    Where are all the alt-right crackpots and libertarians as the state of Texas is flooding? Gone into hiding? Shouldn't they be publicly opposed to any government action of help? After all, government is "bad", "we don't need them", and the "deep state" is your enemy, according to them. I wish the people would let these cry baby hypocrites drown once and for all.

    Like your rogue leader? Or his followers who killed someone and injured scores in a right wing terrorist attack last weekend? If it wasn't so tragic and pitiful, it would be hilarious. You give hypocrisy a whole new meaning.

    And this, right there, pretty much sums up everything that's wrong with the IntraGoogles.

    He's right though.

    Senator Cruz was adamant that the East Coast should not get relief money for Hurricane Sandy.

    Is he equally opposed to Texas getting aid?

    Like fuck he is.

    Let them rot and blame him for it.

    Maybe they won't vote in an arsehole next time.

    remember that local police forces in the US are frequently up against better armed neo-nazis, white supremacists and KKK special forces...

    Donald Trump sought deal for Trump Tower in Moscow while running for president, report says
    United States President Donald Trump tried to cut a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the lead-up to the presidential primaries
    in late 2015 and early 2016, according to The Washington Post.


    Key points:
    • Report says Trump and a Russian-born developer exchanged emails about a Moscow tower while Mr Trump was campaigning
    • Developer urged Trump to promote proposal by visiting Moscow where Putin could say "great things" about him
    • Allegations come amid investigation into whether Trump team colluded with Russia to influence election

    The Post reported that Mr Trump and Russian-born real estate developer Felix Sater exchanged emails about the project while Mr Trump
    was campaigning for the presidency.

    Earl refuses to read (much less actually consider) anything that's more than 140 characters long and not from the verified Twatter account of Donald J. Drumpf.*

    Trump and approval ratings - what the elite media won't tell you
    Newt Gingrich
    By Newt Gingrich Published August 27, 2017 Fox News

    NOW PLAYING
    President slams 'sick' media
    According to the elite media, President Trump is a negative, dangerous, unpredictable leader who is getting more and more unpopular.

    The most recent average of polls has President Trump at 39 percent approval.

    One news analyst wrote that Trump is turning us from a 50-50 country to a 60-40 country, with the new majority consolidating against the president.

    In their eagerness to declare the Trump presidency a failure, the elite media is failing to inform us of two things.

    Macron is not alone. British Prime Minister Theresa May earned a 34 percent satisfaction rate, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had a July approval rating of 34.2 percent, and the Democratic Party in the United States received 38 percent approval in June.

    First, President Reagan had a similar period during his first term when his approval rating fell to 35 percent -- even lower than President Trump’s. Reagan bounced back, carried 49 states in a landslide reelection, and went on to oversee an economic boom and change world history by pushing the Soviet Union into collapse.

    So, history tells us that presidential approval ratings at this point in time are not indicative of a president’s future success.

    Second, in addition to failing to contextualize President Trump’s approval ratings in history, the elite media is ignoring the present. Look, for example, at the radically different way it has treated President Trump and President Emmanuel Macron of France.

    According to the elite media, Macron is the brilliant young technocrat who saved France from Marine Le Pen and Trump-like populism. Macron won with a stunning 66 percent of the vote. He formed a new party which swept the legislative elections, giving him a unique opportunity to reform France.

    The news media loved him. They lionized him because he was seen as the anti-Trump. Macron was smooth where Trump was rough. Macron was sophisticated and international where Trump was an American populist (oh how it pains the elite media to have a crude populist as their president when they could have someone elegant who understands fine wine and cheese).

    Unfortunately for the elite media, the Macron myth has not aged well. As voters came to know him, they were put off by his icy, imperialist aloofness. As they came to understand his proposed reforms, they decided they opposed them.

    Macron was at 64 percent approval in June. Now, less than two months later, he has fallen to 36 percent....BELOW TRUMP.

    How can the elite media explain this collapse?

    How can the elite media rationalize that their young, moderate, sophisticated technocrat is now below President Trump?

    They can't.

    So, they don't.

    However, Macron is not alone. The elite media has also failed to inform viewers that the approval ratings of other world leaders have been recorded at similarly low levels in recent months.

    For example, British Prime Minister Theresa May earned a 34 percent satisfaction rate, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had a July approval rating of 34.2 percent, and the Democratic Party in the United States received 38 percent approval in June.

    All of these approval ratings are lower than President Trump’s - but you don’t see the elite media fighting to break that news story.

    So, the next time you watch biased and uninformed TV pundits opine on President Trump's approval ratings, remember two things: President Reagan’s 49 state reelection victory in 1984 and the current ratings of other world leaders.

    Then relax and enjoy the nonsense knowing it is just that: nonsense.

    Elite media?

    What's that, media for people who can deal with articles that have more words than pictures?
