Wait...is he saying that every movie produced in the US needs to be 100% filmed in the US or be hit with a tariff? So if the plot has the characters traveling to London or Paris or Barcelona, they can't film there without paying a fine?

Paris, TX & London, KY will do in a pinch.

Maybe these idiots can overplay their hand. Seems Noem is worried enough about repercussions that she made the point above. I really hope that means she's been legally advised that she could get in trouble for such an obvious misuse of government assets.

The demonstrations. The townhall meetings. The clumsy, heavy-handed brutality of the destruction of people and the republic. Who knows? Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope to get enough Americans awake. 

I remain as emotionally detached as I can. The Trump flags still proudly fly on the ranch road where I live.

I didn't want to do it. Trump made me do it.

Ok, I'm just reading between the lines here. He wants Alcatraz to be reopened, and he wants more American movies. Someone call Nic Cage; the President wants to watch The Rock 2. Maybe the first time I've ever been eye to eye with Trump.

Are we at threat of being attacked by a known or unknown foe?   Because it seems like we are reading comic books in the alley as a nation while the real (and dangerous, and Anti- American) world is collectively saying WTF.

Uhhh

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."\

It's the WHOLE FUCKING OATH.

Also to address later insanity.  Does this dipshit realize at its height Alcatraz housed 312 inmates.  I was there last summer, it's small.

We should all be laughing our asses off, but unfortunately we don't have anyone around that will tell him "Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the phrase 'national security threat' and expect anything to happen."

I love the people that defend this shit by saying he’s doing it to “troll the libs” like that makes it any more presidential and less embarrassing 

People who defend this shit don't want him to be presidential and can't be embarrassed.

People who defend this shit defend this shit.

This just illustrates how in touch Trump is with America.

I fondly remember my sisters on Christmas day opening 12 gift wrapped dolls from Santa. What's in your stocking there? 8 more dolls???!!!! Wow!

Time to go over Aunt Norma's.

Goddam 17 more fucking dolls!

Just enough space for members of Congress and the Supreme Court that defy him.

I just visited Alcatraz for the first time last summer, so this hits close to home.

I also imagine it would be more cost effective to renovate and expand a 175 year old stone prison built on a rock in the middle of a bay in the most expensive city in America than it would be to (for instance) expand some federal prison in Bumfuck, Mississippi.

There are times that fool from queens just makes me guffaw, and this is one of them. Anyone who has done the basic tour of Alcatraz can tell you it would take billions to make it even a passable functional prison. 
 

Every once in a while the old Trump who was terrible but could troll with the best of them still comes out. The problem now is he’s surrounded by sycophants and by next week this will become a real thing.

For the record, Ed Harris wasn’t wrong and just wanted the benefits he was promised.

Agreed, because when I vote for a president and think about the qualities I want in a leader of our country, what is really important to me is a guy who can spew a bunch of ridiculous bullshit online to troll people who are different than me. I know we ban trolls here for being trolls, but trolling from the Oval Office is a actually great quality to have in the leader of the free world.

I'd like to see a reporter bring up baseball bats and gloves for boys. While there are still company HQ in the US, some of the larger companies manufacture overseas. Marucci (save wooden bats) are produced in China as is Easton. Some companies like Wilson and Rawlings claim they manufacture all gloves in the US and some internet sources say that as well, a company rep for Rawlings admitted it's Taiwan. While having 37 bats (vs 37 dolls) is highly unlikely, a bat is much more expensive....

Or shoes. Children outgrow shoes at a great rate and wearing flip flops in winter may be a Texas thing, but that's frostbite in South Dakota.

The only gloves manufactured in the US are super-high end gloves costing $300 +++.  You can go straight up Nokona and make that $600.
