Trump has been skewered on Twitter for days for not even once mentioning the 4 soldiers killed in Niger almost 2 weeks ago. So today he says (lies) that, "past Presidents, including Obama, didn't call the families of fallen soldiers" but that "he will" when the time is appropriate.

President Trump once joked that Vice President Mike Pence “wants to hang” all gay people, The New Yorker reported Monday.
The publication also reports that Trump has mocked Pence for his views opposing abortion and LGBTQ rights.
Trump jabbed at Pence after a legal scholar told the pair that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many states would probably legalize abortion.
“You see?” Trump reportedly said to Pence. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.”
And when the meeting began to focus on gay rights, Trump reportedly pointed to Pence, joking, “Don’t ask that guy — he wants to hang them all!”
This is the dysfunctional duo we have at the helm. |
Yeah, that's just hilarious, joking about hanging gay people. So funny, maybe Trump can start joking about hanging Black people next or shooting Native Americans. He's already on record about killing the families of terrorists and maybe nuking North Koreans. Such leadership! Such respect Trump has for his VP.

He's like a freaking toddler. When reporters called him on his lie he said, oh that's what people told me, I don't know if he did or didn't but I don't think he did. He basically blamed "his generals" implying they gave him the advice on how to deal with this. Claiming he was going to send letters that were definitely written this past weekend around all his golfing. Lies flow out of him non-stop.

Saying he heard it from "generals" is an unfalsifiable claim. That's what liars often do. He knows the press isn't gonna hunt down every general in the country to see where the information comes from. But he said enough for his base to hear it and they already believe it.

Gregg Popovich:
| Quote: | | This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner—and to lie about how previous Presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers—is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House: unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this President should be ashamed because they know it better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all. |

I began to think highly of Popovich the Coach many years ago despite the "rivalry" between his Spurs and the Lakers. And recently I have come to have the utmost respect for Popovich the man because of his spot-on outspokenness about or PO(tu)S.

I've always liked him and understood why his way of doing things would have never worked here. Everyone respects the hell out of him for one simple reason. Hes earned it. Id lov3 to see him get into politics but that's not happening. The zero tolerance for bs just wouldn't work. |

So, apparently, Trump's executive order actually helps enrollment in states like California (those who have created exchanges within the structure of Obamacare) while, effectively, hurting all of the states that didn't really make use of Obamacare the way it was meant to (which are pretty much all red states who voted for Trump). So not only did Trump unwittingly help blue states, he also gave Democrats even more political capital because they get to pretend that this was a terrible move (when it really wasn't for their own constituents, but only for those whose votes they are trying to still get).
Even when Trump tries to do something despicable, he F's that up too, and his own party still doesn't get it either. Hell, I didn't fully get it until I read this article.

Pop and Kerr are the most outspoken coaches about this joke of an administration. The seccesionist, white-supremacist and gun-toting Texans must hate Pop's guts.

And the one state that is an exception to the above is Massachusetts. We started the whole thing and now we are being punished the most along with the Red States. I never made use of the subsidies, but withdrawing them throws our state out of whack even more than other blue states.
I agree with Pops, he's a soulless coward (among other things). |

Politico: Trump gives his own performance a Trump-sized endorsement. The president called an impromptu Rose Garden press conference to sell reporters and the public on his job performance.
| Quote: | Friends say President Donald Trump has grown frustrated that his greatness is not widely understood, that his critics are fierce and on TV every morning, that his poll numbers are both low and “fake,” and that his White House is caricatured as adrift.
So on Monday, the consummate salesman — who has spent his life selling his business acumen, golf courses, sexual prowess, luxury properties and, above all, his last name — gave the Trump White House a Trump-sized dose of brand enhancement.
With both the Roosevelt Room and the Rose Garden as backdrops, he mixed facts and mirage, praise and perfidy in two head-spinning, sometimes contradictory performances designed to convince supporters and detractors alike that everything’s terrific, moving ahead of schedule and getting even better. His opponents were cast as misguided, deluded or even unpatriotic. |

| Quote: | Brian SchatzVerified account @brianschatz (U.S. Senator from Hawaii)
Thursday we vote on adding 1.5 trillion in debt, cutting Medicare by 473 billion, and Medicaid by 1 trillion. They are calling it "reform."
|
GOP trying to finance tax cuts for the 1% by gutting Medicare & Medicaid which serves the elderly, poor, children, disabled and vets.
Apparently, the big problem in this country is that rich people just don't have enough so let's take from the people barely scraping by and make their lives even worse.
This is today's GOP. Completely immoral, just like Trump. And don't tell me they just believe in "conservative" principles and are following their beliefs. There is nothing "conservative" about add $1.5 trillion in debt just because.
2018 can't come soon enough. |

When my nephew was in Junior High School, he was one of several students who won a city-wide science competition.
Out of the blue, about 6-months later, he received a handwritten note from President Obama telling him how proud he was of him. In the note, Obama went on to validate the importance of science and praise my nephew's interest in it. My nephew was so excited and proud to receive that letter.
I think of that note today and I weep for our country's children. |

Trump invokes death of John Kelly’s son in furor over calls to fallen soldiers
| Quote: | “Now, as far as other representatives, I don’t know,” he continued. “I mean, you could ask General Kelly did he get a call from Obama. You could ask other people. I don’t know what Obama’s policy was. I write letters, and I also call.”
Kelly’s son, 2nd Lt. Robert Kelly, died in November 2010 in Afghanistan when he stepped on a land mine. A representative for Obama did not immediately respond to a request for comment. |
Classless (bleep). |

I'm surprised he didn't say, "personally, I like war heroes who don't step on land mines." |

You have no idea what you're talking about. You're parroting superficial talking points with no deep understanding of the complexity of international diplomacy. Just like Trump. |
You have no insight and have never bleed on the battlefield. You have never been a diplomat and represented the US. You have no idea of the real enemies of our country. You only know what crap the media spits, you truly are ignorant in the below stated.
no I do know what I'm talking About, Iran is enemy number one. When you fight off an ambush and discover all of the guys were from Iran that ambushed you. And then later you learn that iran financed Hezbollah. That's how I know

Yes go look at the Island that they built up in the south china see and swear it is not a military island. Also go look who owns every main port in the world. China is the enemy
They are trying to back door us and act like everything is OK but their goal is simple to become a super power and knock us off.

Everyone's an enemy |
Except the KKKomrades |
Russia is our enemy but the deference with them is they need us more then china needs us. So in order to off set the power of china you haft to bring the enemy in close. That is why we really don't go after Russia OUT LOUID IN THE MEDIA. But we do piss them off by sending troops to train right on their border. |
