to hate the sin and not the sinner and all .. but right now I can't separate the two.

Looks like a shutdown is likely.. now that DACA deal has been blown to bits

Will voters blame Democrats despite being in the minority in both houses.

For me personally, I don't care about the blame as much as I do about the impact on people relying on federal checks in their mail.

Do we have a moral obligation to prevent shutdown?

Revisiting .. should we give Trump his lousy wall to secure DACA

I think we should.

We can kill the wall next year.

New fortune at the end of your urethra...



Companies that set up urine testing labs breathlessly pitch how lucrative the business can be: “15 samples per day could yield $800,000 in profit!”



https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/27/business/urine-test-cost.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&_r=0


It is amazing .. that how companies without really innovating , are able to capture enormous rents ..

Nothing in those tests are new .. what is new is a requirement that health insurance cover drug rehab .. this has led to a skyrocketing prices for testing given the number of drug addicts ..

So a measure meant to help addiction has turned in to a gold mine for drug testing ..

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ..or at least single payer who can put these bloody leeches in their fucking places..
