Sanders: "Ahhhh.... I have a room of North Korean missile testers, with Kim Jong-Un holding a gun to their heads, working for me in these primaries?"
Hillary: "Come on, Bernie."
Sanders: "Would you believe.... a Ben and Jerry's employee in Vermont with a Commodore 64, a dialup connection, and he knows the BASIC programming language?"Only the rushing is heard...

Re: Trump
The fix was in as shown in the leaked emails. The leadership of the Democratic Party actively suppressed the Bernie campaign and worked to suppress his vote even changing the rules so that he could not win even if he won the voting through the introduction of superdelegates in order to assure a Clinton primary victory.Originally posted by Lucas Davies View PostComment

Re: Trump
Re Trump's upcoming foreign tour, apparently some Europeans feel obliged to "dumb down" their remarks for a scheduled NATO meeting Trump will be attending. In addition, speakers are being pressured to keep their remarks short - 2 to 4 minutes each - so that they don't run beyond what the poor Donald, with his notoriously short attention span, can handle. Another proud day for America! You can google Foreign Policy mag, among other places, for more info."We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato

Re: Trump
On the other hand, many of those speakers don't have enough material to fill even 2 to 4 minutes! Keep your heads clear.....and down.....Originally posted by Peter McKillop View PostFred HarveyComment

Re: Trump
Trump may finally have gone too far.
It was reported that press corps at the White House were in the hallways near Sean Spicer's office....
"Breitbart executive Steve Bannon, White House communications director Michael Dubke, Mr Spicer and deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders held an emergency meeting.
Buzzfeed’s White House correspondent Adrian Carrasquillo said journalists in the hallway could soon “hear yelling coming from the room where officials are”.
Minutes later, televisions were turned up “super loud” in an apparent attempt to drown out the shouting and prevent reporters overhearing the heated discussions."
Everything is unravelling. American politics is in crisis. Even Republican members of Congress are talking about subpoenas and "breaking with Trump". Ann Coulter is even withdrawing support!
The worst part of it all is that waiting in the wings is.... Mike Pence. And we still got North Korea testing missiles and saying they can now strike the U.S. mainland with nukes.Only the rushing is heard...

Re: Trump
I repeat my prediction of last week, firing James Comey is the beginning of the end of President Donald Trump.
Now we learn that back in February, Trump pressured Comey in a private meeting in the oval office to end the investigation into General Flynn. Comey refused, then was fired months later. This ain't complicated folks, Trump support has been dropping slowly but steadily in the last week.
Still waiting for Republicans to jump ship, but you can see them reaching for the life jackets.Comment

Re: Trump
If your ability to curate this Trump prediction of last week is anything like how you continue to curate the number of CFC memberships ... I'm 100% positive you're spot on!Originally posted by Bob Gillanders View PostComment

Barring a massive heart attack from the merciless pounding of the media opposition Trump will serve out his term and there will be no impeachment based on the heretofore revelations.Originally posted by Bob Gillanders View PostComment

Re: Trump
Are you a betting man, Vlad? If yes, I'll give you 2:1 odds on a $50 bet. He does not get impeached during his term you win $100. He gets impeached, you owe me $50. That's better than Vegas odds (but not by much).
Same offer goes to Neil.Comment

Re: Trump
I will take that bet. By impeached we mean removed from office or impeached a la Bill Clinton where he was impeached by the house but there was insufficient votes in the Senate to remove him. I don't think either scenario is likely without a Republican death wish.Originally posted by Garland Best View PostComment

Thanks!Originally posted by Garland Best View Post
Even tho I predicted he would be impeached (I'll dig up that prediction for you), I'll take your money. And for you, I'll add a beer to the loser! Having watched The Donald's first 100+ days in office very closely I think it unlikely the majority of the house will vote to impeach.

Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
