80% of the state's population lives in the eastern third. The western 2/3 are all western nebraska obviouslyyyy

 

This happens in lots of states.  Everything in Illinois that is outside of Chicago is 'downstate', even if it is the far northwest part of the state.

And then we have this.  Trump going rouge against the advise of his foreign policy advisors. He gives congrats to Putin on his sham election win. 

What an idiot.  So he is a team of one.  He is so full of himself that he doesn't need his advisors counsel.  Why would anyone want to work under him if they know he will

continually override their sound advise?  What if he goes rouge with that finger on 'the button'?:ahhhhhhhh  

 

 

The admin responds in quote below.  So  we want to change NK also - do we congrat Kim on his election??

One of the most startling leaks — and stunning revelations — of this whole administration has left President Trump and his senior staff furious and rattled. The Washington Post reports in its lead story: "Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers [yesterday] when he congratulated ... Putin on his reelection — including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating 'DO NOT CONGRATULATE.'"

Why it matters: The speed and sensitivity of the leak prompted immediate finger-pointing within the administration, as aides reeled from a leak that could only have come from a small group of people, each of whom is trusted with sensitive national secrets.

 
  • Possible motives include concern about how Trump is handling Putin, frustration by the officials about Trump ignoring their advice, or internal power games.

A White House official, furious about the WaPo story: “This is the way Trump is. If he’s doing business with you or working with you in some way, he’s going to congratulate you."

  • The official said: "The idea he’s being soft on Russia is crap. He approved Javelin missiles to Ukraine, closed the consulate in San Francisco, approved the sanctions. ... But ... he doesn’t want his personal relationship [with Putin] to be acrimonious."
  • Trump's view is there’s a lot of business to be done, and overlapping interests, and if the relationship between the two countries "is to rebuilt, the line has to be through the personal, leader-to-leader level.”

What this whitehouse can't fathom, because they are a group of idiots jockeying for position to kiss the ass of president idiot is that: the relationship with Putin is acrimonious either way, because he views the US and NATO as enemies and is actively running operations to weaken us all.  By doing things like congratulating him for his "re-election" you look like an ass kissing moronic puppet to the rest of our allies and it looks like you are endorsing Russian style "democracy."  Including assassinating foreign exiles on British soil, meddling in the US and other NATO allies election,  and disqualifying opponents from running in elections (who knows why when Putin's stuffing the ballot boxes anyways).

 

Trumps view is bull, its the same crap republicans (rightly) crapped on Obama for with his "Russia reset".  The reason leaders like Putin and Netanyahu hated Obama is because eventually he at least had the common sense to see when they were trying to pull the wool over his eyes (IMO).  Trump doesn't have an ounce of that common sense and that's why these guys love him, they can show up with their "Strong Man" act and smile and tell Trump how great he is and Trump fawns all over them like a teenage kid with a crush.
