Nah I'm not talking about a show based on rumors meant to pander to the simplest of minds. I'm thinking more along the lines of a show that points out the absurd things that happen in this country. There is so much that can be said about what is (and is some cases is not) already reported in the media. But I guess you are right, I'm sure PAPs would rain down from above anyway.

I'm just wondering if trinis would be ready for a show like that or if most people would just right it off as the mental masturbation of highfalutin individuals with a chorus of "we jammiiiiiiinnnnnn!!!!!"

Round 2...

Trump signs new travel-ban directive

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order placing a 90-day ban on people from six mainly Muslim nations....


...What is different about the new order?

Citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, the other six countries on the original 27 January order, will once more be subject to a 90-day travel ban.

Iraq has been taken off the banned list because its government has boosted visa screening and data sharing, White House officials said.

The new directive says refugees already approved by the State Department can enter the US. It also lifts an indefinite ban on all Syrian refugees.

Green Card holders (legal permanent residents of the US) from the named countries will not be affected.

The new order does not give priority to religious minorities, unlike the previous directive.

Critics of the Trump administration had argued that this was an unlawful policy showing preference to Christian refugees...

H.R. McMaster Breaks With Administration on Views of Islam

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s newly appointed national security adviser has told his staff that Muslims who commit terrorist acts are perverting their religion, rejecting a key ideological view of other senior Trump advisers and signaling a potentially more moderate approach to the Islamic world.

The adviser, Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, told the staff of the National Security Council on Thursday, in his first “all hands” staff meeting, that the label “radical Islamic terrorism” was not helpful because terrorists are “un-Islamic,” according to people who were in the meeting.

That is a repudiation of the language regularly used by both the president and General McMaster’s predecessor, Michael T. Flynn, who resigned last week after admitting that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about a phone call with a Russian diplomat.

It is also a sign that General McMaster, a veteran of the Iraq war known for his sense of history and independent streak, might move the council away from the ideologically charged views of Mr. Flynn, who was also a three-star Army general before retiring.

In all fairness, Trump did say he knows more than the Generals though. lol

Maybe he should read Breitbart like Cheeto Republican Jesus to get "real" news

[RASC]

The NYT is hemorrhaging money... They just gave up 8 floors of their building to meet their debts.
They also had to do an internal reevaluation of their editorial pieces post election due to the sheer number of complaints they've received from their traditionally left leaning audience...

Numerous apologies and corrections to the current administration also with their false reporting and bending of the truth.

In its current state the NYT is a shell of its former self. I would think twice before citing them as sources when refering to this presidency.

Last week tonight has an insane amount of research done beforehand, something I am unsure local productions would be willing to pay for in order to have a good show. But if it possible I would like to see a local version.

New GOP US health bill 'to leave 14m more uninsured'

(CNN) Fourteen million more Americans would be uninsured under the House Republican health care bill than under Obamacare in 2018, rising to 24 million by 2026, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said Monday.

The long-anticipated score immediately puts the writers and supporters of the GOP Obamacare bill on the defensive. It is also certain to complicate the party's already troubled efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
The CBO, along with the Joint Committee on Taxation, found that 5 million fewer people would be covered under Medicaid by 2018, and 14 million fewer people would enroll in the program by 2026. Meanwhile, 6 million fewer Americans would be covered in the individual market by 2018, but by 2026, only 2 million fewer people are expected to be covered. That's in part because fewer employers would offer insurance to their workers, driving more people to the individual market.
In total, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured by 2026 under the GOP plan, compared to 28 million who would lack insurance under the current law.
The Republican bill, titled the American Health Care Act, would reduce the federal deficits by $337 billion over 10 years, the CBO said.
The legislation, introduced last Monday, has sparked deep concern among Republican lawmakers in both the House and the Senate. The sources of unease are wide-ranging.
Prominent conservatives on Capitol Hill, for example, have argued that the bill doesn't go far enough, labeling it "Obamacare Lite." One element of the legislation that has drawn fierce scorn is the refundable tax credits, which conservative Republicans say amounts to an entitlement program.
Moderate Republicans are also uneasy, particularly when it comes to the proposal's impact on Medicaid expansion. Thirty-one states -- including 16 with Republican governors -- elected to expand Medicaid under Obamacare and have found it to be a successful way of insuring low-income adults at little cost to their states.
The House GOP bill proposes scrapping the enhanced federal funding for Medicaid expansion in 2020 and overhauls the entire program so that states receive a fixed amount of money per enrollee.

