What Did President Trump Do Now?

Chula Vista · 05-19-2017, 08:29 PM

What's it like on Air Force One right now. Still a number of hours before it touches down in Saudi Arabia. The big bomb dropped about 10 minutes after it took off from Washington this morning. And then Comey agreeing to testify publically happened a few hours later. Obviousy, they're totally plugged into what's going on. Who was the poor chum who had to break the news to Trump and Kushner? And what's the mood been since.

A 747 is a huge plane but it's claustraphobic and there's pretty much nowhere to hide. Again, poor Sean Spicer - who's on the plane.

Sure but not like this. At least in my lifetime.

White House could use ethics rule to hamper special counsel on Russia

Lol. That's a pretty ironic use of ethics.

The whole governmental system exists to slow down the process of change if there's vast disagreement within the country.

I don't see that as a negative thing like you do. Checks and Balances to keep drastic changes from happening too quickly.

I guess you would prefer how quickly things get done in a dictatorship.

How do you know he thinks it's a negative?

He has the position of limited/no government. He would prefer less government involvement.

They'd probably read Aristotle who concluded any real Democracy naturally could not have inequality as the workers would vote to abolish it

What part of the system?

What do you mean by "enough democracy"?

Can you source Aristotle on this subject?

Are you sure it's even established that people actually vote in their own best interest?

Limited and no government are extremely different ideologies.
