    His comments today about Hitler / Assad are cringe-worthy. I doubt he survives it.

    Trump: you got any advice?
    Chris Carter: get yourself a fall guy.
    Trump: hey Spicer, want a job?

    His job is to speak to the press about stuff Trump says/does, so I'm just not surprised when he says beyond moronic things. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of stuff he says he's repeating what he's heard, I can hear Trump saying that and being like "ooh, that's a good line, use that Spicer", and Spicer being like "aww s***...".

    Say an AP report that the previously reported 3 million dollar trips was inaccurate. That 3 million number (actually 3.6) was based off a trip Obama took last year to Florida for a vacation. On that trip he went to Chicago first, then Florida which added to the cost.

    His trips to Mar a Lago are more like 1 million dollars and it's important to note they're for at least half business, not just vacation getaways.

    BREAKING: US drops massive bomb in Afghanistan.

    The United States' largest non-nuclear bomb has been dropped in eastern Afghanistan days after a Green Beret was killed fighting ISIS there, US defense official confirms to Fox News. http://fxn.ws/2o9VyiY

    So we just wasted more taxpayer money on a retaliation bomb for 1 soldier?

    That's what this sounds like. I understand a bomb used for tactical purposes, I understand the loss of the soldier, but we can't just go throwing bombs everywhere every time someone is killed because that's what that mentality sounds like.

    If you read the whole article, that is not what we did at all. They denied that, and said it was to destroy the tunnel system they have going on there. I mean, we lose guys all the time over there and this is the first time we have EVER dropped that bomb.

    Then I have no problem with it.

    If it was meant in retaliation (especially since we just dropped some in Syria), it was kind of foretelling to think that, no?

    Another reason why I don't give a damn about mainstream news outlets.

    Not cool.

    The Trump administration will not voluntarily disclose logs of visitors to the White House complex, it announced Friday, breaking with the practice started under former President Obama.

    White House communications director Mike Dubke released a statement citing “the grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.”

    Young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and now here illegally can "rest easy," President Donald Trump said Friday, telling the "dreamers" they will not be targets for deportation under his immigration policies.

    Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, said his administration is "not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals."

    ^^^ I have an S Corp. Dropping my tax rate from 35 to 15 is YUUUUGE.

    As for the rest, I'm no business major, so I won't pretend to know the "big picture". But I'm always in favor of paying less taxes.
