Steve Cortes is off his rocker. Gotta love how they spew forth their BS, smiling all the while. Calling central and South American countries, “basket cases.”
Yup, there was no collusion and Team Trump Treason has nothing to hide nor did anything wrong. Do we really have to wait for Team Mueller’s investigation to conclude?
Serious question, how many things "could" land him in hot water the last 16 months. If nothing happens now nobody will remember it enough for it to matter that already supports him. If I keep telling my kids something could get them in trouble, but then over a day passes, they forget about it and move on. Why do we expect anyone to think this means anything at this point? I'll gladly take whatever Mueller is going to serve up, but it's not happening any time soon.
Team Mueller is preparing criminal charges to be brought before a grand jury and, if indictments are handed down, try Team Trump Treason in a court of law and or via impeachment proceedings. These things take time and are no way near the same as making allegations in the court of public opinion of on Page 6 of the NY Post. Patience is a virtue. But I can see how some get bored with connecting dots.
I might need to change the name I’ve attached to this president but I need your input , I really like “ useful idiot “ better than Orange bafoon what you guys think .. Putin def likes useful idiot when talking about this president..
Was it always such an ordeal to drive over the U.S border from Canada or is it worse since he started this reign of terror?
It is worse - US Customs is definitely being more hard core since he entered office. It's an official mandate.
Why? What dod they do?
They are just searching more people/cars, asking more questions, checking people's phones and shit like that way more often, and just generally being bigger hard asses.
Do you guys generally come via large caravans full of thousands of people?
I get denied every time I say aboot. I just can't help it.

Here are 20 of the top promises President Trump made to his supporters — that he’s already broken
1. He told you he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him would pay more. You bought it. But his new tax law does the opposite. By 2027, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the richest 1 percent will have got 83 percent of the tax cut and the richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all Americans — 53 percent — will pay more in taxes. As Trump told his wealthy friends at Mar-a-Lago just days after the tax bill became law, “You all just got a lot richer.”
2. He promised to close “special interest loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors but unfair to American workers,” especially the notorious “carried interest” loophole for private-equity, hedge fund, and real estate partners. You bought it. But the new tax law keeps the “carried interest” loophole.
3. He told you he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “beautiful.” You bought it. But he didn’t repeal and he didn’t replace. (Just as well: His plan would have knocked at least 23 million Americans off health insurance, including many of you.) Instead, he’s doing what he can to cut it back and replace it with nothing. The new tax law will result in 13 million people losing health coverage, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
4. He told you he’d invest $1 trillion in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. You bought it. But after his giant tax cut for corporations and millionaires, there’s no money left for infrastructure.
5. He said he’d drain the Washington swamp. You bought it. But he’s brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses, and he’s filled departments and agencies with former lobbyists, lawyers and consultants who are crafting new policies for the same industries they recently worked for.
6. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. But he has created the most dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, and has already fired and replaced so many assistants (one of them hired and fired in a little more than a week) that people there barely know who’s in charge of what.
7. He told you he’d “bring down drug prices” by making deals with drug companies. You bought it. But now the White House says that promise is “inoperative.”
8. He told you he’d “stop foreign lobbyists from raising money for American elections.” You bought it. But foreign lobbyists are still raising money for American elections.
9. He told you “I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.” You bought it. But he and House Speaker Paul Ryan are already planning such cuts in order to deal with the ballooning deficit created, in part, by the new tax law for corporations and the rich.
10. He promised “six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.” You bought it. But the giant tax cut for corporations and the rich doesn’t leave any money for this.
11. He said that on Day One he’d label China a “currency manipulator.” You bought it. But then he met with China’s president Xi Jinping and declared “China is not a currency manipulator.” Ever since then, Trump has been cozying up to Xi.
12. He said he “won’t bomb Syria.” You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.
13. He said he’d build a “wall” across the southern border. You believed him. But chief of staff John Kelly says it is “unlikely that we will build a wall, a physical barrier, from sea to shining sea.”
14. He promised that the many women who accused him of sexual misconduct “will be sued after the election is over.” You bought it. He hasn’t sued them, presumably because he doesn’t want the truth to come out.
15. He said he would not be a president who took vacations, and he called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief.” You bought it. But since becoming President he has spent nearly 25 percent of his days at one of his golf properties for some portion of the day, according to Golf News Network, at a cost to taxpayers of over $77 million. That’s already more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama cost in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.
16. He said he’d force companies to keep jobs in America, and that there would be “consequences” for companies that shipped jobs abroad. You believed him. But despite their promises, Carrier, Ford, GM, and the rest have continued to ship jobs to Mexico and China. Carrier (a division of United Technologies) has moved ahead with plans to send 1,000 jobs at its Indiana plant to Mexico. Notwithstanding, the federal government has rewarded United Technologies with 15 new contracts since Trump’s inauguration. GE is sending jobs to Canada. IBM is sending them to Costa Rica, Egypt, Argentina, and Brazil. There have been no “consequences” for sending all these jobs overseas.
17. He promised to revive the struggling coal industry and “bring back thousands” of lost mining jobs. You bought it. But coal jobs continue to disappear. Since Trump’s victory, at least 6 plants that relied on coal have closed or announced they will close. Another 40 are projected to close during the president’s four-year term. Utilities continue to switch to natural gas instead of coal, and renewable energy is cheaper than ever.
18. He promised to protect steel workers. But according to the American Iron and Steel Institute, which tracks shipments, steel imports were 19.4 percent higher in the first 10 months of 2017 than in the same period last year. That import surge has hurt American steel workers, who were already struggling against a glut of cheap Chinese steel.
19. He said he’d make America safer. You believed him. But according to Mass Shooting Tracker, there have been 377 mass shootings so far in the Trump administration, including 58 people killed and hundreds injured at a concert in Las Vegas, and 26 churchgoers killed and 20 injured at a church in Texas. Trump refuses to consider any gun control legislation.
20. He said he’d release his taxes. “I’m under a routine audit and it’ll be released, and as soon as the audit is finished it will be released,“ he promised during the campaign. He hasn’t released his taxes.

