FYI, these are two different posters. The two quotes can't be taken together to prove a point about either of them. You are not a hypocrite if your comment contradicts someone else's, even if you have some beliefs in common. Hypocrisy is when the same person says one thing and then makes a second comment that contradicts the first. if that was her intention, wow. I didn't even catch that. When she quoted me, I was just trying to figure how what I said (on it's own) was debatable. I read and re-read, but that was my takeaway. I could be wrong, but it's the only way it made sense to me.

Sitting in the audience was his daughter Ivanka Trump in a $2,995 dress. The red ensemble was by French designer Roland Mouret. It was not, in fact, designed or made by an American — something her father has advocated for in most of his speeches. Once people realized the hypocrisy, they took to social media to blast Ivanka's dress, from its appropriateness to the revealing straps.

"Ryan is looking down right now and he's very happy because I think he just broke a record," Trump joked, prompting another wave of adulation for the Gold Star wife. How the fuck would Trump know how Ryan Owens is feeling at this point in time if he was indeed looking down upon his grieving wife? What a presumptuous asshole. linkThis is the point where I turned off the tv in disgust. "Ryan is looking down right now . . . " Trump, not buying your "sincerity". Either you are knowingly exploiting this death, or you think you are God. But I am not buying that he cares about this life. Only his image. Yep. I had to leave the room. His saying this was beyond the pale and I was/am angry for Ryan Owen's family.

An as an aside - the Democratic response was downright horrific. I'm starting to think the opposing side should just ditch these as I can't recall one that has been anything other than a train wreck. I've really been enjoying SNL this past election cycle and especially all the Trump and Hilary parody. I was watching a recorded episode last night that made me think of this board. During the Weekend Update one of the guys said when you really don't like someone, you don't want to see them make any decisions, even if it's in your favor. Trump could sign an order for free pizza tomorrow and protesters would be outside the white house demanding tacos. I really think that it doesn't matter what he does, it will never be right or enough. Both political parties are thinking of themselves and refuse to give an inch to the other. And people hate him so much that they can't see anything other than their hate. What really, has HE done that is positive? And it's not the democrats that are being interviewed and quoted that they are not giving an inch--it's the republicans who are saying it.

~Lauren~ seems to have blocked me - unless she just deleted her post after someone quoted it. If she has blocked me, please let her know that this Canadian would be thrilled to have those immigrants the US rejects. The US is going to find that while it may seem like a good idea to throw these people out, it's very likely to have negative economic consequences. As has been stated by many in the past, these folks do jobs that most won't take. I haven't blocked you Cycworker. I just didn't feel like getting into it. I've been avoiding all the political threads. I caved and responded and then deleted them because I didn't feel like getting sucked into it more.

I am PISSED as hell about the hypocrisy...like a heaping pile of garbage!!! How in the SAM HELL is ALL of this military, infrastructure, etc., going to be paid for? Oh and the wall? Not tax increase! Guess we add it to the deficit? Some Peas right on this thread railed against Obama increasing the deficit. Laid Benghazi at the feet of Obama and Hillary. But yet, those same Peas are falling all over themselves to clap for EXACTLY the same thing and give atta boy to Trump. SMDH!!!! I am one that is not happy about the deficit. All the spending talk is worrying me. Our leaders, no matter what side they are on, have to recognize that America is going to be in trouble if we don't get our fiscal issues under control. And I think it is not only the deficit we need to be worried about. I am still skeptical that he is going to be able to create as many jobs as he says, but even so, our country depends on a lot of foreign imports and to MAKE money we need to have robust exports as well. Couple the shit talk to foreign trading partners with the withering immigrant (cheap) labor, there is a WHOLE lot of math that is just not adding up. I know there are some smart Trump supporters on this board. I find it incredulous they are turning blind eyes to this.

The invitation came on Jan. 30, the day after her husband was killed in a raid on an al-Qaeda stronghold in Yemen. President Trump, then just 10 days in office, called Carryn Owens, the grieving widow of Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, to express his condolences, according to a White House account, and to invite her and her three children to visit him at the White House. “By the way,” Trump told Owens, according to the White House, “I’m going to be giving this speech in February. If you feel comfortable, I would love to have you as a guest.” Owens was overcome with emotion from the past 24 hours. She told the president that she appreciated him asking, but was noncommittal. Trump directed a military aide to follow up with her until, ultimately, she accepted. www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/post-politics/wp/2017/03/01/how-carryn-owens-ended-up-in-the-balcony-to-create-the-emotional-high-point-of-trumps-speech/

It was a fantastic speech. Not surprised at the snipes, but more and more, I find myself just smiling at the Trump haters thinking "you go right on with your big bad selves". In the meantime,this President is keeping the campaign promises he made to the people who voted for him. And I for one Am thrilled. Thrilled. At last we might get some sanity back in this country. And other than forcing employers to pay for maternity leave, I agreed with everything he said and frankly can't understand how any rational person who loves their country could disagree with what he said. Go President Trump So you also agree that the threats to JCCs are fake? Wow Trump speaks out against attacks on Jews and shooting of Indian immigrants - Los Angeles Times

leftturnonly, I sincerely want to know if you feel Trump's expenditures are sustainable without increasing the deficit and/or taxes?

His saying this was beyond the pale and I was/am angry for Ryan Owen's family. I was put off by Trump calling him Ryan, as if he knew him. I thought he should have called him by his rank and last name. It just seemed too familial and casual for someone he never knew.
