Donald Trump Jr walks out of Triggered book launch after heckling – from supporters news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-jr-walks-triggered-032929868.htmlor this KYIV, Ukraine (AP) -- Two political supporters of U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry secured a potentially lucrative oil and gas exploration deal from the Ukrainian government soon after Perry proposed one of the men as an adviser to the country's new president. Perry's efforts to influence Ukraine's energy policy came earlier this year, just as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's new government was seeking military aid from the United States to defend against Russian aggression, and allies of President Donald Trump were ramping up efforts to get the Ukrainians to investigate his Democratic rival Joe Biden. Ukraine awarded the contract to Perry's supporters little more than a month after the U.S. energy secretary attended Zelenskiy's May inauguration. During that trip, Perry handed the new president a list of people he recommended as energy advisers, including his longtime political backer Michael Bleyzer. finance.yahoo.com/news/push-perry-backers-got-huge-100133901.htmllol Wow. And yet Trump and his cultists - when hearing about this - don't see ANYTHING at ALL wrong with this. Their response will be "See? Just shows how corrupt Biden and his son are!!!" The hypocrisy is so insane now that I really can't find any words. As I said in an earlier post somewhere, I've reached a point where I need a harsher word than "fuck."

Gotta say the Trump enablers are just as disgusting and morally bankrupt as the reprehensible POS himself.

Gotta agree with you. Dreading Thanksgiving Day next week, when I get to endure 9 or 10 solid hours of relations/friends of the family - Republicans all - talking at length about how great Trump is, how evil Democrats are, and all the wonderful things Trump has done for our great nation. I keep my eating to a minimum so I can keep it down.

Although from the sounds of things you might be better off continuing to think it's next week so you can show up/host it when no one else is there. Don't worry though as you're not alone. My wife originally booked three days off from work next week thinking Thanksgiving was then. It wasn't until 3 weeks ago that she realized those were the wrong days.

“I think even his most ardent supporters have to honestly admit this was the wrong thing for the president to do,” Pelosi said during a CBS “Face the Nation” interview, which was taped on Friday.
She continued: “He should not frivolously throw out insults. But that’s what he does. I think part of it is his own insecurity as an impostor. I think he knows full well that he’s in that office way over his head, and so he has to diminish everyone else.”

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Monday it was not interested in meaningless talks with the United States just so President Donald Trump had something to boast about, urging an end to what it called a policy of hostility if the United States wanted dialogue. The comment by senior North Korean official Kim Kye Gwan, who is a former vice foreign minister, came after Trump on the weekend called on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to "act quickly" and hinted at another meeting. Kim, in a statement carried by the state KCNA news agency, said he had seen the Nov. 17 Twitter post by Trump signalling another summit but added that little had improved despite three meetings between the two leaders since June last year. "We are no longer interested in such talks that bring nothing to us," he said. "As we have got nothing in return, we will no longer gift the U.S. president with something he can boast of, but get compensation for the successes that President Trump is proud of as his administrative achievements," Kim said. news.yahoo.com/north-korea-says-no-more-101752191.html

Bombshell anonymous book claims White House officials considered encouraging Trump to fire Robert Mueller, hoping it would force the president to resign
However, according to a January 2018 story in The New York Times Trump in 2017 ordered then White House counsel, Don McGahn, to fire Mueller, only backing down when the attorney threatened to resign over the order. In a New York Times op-ed last year, the author claimed that senior administration staff were battling to contain the president's worst impulses. The book contains a series of shocking claims, alleging that Trump's early morning tweets would spark chaos in the White House, comparing the situation to being "like showing up at the nursing home at daybreak to find your elderly uncle running pantsless across the courtyard." It also includes claims that administration officials considered resigning en masse, and that Trump put on a Hispanic accent to mock migrants from Latin America attempting to get into the US. news.yahoo.com/bombshell-anonymous-book-claims-white-140800072.html

Soooo much winning! Hey, Trump-cultists: if you're going to throw away all pretense of independent thought, self-respect, and dignity by worshipping a human being instead of God (or in place of God), THIS disgusting, stupid, thuggish toddler of a moron is your idea of someone worthy of worship?? REALLY?? You honestly can't pick someone any better than this? Really?? THIS is your idea of greatness??
45% of Americans are fucking morons.

No, That Mac Factory in Texas Is Not New
After Trump departed the factory, he tweeted, “Today I opened a major Apple Manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America.” Apple officials didn’t respond to a request for comment. The plant Trump toured is owned by Flex, a company that has made Apple’s top-of-the-line Mac Pro computers there since 2013. news.yahoo.com/no-mac-factory-texas-not-131158967.html

Trump says he alone stopped massive Chinese crackdown on Hong Kong protests
WASHINGTON, Nov 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he alone was preventing China from crushing protesters in Hong Kong with a million soldiers, as he defended his attempts to strike a trade deal with Beijing amid fears of a Chinese crack down on the demonstrations. In one of his most bombastic statements yet over relations with China, Trump said in a television interview he had told Chinese President Xi Jinping that clamping down on the Hong Kong protesters would have "a tremendous negative impact" on efforts to reach an accord to end a 16-month trade war between the United States and China. "If it weren’t for me Hong Kong would have been obliterated in 14 minutes," Trump told Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends." news.yahoo.com/1-trump-says-alone-stopped-173827976.html
