    What was there about the following link that proved too difficult for you to comprehend?

    http://www.factcheck.org/2016/12/trump-russia-u-s-election/

     

    That proves nothing. It's all conjecture. No US government agency has commented. Those people who I can ID are Democrat operatives.

     

    Factcheck is a left wing website.

     

    WikiLeaks says it wasn't the Russians. Is that any better?

     

    The real issue is still that the emails proved the corruption of Hillary and the Democrats. No one has denied that Hillary and the Democrats actually wrote those emails. That's what did the damage regardless of who provided them.

     

    Cheers.

     

    PS.  Even the OP quotes "unnamed sources". IMHO any MSM article that includes that phrase is manufactured out of 100% BS. Even on this site when someone states a claim we expect a link to a real and credible source to back it up or we call BS.

     

    Right now the MSM is running on innuendo and rumors which is why few people trust them now.

     

    Cheers.

  2. This thread is so far off topic it's unreadable. It's supposed to be about the possibility of Trump appointing Tillerson as SOS.

     

    I like Tillerson. He's a world class player and deal maker heading operations all over the world. He joined Exxon Mobile right out of college and never left. Winding up as CEO is a strong indication that he does well with people and is a leader.

     

    Trump is replacing Obama wimps with the grownups.

     

    Cheers.

  3. So, the Democrats' Washington Post citing a "double secret" report unclaimed by anyone says that the Russians hacked Dems' emails to help Trump win. In unrelated news, Hillary claimed she came under sniper fire in Bosnia.

     

    Russia denies the hacking. MY secret sources say that disgusted and disgruntled CIA operatives who are masters at misdirection provided the emails.

     

    Speaking of misdirection, what the Democrats want you to forget is that they actually wrote these emails which prove how corrupt they are. The problem with the emails is the proof of corruption, not who provided them.

     

    BTW did the Russians also hack Hillary's campaign schedule, assuring that she would vanish for two months and not even campaign in some of the states she "surprisingly" lost?

     

    What a loser, coming up with yet another excuse for losing the election when it fact it was all about HER.

     

    Cheers.

  4. It will be really nice when in 40 days Trump becomes president and people can stop acting as they are still campaigning. These threads read like campaign debates as if it mattered now.

     

    Hillary lost. That's it. Obama with his total lack of experience in so many areas can just ride off into the sunset, to be replaced by the grownups who've actually done real and big things in their lives.

     

    Cheers.

  5. From the OP:

     

    "Trump holds stock in Energy Transfer Partners. Pipeline opponents worry that Trump's investments could affect any decision he makes on the project as president."

     

    Trump is reported to have sold his entire stock portfolio in June to avoid conflicts of interest. It is said that it was a small portion of all of his holdings which are mostly real estate.  LINK

     

    It is also reported that he held stock in Boeing which he has been roundly trashing for costs involved with a new AF-1 and for planning to build a plant in China.

     

    Cheers.

    This job ain't brain surgery. He's not a fit. Any rational person can see that.

     

     

     

    So you hire someone with a college degree in something like urban planning but who has no real world experience with the ghetto? You get an idealist who also is totally unqualified.

     

    Your dire predictions about so much (including that Hillary would be the next POTUS) will just continue to be proven mistaken.

     

    Cheers.

    That's not exactly how HUD works now. In the biggest city near me it works like this. The largest campaign donators to the Mayoral campaign are developers. Once ensconced the Mayor works with HUD to build new subsidized housing for the largest new immigrant voting block. In my city that was previously the Vietnamese, now it is Somalians. HUD provides grants and guaranteed loans to the builder who got the city to use their powers of eminent domain to clear a large area for them to build in. The developer then builds townhouses or "City Houses" at a density not otherwise allowed by law. The new tenants live in homes that would otherwise cost $450,000 - $550,000 for about $400/mo. They never, ever leave these homes. Either through grandparents or kids they continue to live in these homes forever at a cost of next to nothing. That is today's HUD.

     

    I once had a relationship with HUD whereby I rented 18 homes under their Section 8 housing program. At that time it worked very well for me, the tenant and I think HUD. I accepted a little bit less than the market rate, the homes were a little bit better than others on offer and well maintained. The tenants were happy I was happy and maybe HUD too. I did discriminate however, only taking seniors.

     

     

    I'm aware of HUD and think much must change. Years ago I had friends who leased their rental units to HUD. HUD then "rented" them out as subsidized housing themselves. HUD did all of the repairs for damages which were often substantial. HUD returned the units to my friends in top shape. I don't know if they still do that but it was a fiasco.

     

    Democrats use those big cities and housing projects to keep poor people in today's equivalent of the plantation. Once given housing, food stamps and subsistence income with no apparent hope of getting out, the people will vote for their captors to keep getting their benefits. Their captors are Democrats.

