:ar_15s:Thanks, Frown. This is the biggest reason I come to this part despite hating it. To learn ****. And I can't learn from the "adult discussions" of Trump's golfing habits.

BTW I'm all for childishly rubbing Trump's golfing habits in the face of his dumb ass hypocrite supporters but to actually express outrage over it like this is really just people looking for reasons to be mad. Recreational outrage is all the rage these days.

Edit: I don't remember adding an AK Smiley face but I'm keeping it.

Not sure. Who are you favorite communists?

That's some good communists!

It's not about golf. It's not about the amount of money. It's all about his credibility. He campaigned on being different, on being anti-Washington, on being an outsider who was going to shake things up. A good chunk of people who voted for him over Clinton did so because of these reasons - he was going to be the anti-politician.

He just keeps proving time after time that it was complete and utter BS and he's as much an insider as anyone. His inner circle is just of a different ilk than most.

So ya, it's only golf and it isn't going to cause a world war. But relatively speaking, it just helps cement a precedent. Trump pulled off the biggest political magic trick of all time. And he still has a bunch of followers who refuse to take off the blinders and realize they got totally ****ing conned.

Are you mad because he switched his act after the campaign? That's pretty much how these things always go.. he's not cementing a precedent, it's been there a long time, he's just more in your face about it so it feels worse to some. Every election is a fucking magic trick unfortunately. Nothing in that post is any different from any other election except you have a greater distaste for the candidate this time around (and rightfully so). Blind supporters are not new either and presidential credibility is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

Of course, it's nice to have some civilized people in here looking to have an actual conversation. I'm not sure if they can improve conduct to be honest, I guess we'll find out because his non-political antics start diminishing with increased media attention. Also, I forgot to mention in response to your previous post, I think it's reasonable if you want to bring up his expenses as they relate to taxpayers, but when you start using it as an attack saying he's a lazy president or whatever, it becomes useless to discuss. I do still think there are more important matters, but I can concede that point to you.

So right DWV. You got me. I'm being serious.

Having fun redistributing your non-existent wealth.

What are the issues that matter to you that aren't being discussed? I keep hearing about issues issues issues in statements like that but it's such bullshit because the person complaining never talks about these "issues" at all either.

Media attention can slightly improve a politician's conduct but Trump isn't a regular politician so I don't think it's going to help. Also the media is doing it all wrong. I saw this video from Vox where they pretty much showed that satire comedians are doing it better and calling BS on stupid things instead of actually entertaining the BS and then debating over it.

Ya left out a hyphen, DJ.

thanks, I think I deleted too much of the other part to it.

I do that all the time. Usually it's a hyphen or an underscore that's missing. That's how I knew how to fix it.

NADP pipeline
New EPA restrictions
Pissing in the face of internet privacy
That punchline of a budget, what it cuts and the unnecessary military increases
High civilian casualties across seas
Abortion restrictions
Press gag

But what really matters is
He tweeted something
He spent some money on golf
He doesn't have the same overheightened respect for archaic forms of decorum as establishment politicians
He was a little bit of a mean guy

Yeah that internet privacy thing is gonna have me clearing my browser history just about every day. **** you, Donald.

I clean my gutters to keep it from raining.

You don't normally do that anyways? Every time I close my browser my history goes with it.

Thank you, some of these have been mentioned in this thread before too.
I'd like to hear DWV's concerns about what issues bother him the most.

I meant to make a thread about DAPL awhile ago but just never got around to it. There were definitely some conflicting views on it.

I'm lazy tho.

Just change the setting and close your browser and bam done.

You only have the change the setting once lol.

The Nepotism bothers the **** out of me even though there isn't much that can be done.

Jared heading off on trips to Iraq and his daughter getting an office in the White House.

Bet there's gonna be a dress stain scandal, nawmsayin?

The Nordstrom execs already pulled out on Ivanka's dress line if you know what I mean.

Frowns list is fine. I think youre missing my point. Im not complaining about issues in this thread not being talked about or reported on by the media. Im complaining about how society gets distracted by reality tv drama type issues instead of remaining focused on things like policy change.

Policy change isn't shiny though.

Leading up to the election all I talked about was policy and how Trump wasn't going to align with my ideologies. And if I remember correctly I got dumped upon by a bunch of folks here for being too preachy with my beliefs.

It's pretty much a no win discussing politics here on MB....... or anywhere else for that matter.

You get dumped on for being the liberal version of a Fox News fan.

Not from me. Honestly, I'm happy talking about anything that is actually relevant to POLITICS.. Not golf, tweets, trump as a human being, and nordstroms.

You do know how popular reality tv shows are and celebrity gossip is in general. Well it applies here as well. It's just something you have to deal with. Especially with a president that likes to speak directly to the public through Twitter since he claims he can't trust the media to report on anything properly.

Yes you certainly did. You also rode every hype train that was spun about Trump, so it maimed your credibility when you did speak about your own beliefs--it's hard to tell, like figuring out when I'm being a dick and when I'm trying to be funny :D.

In other news, I think this was a pretty cool move (even though, yes, it would be preferable if he allocated a sensible budget for national parks, or do both).

Trump Donates First-Quarter Salary to National Park Service

So cut their budget then throw some chump change at them.. :laughing: But seriously, that's cool, I can't complain about that.

I think I deal with it pretty well. I don't attack anyone or create a bunch of forum drama over it. I'm just pointing it out in hopes that maybe some people, other than Frown, will understand the frivolousness of it all and stop paying it any attention. Slow change is better than no change.

We'll unlock the mysteries of the universe long before we even get close to cracking that code....

The answer is Frownland is always trying to be funny.

$78,333.32 = Not even three days of SS protection for Melania and Baron while they stay in NYC.

Jebus. The Federal report on the National Parks budget is 623 pages long!

https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/upload/F...or-website.pdf

Yet he almost 100% fails at least 50% of the time and at least half fails the other 75% of the time.

It's a good rule of thumb.

$78,333.32 = 390 Trump steaks

I mentioned before that his budget is a joke, doesn't make him following through on this campaign promise a bad thing.

Are we talking about my jokes or your attempts at making good insults?

That's almost 40% of 125% of the time! I'm impressed!

Is Yogi Berra the posterchild for the negative effects of not wearing a helmet while at bat or something? I don't get why people love the guy--he's a straight up idiot.

Just look at this ****
That's retarded as balls, Yogi. You're not witty.

Yogi > Einstein

If not for baseball the dude could have been George Carlin.

"I really didn't say everything I said." - Yogi Berra

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Aww Einstein's a downer just like me. He gets the edge.
