Trump Wants ‘Goddamned Steam,’ Not Digital Catapults on Aircraft Carriers Quote:
Good luck coming up with what to say about that. |

Far be it for me to defend Trump, but steam is still the standard launch method, and from what my son says there has been numerous delays and issues with the digital system on the Ford. This has caused huge cost overruns and has not proven to be dependable at this point in time. To the point where it is a potential hazard to pilots. So it seems like Trump is just rallying for the system that is currently most dependable. |

That is all true from what I've read, but it's already done, and the commitment has been made to the new system. I won't link to the Gawker article on it, but : Quote:

It's kind of nutty to think how much steam still runs the world. For many, many years I assumed nuclear power involved directly harnessing and collecting the massive energy created from a fusion reaction....nope, just boiling up some water real good.

Isn't the more likely answer that Trump said he wanted to fire Comey, the staff put together a defensible justification for the firing, and then Trump shit all over their work because he has no impulse control? |

I had dinner with an old professor last night who swims in some of these waters. He had an interesting thought on this that also buttresses the goldfish theory. His point was that if Trump was really playing 3D Chess or Bannon, et. al., had some grand scheme, then these spots like assistant secretaries of state, ambassadors to major allies, deputy department heads, etc. are the first ones you fill to start having your world view filter through the government. It's easy to do. There aren't huge confirmation battles and you start "winning" by brute force. Instead, goldfish. |

I think the key words in that tweet are actually; Trump Lawyer not any of the rest of it.

#withfewexceptions already trending.
Not to state the obvious, but I'm much less concerned with income from Russian sources than I am with expenses (namely interest expense) to Russian sources. |
Plus ol Donnie is having a tweetstorm up threatening to cancel all press conferences and replace them with written statements.
edit: Oh, not to mentioning "threatening" Comey if there's leaks. Yeah, I'm SURE that will go well |
Don't worry guys, we're going back to locking up all those minori- I mean, non-violent drug offenders for the maximum amount possible. So we'll be safe again.

Quote:
To be fair locking up minorities for non-violent drug crimes has broad bi-partisan support. I don't like popping up these threads because I think Trump is awful and his presidency is embarrassing. Seem people though seem to lose track that the war mongering, bank loving, Patriot act worshiping, drug shaming doesn't ever seem to stop no matter which side is in power. Ask Bernie Sanders how well opposing those topics really flys in the Democratic party. |
Fun stuff: #withfewexceptions hashtag on Twitter |
very funny Quik, wonder if Donald reads them?

And as if we need anything else, now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo!

I'm not sure this is a hands-down true statement. In the last decade or so, lots of states have been moving the other direction, with reforms to criminal justice systems designed to lessen incarcerations for non violent offenses, especially drug related. More treatment, fewer inmates. Serves both justice and the taxpayer. This has been happening in both red and blue states, too. |

Hey Ben, some of this stuff it mentioned, the things the press said that turned out not to be true-I've not seen that reported elsewhere-so is this article correct about them? |
Fish. Barrel. |

I am talking more federal than state/local. Obviously some states like California and more recently Colorado have figured this out. But nationally the Obama administration had a lot of talk about the failed drug war but they had 8 years to move marijuana off schedule I and never did. I call that a lack of any commitment at all to ending the drug war. |

I'd definitely agree on that point. |

The key phrase in that for me: The President’s behavior is juvenile and asinine. That is his biggest issue - he just comes across like an immature kid most of the time, and overrides everything else. |

Good line on Have I Got News For You:
The order to fire Comey came from the very top... Vladimir Putin. |

I agree with this. I do think there is some debate on who has the power to do that (I believe many have argued it's Congress). Even if he had just rescheduled it so that the banking restrictions are changed it would have helped immensely. |
Why would they end the drug war? The Federal Government isnt going to do something that shrinks itself. If it ends the drug war, all that money has to go somewhere else.
If the Fed was smart, they would legalize weed and tax it. Take it away from the states and set up federal weed shops in states. Think of the money it would make. |
Sessions is pro for-profit prisons -- of course he's going to want to increase drug incarcerations.

Senior administration officials have grown accustomed to learning about their boss’s whims in unorthodox ways but it doesn’t mean they like it or are prepared for the sudden swings of emotion. For instance, one official was having a conversation with a Daily Beast reporter on Friday morning when the reporter interrupted the official to inform them that Trump was on Twitter again.
After a brief pause to check Twitter, the senior Trump aide informed of the unfolding rant, responded, “Jesus.” Attention Required! | Cloudflare This was about the Comey threat. |
