Trump calls the President of Mexico, threatens a 20% tariff on imports from the Southern Border--a tariff he doesn't have the authority to impose. The President of Mexico reminds him that if he is successful in imposing such a tariff, quite apart from the damage he does to the economy, he will be taxing American consumers to pay for the wall.
It appears that the only exercise Trump will get over the next four years is opening his mouth to change feet. |

No, I was an average WS. Speed demon, didn't get passed to often , and could pull off a decent planning jibe. There are some very good WS here in NE.
Started skiing at 5, started WS at 38, Started kiting at 50.

Well maybe only 5 days of skiing a year won't blow the snow flakes off any mountain. No more bumps for me, just groomers, hopefully with some new powder. Steeps are ok, but bumps just wear me out too fast.
Sometimes I get two trips a year, but that's been it for a few decades. I did start around 1960, skiing at Mt. Baldy in L.A. Then Mammoth, June Mt. and other areas in Southern Calif. growing up. At Baldy, lift tickets were $6.50 with a student I.D. I don't recall going a year without skiing, so while I have skied several dozen mountains throughout the country and Canada, total days on the slopes just don't add up to that much.
Ok, I am out of testosterone, so I will take a break. |
Techno, first time I see someone mentioning Mt Baldy! Skied it last weekend, first time in many years, impressively good for a quick 90 min drive when it has snow (rare these days, I blame global warming but let's not talk about that), and small crowds. Yesterday was great, too, according to some friends. Tickets online are $50 these days.
And now my turn - I can ski the crap out of all of you! Ok, well, maybe I'm with Techno again, managed to ski paranoid flats at Mammoth for the first time this Winter, rock garden with the help of soft Spring conditions is what I remember from Squaw several years ago, we were very ignorant of KT-22's mystique. |

Donald Trump Is Going On Vacation And It Is Going To Cost You An Estimated $3 Million
| Quote: | By Jason Easley on Fri, Feb 3rd, 2017 at 3:10 pm
It is estimated that Trump's first vacation as president could cost taxpayers at least $3 million for the weekend. |
| Quote: | President Donald Trump’s trip to his luxury resort in Mar-a-Lago this weekend could saddle taxpayers with a bill upward of $3 million and is already drawing the type of scrutiny Trump and other Republicans regularly heaped upon former President Barack Obama.
…..
The closest approximation of the cost comes from a report the Government Accountability Office prepared in 2016 about one of Obama’s trips in 2013 at the request of Republican Sen. John Barrasso. The trip was actually quite similar to the one that Trump is about to take. It occurred in February 2013 over the course of four days. Obama flew from Joint Base Andrews to Chicago on Feb. 15 to deliver a speech on the economy and the middle class, then flew from there to Palm Beach, Florida. He returned on Feb. 18. But for the Chicago detour, Trump’s trip is almost identical. The cost of the 2013 trip for the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, was $3.6 million, the GAO found.
Presidents pay for their own and their family’s food and lodging, but taxpayers foot the bill for the travel and security costs. It is not cheap to fly Air Force One. The cost of Trump’s flight alone will be $200,000 an hour.
Here is Trump complaining about the cost of President Obama’s vacation in 2012:

President @BarackObama's vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars----Unbelievable! |

Trump tries rewriting history on disastrous raid's planning
| Quote: | | Colin Kahl, former national security adviser to Vice President Biden, talks with Rachel Maddow about how the Trump regime is distorting history in an attempt to shift the blame for a disastrous military raid onto the Obama administration. |

the trump administration argued in court that they can make decisions without true or actual facts. Isn't that the essence of a right winger?
being president is a joke to him..

Why Trump lost: Judge slams alternative facts
| Quote: | | Lawyers defending President Trump's travel ban lost a major battle in court. How did they lose? The judge did not buy the "alternative facts" argument. Ari Melber explains |
