POTUS 45

Don't Be Rushing US

What is the reason for the Trump administration's tiny steps toward imposing sanctions targeting Moscow under a new US law by sending Congress a list of entities linked to the defense and intelligence arms of the Russian government?

It is the world’s largest nation, and perhaps POTUS has a vision many Americans have yet to see, like the fact that Russian borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.

Trump's Niger Problem

Submitted by ub on

Has Niger turned into Trump's Benghazi? A nation of nearly 21 million people, the Republic of the Niger is landlocked in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. An attack which resulted in the deaths of four elite US special forces with two others wounded when their unit, which was assisting local forces, was ambushed by local members of Islamic State in southwest Niger has drawn many questions the Trump administration apparently wishes to ignore with fake news. Congresswoman warns Niger ‘might wind up to be Mr. Trump’s Benghazi’ — is she right?

POTUS visits Puerto Rico for the first time since Hurricane Maria devastated the island last month. He visits during growing tensions with local Puerto Rican officials, most notably San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, over relief efforts.

He witnesses storm damage from Hurricane Maria after Trump attacked Puerto Rican officials who criticized the federal storm response. Everyone will be watching to see how he is received on the US island. As of this week, more than half of the island's 3.4 million people don't have access to drinking water and only 5% have power.

While Americans in Puerto Rico continue their two-week-old nightmare and wait for a real USA lifeline to their growing nightmare, those victims and journalists say thanks, to all public safety officials and first responders who are tirelessly working hard to save lives, but why does POTUS keep Tweeting statements and accusations without proof and then appears to be enjoying another weekend at his posh NJ golf course? https://dearmrpresident.org/ #USA http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #POTUS http://politics.doseofnews.com/#TABA

The Taxman Taketh Away

Submitted by ub on

Tax reform is all about showing me yours and I will be showing you mine. How can any so-called leader sell a tax plan if has not yet revealed his own taxes? Is do as I say and not as I do the POTUS way?

Some are accusing Trump of putting big companies first with his low tax plan. Others explain that a pig wearing lipstick is still a pig any way you look at it.

A 20 percent top corporate rate; 25 percent for “certain” pass-through businesses; three individual rates of 12, 25 and 35 percent with instructions for committees to add a fourth higher bracket if they choose?

No Coattails Kicked Tails

Submitted by ub on

Alabama Firebrand judge Roy Moore won the Republican primary runoff for US Senate kicking the butt of an appointed incumbent backed by President Donald Trump Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Moore, a Bible-thumping preacher who has been removed from the bench several times vowed to return the knowledge of God and the Constitution of the United States to Congress.

The tendency for political party leaders to attract votes for other candidates of the same party in an election is supposed to be victorious for candidates who will often win because they're “on the coattails” of the Senate majority leader, the vice president, and the president. Not any longer for Trump's #GOP Posse. http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #TrumpPosse

So much for political coattails and is he tired of winning yet? Is this STRANGE #GOP politics and doesn't it also seem that @POTUS and @VP are turning into Amos 'n' Andy because no one believes or takes it seriously. https://youtu.be/griMGY-JLvo and they keep losing time and again? https://youtu.be/ZmnOJSUkjrA

Political Conditioning

Submitted by ub on

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who during the 1890s was looking at salivation in dogs in response to being fed when he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever he entered the room, even when he was not bringing them food.

As we celebrate the birthday of this behavior modification researcher, known for classical conditioning let us take a look at some of the recent actions which have occurred most recently in media manipulation. Pavlov was known for saying -Don't become a mere recorder of facts but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

@POTUS and The White House continues attacking former FBI Director James Comey by suggesting that he broke the law when he shared with a friend copies of memos he wrote about President Trump.
