Trump = Winning

[AbrahamG]

Funny, I heard Hillary was "chosen" to win in 2016.

Kind of sad for you if that's all you've got.

Kind of sad for you if that's all you've got.

No, there's the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Governors of a majority of the states, etc., etc.

Put a 'bizness' man in charge, they said. He can run the country. He can't fail, they said. Now, all the GOPs in Washington have bricked their phones and walk around like they are avoiding subpoenas. MAGA!

[gmflex]

Teh Donald ...

US consumer confidence explodes to the highest level since 2000

US consumer confidence spiked to a 16-year high in March, according to the Conference Board's monthly survey.

The headline index jumped to 125.6, the highest since December 2000. Economists had forecast that the index dipped in March to 114.0 from a 15-year high of 114.8, according to Bloomberg.

Consumers were more positive about the labor market and economic conditions. The share of people who expected jobs to be plentiful also jumped to a 16-year high.

The Conference Board's index rose to a new high after President Donald Trump's election, alongside other gauges of consumer confidence that showed renewed optimism. Business owners' confidence also spiked following Trump's promises to scale back regulations and cut corporate taxes.

In that case, it is REALLY sad.  Despite all that, can't get a health care bill through, can't get two travel bans implemented, can't stop lying and can't get his wife to sleep with him on weekends.

This "winning" sure looks a lot like "losing" to the rest of us.

The only problem I have with this map is that counties don't vote.

People do.

My problem with the map is that California is on it.

Well, the government wants that California tax revenue. All of those red areas benefit a lot from the Blue sections in California when it comes to federal funding.

Oh I bet they do!

Just hope the citizens of Cali aren't depending on their pensions.

I don't think many people are.
Pensions are pretty much done away with at this point. Unless you're in a union like the CWA, UAW, or BCTGM.

Got to supply the welfare to support those Bible Belt and Rust Belt states.

The "rest" of us have no problem with it so far.  67 days and nothing but flops and mega failures so far.

Trump Eyes 10% Spending Cuts, 20% Slash Of Federal Workers
The Washington Examiner ^ | 01/17/17 | PAUL BEDARD
Posted on 01/17/2017 6:49:57 AM PST by Enlightened1

Making good on a promise to slash government, President-elect Trump has asked his incoming team to pursue spending and staffing cuts.

Insiders said that the spending reductions in some departments could go as high as 10 percent and staff cuts to 20 percent, numbers that would rock Washington if he follows through.

At least two so-called "landing teams" in Cabinet agencies have relayed the call for cuts as part of their marching orders to shrink the flab in government.

The cuts would target discretionary spending, not mandated programs such as Medicare or Social Security, the sources said.

The spending reductions are expected to be used to help pay for Trump's plan to boost the Pentagon's budget, tax cuts and some pet projects, potentially including the anti-immigration wall on the nation's southern border.

The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.

The plan is winning cheers in conservative, anti-tax and anti-spending corners in Washington that have long sought massive cuts in the bureaucracy.

Presidents rarely cut spending, choosing freezes instead. In the meantime, federal spending has reached historic levels. Trump has picked a budget hawk, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, to head the Office of Management and Budget, a clear sign that spending cuts are a top priority.

Still, Trump is likely to face a wall of opposition from Democrats and federal unions who consider much of the federal workforce on their side.

Not only Democrats but some Republicans too if votes go the way his health-care proposal did.

Yeah, like he brought his own party together for that health care bill.

Don't worry, Obamacare covers that burn for you.

Don't forget New York.  Wish California would secede.  Let's see if Texas is willing to foot the bill for Alabama and Mississippi and, well, you get the gist.

Toothless piece of legislation:

This bill offsets the late-January FCC rule preventing ONLY ISP's from collecting and selling your data. Not the rest of the internet (That means Google, Facebook, that farming app on your phone, etc., all legally allowed to collect and sell.). In my humble opinion, the government shouldn't allow some companies access to your data, while restricting other companies access to that same data. Also worth noting that you can opt out of your ISP's data collection should you choose (although it is a pretty tedious task). The government isn't here to play favorites, nor should it be here to consolidate money and power to companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

The free market has a way of working things out. Should the demand for privacy increase to the point that it's economically viable for an ISP to advertise that they don't collect any of your data, it will happen.



Until then, I want my royalty check every month from my ISP provider for selling my info.!

Wake the fuck up, dopes?

You will forever be remembered as the guy who talked so much shit about how Hillary would win then went back and deleted all your posts out of shame and embarrassment.

The fact that you have the gall to call anybody a "dope" when you are the textbook definition is just incredible.

Never deleted a single election post. The whole world figured she'd win - you're just among the dopes what wagered on the "lesser of two evils."

How's that working out, Dope?

[Yamcha]

National debt has been cut down this past month by 85 billion.

On January 20, 2017, the US debt was $19.947 trillion. On February 21, 2017, the US debt was $19.935 trillion.

Today on March 31st, 2017 the US debt is $19.850 trillion.

It's still Obama's budget though.

I hope Trump continues the trend.
