    yes....  I'm not one to care that much about Presidential trips and such.  Information and communication is in the modern age.  The one bad one was when Bush continued his a month-long getaway as Katrina was amassing and everyone knew we had a catastrophe 3 days ahead of time.  

    With that said... Republicans were pissed that Obama took 'so much time' on vacations and golfing.  Bitching about this and promising much less leisure activity was a HUGE pillar laid out by Trump and gobbled up by his supporters.  Now, he seems to be taking many more trips and playing golf way more than Obama and suddenly it isn't a big deal, and this big lie is forgotten, forgiven, and justified.

    Trump is currently tripping while they de-bug the white house.

    I'm not stupid:  Does anyone else not care about when or how often he plays golf?  That is nothingburger of controversy if I've ever seen one.  I would rather golf, drink beer and be President at the same time than sit in an office all day.  Good for President Trump.
    If you feel that Trump can be equally productive and effective from an isolated golf course as he can in a building housing experts in everything under the sun, I don't know what to tell you. This is not a controversy, it is negligence of duty.

    so many people were fooled, and he's parading it around in front of you, and you are too stupid to care. 
    And anyone making excuses for him fail to see the weakness in his character: dodges drafts... mocks prisoners of war; plays golf every fourth day at ridiculous amounts of money to the taxpayers... mocked other presidents for doing so; etc.

    It's not even a discussion anymore. There have been some big events in the history of the US. Trump has become one of the most significant for all the wrong reasons.

    That being said, PJfan, I know you're not stupid - you're just here to dispel propaganda for your own sadistic amusement.

    But U.S. policy now, under the Trump administration, is to promote U.S. energy exports to Europe to replace Russian ones. It is both old-fashioned Cold War Russophobia and old-fashioned inter-capitalist, inter-imperialist contention.
    he always-cited examples being the invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the (alleged) invasion of Ukraine in 2014. (As though these in any way rival in their impact and ramifications of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, based on lies, in 2003, or the U.S./NATO-led assault on Libya sold in the UN Security Council as a “humanitarian” intervention supported by Russia, that turned out to be a grotesque regime change operation culminating with Hillary Clinton’s public orgasm following Muammar Gadaffi’s sodomy-murder. “We came, we saw, he died!”)

    https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/08/08/liberating-europe-from-russian-gas/

    Until anyone provides actual proof of Trump Putin collusion or that somehow Trump is compromised by Putin Russia I going to believe that Trump was angry about the Russian sanctions because they took bargaining/negotiating power out of his hands (natural gas, pipelines) without getting nothing in return except the satisfaction of yelling "now take that Putin Russia Russia Russia". 


    Said another way... you're going to believe the person you voted for and support.  No crime in that,  but intellectual honesty might be refreshing. 
    Where has Trump stated this natural gas negotiating power theory of mine? Maybe Im so supportive that I have telepathic powers!
    He hasn't personally, but those stories about the pipeline have been planted all over the place.  RT even had a piece on it.

    stupid here: I fully expected a 70 yr old businessman (3 handicap golfer) to conduct business on the golf course. Career politicians dont usually conduct business on the golf course except maybe when fundraising. 
    What would make someone stupid is believing that a 72 year old fat guy is a 3.  If he was really scratch, he should be playing from 6800-7200 (tips) and there is no way he could in that range at his age, and his out of shapeness.  He simply could not drive the ball far enough to give himself a chance to be GIR consistently.  No fucking way.

    His 3 handicap is a stretch from most accounts.

    He is a notorious cheater: moves his ball, makes excuses to replay shots, doesn't count strokes, etc.

    That being said... he is supposed to be 'okay' (but one should hope so given the amount he plays). I gather he is kind of like a bigger, oranger, just as obnoxious, Al Czervik spliced with Judge Smails.

    They haven't disappeared.  Those stories are being played on different chessboards scattered throughout a distant time and space.

    good points... I remember him being pretty good say 5 or 6 years ago, I didn't play with him but in the same club tournament. I still haven't received my prorated assessment fees from my fractional timeshare sale. Prick.

    The ones where the pawn is the most important piece on the board?

    NO WAY he's a 3.  He's anywhere from a 18-20 handicap and that's if he counts his ALL his shots, no mulligans.  He lies about stupid shit.

    Yeah. Kinda like that.  Somewhere out there people are discussing 755 and if it is important or not.  My guess is not.

    No matter what D you play chess in the pawn is the most powerful piece.

    Hahaha don't play much chess?

    I meant to respond to this earlier.  I did play a lot when I was younger.  I even owned this book.  I thought I still had it tucked away in my closet and was going to post a pic but I think I donated it.

    I know.  It's just emblematic of his dishonesty  Never trust someone that cheats at golf.
