Read this online about the price we will pay for Trump's proclivity to lie and exaggerate: "First, Trump's lies, exaggerations and self-serving boasts may not bother his most loyal followers, but the rest of the world is not a Trump MAGA rally. Everyone else notices that much of the time the President of the United States cannot be believed. Second, this loss of credibility comes at a steep price. It doesn't only affect Donald Trump and his closest aides, who faithfully bolster his falsehoods, damaging their own reputation. It ultimately exacts a price from the entire nation. The President's chronic practice of saying and doing what he thinks is good for him is making the country itself less trusted by its allies, less fiscally sound and less respected around the world. America and its people are already paying, and the costs will continue to mount."
Dave I read that NASA scientist now say aliens have visited the earth and evidently I am supposed to believe it. Even though the actions of many may warrant that statement where’s the link to your online article and is it from an unbiased source...
Here we go again, the left is so full of ********. Obama tells us that we are going to see the debate about health care "reform" on CSPAN. It never happens in fact the wicked witch of the West Pelosi tells us that "we have to pass the bill before we know what's in it." Obama tells us that we can keep our health plan and doctors and that insurance premiums will drop by 2,500. THESE ARE ALL LIES!!! It changes our health care system. Our embassy annex in Benghazi is attacked by terrorists. This could be detrimental to the upcoming elections. Obama sends Susan Rice out to multiple talk shows telling everyone it was a spontaneous attack after an internet video. THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE!!! Obama releases 5 very dangerous terrorists who are imprisoned in Gitmo in exchange for Bowe Berghdal who Obama states "served with honor and distinction." Berghdal was a deserter. We let very dangerous terrorists go on A COMPLETE LIE!!! The economy under Obama tanks for 8 years. Jobs move to other countries. Obama tells us the 2% GDP growth is "the new normal" and that jobs can't be brought back "without a magic wand." Trump's economy approaches 4%. Obama's excuse is nothing but A COMPLETE LIE! (as a side bar, the asshole actually tries to take credit for the Trump economy after saying that it wasn't possible.) Obama lied. He lied about critically important issues like changing our health care system and the economy. His butt kissers voters and media never came close to calling him on any of it. The fact that folks in the media have any concern of veracity in the White House now is ludicrous. Shortly after he took office Trump claimed that he'd been "wiretapped" during the campaign. The media ripped him up and down. We've found out the Trump campaign individuals were recorded and in fact there were at least one spy in the Trump campaign. After all that ******** criticism about his "wild claims" not one media member ever admitted that in the end he was right and they were nothing but lying, critical assholes. Just how far does someone have to have their head up Obama's ass to think that Trump is the only one in the White House that has a problem with facts?
SCOFRO not quite done yet adding train cars Bill. But that train is starting to look shinier each and every day. If you put your good ear to the west...you can hear the whistle....
The stares of Chuck and Nancy remind me of how my parents looked at me after returning from my high school's parent-teacher conference.
Trump's self serving criticism of his National Intelligence community's veracity and accuracy of their report to Congress is just a reckless endangerment of what they are trying to accomplish and to our nation which they are trying to protect. Sen. Mark Warner, the senior Democrat on the Senate’s intelligence panel, said in a tweet that, "The President has a dangerous habit of undermining the intelligence community to fit his alternate reality. People risk their lives for the intelligence he just tosses aside on Twitter." A Growing Chorus of Republican Critics for Trump’s Foreign Policy
When ISIS was called the JV did the intelligence community disagree with the president? When Obama stated in a presidential debate that Romney's claim that Russia was a real threat was t throwback to the 80's did the intelligence community disagree? The media is reporting that the president has said that N. Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, but that is a lie. Sanctions are still in effect an will be until real changes are made. Western Europe has hid behind the US's nuclear skirts for decades. Most have not come close to living up to the commitments that they made regarding defense spending. If their defense means that little to them then what's the point of NATO? Let me get this straight, the leftist media that ranted that we should get out of Vietnam because the war was unwinnable and cheered when we did even though a bloodbath followed, now thinks that pulling out of Afghanistan would lead to a disaster?
A few other observations. The greatest future threat to the US is not Russia it is China. The economy of Russia is about equal to that of California. China on the other hand is a world economic power. They are not only an economic rival of the US but they have used that economy to build a significant military. The prior administration stood by with their thumbs up their asses and China built islands in the South China sea and are turning them into military bases. (Coincidentally during this time the sons of Biden and Kerry has an investment firm that made tens of millions from Chinese investments.) China's economy has grown with the help of unfair trade practices and the theft of foreign intellectual properties. The Trump administration has met that problem head on. If sometime in the future there is a standoff between these 2 powers the deciding piece of the puzzle will be the side Russia falls on. Naturally the left in this country is demanding that we do all we can to cool our relationship with Russia. Just who is doing their best to protect this country?
Point well made about Russia siding with either the U.S. or China but I can't see how we can trust an ally who it is known by our inept and clueless ( per Trump ) intelligence communities to have meddled in our presidential election. And if you put it to vote how many Americans out there..... even Trump lovers believe he has worked some sort of magic over N. Korea to where they truly are intent on disarming their nuclear arsenal? It's probably 75-25 that wouldn't believe that is true.
Israel is a strong ally of the US even though the Obama administration actively interfered in their elections. And while we're speaking of the incompetent one why did he have our cyber defense department to "stand down?" Perhaps he was exercising some of that flexibility after his reelection he sent a message to Vlad about. Obama cyber chief confirms 'stand down' order against Russian cyberattacks in summer 2016