none of his supporters give two shits about any of this. all they care about is their belief that hillary would have been worse.
I think it just seems worse. Kinda like you're walking the plank.
I came through it into Washington a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't have imagined it being much worse, without them actually getting violent.
I think crossing the border into the US has always been a pain in the ass. When I cross into Canada, I'm greeted in a friendly way, welcomed to the country, asked a couple of basic questions conversationally and I'm on my way. When I cross back into the US I get the third degree. Why did I go, what did I do, where am I going. Always stern. Like an interrogation. Never a welcome back. I'm a US citizen, but feel much more welcomed entering Canada than entering my own damned country. Power-trippin' customs and border agents.

I'm a little nervous that it's not about Hillary anymore. (If it's about Hillary, then maybe we can get back to electing serious people) It's about their team...winning (which is primarily reflecting in pissing off political opponents as opposed to actually winning). It's about their team A LOT more than it's about their country. Their biggest enemy is not Russia, North Korea, or even the immigrants they hate so much. It's American liberals. The question is, are there enough of them to take over? As Hillary fades away, I hope we find out that there are not.

"Delusional." Did Obama ever appear in a headline with the word, "delusion?" Brilliant headlines disappearing in all their brillancy because you know, unmasking and wires tapped and "there was no collusion," "there's nothing to hide," and "I don't know any Russians." Fucking A right delusional.

They asked me what date I was due back on duty in work, in Ireland. It was crazy. 1 hour and 45 minutes I was held there for. At one point I asked them for permission to ask them a question. They agreed, so I just said, "Have we done something wrong?" They lightened up a bit then.

based on all the hyper-partisan shit I see on social media, you are right. I think in large part it is just about winning for their party. hillary was just the excuse they used to convince themselves it was ok to vote for this trashbag. and the reason said trashbag keeps bringing her up, to remind them how much worse she was supposedly going to be.
More brilliant brilliance brilliantly on display folks. Remember, Team Trump Treason hires only the best people. Don’t forget, it’s all necessary to upend the ruling elites and all this chaos is brilliant four dimensional chess. Tired of winning yet?

I was just visiting my pops in Indiana, also happens to be in Rokita’s district. Outside of my hometown, which is relatively small, it’s hardcore trump country there. People are fully committed to all the conservative beliefs, combined with conservative Christianity. It’s one of the reasons I skeedattled west when I could.

Thank the lord!!!
But what am I going to do with all these AR15’s I bought??

