Yeah, but he was wrong in his original criticism of Obama. A sitting President cannot travel for any purpose outside of secure government transportation. Everyone knows that even if Trump didn't.
You guys are going to have to come to grips with the fact that even a disingenuous blowhard like Trump can't be wrong about most statements of fact TWICE. He was only right or wrong about the reliability of labor statistics ONCE. He was only right or wrong about the inappropriateness of a President using government transportation to campaign for office ONCE.
It is sad that he is either ignorant of or oblivious to that and worse that he doesn't seem to care.
Don't repeat his biggest mistake.

Well, he is wrong about Carrier. They are laying off their workers, going to Mexico and still getting the tax breaks ... so is beg the question, what are the "consequences" for Carrier Corporation?
Trump was all about the "consequences" for companies that did this.
ETA: Carrier was the company he visited and gave a big, sloppy, wet-kiss tax incentive deal right after the election. That was his "action".

Hell, that's nothing. Wait until he has to come to grips with having spent a gazillion dollars on a stupid wall that ends up doing very little to stop illegal immigration from Mexico. He would have been better off spending half of that money to expand the size and improve the technology of the Border Patrol and merely lengthened or strengthened the existing border fence where necessary.
There are lots of "consequences" of HIS decisions that he isn't going to like. It's a tough job that is only going to get tougher and even he is going to get tired of pretending he is more successful than he, in fact, is.

Couldn't agree more Colonel. And there is some stuff that needs to be done (Infrastructure Bank, Small Business grants, loans and tax incentives, Comprehensive immigration reform, ...) that will stall because of his antics.
I was looking at the numbers in the House and Senate. 6 Senators and 25 congressman ( about 6% of each body) in a third party or nonpartisan voting block would swing power. That seems very doable. Would you vote 3pty?

An intriguing question. At the risk of inviting ridicule, I really do see myself as a moderate. More so a moderate Republican than a moderate Democrat, but moderate nonetheless. I no more identify with the Tea Party than I do liberal "progressives." (God, I hate that word).
If I believed that a third party had a true moderating effect on both the extreme left and right and could break political gridlock in Washington -- yeah, I'd vote third party. Not sure if that is what you were driving at, but that would be the hot button that could move me from the status quo.

I have always thought of myself as a Conservative Democrat. (An endangered species to be sure). I hate the word "liberal".
A third party would seem to me to make perfect sense in the current climate for exactly that moderating effect.
Let me guess...a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.

I think that the majority are just left or right of center. The extremes drive the agenda. I could never consider myself an extremist. I'm radically independent. Of course, I'm always right about everything.

What about the Golden Führer's suggestion that the Jews might be responsible for the recent spate of Anti-Semitic crimes?
Donald Trump suggests Jews might secretly be committing anti-Semitic hate crimes on themselves so he looks bad
The comments echoed similar ones by David Duke, the head of the Ku Klux Klan, just hours before
Haven't seen you kick your shtreimel across the room about that...

I do agree that extremes drive the agenda. And one of the saddest historical aspects of the journalism profession -- one I still dearly love as a former college major and retired practitioner -- is that it thrives on the extremes. During every news interview that I watch, I am hypersensitive to the interviewer searching for conflict at the base of most of the questions.
Of course he can; he can reverse himself, as he does, and be wrong both times, substituting one misstatement of fact for another.

Let me guess what you were right about ... Nope. Can't stretch reality that far.
There seem to have been so many, to which one are you referring?
