Steve's barking; America's first twit president!

I just read that President Kennedy was America's first television president. I guess that means President Trump is America's first (twit)ter president.

Steve's Barking; When will President Trump own the presidency

When will President Trump claim the presidency?
Pres you won. Stop acting like a loser. Stop whining about being bugged when you were running, you won.
Stop talking about other presidents, your the president now so stop talking like a loser.
Stop complaining about unfair reporting, if you had studied American history you would know that it's part of the job discrimination being criticized. If you can't stop and the heat get out if the kitchen.
If you want a better health care system have your administration design one don't leave it for others( congress).
If you want to change the tax system have your administration put up a plan not an outline, and if your outline is a plan defend it.

If I was advising the president I would have told him to tell the American people, yes my people had met with the Russians before the presidential elections, our relationship with them had been deteriorating, and when I became president I felt it would be good for the nation to be getting along with them. As for my advisors  doing some work for foreign governments, well they had to make a living didn't they. As long as it didn't effect the job they were doing for America, and they weren't getting any benefits from foreign governments I didn't see anything wrong.
He should have come out on day one with this explanation.

Nixon had people meet with the North  Vietnamese during the war,before the election.

Reagan's people met with Iran during the crisis before the election.

Steve's Barking; Remember Enron

Enron at one time was number 5 in market cap.. I say this as Tesla has Market cap that is higher then any other auto company.
Amazon is in the top five market caps but on a few of it's working parts carry the many parts.
Unfortunately for Amazon or at least it investors those money makers parts are highly competitive and there competition has money to burn and there better at this things like cloud then they are.

* I really don't understand why money making companies are told there not making as much as they should, and brick and mortar stores are dinosaurs. The brick and mortar stores  pay dividends(?) yet panic in the city, sell, sell, sell. Amazon needs cheep money to grow, grow, grow yet it's buy, buy, buy.
Tesla never made money but it's worth more then any other auto company. Go figure.

Steve's Barking; The real third rail of American politics is ignorance

One keeps hearing that the third rail of American politics is entitlement programs. Nah the real third real is ignorance.
Ignorance of the pundits, ignorance of the press, and most of all ignorance of the voters.
We don't know our constitution, even though it's written in our native language English.
We don't know our history. Worse of all we don't know what those running for office really represent.

We the people don't know what socialism means. We don't understand capitalism  means (most of us think that capitalism means a free enterprise system). We don't know that the he best economic system is mixed economic system so that the free enterprise system can flourish.
I call this the third rail of politics because no one challenges the wrong headed positions of ignorance   of our laws. No one seems to know that we have a mixed economic system.

Question should everybody vote on judges and school board members, especially when don't know what they represent?
I know vote for every judicial position that comes up on the ballot and I don't know if the person I'm voting thinks that every man over 60 should be placed in a nursing home.
I vote for school board persons who may or may not believe that students should go to the bathroom during the school day.
I'm like most of my fellow Americans vote with ignorance. Should we be allowed to vote?
