Fort Bend county and a Rice medal, I think it's a pretty safe bet.

Maybe he had a family member that went there.

This president is such an embarrassment, I’ve never seen a situation where every single day sometimes even several times a day he says or does something completely reprehensible. I can’t wait until Mueller nails this scumbag.

You may be waiting longer than you think.

This really isn't about justice or enforcing the law or correcting wrongdoing, is it? It's about nailing Trump, isn't it?

OP is proven yet again to be fake news. President Trump did not attend CNN's scripted town hall.

The photo is from the "listening session" at the White House; not the CNN town hall.

That said, the photo is not altered - it's from the AP - trying the twitter embed feature here.

I can see having notes for everything, with the number of different things swirling around a given time period.

I always thought Obama should have made use of them. The times his teleprompter went out were not pretty.

But, to each their own.

in my corpshite 'murica days, when I chaired our EC meetings, I never went in w/o being prepared w/o a bullet list and the facts to back it up.......and I ALWAYS informed the dept. heads two days in advance what the subject matter consisted of.....

the one's that showed up late got a dose of some 'stanky fangs'.....

when it's business, it's goddammmed business.....having fun outside of business is fonzies......it's really fonzies when you get the best of both worlds......

I'm an hr. away from a meeting with my primary customer......she's #pudding

and why is that......b/c the job gets done properly......that's why

I have heard the ‘45’ is on every shirt he wears and he only wears them once. They are signed and marked with the day they were worn to be auctioned off for charity later. Special days will bring loads of cash for charity.
Yeah Trump is an a-h.
I don’t think I have heard Trump quote his predecessor b hussein obama; “I’m the president, I won.” What a real a-h.

the things some folks focus on are any or either.....

a) outside their ability to comprehend
b) outside their ability to extinguish
c) love me some hate....when does the View come on
d) where are my keys
e) all the above

Two things I never hear discussed--

How much is the government going to compensate folks for seizing their guns? They arent free. A decent Sig pistol is $600+. Something like an AR-15 is well over $1000 (depending on how you outfit it). With 300 million guns out there, buying them wont be cheap.

The other thing I wonder about---why did the shooter want to kill people at the schools so badly? Was there bullying? Was there cyber harassment?

Those are certainly questions that seem to be worth at least asking.

While I certainly don’t have the answers to either one of those questions it was widely confirmed that the shooter was a white supremacist and part of several hate groups. I would be willing to bet that played a huge factor.

Based on your reps, you and Trump seem to be equally popular. Bet that makes you moist.

It's been widely confimed that you're a liar and welsher, asshat. I'd be willing to bet that plays a huge factor in your trolling here.

Quote:There is no evidence to date that the confessed school shooter belongs to any organized hate group, although he reportedly expressed white supremacist views online.

https://www.snopes.com/nikolas-cruz-whit...ist-group/

Quote:Following misrepresentations by a white nationalist leader and coordinated efforts by internet trolls, numerous researchers and media outlets spread a seemingly false claim that the man charged with killing more than a dozen people at a Florida high school belonged to an extremist group.

Law enforcement agencies say they have no evidence so far to support this claim, and the rumor appears to have been perpetrated by white nationalist trolls themselves.

If THIS is your definition of 'reprehensible' then I understand your angst. You might think about de-caf.

First, whether or not it will be auctioned for charity, the shirt is probably a 'gift' from a designer, as it was for previous presidents and first ladies. I'm actually surprised that he gives the credit to the position, and not himself. DJT or DJT45 is what I would have expected given his sizable ego. You'll notice Presidents often sign things with a dozen pens etc etc that are given away in some manner later, and of course designers 'design' for the President and first lady, including furniture and china... so this is hardly unique.

As to the comment card... good lord. No wonder we elected him. THIS is a big issue? NOT that he needs to be reminded to be empathetic. If it's serious and not merely political, that's honestly not a comment worth replying to. He's obviously been given a specific line (Like Bill's I feel your pain) that some focus group has said resonates better.... otherwise (pretty obviously) the note would have said 'be empathetic'.

Anyone in a position to influence who gives frequent speeches in public will have certain phrases they're coached to repeat.

Of course, assuming it hasn't been doctored, which once again the assumption is that the internet is 100% true and we're now asked to prove a negative.

No wonder we have shootings

There have been a few things that I have had no problem with. They're so few & far between, however, I honestly can't remember what they were.

There is nothing wrong with those notes, which the media also made clear that he never even referenced.

TDS.

OP would probably have been cool with CNN passing the president the notes he needed in advance.

I don't even know why Trump is there. The President shouldn't be going to hold hands with people over what is clearly a breakdown in local, and perhaps some state government oversight.