     

    Cheers.

    Your understanding of the scope of HUD is absurd.

    trump clearly picked the sleepy man who self admitted incompetence to run any such large agency to GUT IT.  

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Housing_and_Urban_Development

     

    A "Sleepy Man".

     

    I can't imagine how hard one must work to get the grades it takes to get into medical school much less to graduate from there. Then only the tops in the class can go on to become a brain surgeon.

     

    One of my best friends is a retired heart surgeon. The guy simply doesn't know how to quit and has no ability to procrastinate. That's what it takes to accomplish what he did.

     

    This will be the first presidency in our lifetime when anything was done for our inner cities other than to mine them for Democrat votes while breaking promises. Carson certainly can't do any worse than those who come before him for the past 100 years.

     

    The "experts" who have been in charge of HUD for the past 50 years have done nothing but make things worse, worse and worse.

     

    Cheers.

  9. What's all this about Carson?

     

    He grew up poor in the very ghettos he will be in charge of. And he knows nothing about them?

     

    He managed to pull himself up by his bootstraps and get through college, medical school, and then on to become a neurosurgeon. It's apparent he's a genius.

     

    He works for a big time real estate developer who will be the first POTUS in my lifetime with a goal of cleaning up the inner cities. Trump's knowledge of the business and Carson's knowledge of the culture are a perfect match.

     

    Both men are very hard workers who don't know how to quit. Donald Jr. said "The way to get my father to do something is to tell him it can't be done." People could have told Carson that what he did couldn't be done.

     

    My money is on this duo to do more for the inner cities than anyone has in 100 years. Just watch.

     

    Cheers.

    I would disagree.  The OP's posts indicate that he/she is very competent at writing English, albeit with some mistakes, (which maybe many NES would also make).

     

    Additionally, a NES who can write fluent English does not mean that they will make a good conversational teacher.  There is a NES at my current school who speaks with a regional accent from the north of England.

     

    I can understand this teacher, but most of the students and the school principal cannot.

     

     

     

    Why rain on a parade? As I was reading his posts I thought "Wow, better than many NES I've read." There are also many NES that I can't understand when they speak and I'm a native W. Coast American. We haven't heard the guy speak so we don't know.

     

    The guy had the guts to come on here and post and if he hadn't said he wasn't NES I wouldn't have known.

     

    Cheers.

  11. From OP:   "UPDATE: Thai police confirm the suspect has now handed himself in. The firearm was found to be a BB gun."

     

    Where I come from the driver of the red car would be guilty of assault with a deadly weapon - a car. Seriously. From what's on the video he was the aggressor and the perp of aggravated assault.

     

    I put all of the blame on the red car.

     

    Cheers.

    The "populist" demagogue trump won, but he won DIRTY.

     

    -snip-
     

     

     

     

    Dirty? You don't recall how Bernie got screwed? You don't recall how Hillary got debate questions against Trump in advance from CNN? You don't recall how the MSM let Hillary approve their articles before they published them?

     

    The Democrats are always dirty. Hillary was the most corrupt person ever to run for POTUS.

     

    Cheers.

    Trump didn't win dirty. He outsmarted the not so smart Clinton, and he won by the rules. He targeted electoral votes which is what it takes to win. Recounts, court pleadings - he's still the winner.

     

    Isn't even trying? The guy is doing more before inauguration than any president I can remember. He's seeing a surge in popularity unmatched by anyone since Reagan. You may recall that both Clinton and Trump suffered from high unfavorability ratings before the election.

     

    You might get your head out of TVF and read the news once in a while?

  14. Topic:   "Trump to nominate retired Gen. James Mattis to lead Pentagon."

     

    Someone needs to lead it. We haven't had any leadership for at least 8 years.

     

    "Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste."

     

    December 5, 2016

     

    "The Pentagon has buried an internal study that exposed $125 billion in administrative waste in its business operations amid fears Congress would use the findings as an excuse to slash the defense budget, according to interviews and confidential memos obtained by The Washington Post.

     

    Pentagon leaders had requested the study to help make their enormous back-office bureaucracy more efficient and reinvest any savings in combat power. But after the project documented far more wasteful spending than expected, senior defense officials moved swiftly to kill it by discrediting and suppressing the results."

     

    More - Washington Post

     

    Time for the grownups to take over Wash. DC.

     

    Cheers

    If you follow only the MSM you can be made to believe that Trump's Taiwan phone call was ill advised and spontaneous rather than being a shot across the bow at China which had been planned for months.

     

    You can believe that Trump's comments about Boeing were spontaneous and ill advised rather than knowing they were a well planned shot at Boeing for building a plant in China and another warning to China.

     

    I used to be surprised by some of the low information but very loud parroting posters on here, but no longer. I'm used to it.

     

    Cheers.
