HAHAAA Trump's secret plan is finally revealing itself. If people die earlier, they don't need as much healthcare... you might be on to something.

StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 President Trump suggests anti-Semitic threats across U.S. are coming from within Jewish community President Trump appeared to suggest Tuesday that the wave of bomb threats against Jewish community centers across the U.S. could be coming from within the Jewish community itself, according to a Pennsylvania state lawmaker present for the comments. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was part of a group of state attorneys general meeting with Trump at the White House Tuesday, relayed Trump's comments about the bomb threats to Buzzfeed News, explaining that the commander-in-chief seemed to indicate he felt some of the threats were being made from the inside, as part of a potential effort "to make others look bad." "He just said, 'sometimes it's the reverse, to make people, or to make others, look bad,'" Shapiro said, repeating Trump's alleged response to questions during the meeting about the large number of bomb threats against Jewish community centers in recent months. "It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me," Shapiro said of Trump's remarks. Earlier Tuesday, a former Trump campaign adviser, Anthony Scaramucci, posted an ambiguous screed to his Twitter wall that appeared to connect the recent bomb threats to Democratic lawmakers. "It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies," Scaramucci tweeted, along with a link to a story from alt-new site Breitbart alleging that Democrats had hired "trained provocateurs to instigate violence at Republican events" during the 2016 campaign. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they get to essentially charge whatever they want because nobody really knows how much they are paying or even what they are paying for until they get the bill.

With ketchup! I know u are joking, but some people probably think Trump is an animal for eating meat. People are not always tolerant when they are vegetarian and others eat meat. I say we need a kinder gentler nation. I'm sick of all the negativity even though I am very very negative these days about the White Sox owner and front office re. the future of our team.

How did Ryan and McConnell just say it was a great speech and remain mum on how to pay for it? My direct question to him and his supporters would be, "even if the manufacturing jobs did come back, how would they withstand automation? Have you heard of automation and do you know what the impact is?" It is because of automation that I am going back to school for data science so that my job won't be automated in the future. They should consider these fair questions and even consider retraining or investing in green energy jobs, because the fossil fuel won't be around forever, just like the coal.

Another problem of automation is going to be income taxes. Workers pay taxes, robots dont. That being said, I really just am not sure what I am witnessing. Have people become so tied to their "team" they dont even care when their "team" turns into something that doesnt resemble their beliefs? Its all just a joke. Paul Ryan is up there cheering like a school girl for more spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making preliminary moves like pushing NATO partners to pay more. Check. Illegals, especially criminal ones will be deported. Check. Already begun.
