Trump administration to reverse ban on Elephant Trophies from Africa.
Hopefully the Elephants in Washington go extinct before the ones in Africa do.
WTF?!? These assholes are just the worst, most awful people on every single issue. WTF did elephants ever do to them?

Without a concerted, serious, and well funded program to start reining in human population growth, the elephants (and so many other lifer forms too) are ROYALLY fucked regardless of Trumply.
Say bye bye cheetahs, giraffes, frogs, bees, tigers, mammoths (oops, already nailed them) . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

In short - the WLB is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Quote: Why Putin Keeps Outsmarting Trump
The Kremlin leader is trained to lie. Trust me, I ran the CIA: Believing anything he says is folly.
Quote:When the Art of the Deal meets the KGB, the KGB will always win. That’s the main thing I took away from this past weekend’s strange episode of President Donald Trump seeming to believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin actually believes Russia did not meddle in our 2016 election.

That is a quite worrying, if not frightening, article. It confirms most of my own thoughts on the personalities of those two men, Putin is a master strategist and tactician in the political theatre and Trump is an arrogant, bumbling fool.
Thanks, I think, Minimalist.

Sadly, everyone seems to have figured out the idiot's act.
https://qz.com/1125161/trump-in-china-a-...-a-fiddle/
Quote:Beijing is playing Trump “like a fiddle,” an ex-ambassador to China says
Quote:Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe’s recent hosting of Donald Trump was a masterclass in how to make the US president comfortable—feed him familiar food, take him on his favorite outing, golf, and tell him how much you like him.
But Chinese president Xi Jinping added a creamy layer of pomp and circumstance to the mix when the White House delegation reached Beijing. Trump has been feted with everything from an unprecedented private dinner in the Forbidden City to a red carpet welcome across from Tiananmen Square, the Beijing landmark where hundreds of students were killed by the Chinese military in 1989.
We're so fucked.

Trump is the guy at the high stakes poker game who thinks he's slick as hell and hasn't figured out he's the mark.

Trump urges Clinton to run again
Does he really think that "Lock her up!" tirade will work the second time around?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

One paragraph in that article shows the slop0y use of language that both muddies facts and inflames rhetoric in politics:
Quote:"I think in one case specifically, Senator Franken has admitted wrongdoing, and the president hasn’t,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters. “I think that’s a very clear distinction."
That is ambiguous, it invites the thought that Trump is simply not admitting his offences.
But then, if he admitted all his offences it would probably take year two of his term (at least) to list and debate them. If it included his offensiveness, well, that's at least the rest of his term occupied.
