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

So let’s see if I have this right President DJT stated he would ensure that Rep. Pelosi was elected speaker.
If the President did this it would drive the Democrats insane!
It would be like he was in charge of who was elected Speaker of the House.
I would think that ensuring Rep.Pelosi’s victory would pit Democrats against one another and in some minds make it look like Rep. Pelosi would owe the President a favor?

 

[Phase2]

Yup. Basically, he is taking a foregone (but possibly difficult) conclusion and using some judo moves to improve his position vs. the Democrats.

Good description - classic judo.

What terrifies me is the fact that there are people that believe what she says.

That's exactly the same compliant I have with King Trump.

Is this more 4D chess?

 

[Phase2]

Throwing a monkey wrench in the gears is hardly 4D chess. But it is strategically sound.

The UK Spectator has done an analysis of the Brexit agreement and highlighted the Top 40 Horrors hidden in it. With terms like these, it would be easy to conclude that there wasn't really anyone negotiating for Brexit at all.

If he can get Daylight Savings abolished, he can be Emperor Trump ordained by God himself.

I think she is in over her head, way over her head. I doubt if she will accomplish anything except adding her vote to the dem monkeypile.

She's the in the junior most group of representatives. So she has as much power as she has knowledge of how things work.

 

[Brad69]

I think Political moves are like that chess board in Star trek the one Spock played ?
I believe most INGO members would make terrible Politicians everyone right of left or middle seems to be upfront about most issues. Can’t be that way in politics!

It would seem if President DJT just saying that he wanted Rep. Pelosi to be the speaker is a political win?
Even if no other action is taken he is in the Dems mind instead of all the great bills they are gonna pass ?

This is something Trump does that I like. I like it when he trolls bat-**** crazy Democrats.

That's exactly the same compliant I have with King Trump.

I wouldn't say Trump is the sharpest tool in the shed. But he's not bat-**** crazy. She's a ****ing lunatic.

Is this more 4D chess?

No. Just trolling Democrats, which is something he's fairly good at.

Nah. I mean. I'd be okay with that if we did it as a nation, and he'd get some kudos from me for that. My standards are a bit higher for deities though.

I've swallowed the Kool-Aid. If he clubs a panda to death using Johnny Cash's guitar on National TV, I figure there must have been a good reason.

This is a good video (just under 8 minutes) about some of the issues around shootings, gun control and cultural changes.

She kept smirking.
All she wants to hear is validation of her opinion. Not someone else's.
And she wants the simple solution.
People fixing themselves... too hard.

Before the recent, horrendous forest fires, and the intense politicization of the tragedy, it was well-known that the area in and around the Plumas National Forest was at extreme risk of a catastrophic forest fire due to, among other things, "decades of mismanaged forests".

From July of this year:

Apparently "decades of mismanaged forests" is caused by climate change.

 

[Mongo59]

As far as I am concerned, Matt Bevin stock just went up...

 

[nonobaddog]

I wonder if these misguided radical environmentalists that have mismanaged these forests for so long are thinking about all the CO2 their fires are producing.

I'm surprised they haven't mandated the placement of "scrubbers" on the top of each tree, much like coal fired power plants so they can have cleaner forest fires.
