Newsweek cover

[therapist]

I thought for sure it was a spoof. Turns out it's real.

Life must be boring in your mothers basement.

Many don't read it let alone look at it so I'll raise to the bait.

What is on the cover?

Not this one it's old

Ouch, that was harsh......

I don't know what has happened in therapist's world. He used to be a positive contributor to the board. Several years ago when our oldest Son went on the run to end his life, Ron had words of hope and encouragement. Hope things get better for you.

Sure does not seem like he wants to contribute anything positive anymore. Guess some people can't handle their part losing an election.

Eerily reminiscent of the pretty much non-stop pissing and moaning during Pres Obama's tenure....

And to get this type of reaction for those 12 words.....well, words escape me.

That's the first. I think everyone would enjoy your loss of words more often.

Goto  www.newsweek.com and scroll down a bit and you'll see what he's talking about.

I'm making no comment about it.

[Moonshot_1]

I think Newsweek needs to read the Constitution to understand how the US Government works.
Clearly, they are unaware.

[therapist]

That's the second time you replied with the same witty comeback.
Is that an example of humor in your world? 

[therapist]

I made a simple comment about a surprising magazine cover. I really did think it was fake.
Just because someone brings up something, gives an opinion that may be different from
the majority, does not mean they are "stirring it up". I can only assume, that after more than 6 months
of negative news about the current administration, that many are feeling uneasy about some choices they made. It's normal to become defensive and want to lash out at any reminders of those choices.

So, Baldo, Meathead and others, I respect your restraint in not replying in kind, when attacked.
I'm not sure I can do the same, so will take leave.
 
Oh, and six2go...the fact I don't agree with you on something doesn't mean something "happened to me". I'm fine. I dont live in a basement, just enjoying retirement on the lake

Therapist, I hope your leave isn't long. No doubt, it is a little rough being left of center around here. For the record, my restraint is not that great. I have replied in kind a few times before. Luckily Willow pulls it from the public record before the embarrassment becomes too great. All you can do is be true to yourself and your beliefs. Let the cards fall where they may. Most here are respectful with that. Take care my friend.

"Oh, and six2go...the fact I don't agree with you on something doesn't mean something "happened to me". I'm fine. I dont live in a basement, just enjoying retirement on the lake"

We may not disagree as much as you think Ron. I was only making a comment that you had offered us some needed encouragement and comfort at a time when we needed it. That's all, no politics ever from this guy. Retirement is great isn't it?

Come on Kid's,, calm  down. Have a coke and a smile and shut up.

Make that a Dr. Pepper and my lips are sealed.

Where I grew up everything was a coke..

What kind of coke do you want?

aaah, orange crush.

simple life....

[Wizzard]

yes,, and we called it Pop. Seems others always called it Soda

[Serk]

yes,, and we called it Pop. Seems others always called it Soda

This might help explain the differences...

[The emperor has no clothes]

Is there nothing that is not polled anymore ?

[RDAbull]

I guess we could always look it up in Newsweek.

Back on rant now.

[Gavin_Sons]

Is there nothing that is not polled anymore ?

That was from 2003

[Pete]

I thought for sure it was a spoof. Turns out it's real.

I think your first thought was probably correct (spoof). Or maybe fake news from Newsweek.

[Savago]

I actually read the article and... they are not wrong.

Is the president golfing too much? Yep!

Should he watch TV for 5 hours a day? Nope.

Should he spend less time on Twitter? Definitely!

Is he delivering on his promises? Kind-of (he is good at signing things, but not exactly on delivering).

Is he lazy? Probably.

For sure an old fart millionaire (71 years old) born with a silver spoon in his mouth and used to bully people around is not used to have to explain himself to the people and to the press. Well, too bad: it is part of the job.

[The emperor has no clothes]

Uh Oh, here it comes. 

[baldo]

Uh Oh, here it comes.

Trump Has Quietly Accomplished More Than It Appears

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/what-trump-is-actually-accomplishing/535458/

Under Trump, gains against ISIS have 'dramatically accelerated' with nearly a THIRD of all territory taken from ISIS in Iraq and Syria since 2014 having come in the past six months

Trump Celebrates Purple Heart Day By Spending It With People Who Received Them…
A president who spends time with the troops how different.

Ben Carson’s HUD To End Obama’s Illegal Section-8 Housing Grant Scheme…
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hud-poised-to-end-obamas-illegal-section-8-housing-grant-scheme/article/2630660

I could list much more that Trump has accomplished and at 71 years old I hope I have the energy and stamina to do as much. I also see that some here are at the same age or younger and could in no way keep up with Trump. So isn't that a little hypocritical to bring up time off, especially in light of all that he has accomplished.

The picture is disrespectful but that would be nothing new for this or even other presidents so its on the one who made it.
 
I have said this before and I will say it again the s@@@ storm that has come as a result of the Trumps election has done nothing to help and been another layer of distraction and destruction that no other president in history has had to deal with, so the fact that so much was accomplished in so short a time is  nothing short of a miracle and testifies to Trump's skills.

Many of the free s@@@ army hate Trump but we have to know the source and react accordingly. The venom spewed is the gratis that was paid in money,laws,favors and an uneven playing fields being sucked back by a government that considers the people of the US more important. The people that the Congress and President are supposed to support and protect.


I also have to hope that while the head of China's government came to see Trump in Florida and recently we have gotten a 100% smack down of North Korea from the UN, an amazing feat that I doubt would have ever happened under the previous admin, which, I believe this was all Trumps negotiation efforts. This situation and others were left over from a broken and failed administration that did not cut a good deal with Iran or North Korea or even had a clue with trade agreements. Or worse yet knew exactly what they were doing and sold out the US to the world, like a husband selling his wife.

[Romeo]

Kinda looks like he does more good as a part timer than the previous prez did in the 8 wasted years he occupied the office.

[Patrick]

I think he has accomplished quite a bit in 200 days. He sure didn't have any help from our broken congress or msm.

Somebody should do a poll on that!

This here is a perfect example of what happens when one watches too much current news media (and believes all of it)

And I got in trouble for putting quotation marks around the word President LOL.  This is just ignorance coming from an ignorant left coast culture that hates all things RIGHT  (pun intended)

I didn't say there was hate in his post.  I said statements like this comes from a culture that hates all things right.  Maybe read to understand instead of read to stir the pot

Sorry, not trying to stir anything. To assume that the media culture hates the right is without merit. If you feel his explanation was ignorant, please explain how his statements are incorrect. (It is possible to have a discussion without discord)

OP didn't link to whatever he was trying to make a point about.

No one has and yet so much chatter about "it".

 Where did therapist expect this thread to go?

There, I fixed it for you. I'm sure that was an honest misspelling of his handle.
