Watching the Piano Guys perform at the Liberty Ball... Just a coincidence they are playing Hillary's "fight song" theme??? Excellent troll!!
What real solution?People starving for work they no longer have are not prone to... delicate times.
Obama rallied their hopes in 2008, Trump did so again in 2016...
We must be prepared to present the American people a real solution next time.
Can anyone tell me where in the country is this hellscape that Trump sees?
Does he think he's only president of 1980s Detroit?
I know this is unscientific but my eyes tell me around 400,000. No fvcking way this is anywhere close to 900,000. Also you can't see everyone in the Obama pic
I'm 100% in favor of legalization but people who smoke pot in crowds are assholes.
Lots of things people do in crowds are assholes.
It still is just a 1st amendment right, of course.
Up to a point. There was property damage that someone has to pay. Those I'd like to see triple fines for damages and the proceeds go to the owners.
That would be the decent thing to do.I guess smoking can impinge on your neighbor's freedom to enjoy unadulterated air. So next time, maybe edibles?
What real solution?
Pardon my impertinence, but I might just view your reply as an "I don't know," which is fine because I don't know either. At this point I don't see trying to put the brakes on what you view as an inevitable process as a bad thing, though. I think (what remains of) the middle class needs to take a breath before going under again.The issue can be viewed in the divergence between production and wages.
Therefore the solution is based on correcting that growing imbalance.
At this point, in this topic, I'll leave it to others to suggest how.
I am open to alternatives, but I doubt automation will allow much time for options.
Ok I don't support vandalizing buildings, but if those businesses didn't want their storefronts vandalized they probably shouldn't have been in that area of town. I mean, they were kinda asking for it.Up to a point. There was property damage that someone has to pay. Those I'd like to see triple fines for damages and the proceeds go to the owners.

Some of the windows were asking for it/dressed provocatively/slutty..

I am reminded of the Robert Redford movie "The Candidate", where after winning the election he calls his advisor, goes up to a room, and asks "What do we do now?", getting no response.
For whatever reason, Trump chose to use his crowning moment as an opportunity to give a candidate speech for an office he's already won. He could have come up with all sorts of florid, grandiose nonsense like most of them have and made it memorable and inspirational, but it resembled nothing so much as another speech in Ames, Iowa or Tallahassee, Florida, or any other place he visited while running for office.
He also chose to bag on every single career politician there, including the ones he is going to depend on to get his agenda enacted. He might have had a point, their victories aren't ours, but saying so while they're sitting right there surely isn't the way to get them on board, especially since they didn't want Trump to begin with. Being a "maverick" is great and all, but what good is it if you completely isolate yourself from the people you need?
Then, to top it all off, he became the first president I can recall to outright call out a group of people and declare war on them. Going after "Radical Islamic Terrorism" is all well and good, but tell me that every Muslim in the US didn't cringe all at once. He put them on notice that his administration is watching and that they better not step out of line, because the ONLY definite thing in that phrase is "Islamic".
That wasn't the speech of a statesman. Of course, Trump isn't a statesman. If we're lucky, he may one day be. We have gone from one of the best public speakers in presidential history to someone who seemingly took the two required speech classes in college and promptly forgot everything he learned. I assume he wrote that speech. If he did, he needs to hire better speechwriters and work on the delivery. If he didn't, he needs to fire his current speechwriters, hire better speechwriters, and work on the delivery.
Trump didn't write it. By all accounts, from biographers and staffers that have worked with him closely, daily, over years, the man has no attention span. Apparently, he simply can not sit still or hold the same train of thought or conversation for more than 10 minutes. He is, quite literally, an 8 year-old on a sugar high. There is no way in hell he wrote a speech for this event. I think he probably cobbled together some lines from his various cult rallies over the previous two years and spit it all back out.
He described the rain that began after his inaugural address, which left him feeling "like God was looking down on us."
Kelllyanne should be along anytime now to tell everyone what he really was saying, if she has not already.
