Or in churches, or academia, or the local dogcatcher's auxiliary? If you've ever interacted with people on any level you have some degree of political experience, no matter how small. And Trump has a LOT of interaction under his belt. I would think his past has prepared him to be one of our most savvy politicians.tkdkerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-41274559798441268602017-01-29T19:04:05.110-06:002017-01-29T19:04:05.110-06:00I suspect that his position on "torture"...I suspect that his position on "torture" might be Good Cop/Bad Cop.<br /><br />He says he believes in torture, and thinks that it really works. But he says he understands that SecDef Mattis does NOT believe in it, and that he'll therefor defer to his expert.<br /><br />Do you think that the military just MIGHT be able to say "We can't mistreat you now, but if you don't give us the info we want, Psycho Trump may demand that we REALLY torture you. Can't you work with us just a little bit so our consciences can be clear???"Mark Matisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-44298189299667308942017-01-29T15:01:10.577-06:002017-01-29T15:01:10.577-06:00So far, Trump has done what he said he would do an...So far, Trump has done what he said he would do and meant everything he said. I seriously doubt that he's going to go soft on immigration policy now, as Adams implies. I think it's more likely he's building a foundation to really go to town: creating a precedent of these BS court orders and the Democrats' obvious siding with foreigners over Americans.

The man is not stupid. He just doesn't talk like he values showing off his college degree more than what he can do with itLastRedoubtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-22041491185146539912017-01-29T10:36:04.154-06:002017-01-29T10:36:04.154-06:00Yep, he's playing them like a puppet master!Yep, he's playing them like a puppet master!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
