'pour over': "to make expensive covfefe"
No?

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: |  | | | But that was just Trump trolling his detractors, entirely deliberately! You know that, right? Right???!!! I mean, he is a very stable genius, he knows all the best words!
Christ Almighty. The dumbing-down of America is complete. A country led by a narcissistic, egocentric, compulsive manbaby with barely 4th grade linguistic capability and an understanding of economic and global relations to match. What could possibly go wrong? | | | | | Talking of the economy; stoking an economy that was running well and close to full employment with massive tax cuts is like throwing petrol on a barbecue
Will be interesting to see how it turns out, I don 't believe anybody ever tried that before.
Anyway good for some people.
Due to the labour shortage, more and companies in the US Mid-West are employing people regardless of criminal records or drug usage Source (may be behind a paywall)
Or google for "US companies turn to felons to fill labour shortages".

Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that? | | | | | "What is interesting about this is that what happened is a hardline crank in Iran just randomly made this comment, Fox News writes a story on it, and then Trump tweets it"
"He had every opportunity to call people in his own Department of Homeland Security and State Department to ask whether or not this was true.
And they would have told him it wasn't,"
"Instead, he relies on Fox News.
And the scary thing is that he's increasingly relying on sources like Fox News to get his intelligence rather than the professionals in his own government." Source
The number of Iranians naturalized in the U.S. declined after the deal was signed, from 10,344 in 2015 to 9,507 in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security. In 2014, the number of Iranians who were made citizens was 9,620. Source | The following 2 users would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

Amazing. Hats down to an effort to free academia of politics, a step towards European, merit based ways. I knew he was going to do this, I still have to acknowledge his guts. Yo.

The OPEC Monopoly must remember that gas prices are up & they are doing little to help. If anything, they are driving prices higher as the United States defends many of their members for very little $’s. This must be a two way street. REDUCE PRICING NOW! | | | | | Another nutty tweet from Spanky, so who are the "many of their members" being defended?? Maybe he thinks OPEC are in the EU
The OPEC members are Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Qatar, Indonesia, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Nigeria, Ecuador, Angola, Equatorial Guinea and Congo.

Almost Friday, did I ever post that phrase before? | Quote: |  | | | The owner of a Chinese factory said it has been hired to make flags for President Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Li Jiang owns a flag-making company in China’s Zhejiang province that reportedly made flags for the campaigns of both Trump and his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in 2016. | | | | | Source

Meanwhile | Quote: |  | | | The man who helped co-author President Trump’s bestselling book, “The Art of the Deal,” tore into the president for his recent tweet bragging about his writing skills.
“He is incapable of reading a book, much less writing one,” Tony Schwartz tweeted on Wednesday. | Quote: |  | | | Tony Schwartz@tonyschwartz
Trump's tweet that he has "written" bestselling books is one more deceit & delusion. He is incapable of reading a book, much less writing one. | | | | | | | | | | |

'Trump Baby' balloon gets green light from London mayor Source
The giant balloon will be tethered to the ground in Parliament Square Gardens and won't be able to float higher than 30 meters (or 98 feet).

5 days ago | Quote: |  | | | Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold. I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov. | | | | | And today | Quote: |  | | | Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Congress - FIX OUR INSANE IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW! | | | | | Trump has succeeded in making the Congressmen (and women) run around like mindless rats in a maze.
I am sure he is having a good time but to no purpose or strategy?
Exactly how his tweets will help the GOP in the mid term elections is a mystery to me |
