President Trump

I don't even like weed. But this is idiotic.

 

More than anything, it's idiotic that there's a Federal law against weed. That's the real problem that needs correcting. Kick that to the states for them to decide.

 

Outstanding speech tonight. Dare I say, "presidential."

But this moment stole the show.


I may or may not have teared up.

 

This is insane. More defense spending? WTF?????

 

Yeah, I don't agree with that. And a 37% cut to State Dept budget.

 

He'll unleash his Twitter on someone tomorrow to answer your question.

 

I was calling for a reduction in government spending, maybe especially in the military, so... needless to say I didn't like hearing that.

I thought the call for a trillion dollars on infrastructure interesting but had me thinking... where's this trillion coming from?

 

"Disgraced Trump adviser Mike Flynn admits he worked as a “foreign agent” for the Turkish government

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired in February after lying about his contacts with the Russian government, has formally registered with the Justice Department as a “foreign agent” and admitted that he had lobbied on behalf of the Turkish government as recently as November 2016.
As the Associated Press reports, Flynn’s lawyer filed paperwork with the Justice Department Tuesday disclosing that the retired Army general had done lobbying work between August and November 2016 that “could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey.” According to the filing, Flynn’s company, Flynn Intel Group Inc., was paid at least $530,000 for the work.
Flynn’s contract ended on November 15, just three days before Trump appointed him national security adviser.
Still, the disclosure that Trump’s top campaign adviser on all issues of national security and foreign policy was receiving money to lobby on behalf of a foreign power all the way through Election Day isanother black eye for Flynn, who has the rare distinction of having been fired by two US presidents (Barack Obama ousted him because of his mismanagement of the Defense Intelligence Agency). The FBI is also continuing to probe Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the aftermath of the election...."

Anyone who's followed politics for more than 5 minutes knows both sides feign outrage when the other side does something and ignores it when they do it.

Case in point: The Left has gone bonkers over Ben Carson saying slaves were immigrants, but conveniently ignoring it when Obama said the exact same thing. The Right is glowing over the recent unemployment rates, but ignoring the out of the workforce numbers. Goes both ways. Always has. Always will.

 

Selective outrage.



No one complained when Obama said it.
