  1. The New Testament revealed Jesus' two main commandments.  Matthew:

    Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

    38 This is the first and great commandment.

    39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

    40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

    I made two arguments, and I stand by both.  You didn't get the first exactly correct.

    1. The meeting on empowering women was not important for substance.  It's all about show.  It was not about empowering women.  It was about home politics.

    2. Trump insulted Macron by not showing for his speech.  Both guys have a burr up their ass about trade and ego.

    I believe both 1 and 2.  They don't conflict.

    Empowering women not of substance

    An estimated 75 million children, many of them girls, are out of school in 35 conflict-affected countries around the world, according to the UN children's agency Unicef.

    In conflict situations, girls are 2.5 times more likely than boys to not be in school.

    Some of the larger commitments were made by the UK, which said it would invest $250m, and the World Bank, which said it would contribute $2bn over five years.

    Canada said it was committing almost $310m over three years.

    According to the government statement, investments will support global action to:

    Equip women and girls with the skills needed for the jobs of the future

    Improve training for teachers to provide a better curriculum for women and girls

    Improve the quality of available data on women's and girls' education

    Promote greater coordination between humanitarian and development partners

    Support innovative education methods, especially for vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups, including refugees and displaced people

    Support developing countries in efforts to provide equal opportunities for girls to complete at least 12 years of quality education, from primary to secondary school

    So he finally had someone else tie his ties so they are the correct length.  Now he needs someone to button his coat for him when he stands up.

  4. He seems to be normalizing the pardons.  Then when he does pardon someone for his personal gain, he can claim bias.  He isn't a genius, just a sleazeball trying to game the system.

    How about this proposal:

    We ship over billions of dollars in cash. They put everything away and swear not to touch it. They can keep enriching uranium but only to a certain levels. There will be tests to prove the enrichment levels. They will send in the samples themselves. They can continue research and development. Their military sites are off limits to any inspections. They can keep testing their missiles with no recourse.

    And in the 19th c. there was no gov't welfare. People either succeeded or died or left.  Huge numbers of the he refugees coming  here now are going right to gov't assistance.  I don't need you giving me a history lesson about my very ancestors.

    The cost to support these folks falls to the citizens of the country today. They did not in the 19th c.  This is not like that at all, stop passing that lie off. We have citizens here who deserve our welfare before giving it to non citizens.

    And what has Trump done for those citizens here that do deserve our welfare?

    How the fuck does Shep still have a job?

    He signed a renewal deal in March.  And it's 3PM ET slot.

    Smith has maintained he has different duties than his primetime counterparts on Fox. “Everybody’s got a job to do. Hannity is trying to get conservatives elected. And he wants you to listen to him and believe what he believes,” Smith told The Huffington Post in 2016. “And I’m disseminating facts. It’s really apples and teaspoons. What we do is so different. He’s an entertaining guy who has an audience that he serves, and I deliver the news.”

    Before taking the helm of the breaking news division with his “Shepard Smith Reporting,” Smith anchored two programs, “The Fox Report” and “Studio B.” Among the events he has anchored are: the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013 and its aftermath; the financial crisis of 2008; the 2003 war in Iraq; and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. “I am incredibly proud to be part of a group of journalists who helped build the Fox news division from scratch 22 years ago and extremely thankful for the opportunity to continue to lead our breaking news coverage for years to come,” Smith said in a statement.

  8. Trump is the 24 hr news cycle's wet dream.  I was going to posit that the Nobel Peace nominees were to be submitted by Feb.  But that was 4 hours ago.  I feel like Brooks Hatlen after being released from prison.
