Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

  1. * FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
  2. * SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
  3. * THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
  4. * FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
  5. * FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
  6. * SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

  1. * FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
  2. * SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
  3. * THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
  4. * FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
  5. * FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
  6. * SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
  7. * SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

  1. * FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
  2. * SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
  3. * THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
  4. * FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
  5. * FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

  1. Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
  2. End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
  3. American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
  4. School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
  5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
  6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
  7. End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
  8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
  9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
  10. Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

Online news sources report that Hillary Clinton is responsible for the closing of the old thread.

Forum posters with ties to the Clinton Foundation used undue influence to shut the thread down and stop the dissemination of truth being spread therein.

The trump administration, when it rises to power in a few weeks, promises to open an investigation into the proceedings, throwing the full weight of a newly honorable CIA and DOJ.

Insiders also strongly suggest that although there is no evidence, George Soros will likely be implicated in the Threadgate scandal.

 
Wait wat?

I'm not around enough to have a nuanced understanding. Locking the ACA, Obama & Trump threads is accomplishing what?

Was there anexplanation?

So Trump went off yesterday because of a bad review of his tourist trap restaurant? Well that sounds a little unhinged.

 
Honestly that Philly calzone is delicious though.  And last time I placed a carryout order they didn't even ask if I wanted a toddler on the side, so that's a safe option.
I've brought my toddler to Comet several times and have only been asked to let him see the underground dungeons like three times, max.

Sort of.  Buried inside the restaurant review were some tough shots taken at Trump the person and his presidency.

But really the feud is with VF editor Graydon Carter.  About 25 years ago when Carter was writing for Spy magazine, he made a joke about Trump having small hands.  Trump never forgot about it.  Trump would even include in correspondence with Carter (I swear I am not making this up) outlines of his hands drawn in gold Sharpie to demonstrate the joke was off-base.

As we all know, #### like this happened with Theodore Roosevelt all the time.

 
Guy Fieri was a big fan of the roast pork and broccoli rabe calzone IIRC.  I don't think they got into the kiddie porn during that Diners Drive Ins and Dives episode, though.  Maybe he took one with him in that old Camaro when he left town.
Also, this is just gold from Tobias  :lmao:

There had been a warning that perhaps all of the political threads could be shut down if personal attacks of a certain nature continued. I assume that was behind the Trump thread lock, not sure about the Obamacare thread, but there may have been some offending posts deleted before the lock.

I actually think Teddy might have taken exception to being called a short-fingered vulgarian.  He probably would have challenged a writer to a bout under the Marquis de Queensbury rules.

hey, some of it *was* about the restaurant review itself. this happened, for example.

Take the pedophile schtick to another thread, please.  Its not helpful imo.

Lots to discuss about Trump, his transition team, his cabinet picks, and other proposals...

 
So at least we're starting to get an idea of how much access to the Trump family will set you back in dollars.

It's reported that coffee with Ivanka Trump would run you at least $77,888.  Her price may have gone up recently after being pictured sitting in on a meeting with Japanese Prim Minister Abe.

So all you foreign and domestic companies out there... start your bidding!  But wait, the online auction site doesn't list the auction anymore after it was removed 1 hour after a journalist asked questions about it.

Well...hmm...if only there were other ways to funnel money to the Trump family in order to gain access...will have to think on that one for a while.
