Donald Trump and US politics

Oh yeah, Bernie's wife under investigation for fraud is great. I hope that entire socialist family gets taken down a notch.

Very fake news CNN producer John Bonifield admits that the whole Russia story is just about ratings and that they intentionally gaslight liberals and make useful idiots out of them. Spicy!

Well, that is good to know. I don't want to trigger you while making fun of Justin Trudeau and the shit he does.

you won't I can say proudly I didn't voted for that skunk. I know too well the political history of my country, unlike some other who do not read the books.... Is father is the worst prime minister our country ever had. He took so many bad decisions I couldn't list all of them here. His son is the same arrogant man his father was.

Alexandre or Michel? Unless you meant Justin Castreau.

I want DNA proof that Justin Trudeau is NOT the love child of Margaret Trudeau and Fidel Castro.

Why? Although intriguing, it would change nothing. Ancestry is not an argument.

Just out of curiosity. I also wonder if he would have become PM of Canada if everyone knew his father was Fidel Castro.

In some quarters, it might've enhanced his appeal.

On the face of it, though, it shouldn't matter who his father was, except as regards eligibility. Of course, in practice, a hypothetical Adolf Hitler, Jr. probably wouldn't have gone far in politics, either. =0[.]o=

In violation of my own posting standards I am posting a link. It is to the weekend's NYT which has a list of every lie Trump has told since taking office. What is most interesting is that the lies have all been fact checked. It isn't fake news made up by some leftist. These are the president's words that are false, fake, and not true. Some are more consequential than others, but the sheer scope of his lying is astounding. In reading through them it becomes very clear that he doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time and just makes stuff up on the fly so he looks good or he needs to take credit for things he didn't do. Quite sad.

When he says "In two weeks I will do this/you will hear about this/something related to X will come up" He is most likely bullshitting.

About the travel ban:

"

What the decision means in practical terms is that anyone coming to visit a family member in the United States, or anyone who has a relationship with a school, an employer, a nonprofit organization, or another entity in the United States, is exempted from the ban. The court was clear this has to be a “bona fide” relationship — meaning that it cannot be manufactured just to get around the ban — but that is the majority of visitors.

It's nice that everyone is happy with the middle ground ;)

I remember that people used to complain that Obama hurt the U.S.A standing around the world:

"

"Trump’s character is also a factor in how he is viewed abroad. In the eyes of most people surveyed around the world, the White House’s new occupant is arrogant, intolerant and even dangerous," the study said.

While "among the positive characteristics tested, his highest rating is for being a strong leader," researchers reported, "fewer believe he is charismatic, well-qualified or cares about ordinary people."

I thought folks liked when people "told like it is".
These snowflakes and their political correctness are indeed a pain in the ass.

About the AHCA (aka Trumpcare), here's what Francis Rooney(R-FL) said:

"

“I happen to think that tax cuts stimulate investments, which is what this tax cut is. Obama put in a tax on investments, cutting those taxes are very important to stimulate investments and job creation.”

Yeah, I remember during the campaign, that was exactly what Trump supporters were asking for:



He even went further:

"

“Sometimes these people don’t understand how capitalism works,” the Congressman opined about people on Medicaid. “You incentivize investment, people deploy capital, create jobs, build companies and put more people to work so they can afford all these things and not have to be on Medicaid.”

Yeah... give rich people money and then pray they will reinvest in the economy. No way they would travel around the world with it. No way they would spend with overpriced luxuries that other rich people are selling. Yeah, this money won't stay with the top 1%, it will trickle down as it have before when this was tried...

(BTW it didn't work when it was tried before)

White House says Syria’s Assad preparing another chemical attack

Sigh... The Saudi goat molesters must be really impatient with Trump and the shitty results in Syria so far.
