    Perfecto!!!

    Great Job, Well Done....

    "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies"

    I've got to respectfully disagree on Trumpets #1 Lie, noted below. Imho
    , Lie #1 is Make America Great Again.
    Which insunates it isn't and hasn't been great, since God knows when. Lie #1 (isn't even his own creation), as pitfully bad as His Wife's plagiarism of Michelle Obama...

    Let's have a look at his top five whoppers.

    5. “The overall audience was, I think, the biggest ever to watch an inauguration address, which was a great thing” - 26 January 2017

    The furore over the inauguration crowd feels almost quaint now, but when the White House claimed 720,000 people attended - and Trump himself went for 1.5 million - it did rather set the tone. Fact-checkers reckon the number was closer to 600,000, a third of Obama's 1.8 million-strong crowd in 2009.

    4. "They take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and they drop it on the hood of the car. And if the hood dents, then the car doesn't qualify... It's horrible, the way we're treated" - 14 March 2018

    This is apparently how Japanese firms use industry standard tests to block American companies from selling cars in their country and protect trade. Politifact reckon Trump has somehow misconstrued the pedestrian head protection performance test, which measures how much force a person's head would absorb in a collision - so, basically, the exact opposite of smashing the bonnet of a car up. You'll be surprised to learn the test also features precisely zero bowling balls.


    3. "You know, one of the things that people don’t understand — we have signed more legislation than anybody. We broke the record of Harry Truman" - 27 December 2017

    Afraid not. In his 336 days in office, which was where he was at when he made the claim, Trump ranked last of any post-war president for legislation passed. He'd hit 96 bills by 28 December, 13 behind George W Bush with the next fewest.

    2. "We've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany, you look what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this?" - 18 February 2017

    In an attempt to puff up his travel ban, Trump criticised Europe's refugee policies. Look at Sweden! Look at it! So everyone did, and Sweden turned round, slightly confusedly, and pointed out that the worst thing that had happened that day was an avalanche warning. Who would believe this, indeed.

    1. "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said 'it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer'" - 22 September 2017

    Besides usually couching any near-admission that Russia might have tried to swing the election alongside wild guesses about who else it could have been, Trump repeatedly called the idea of Russian interference a "hoax" and "a made-up story" and told Time magazine: "I don't believe they interfered". He also believes the butter-wouldn't-melt Vladimir Putin's word on the matter ("Every time he sees me, he says, ‘I didn't do that. And I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it."). So there.

    Trumps merely trying to save his orange face from further humilation, breaking one promise after another. Seems everyone less Trump and Trumpturds have known NORK never will give up de-nuclearization...

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...th-korea-says-the-cia/?utm_term=.888e21c9daf7

    There is no reason to believe North Korea intends to give up its nuclear weapons, we have argued repeatedly. We mused as to whether the CIA and other intelligence agencies have actually detected a change in North Korea’s strategic goals, and if not, why was the president gambling on a summit premised on complete denuclearization.


    The intelligence community has now let on that Pyongyang has no interest in denuclearization.


    A new U.S. intelligence assessment has concluded that North Korea does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons any time soon, three U.S. officials told NBC News — a finding that conflicts with recent statements by President Donald Trump that Pyongyang intends to do so in the future. . . .



    “Everybody knows they are not going to denuclearize,” said one intelligence official who read the report, which was circulated earlier this month, days before Trump canceled the originally scheduled summit.



    The good news is that Pyongyang may offer a hamburger franchise as a goodwill gesture. Seriously.

    One can't make this shit up- from Fox News.
    Something I'd expect from The Onion...

    Hey, it's Fox, it's got to be the truth, probably is too...

    Turns out Kim Jong Un might be as big of a fast food fan as Trump.

    According to a new U.S. intelligence assessment, while the North Korean leader is no longer willing to give up his nuclear weapons, he said he may open a “Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill,”


    This consolation prize of sorts is said to have possibly been suggested by Kim as a way to gain favor with the burger-loving president.

    In 2016 at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Trump said he’d invite Kim to the U.S. for a state dinner, but instead of doing something formal, the two would simply dine on the fast-food American staple.

    “We should be eating a hamburger on a conference table, and we should make better deals with China and others and forget the state dinners,” Trump said.

    POTUS’ love of burgers has been well documented in the past, from his reported go-to McDonald’s order of two Big Macs to his request for an American-beef burger during a lunch in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

    Most recently, Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, revealed the president has taken to ordering his burgers with only half a bun “in service to his health.”

    Yep, he's both inept clueless and crooked. Having Trumpet the Twitter troll , in the White House as potus is no different than asking a McDonald's burger flipper to do brain surgery...

    honestly who's not produced some bias along the way; and it's not even "RT" being called out...
    Even todays school kids are not exempt from: t/black lives matter deception/bullshit; including: Law Enforcement are all racists; brutal thugs mentalities; &/or- bs propagandaes...

    Tho', yep, it's grown out of control with t/media(s). Imo, news albeit Tv or readable content has stooped to an all time low, moreso now than ever in this I-Net generation. Creating a feeding frenzy of illiterates who rely on unsubstantiated illegitimate news for illegit peeps...Sad state of affairs; "it's so far the other way my country's gone"....

    Blame it on the Russian's, i.e. the (not so) silent war of Social Media influencing racial divisions....

    That's just to show how the Left manipulates the Fake News. Reporters are not out looking for hot stories in the times we live in, they are fed hit pieces by politicians and their friends. This is why I won't trust sources like the WSJ, behind the scenes they have an agenda and post stories that only fit that agenda. Same with CNN, ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC, anything Turner. Just a reminder because I see many links to those sites throughout this thread - you're literally ingesting what others want you to believe so they can control you when you watch that "news".

    Doesn't seem like the end is near to me - that just seems like My President.

    Compare that to how Joe Biden smells children like they're poppers. Please run in 2020 Joe.
