Is there any way of voting against someone without voting FOR someone else?

He also could have said, the transcript is posted on the web. I'll have someone read it to you if you are incapable of reading.
Well a certain three members here have made it pretty obvious they can't read, so yea, you probably need to get a storyteller in play for them to have half a half wits chance of understanding what's going on. :oops:

If President Trump can admit his job is harder than he thought it would be what's holding a certain three liberals on this forum back for admitting they need help with the basics of common form communication and understanding? :confused:

He could have, and maybe he should have, but he didn't. :(
Did you read what he said?
Edit:
The other possibility is that the single piece of paper, double spaced was the plan.:D

You don't. What you end up with is a nation made up entirely of people like the Indians have become. A few will work but the vast majority will just settle into whatever minimal lifestyle that can sustain them they get.

Nobody will work to make anything and thus there will be nothing to give to everyone who doesn't work. That effect has already started playing out in our country for the last 20 years or so. It why so many corporations went to other countries to make their products. There was no incentive to work and try to sustain themselves here when they are being taxed and regulated to the point their work is of no gainful or even break even value.

Lots of good explains to watch here.

I wouldn't be making fun of anyone else for saying "this job is more difficult than I thought" because most go in thinking "this will be hard, I'm just not sure how hard". Trump, on the other hand, kept campaigning on the stump with the claim, "It will be easy, being president is so easy" and many other versions of how "easy" task, a, b, c and d will be.

So yes, I get a big laugh out of him.

@ronv have you ever been interviewed in your professional life by the press?
I have but I took the time to go through a class on dealing with the media in emergency situations. A common training in the chemical industry or any other manufacturing industry that can impact the community if something goes wrong. Luckily, the same training helps in non-emergency situations and makes the interview much more professional (and easier).

It is obvious that Trump makes things up as the interview progresses. He doesn't even tr to steer the conversation to a positive direction. He keeps mentioning the campaign, the electorial college (NRA talk today! And the Fox interview today). Why does he go there? Is he complaining that he won? Is he still in shock? He needs to get past this PTSD and start leading.

Trump: The Buck Stopped There!

Today, Trump explained on FoxNews, that Flynn's security clearance was vetted by Obama so it us not his fault.
============

Note: It seems the general opinion is that his security clearance was revoked (or greatly reduced) when he was fired by Obama.

I've done both print and television.

Were you misquoted in the press? You know, the reporter wrote something factually incorrect because they misunderstood you during the original interview?

I wasn't misquoted but I can tell you one of my workers was, and it was an easy thing to see where the reporter made the faux pas. Of course when a group of officers were chiding me about it, since it was a national aviation magazine, I told them to knock the shit off. I had asked them if they were ever quoted, to which none of them responded in the affirmative. I remind them that to be mis-quoted, one must be quoted.

The television wasn't much of an interview as it was an information piece for a television station 280 miles away. I got to see the video, but not the live feed show.

I wasn't because I took my time, at the breakfast interview, with the local paper, answered all his questions and kept asking him if he had any other questions that may need clearing up. I also knew that there is a good chance you will be misquoted.

Once one of my charges made an opinion during the interview. Problem was, his opinion could not be backed up with facts and I reminded the reporter of that and asked him to edit that portion out. The young man participated in helping a stranded boater on the lake and stated the boater was drunk. No supporting evidence to that fact. No written report of the incident. Ergo ... Opinions are not facts.

Did the Obama administration vet Flynn? I suspect they did as Flynn was named early and before Trump took the oath of office.

Revoked or greatly reduces are not terms associated with security clearances.

I stand corrected, please change "revoked" to "terminated" and change "greatly reduced" to "downgraded".