I had the opposite experience. Although the Canadian officers were friendly, I got the third degree because I hadn't been to Canada in 30 years.
When I explained I was going to see one of Gord's last shows, I got confused looks from the agent and was asked to pull into the waiting area so they can run my passport...again.
It was like they had no idea who Gord was and what horrible situation was going on with his health. Did they know in two days about 40% of their country was going to unite to watch his bands final show live on national TV?
Upon my return to the States, the American agent (younger female) was like " cool, great band" and waved me right by.

Here are 20 of the top promises President Trump made to his supporters — that he’s already broken
1. He told you he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him would pay more. You bought it. But his new tax law does the opposite. By 2027, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the richest 1 percent will have got 83 percent of the tax cut and the richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all Americans — 53 percent — will pay more in taxes. As Trump told his wealthy friends at Mar-a-Lago just days after the tax bill became law, “You all just got a lot richer.”

4. He told you he’d invest $1 trillion in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. You bought it. But after his giant tax cut for corporations and millionaires, there’s no money left for infrastructure.
5. He said he’d drain the Washington swamp. You bought it. But he’s brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses, and he’s filled departments and agencies with former lobbyists, lawyers and consultants who are crafting new policies for the same industries they recently worked for.
6. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. But he has created the most dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, and has already fired and replaced so many assistants (one of them hired and fired in a little more than a week) that people there barely know who’s in charge of what.
7. He told you he’d “bring down drug prices” by making deals with drug companies. You bought it. But now the White House says that promise is “inoperative.”
8. He told you he’d “stop foreign lobbyists from raising money for American elections.” You bought it. But foreign lobbyists are still raising money for American elections.

12. He said he “won’t bomb Syria.” You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.
13. He said he’d build a “wall” across the southern border. You believed him. But chief of staff John Kelly says it is “unlikely that we will build a wall, a physical barrier, from sea to shining sea.”
14. He promised that the many women who accused him of sexual misconduct “will be sued after the election is over.” You bought it. He hasn’t sued them, presumably because he doesn’t want the truth to come out.
15. He said he would not be a president who took vacations, and he called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief.” You bought it. But since becoming President he has spent nearly 25 percent of his days at one of his golf properties for some portion of the day, according to Golf News Network, at a cost to taxpayers of over $77 million. That’s already more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama cost in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.
16. He said he’d force companies to keep jobs in America, and that there would be “consequences” for companies that shipped jobs abroad. You believed him. But despite their promises, Carrier, Ford, GM, and the rest have continued to ship jobs to Mexico and China. Carrier (a division of United Technologies) has moved ahead with plans to send 1,000 jobs at its Indiana plant to Mexico. Notwithstanding, the federal government has rewarded United Technologies with 15 new contracts since Trump’s inauguration. GE is sending jobs to Canada. IBM is sending them to Costa Rica, Egypt, Argentina, and Brazil. There have been no “consequences” for sending all these jobs overseas.
17. He promised to revive the struggling coal industry and “bring back thousands” of lost mining jobs. You bought it. But coal jobs continue to disappear. Since Trump’s victory, at least 6 plants that relied on coal have closed or announced they will close. Another 40 are projected to close during the president’s four-year term. Utilities continue to switch to natural gas instead of coal, and renewable energy is cheaper than ever.
18. He promised to protect steel workers. But according to the American Iron and Steel Institute, which tracks shipments, steel imports were 19.4 percent higher in the first 10 months of 2017 than in the same period last year. That import surge has hurt American steel workers, who were already struggling against a glut of cheap Chinese steel.
19. He said he’d make America safer. You believed him. But according to Mass Shooting Tracker, there have been 377 mass shootings so far in the Trump administration, including 58 people killed and hundreds injured at a concert in Las Vegas, and 26 churchgoers killed and 20 injured at a church in Texas. Trump refuses to consider any gun control legislation.
20. He said he’d release his taxes. “I’m under a routine audit and it’ll be released, and as soon as the audit is finished it will be released,“ he promised during the campaign. He hasn’t released his taxes.

Thank the lord!!!
But what am I going to do with all these AR15’s I bought??
I had the opposite experience. Although the Canadian officers were friendly, I got the third degree because I hadn't been to Canada in 30 years.
When I explained I was going to see one of Gord's last shows, I got confused looks from the agent and was asked to pull into the waiting area so they can run my passport...again.
It was like they had no idea who Gord was and what horrible situation was going on with his health. Did they know in two days about 40% of their country was going to unite to watch his bands final show live on national TV?
Upon my return to the States, the American agent (younger female) was like " cool, great band" and waved me right by.
