I figure that Donald Trump knows more in his own mind about football than does Nick Saban and Bill Bellichick put together. Why not.... he has has never met any expert in any field it seems that knows more than him about that field. Today he meets with several career U.S. Intelligence officials to tell them how much less they know about espionage and hacking than he does! It's crazy.... and possibly dangerous to our country with regard to national security going forward. Maybe he wants to appoint some of his campaign donors and political supporters from the business world as leaders of the intel community?
I assume that they're going to tell him that the administration that has been in power for the past 8 years has failed to provide the necessary cyber security that this nation needs. When the head of the DNC has a computer password that is "p-a-s-s-w-o-r-d" it's easy to see why we're so easily "hacked." Add to that that Clinton's aides told the FBI that "she doesn't know how to use a PC and was always forgetting her password" and you can see why foreign countries have been having a field day. I doubt that Trump will have the time in March to fill out his brackets on TV. Unlike his predecessor, he'll be doing his job.
I see your deflection strategy is still in full force Gipper. I hope Trump can find the strength and maturity to grow out of it. Maybe he knows everything about everything because he got his degree from Trump University? :lol:
:idea: He got his degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania... Trump challenges everyone who works for him. He leads from the front; questions all so-called experts; and rattles cages on a daily basis. He doesn't need any of them. Everyone is replaceable and anyone who gets too comfortable will be called to account. He beat the Republicans; he beat the Democrats; he beat the Bushes; he beat the Clintons; he broke all previous parameters and expectations. I say we give him a chance. He can't do worse than what we had before and we just might be looking at something brand new: a people's president. The first since Andrew Jackson.
I know he did go to Wharton and that happens to be about the only thing I do respect him for. Otherwise.... his unorthodox style may work.... or it might be dangerous: "The US vice-president, Joe Biden, also weighed in. He said it would be legitimate to question intelligence and ask for more detail or disagree but “dangerous” to publicly criticize the agencies and claim to know more than them. “For a president not to have confidence in, not to be prepared to listen to, the myriad intelligence agencies, from defense intelligence to the CIA, is absolutely mindless,” he said in an interview with PBS.
"Deflection strategy?" Let's see now, Wikileaks reveals through emails of the DNC that they conspired against Bernie Sanders, that the vast majority of the media are in their pocket and Clinton got advance notice of debate questions. And all the media concern is that THE RUSSIANS HACKED THE ELECTION. ********. Someone sits on a hot mike tape of Trump for years and it's revealed just before the election and the media has no problem with it. Someone discloses Democratic emails and it's the worst thing that ever happened. The first step of recovery Dave is to admit that you're a loser.
Something else to consider. If Assange is correct and the info he got didn't come from Russia, who else would want to tinker with the Democrats in our election? Here's a good possibility. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/12/obama-admin-sent-taxpayer-money-oust-netanyahu/
From the cheap seats... Went as a family to vote on Nov 8th....no Russian influence noticed at the polls...maybe some from the Germans from Russia....JoCo should know about that immigration story...museum is here in Lincoln.
The only substantiated attempts to influence their electoral process were made by Hillary Clinton, two DNC chairpersons, John Podesta and a significant portion of the mainstream mecia, led by CNN. Caught red handed and disgraced. Now Hillary won the popular vote by 2.9 million. She won California by 4.5 million. That tells me that the other 49 could not get past the stench of her dishonesty. She only won 19.5 states by the electoral count. Dave is determined to be miserable. I think we should let him
We'll see how it plays out. If 90% of the people benefit from a Trump presidency that will be awesome and I'm all for 8 years. If only 10% of smart and mostly rich people benefit ( and somehow convince another 40% dumb as rocks poor folk that they also benefitted ).... then that's the concern.
Question: Which is more culturally diverse and representative of the melting pot that is today's America? California or the traditional Red States?
Answer There is no "melting pot" in California. You see more Mexican flags than American ones half the time. In the red states, immigrants assimilated into the American way of life. They don't cling to their former languages and customs. Thanks to the left and their celebration of "diversity" we're becoming Balkanized.
re: California You rang? All along the coast, more votes were counted for Clinton than the total number of registered voters in those counties. This was especially true in that garden of civic-minded patriotism: Oakland.
Time for chaotic good to chime in... Why was Julian Assange and Wikileaks considered to be champions of the truth during the Bush Administration, but now they have somehow become "Russian hackers attempting to usurp American Democracy?" There are a rather large group of people who have superior computer skills who view the world as a border free entity, and simply like to shine the light on the ******** as it comes along. It turns out that your candidate had a whole lot of ******** that needed to see sunlight. This isn't about America, or Russia, or even Israel. It was about exposing Clinton's ********. Don't worry, if Trump is half the twit you think he is, he'll get his turn in the barrel too. Of course, that may not happen. Then what?
The Donald might not know football as could be assumed from his ill fated backing of the USFL with the Generals. But he apparently does know how to work with Car companies. After Toyota said it was building a car plant in Mexico to produce cars for the American market, he tweeted out that they'd better build cars in America or face a still toll at the border. So now Toyota has announced a 10 billion dollar capital investment in the US. This follows Chrysler and Fiat also announcing big investments. But that couldn't help the workers could it, the narrative is all about Trump and his rich buddies getting richer isn't it?
I'm not going through example by example and maybe it's sour grapes by the companies involved but half the time the car companies say they were going to make some of these moves anyway. Kinda like saying Christmas will be on December 25th next year and you're responsible. But then again Trump has been a word master.... a shell game manipulator of extraordinary skills and not even his GOP political opponents could keep up. He'll have to be the whole twit and then some before he gets stuck in the barel due to the aforementioned dodge'em and deflect em skills. Hell he's even convinced some erstwhile intelligent people on his board that he is something he's not and he's not something that he is. See how it works? :wink:
No, I'm still waiting for you to explain how a group went from being champions of truth to 'Russian hackers.'
Let's recap the "hack" The Obama administration that interfered in the last Israeli election announced that the Russians had interfered in the last presidential election by helping disclose emails that show that the DNC interfered in the Democratic primary elections to the detriment of Bernie Sanders.
