The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

[KLB]

He did the first day, out of "respect" for the families. I personally think it's very bad form to hit the links on the day that some of those kids were being buried, especially given how relatively close he was to to the funeral.

I don't agree with you on this one. What difference does it make if he is sitting in a room watching TV or out playing golf?

Do you expect him to attend every funeral? Would they have even welcomed him if he had tried?

Kut you didn't buy did you? So you weren't "sold" anything. You said you were gonna keep an open mind but you're the leader in every anti Trump thread or post.
You want him to fail. You're happy when he fails
Although I don't think he's failing. I think he's kicking ass even with half the country and media trying to tear him down and undermine his presidency at every turn because he is a threat to their anti-american agenda. Our republic is on life support because of the left and Trump is giving it CPR and bringing it back to life.

Absolutely, publicly THIS ^^^^^. Max rep on the way

The presidents success can be measured by how much the nevertrumpers whine.

Trump visits his golf course during funerals for shooting victims - NY Daily News

Classy... families are putting their kids in the ground, and he's putting golf balls into to the hole on the 9th green....and I was going to give him a break for going to Mar A Lago, this week. I seem to remember him being critical of others playing golf, and saying that he wouldn't ever have the time. Yet another bill of goods, we (actually not "we") were sold.

No, I did not expect him to attend the funeral, and he probably would not have been welcome if he tried. There's a difference between sitting in a room watching TV, and going out and playing golf, on the day of the funeral. I remember when Obama caught, and deserved, grief for golfing on Memorial Day. I think on days where the flag is flown half staff, the Chief Executive, and pretty much all politicians should take care to avoid activities of leisure while others are being thought of in remembrance.

Teachers should at least have the option to carry or not carry. Stopping all teachers is not the answer and neither is forcing teachers who would not be comfortable carrying to carry. Any teacher or faculty member that wants to carry should be allowed to carry and offer training to those who do.

I saw that chick with a LV bag... she need to pluck those eyebrows!

In other news Kushner loses his clearance.

[FONT=&amp]White House senior adviser Jared Kushner has reportedly had his security clearance downgraded from top secret to secret. Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, will no longer be able to view top-secret intelligence, according to multiple reports. [/FONT]

Kushner's apparently consumed lots of intelligence. Did he do it because he had our, or his best interests in mind. I'll be curious to see how the president responds to this.

On the "I though you were supposed to be draining the swamp, Mr. President" news:

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (Hud) has agreed to spend $165,000 on “lounge furniture” for its Washington headquarters, in addition to a $31,000 dining set purchased for housing secretary Ben Carson’s office.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...okesman-falsely-denied-expensive-table-bought

Maybe they have a really big lounge. So let's give them a pass. However, a $31K dining set??? Double U Tee Eff. Anyone missing the irony that the "Housing of Urban Development" is doing this? Hell, why aren't they using bean bag chairs and a card table. That what they do in the hood. lol

Shame on you, Ben Carson.

Where I work, we got hand-me-down furniture and they called it new. Of course, the plant manager's conference room is awfully nice...he got new stuff. It seems to be a RHIP sort of mind set.

Completely agree. Kind of like the controversy here in Indy over the new Lottery HQ

Government is playing with our money. They shouldn't be buying designer furniture. They can use bag chairs for all I care. Frankly, for $165k they can stand for all I care.

Damn...

Kushner and Ivanka's spokesman is stepping down too. The rats are thinking it's time to get of this ship.

She seems to have been one of the professionals and provided a grounded influence on the administration. I think they will miss her.

I'd rather they spend it on dinnerware than building more ghettos
