“This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water,” he said. “Rarely have we had an experience like it and it certainly is not good.”

[Reservoir Dog]

"This is his 294th day at a Trump property out of 953 days as so-called president. That’s 31% of his so-called presidency."

He canceled his trip to Poland saying he has to monitor the hurricane. Then went golfing.

[Burn1dwn]

That's pretty funny.

[FSchmertz]

That's pretty funny.

It's not going to be so funny when Chump tries to fire them for contradicting him.

It is a representative democracy, you frickin morons. Look it up.

It is a representative democracy, you frickin morons. Look it up.

Or, as we call it here in the US, a republic. You people fund a royal family and fawn over them when they get married or download another inbred royal

You can describe your representative democracy as a republic too, since it is both. If you are struggling with this one just consult a dictionary. There's no point arguing what words mean, that is what a dictionary is for. Look up the word, and if you disagree you're an ignorant moron. That simple. The failing fathers drew the distinction between direct democracy and a republic aka representative democracy, and it's been confusing dimwits over there ever since. There's always some moron who doesn't understand what the words mean and assumes they are mutually exclusive.

Coming from someone who lives in a failing nation, I'll just chuckle a bit

Enjoy that plunging GBP

It's plunging because of the brexit mess, which you support and I don't, dimwit. I am being proven right by the passage of time, whereas you are being proven wrong. Also entirely unrelated to you not knowing what words mean.

[FSchmertz]

Both today and in the Framing era, “democracy” has been generally understood to include representative democracy as well as direct democracy.

....

But there is no basis for saying that the United States is somehow “not a democracy, but a republic."

Oh, you think I was pulling for Brexit because it would help the pound? How adorable!

No, when you claimed to think it would be great for the UK I always assumed you were doing your weird thing where you lie to yourself and everyone else like when you claim to be a democrat. Are you admitting it now on this one?

I think its more anxiety than reality. Once BJ can force it though it will go back up

You are as ever ignorant on economic topics. All forcing a no deal through means is we have to negotiate the same trade deal from a weaker position, with the same impossible problem on the Irish border. The reason fear of a no deal brexit is depressing the pound is that it will be disastrous for trade and cause a prolonged recession. I actually doubt even Johnson believes no deal is the way to go, he just thinks persuading the Eu he will go through with it means they'll cave. Thing is, they simply can't. If we walk away with all the good bits of the EU and leave the liabilities behind, it would just collapse.

[PimpDaddy]

Meh, the pound has been artificially propped up for decades now so a nice correction is long overdue. And it puts you people on sale

On sale, and still the rest of the world doesn't care.

The world doesn't care but here you are in not one but two threads about Brexit showing just how little you care.

Any thoughts from any righties on this?

[CHEEZY17]

It's Inappropriate? We wish he wouldnt do stuff like this? He does himself no favors when doing these things? Someone should tell him that this kind of thing shouldnt happen? Believe me: we know it looks bad and that there is no defense of it. Sorry to break it to the Lefties though: stuff like this is not gonna all of a sudden make us vote for Biden or Warren.

It's not just inappropriate. It most likely is a violation of the Constitution. But that doesn't bother the righties at all.

You will have to cite where that is outlined in the Constitution...
