Re: A bit of US Political Satire: Bo Knows! Run Bo RUN!
I initially thought it was about the Chinese mayor when seeing the title, LOL. Was this the intention of the title? Double pun?
Is that the actual name of the dog?

Re: A bit of US Political Satire: Bo Knows! Run Bo RUN!
problem is, the current administration is bringing up these kind of issues to distract away from that because they have not been able to solve them.
Ok, they're hard issues, let us know what the new plan is so we can compare it against the other guy's plan...instead of talking about who carried a dog in a kennel on top of his car.
Yes, that is the dog's actual name. There was no pun intended to China...we have enough of our own. LOL!
We have plenty of very important things to discuss. Like 5 trillion in new debt in 3 1/2 years for a total of 15 trillion, and wars thet need to be concluded successfully, and defense, immigration, unemployment, etc., etc.kurt said:

Re: A bit of US Political Satire: Bo Knows! Run Bo RUN!
With all due respect, I strongly disagree with the idea of national debt. Majority of he debts are actually held within the country. Only a small portion belong to foreign nations. On top of that, US built its power upon military might. It doesn't necessarily need to repay the debts. If it repudiate the debts, no one can do anything about it.
On top of that, US control the international currency. It can just print more money without itself suffering from the consequences.

Donald Trump demands Scotland nix wind turbines
By BEN McCONVILLE | Associated Press – 10 hours ago.. .
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — He came, he saw, he blustered.
Donald Trump on Wednesday swept into Scotland's parliament to demand the country end plans for an offshore wind farm he fears will spoil the view at his exclusive new $750-million-pound ($1.2-billion) golf resort.
In a typically blunt display, the New York property tycoon told an inquiry into renewable energy to stop the wind power efforts in the country's north.
"Scotland, if you pursue this policy of these monstrous turbines, Scotland will go broke," he said. "They are ugly, they are noisy and they are dangerous. If Scotland does this, Scotland will be in serious trouble and will lose tourism to places like Ireland, and they are laughing at us."
Members of the committee are looking at how achievable the Scottish government's green targets for 2020 are. The plans for 11 200-foot (60-meter) tall wind turbines are part of the government's goal of positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy.
When challenged to produce hard evidence about his claims on the negative impact of turbines, Trump said: "I am the evidence, I am a world class expert in tourism."
The public gallery burst into laughter.
Trump claimed Scottish leader Alex Salmond and his predecessor Jack McConnell gave him verbal assurances a wind farm would not be built off the coast of his resort.
"They wanted my money," Trump said. "I was lured into buying the site, after I had spent my money they came and announced the plan. At the time I bought the land I felt confident the wind farm was not going to happen."
The inquiry heard that Trump paid 4.5 million pounds ($7.2 million) for the majority of the land eight miles (12km) north of Aberdeen in January 2006. The resort is due to open on July 10.
There was an irony to Trump's complaints: When Salmond backed Trump's plans for the result, he was hailed a "great man" by the tycoon.
But Trump turned on the leader over plans to put the wind turbine farm off the coast and within view of the golf course. He claims the turbines will ruin the environment and will be bad for tourism.
The course was built on sand dunes despite protests from locals and environmentalists. The dunes, which were home to rare wading birds, were bulldozed to make way for the fairways in 2009 and 2010.
Scotland's tourism agency said its own research shows 83 percent of UK visitors will not be turned off by turbines.
"We are both reassured and encouraged by the findings of our survey which suggest that, at the current time, the overwhelming majority of consumers do not feel wind farms spoil the look of the countryside," said VisitScotland chief Malcolm Roughead.

Too bad... It would've been entertaining if Trump was President. He'd destroy the world but it would've been entertaining. I love New Yorkers who live in a bubble. Silver spoon Trump thinks the New York tough guy act of his translates to the rest of the world.