That bill has nothing to do with healthcare or the American people, especially when you look at the tax breaks given to the wealthiest Americans and how similar it is to ObamaCare in almost EVERY other respect. TrumpRyanCare is more to do with destroying Obama's legacy. It's the spitefulness, vindictiveness and hate they had pent up for Obama over the last eight years, all in one bill. That's why they're saying the "new" bill is just the starting point and will/can be tweaked, but yet they're not willing to do the same for the existing Affordable Care Act.


On a lighter note. It's official

BTW has anyone been following the elections in Holland?
Looks like they wanna jump on the Trump Train Too

[De Dragon]

I don't know why RASC and ED and other Cheeto God worshippers use this obnoxious and very obviously biased TrumpTard to bolster their arguments. The WH simply released the tax returns before Maddow because they knew there was no smoking gun there. Mind you these Trini Chumpanzees, fail to note that it is just one year out of many, and just like how it appeared anonymously dropped, there will be others, which may yet reveal the real state of this moron's affairs.

Probably waiting for another 9/11 to make America safe again. So ban can go into effect ......

The funny thing is America could have gotten the perfect health care, but the Democrats won't even give 1 vote to support it in congress. Its a bit like Rowley saying lets change the constitution of T&T so we can make the Police Commissioner accountable to the people, UNC would never support it because they need the crime to continue so they would look like the best alternative. The Dems do the same thing in the US, Trump was shocked at this behavior because this is his first time in politics. So the only thing he can do is pass a health care where he would get the GOP support. Which is likely a half assed bill.

Thats not the reason. The fundamental reason why health care iza rigmarole all over the world is cost.

And at its core the hi cost and hi error rates of modern medicine are due to the cartels. The pharmaceutical cartel and the medical cartel.

Neither Obama nor Trump are have balls nuf to tackle those 800 lb gorillas.

(1) DOJ Reversed Obama-Era Decision To Phase Out Private (For Profit) Prisons.

(2) Severe cuts to After School Programs to fund military build up.

(3) 31% budget cut to the EPA.

(4) Cuts $6 billion from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to use for the military budget.

(5) Rescinded the Stream Protection Rule, which restricts coal mining companies from dumping into nearby streams and rivers.

(6) Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan and international climate change programs & research.

(7) Harsh cuts to the GCCI (Global Climate Change Initiative) and UN Climate Change programs.

(8) Harsh cuts to Biomedical research and Science.

Just a few of the Trump administration's gems. At least the Military and defense contractors and Big Oil donors eat well? Trump and his band of cretins are all about the people.... fur sure.

Its always funny to see liberals laugh and take pleasure at the fact that you can be arrested and jailed in Holland for criticizing religion which is exactly what Geert Wilders was on trial for, when the hallmark of liberalism has always been to take a sh!t on religion and superstition. As a person who followed his case for many years now I can say without a doubt it is actually this that made him run for election, and not the crazy liberal beliefs about him being a far right Nazi.

Fact: liberals are the biggest hypocrites on earth and Wilders did fine at the ballot-box considering what he was going up against in an almost entirely liberal country and considering he isn't a billionaire like Trump.

Rest assured it doesn't stop here and as more terrorism hits Europe watch and see how people minds will change about who side the left is really on.

[AbstractPoetic]

Hey Trini Trumpanzees, any comment on Trump's unsubstantiated claims that former President, Barack Obama, wiretapped Trump's communications?

Oh, and don't forget the subsequent backpedal of Spicey and apologies for accusing Britain for the wiretap claims.

Lets see how you justify this one, seeing that you can't blame it on "fake news" media, just Trump's drivel.

Some important facts you choose to overlook:

- Omar Marteen was a born American.

- 9/11 hijackers mostly hailed from Saudia Arabia, followed by Egypt and Afghanistan. None of those countries are listed under the travel ban.

- The Oklahoma City bombings were carried out by TWO WHITE AMERICAN MALES, Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh.

- Most of the tragic school shootings in this country were carried out by WHITE AMERICAN males.


...which leads me to the conclusion that this is not about protecting American borders, but targeting the Muslim faith and brown/darker-skinned immigrants.

For every Arab immigrant I can show you dozens of illegal Eastern Europeans and East Asians that are not being targeted by ICE.

Please inform yourself before talking sh*t.

Justify what? His MO is partly to discredit Obama and everything he stood for. the fact he goes to this length to do it, means he can afford good lawyers, or is up for a laugh.
