Someone left the admin of a POTUS, I guess that's the first time it ever happened.

 

 

Americans and its media would have a field day with a federal government run as a Parliament, that would increase the rumours and nonsense by 1,000,000-fold the first day.

 

 

Almost everyone is leaving!

He didn't "leave."  He's being forced out by Putin at a later date, according to an unsubstantiated story in the Times.

[row_33]

he's confessing his MI5 triple agent status and running off to join Putin

The best part of that Project Veritas thing where they tried and failed to plant a false story is that they ended up proving the integrity of the Washington Post. The fools, as is typical of fools, believed their own BS.

NBC Washington got its hands on White House work orders, show a request to replace the toilet seat in the Oval Office in late January, and specifies the project be completed “after hours please.”

Trump is wasting taxpayer money by ordering a new toilet seat AND demanding that laborers be paid overtime to install it after hours?!?

 

IMPEACH! NEVER TRUMP!! RESIST!!!

[B-Man]

As a quick reminder to those hyperventilating about Flynn

 

At this moment 4 weeks ago,

 

Rand Paul's ribs were great,

 

some liberals were floating Franken for 2020,

 

other libs envisioned Conyers chairing impeachment hearings

 

Elizabeth Warren was still part Cherokee

 

& Joe Barton was about to file for reelection.

 

And it was all covered by Matt Lauer.

No no no.  Trump replaced the toilet set because he was afraid he would catch blackness from Obama

 

Narrative folks.  Stick the narrative

So Trump wasted taxpayer money to collude with Russia for a Russian-made swastika-laden toilet seat so that he could avoid having to sit on the same seat as a black man?!?

 

IMPEACH!

Now you're getting it

 

Paying OT to replace a toilet seat = waste of taxpayer funds

Multi million dollar overrun in the development of the Obamacare website = working out the bugs

THIS IS WHY AMERICANS DON’T TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Pick up today’s Washington Post and scan the lead story headlined “GOP Secures Senate Votes To Pass Tax Bill.” So far, so good. Then check out the first sub-head: “MOST BENEFITS FOR BUSINESSES, WEALTHY.” That’s the controlling assumption of the analysis – not “objective reporting” – that follows.

 

The story’s lede claims the bill “bestows massive benefits on corporate America and the wealthy while delivering mixed blessings to everybody else.” Tax cuts mostly benefit the rich is the standard Democrat talking point and Post reporters Erica Werner and Damian Paletta dutifully frame their reporting in such terms.

But do the wealthy get bigger tax cuts than the middle class or the poor? Depends on how the effects of the cuts are measured. The Post reporters cite a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis that, among much else, concludes “only 44 percent of taxpayers would see see their burden reduced by more than $500 in 2019 but that high earners would fare much better than the poor under the bill.”

 

What the Post reporters don’t tell readers is that other measures of the Senate tax cut bill’s effects contradict their chosen – Democratic – narrative. To cite just one example, the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards looked at the aggregate percentage cuts by income range. Taxpayers earning $40,000 to $50,000 annually would see a 51 percent reduction. Similarly, those earning $75,000 to $100,000 would see a 17 percent aggregate reduction.

 

And the wealthy? Edwards calculated a 5.8 percent cut for those earning $1 million or more annually.

 

There other ways to slice and dice the effects of the Senate bill, but don’t look to the Post story for such useful information. And then journalists wonder why most Americans don’t believe them?

 

Their disbelief is deep indeed, as seen in the recent HarvardHarris Poll, as reported by The Hill, which said “65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media. That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats.”

Oh no, someone out there in the vast media land made a mistake, don't trust anyone! 

 

Oh no, the Presidents twitter just barfed up evidence he knew Flynn lied to FBI, except...we promise Trump didn't write that, his lawyer did. Obviously lie, but that's ok, he is the president

After watching Trump honor Pearl Harbor Veterans, I was proud of him for the very first time. I hope it is not the last.

So CNN misreported the date of the Wikileaks email that @DonaldJTrumpJr received, meaning that the entire point of the story -- that the campaign might have gotten advance warning of the leaks -- is wrong.

 

Wow.

 

 

Email pointed Trump campaign to WikiLeaks documents that were already public
