THE ERA OF TRUMP

You're not old enough for that quote, so I'm giving major props to your hippy-dip parents. Good folks, obviously. :salute:

Between 70 and 85 percent of illegals cross the border on foot.

The Pew Report disagrees.

The most interesting part of the report is the news that our illegal immigrant population is now more diverse — Mexicans now make up just 52 percent of that group, compared to 57 percent in 2007 — and is more often arriving legally and overstaying temporary visas than sneaking across the border. The Pew Report states that "The vast majority of unauthorized immigrants entered the country without valid documents or arrived with valid visas but stayed past their visa expiration date or otherwise violated the terms of their admission."

It's really not. The electoral map sweep doesn't tell the part where he barely eeked out victories in most of those states. Half the country found Clinton more palatable than Trump. He's not very popular. These penis-size tantrums are not helping him look like a leader for those people. It's disgusting.

I want him to shut up, stop telling the media they have no right to cover his presidency and man up.... Grown men do not behave like children. He's been blathering on and on how he had a constant standing ovation at the CIA meeting, but the top guys in the CIA say it didn't happen and that his visit made relations between the WH and CIA worse.

He's truly delusional.

You know he's not reading this, so all your attempts at demeaning his manhood are wasted, right?

Also, the top guys in the CIA are the ones who failed to get Hillary elected. Only a fool would put stock in their reports.

Sigh

A former division chief said: “It was good that he came, but it came across as very political. He didn’t understand his audience, which is the most apolitical crowd in Washington.” This former official’s first reaction was that “it was so inappropriate, what he said and where he said it.” But later, after surveying a range of colleagues, he said that the reaction overall was “a mix of cautious gratitude and bemused acceptance, along with disappointment and worse.”

Dude, I was raised on SNL, you think I wasn't getting to stay up late to watch SNL in the late seventies? Guess again, hippy dippy free reign parents for the win. Heck, they fell asleep on the couch before I did, it's not like I was waking them up to inform them that it was past my bedtime.

Federal employees do not sit in the presence of the president unless he tells them to sit down. He didn't tell them to sit down. That's not a standing ovation, Capps. Geez.

Whatever. Who cares? So they were already standing when they gave him a standing ovation, yawnville. This is the shit you are getting upset about? Your priorities are fucked lady.

[Okeefenokee]

No. You mistake my tone. I'm not upset. I'm disgusted that this man turns everything into a dick measuring contest. If it's NO BIG DEAL than why does he keep talking about his huge standing ovation? Seriously.

It doesn't matter to you Trumpologists that he lies to the public so blatantly. He's got the bigliest ego. Believe me. It needs constant stroking and Melania isn't there to do it.

Yeah, because Obama never sought any attention, except for the thousand times he did, and the media had nothing to say but,

Prove it.

When did I praise Obama and for what? You'll have to tell me what you think I said, because I likely didn't say it. See my sig line.

ETA - it's literally either/or for you people. Why can't I hate both teams? Does it truly destroy your personal narrative that if I'm not 100% supportive of your guy, it must mean I'm in love with the other guy? You'll all have to trust that people do exist that see both parties as evil.

For the first time in my adult life, I am utterly unsure about the markets. I've been eying buying--especially fun stuff like Colorado marijuana--but instead have left nearly everything alone, just reinvesting the steady dividends. I anticipate a hit, however, and soon, but it's really just shits and giggles for me.
I'd like to see WALL BONDS with a serious inflation indexed return!

They should sell bricks like they did the Washington Monument. I'm fairly sure we could crowd source a few Pepe bricks.
