    Smh, even if Assange has nothing to do with Russian intelligence, he's still no friend to the USA.

    So they're devising a plan to cut foreign aid to countries who's citizens are coming to the US. Cutting money from struggling countries to punish people for wanting to come to the US. They want to make things potentially worse for people because they want a better life.

    There has to be at least 1 working brain cell within the White House offices, right?

    Like withholding water from a burning house until all its residents go back inside.

    I'd ask this question of trump, but as a compulsive, pathological liar, he wouldn't care...



    And of course, trump is only responding to Comey's tweet from earlier this week...

    trump continues to lie... this time to the Naval Academy.



    Did Donald Trump sign the first military pay raise in 10 years?

    Wow... this guy details how many lies trump said in his speech to the Naval Academy... in just a two minute clip:

    Error #1: The $700B defense budget for FY18 is not the largest ever. It was larger under the Obama administration: $710B in FY11 and $714B in FY10. And that's without adjusting for inflation!

    Error #2: The number of ships in the Navy today is not the smallest since the end of WWI. We have 283 ships today, and in 2007 (Bush administration) we had 279.

    Error #3: The Navy will not get to 355 ships "very soon." The Navy's 30-year plan says it will not get to that level until after 2050, but it could possibly be accelerated to the 2030s. Either way, it's not very soon.

    Error #4: Getting to 355 ships is not an increase of "a couple of hundred" ships. Here's the math: 355 - 283 = 72

    Error #5: The 355-ship fleet has not yet been "approved." The ships have not all been authorized yet, and Congress appropriates the money one year at a time.

    Error #6: This year's military pay raise is not the first in ten years. There were pay raises in each of the past ten years, & some were higher than this year's raise.
    FY09: 3.9%
    FY10: 3.4%
    FY11: 1.4%
    FY12: 1.6%
    FY13: 1.7%
    FY14: 1.0%
    FY15: 1.0%
    FY16: 1.3%
    FY17: 2.1%
    FY18: 2.4%

    Yeah, it's strange to go and blatantly lie to the people serving in the military. There's probably a significant percentage of those he was speaking to who won't question his words. That's a real shame.

    The spying is real. Is Trump involved?



    If so, and I think it’s likely...

    as usual, trump does exactly what he claims others do.

    As I said before, congress should be involved to investigate this. US president spying on us citizens is extreme abuse of power, whether that’s using US or foreign entity. But because it’s trump...
