Give it a couple of generations & it won't be the same, I suspect.

We have had the same. Frittered away instead of invested though.

Nowhere near as big (proportionally).

Statistics. They can point to what oil and gas has given them.
We should be able to point at a proportional similar, but can't.

Kerry slapping him down again big style over his talk of dropping out of the Iran nuclear agreement (along with every other party to the agreement).

After yesterday I'm out of following what stupid thing Trump will do next; speaking at a supposedly christian event that is the front for a hate group that is anti-LGBTQ, declaring to reclaim Christmas when no-one has taken it away, speaking with the president of the Virgin Islands, everything he said about the Iran deal being false and/or disinformation, and those are just a few of the highlights of the day.

How can everything he says or does be such total fuckwittery? There are homeless alcoholics picking fights with their own shadow who talk more sense than Trump.

In perhaps the oddest display of irony and reverse morality ever, Larry Flynt and Hustler have offered $10 million for information leading to the impeachment of Trump.

Unlike Trump, I suspect that Branson knows exactly who is the president of the Virgin Islands....

I was thinking more along the lines of "The President's Brain Is Missing" from Spitting Image.

Has he started reclaiming Christmas again? Last I remember of that was when he reclaimed it at the Boy Scouts' jamboree. In July.

I'll think you will find that you are wrong - according to Breitbart anyway:

Plenty of people don't realise their potential. It's a year in and he's achieved absolutely nothing of note and certainly nothing that he campaigned on.

Next he'll be claiming that he invented Christmas. Or that he'd never heard anyone use the word before he did, at least.

"Nobody cares about Christmas as much as me. Nobody had heard of it until I instructed my team to market it so that you, the people, were able to enjoy presents, good cheer and holidays whilst I played more golf."

Must be FAKE NEWS! That sentence is spelt properly and uses normal syntax, and doesn't employ random shouting. SAD! Must have been written by the President of the Virgin Islands.

I think we are all being a bit harsh on poor Donald knowing his intellect. There is the British, American and Spanish virgin islands. He can't possibly be expected to know where he is or what he is talking about. I mean they are all so close together and even all look like islands.

Are they all surrounded by water? Big water, ocean water?

Aren't they just off the coast of France and England?

I expect Trump will come up with a word for "big water, ocean water".

I suspect Trump's brain was desperately trying to find the word "sea", but thanks to brain degeneration it was out of range. I don't think that he's ever had an intellectual brain, but at least at one time his language was reasonably normal for an American adult hustler/businessman.

It's the BEST water.

I just watched a little BBC clip of Trump suggesting the other Presidents didn't call the families of US soldiers who have died - I assume those who die in active service... but anyway - he then has to backtrack because it's public knowledge that Obama did call families - and the clip finishes with images of Obama receiving a coffin and paying tribute to those who served under him.

Trump - when will you realise that you are president now - and it's no longer a popularity contest - you've actually got to get on and do something positive with your position. You're not the greatest mind, you don't have the highest IQ, you're not the Best Golf player - but you are the President of the US - so do something other than take petty swipes at everyone else.

Nah! Keep on as you were Trump. You're more fun like this.

Not an NBA follower but you gotta love this from Gregg Popovich.

“This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner—and to lie about how previous presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers—is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House, unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office, and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this president should be ashamed, because they know better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all.”

tangled_metal

Well obvious but he's entertainment.

Seriously I thought Bush Jr was bad in light of the alleged avoidance of national service in the military. Something about his daddy getting him posted to a quiet national guard which he went awol from allegedly. As in not fit to be commander in chief. But Trump is worse. Bush Jr knew to listen to his ppl and at least was sane. Trump is disintegrating. Does this show that national leadership is harder than business leadership? I mean he has disintegrated more since being POTUS.
