    White House sends email praising Trump's budget, cites article MOCKING Trump's budget

    This pen is for you and your strong stance against children and the elderly.


    Because nothing says we are completely incompetent and out of touch with reality like sending out an email and creating a link on the White House’s official daily briefing page that completely blasts your most recent medieval budget plans. If you look at the bottom of this official White House daily briefing page, you will see a link to the Mulvaney-inspired lambasting that Alexandra Petri wrote up in her recent “Trump’s budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why.”

    [​IMG]
    Some people are complaining that the budget proffered by the Trump administration, despite its wonderful macho-sounding name, is too vague and makes all sorts of cuts to needed programs in favor of increasing military spending by leaps and bounds. These people are wimps. Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has called it a “hard power budget” which is, I think, the name of an exercise program where you eat only what you can catch, pump up your guns and then punch the impoverished in the face. This, conveniently, is also what the budget does.

    This budget will make America a lean, mean fighting machine with bulging, rippling muscles and not an ounce of fat. America has been weak and soft for too long. BUT HOW WILL I SURVIVE ON THIS BUDGET? you may be wondering. I AM A HUMAN CHILD, NOT A COSTLY FIGHTER JET. You may not survive, but that is because you are SOFT and WEAK, something this budget is designed to eliminate.

    Whoever thought this was a smart move didn’t even read the second paragraph of the article! Holy moly! The level of idiocy followed by the lack of any and all critical thinking lets you know that whoever was tasked with finding articles supporting Trump’s disastrous budget is definitely someone who voted for Trump. The rest of Petri’s piece is hilarious—and I mean that in the pure definition of hilarious as you’re laughing while going slightly mad because it’s so close to the bone.

    And if you have the stones, read this. How absolutely EMBARRASSING!

    Oh how nice it would be to have an idiot like Dubya in the White House instead of the abomination residing there now.

    Are you embarrassed yet?

    No not one bit. Knew that PRESIDENT TRUMP wasn't an accomplished ass kisser nor a FN politician, guess that is in some ways the same thing, when I voted for him.

    In eight years we will see how tings stand..

    I keep thinking that I will wake up and this will all be a nightmare. Well, it is a nightmare, but not one that only comes with sleep.

    I am frightened for my children's sake, at the damage this regime is doing.
    I am embarrassed at what the rest of the world sees.
    I am disgusted that some voters put party before country and that our general level of education has fallen so much that others were fooled by such an obvious bloviating con man.
    The picture depicts incompetence, ignorance, hypocrisy, and greed.

    I'm so glad he beat out Hillhag. :D Just think of this as a MESSAGE from the people. We are tired of the same old. Better get with the program Republicans and Democrats! You had better listen to us moderates.

    CLOUD NINE, baby!

    I would remind you that, in many ways, Hillary was an abomination.

    No offense intended, but the majority of voters also rejected the con woman.

    Perhaps the most disappointing thing about Hillary was she did allot of things and said allot of untruths she really didn't need to
    But it feels like Lady Folly is crying to the public square a bit louder than lady wisdom
    as per Proverbs https://www.slideshare.net/MichaelScaman/proverbs-69604150

    Trump? well... he needs to go to charm school and tone down the rhetoric.. but his business sense may help him in many ways
    He needs to be more diplomatic and listen to his advisors

    Stuffing corrupt and/or incompetent people in charge of departments. Insulting our allies. Attacking a free press. Giving fake news an audience. Dividing our country as never before.
