Trump Kanye Respect for the Oval Office

Republicans had a hissy fit about ‘respect for the Oval Office’ when Obama put his feet on the President’s desk.

Donald’s idea of acceptable respect for the Oval Office is Kanye pounding on the desk and saying mf and bs on national television.

Fox female reporters falsely accused Roger Ailes?

Fox female reporters falsely accused Roger Ailes?

They were obviously trying to bring down a ‘good man’.

They have no credibility.

The FBI found no corroborating evidence so he is ‘cleared’.

Same with Billo?

Sarcasm thingie goes here?

Who gets the tariff money collected? It is a tax with a different spelling.

Who gets the tariff money collected? It is a tax with a different spelling.

Whether it be the direct consumer or the company buying supplies, the tariffs wind up costing us more.

Who gets the money? The treasury? Special programs?

Does it pay for tax cuts for billionaires?

Why are they still in his administration?

"Asked for his opinion on the identity of the senior administration official who the Times says wrote the piece, Trump says, "I could think of four or five, mostly people that either I don't like or don't respect.""

Trump's green hat for his supporters Very appropriate.

Trump’s green hat for his supporters

Very appropriate.

As American farmers lose sales to China.

“Make our farmers great again. That’s what’s happening,” Trump said on Monday as he waved around a green hat bearing the campaign-esque slogan. (Incidentally, as many on Twitter have pointed out, in China a green hat is a symbol of a cuckhold, a screw-up that somehow feels so right for this administration.)

Are all natural born children American citizens?

Are all natural born children American citizens?

No… there is one exception.

Children of diplomats.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/birthright-citizenship-is-a-fundamental-constitutional-value/2018/07/20/49d7f9d2-8c46-11e8-8b20-60521f27434e_story.html?utm_term=.afecc93b0471&wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1

“The Supreme Court has long defined “subject to the jurisdiction” to carve out from the birthright citizenship guarantee only the children of diplomats who are immune from prosecution under U.S. laws. Meanwhile, if undocumented immigrants or their children commit a crime in the United States, they can be and are punished under U.S. law. In other words, they are - obviously! - subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. If born on American soil, they are also citizens of the United States.”

---------------------
Amendment 14
(Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.)

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Republicans propose using sales tax money for new tax cuts

Republicans propose using sales tax money for new tax cuts

June 29… JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A U.S. Supreme Court ruling making it easier to collect online sales taxes could yield billions of dollars for state and local governments — if they decide to keep it.

Rather than spend the windfall on schools, prisons or other government services, some Republican governors and lawmakers are proposing to give it away in the form of tax cuts.
----------------------

Dollars to croissants, it will go mostly to millionaires and billionaires again… who so desperately need it, again.

Trump is a baldfaced liar - opinion piece

Trump is a baldfaced liar

by Colbert I. King
22 June

In all my years, I have never seen anything quite like this: a U.S. president who lies and demonizes at the drop of a hat. I don’t just mean President Trump makes statements that tend to be inaccurate or misleading or that he exaggerates, equivocates and, at times, shades the truth.

No, this president repeatedly makes declarations that are flat-out at variance with established facts; assertions that on their face cannot be true.

Is Trump's EO almost the same as Obama's?

Is Trump’s EO almost the same as Obama’s?

Found this comment from a Trump sycphant:

“Here's something interesting: The Executive Order Trump signed today does nothing more than delete one sentence from an EO Obama issued in 2012.”

True/False?
