Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘f—ing firing squad’
#1
Trump Told The MSM what he thought of them  smallroflmao I understand they thought he was going have a meeting on Access to his white house. They Got The Shock Of Their Over Rated Selves!
Quote:Donald Trump scolded media big shots during an off-the-record Trump Tower sitdown on Monday, sources told The Post.

“It was like a f–ing firing squad,” one source said of the encounter.

“Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said ‘I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed,’ ” the source said.

“The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down,” the source added.

A second source confirmed the fireworks.

“The meeting took place in a big board room and there were about 30 or 40 people, including the big news anchors from all the networks,” the other source said.

“Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong.’ He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was [a] network of liars,” the source said.

“Trump didn’t say [NBC reporter] Katy Tur by name, but talked about an NBC female correspondent who got it wrong, then he referred to a horrible network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who hosted a debate – which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room.”

The stunned reporters tried to get a word in edgewise to discuss access to a Trump Administration.
Tell it like it is President Trump, No Political Correctness Coming Out Of Your Office!  smallawesome
Call Those Lying Pieces Of Shit Exactly What They Are! LYING SCUM!
Quote:“[CBS Good Morning co-host Gayle] King did not stand up, but asked some question, ‘How do you propose we the media work with you?’ Chuck Todd asked some pretty pointed questions. David Muir asked ‘How are you going to cope living in DC while your family is in NYC? It was a horrible meeting.”

Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway told reporters the gathering went well.
“Excellent meetings with the top executives of the major networks,” she said during a gaggle in the lobby of Trump Tower. “Pretty unprecedented meeting we put together in two days.”

The meeting was off the record, meaning the participants agreed not to talk about the substance of the conversations.
The hour-long session included top execs from network and cable news channels. Among the attendees were NBC’s Deborah Turness, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd, ABC’s James Goldston, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir and Martha Raddatz,

Also, CBS’ Norah O’Donnell John Dickerson, Charlie Rose, Christopher Isham and King, Fox News’ Bill Shine, Jack Abernethy, Jay Wallace, Suzanne Scott, MSNBC’s Phil Griffin and CNN’s Jeff Zucker and Erin Burnett.
Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, plans to meet with Trump Tuesday.
There was no immediate comment from the Trump Team.

I remember a time when liberals weren't so damn sensitive. I still believe we aren't. Crying over a lost election? Lost elections are supposed to be a call for reflection or action. 

Reflect on what went wrong and evaluate the possibility that we need to adjust to social or geopolitical norms or use the loss as a call to action to mobilize the base and try harder the next time. 

I don't blame liberals for her ^^^

I blame Bush (I'm supposed to say that still, right?  tinylaughing tinylaughing  tinycool )

But seriously, the amount of crying and gnashing of teeth for the past 2 weeks is getting nauseating. What we really need to do is give them all participation medals, that seems to be the thing. Maybe that's what they are used to after a short lifetime of coddling and timeouts....

All I can say is I hope he does this 100%... right or wrong to clear the air...

Save America 's Treasures Program.
'Save America's Treasures was established by Executive Order 13072 in February 1998 by President Bill
Clinton, in conjunction with the White House Millennium Council's activities.
Instrumental in its founding was then First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Its Honorary Chair is the current First Lady...'

Imagine that! The majority of US historical landmarks have been around long before the Clinton Mafia came
aboard, yet it took until 1998 before anyone thought of using Government money in the act of restoring and
saving them.

...............................

International Fund for Ireland.
What the hell are you doing funding programs in another first-world country anyway?!
It's website reports that it receives £714 million in total from the EU, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the
States.
I understand that it's about assisting in keeping the peace in this religious hot-spot, but I fail to see how money
can buy off a belief-system that isn't directly connected to finance...! Or is it?!
SOURCE:
...............................

Legal Services Corporation.
An organisation that : '...seeks to ensure equal access to justice under the law for all Americans by providing
civil legal assistance to those who otherwise would be unable to afford it...'

A telling note is that it begn during the Nixon administration in 1971 and when a certain female who recently
ran for the Presidential office was nominated to be put on the board of Directors in 1977 by President Carter,
a young Ms. Hillary Rodham succeeded in tripling the LSC's budget in three years to $303 million dollars!
SOURCE:
...............................

National Endowment for the Arts.
(See America's Treasures Program as an example) I think art in all it's forms are terribly important, but
it's born out of prosperity in a society and I seriously think the USA needs more at this time than offering
grants to dance festivals and opera.

I could go on and on, budget cuts have direct effects on people's lives all over a country and when it
happens, the guy on the bottom is usually the one that takes the hit. But the money used in the list above can
be better used on continuing these programs once the main cost is diluted or taken away.

Director expenses, board meetings and costly quangos are the burden... unless we believe that the majority
of the money goes into helping those the organisations were constructed for in the first place.
If this were true, then I'd like to see a truthful breakdown of their budgets!

Apparently this list of budget cuts has been around in Congress since 2011 and was sponsored by a
Republican chap and 32 others.

'....An email is circulating that lists specific “Republican budget cuts” that could save the U.S. $2.5
trillion over 10 years. The list is real. The cuts are contained in legislation — the Spending Reduction
Act of 2011 — sponsored by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and cosponsored by 32 others.

The legislation is the product of the House Republican Study Committee, a group of social and fiscal
conservatives. Jordan, the committee chairman, introduced the bill in January 2011, and it has been referred
to numerous committees. No votes have been taken on the bill.

Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina has introduced a companion bill in the Senate.
It has no cosponsors, and the Senate has taken no action on the bill, which has been referred to the Senate
Finance Committee.

The email — which supports the cuts — contains some side comments questioning specific items,
such as the “death gratuity for members of Congress.” In this case, the word “WHAT???” appears after the item.

*Eliminate death gratuity for Members of Congress. WHAT???

'... A “death gratuity” is paid to the surviving spouse and/or children of a member of Congress who dies in office.
The amount is equal to a year’s pay, according to the Congressional Research Service.
For example, a $136,700 payment was added to a fiscal year 2000 appropriations bill for the wife of
Rep. George E. Brown Jr., of California, a Democrat who served 18 terms in Congress (four from 1963-1971
and 14 from 1973-1999, when he died)...'

Sky's posting had this:
'*Require collection of unpaid taxes by federal employees -- $1 billion total savings.WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?'

Here's something from a 2012 Washington Post article:

'Federal employees owe $1.03 billion in unpaid taxes'

The figures come as Republican efforts to pass legislation allowing federal agencies to fire tax delinquent
federal employees have slowed and as the White House continues to crack down on improper payments
made by agencies to delinquent government contractors and federal beneficiaries.

About 98,000 federal, postal and congressional employees owed $1.03 billion in unpaid taxes at the end
of fiscal 2010, according to records provided by the Internal Revenue Service.
The total number of delinquent employees dipped slightly from 2009, but the amount owed jumped by $32 million.

The figures are “totally unacceptable and disrespectful to hardworking American taxpayers,” said Rep. Jason
Chaffetz (R-Utah). “If you’re on the federal payroll, the very least you can do is pay your taxes.”

“Nobody’s going to take any joy in firing someone,” Chaffetz said in an interview. “But there’s enough people
there that are simply thumbing their nose at American taxpayers that it’s not acceptable.”..'

I don't know how they get through each day, do you? It's not like digging a ditch or building a highway, this
is real work where your back aches and your brow is salty with sweat. How they manage, I'll never know.
Minimum wage and all that.

There's no shovel mentioned and every hint that that all of the above are nothing more than life-long
expensive vehicles for the Beltway gang.
Anyway, back to looking for a unicorn.
