Trump says U.S. warship destroyed Iranian drone

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says a U.S. warship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

Trump says it’s the latest “hostile” action by Iran. He’s calling on other countries to condemn what he says are Iran’s attempts to disrupt the freedom of navigation and global commerce in the strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf region.

Trump says the USS Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the warship and ignored multiple calls to stand down.

The president says the drone threatened the safety of the American ship and its crew.

BTW Parscale tweeted that the other 12,000 were outside the venue, lining the streets, or
at the airport.

Trump is working to destroy America from the inside in order to pay off Putin

He is trying to stop scientists @ the USDA from looking @ Climate Change. Trump wants to
move all the scientists to someplace where they will have no lab space and can't do their
research.

Fuck you Paul Ryan and your Trump isn't a good person act.

You God Damn well knew that Trump was dirty w/Russian money in 2016 and
helped to keep it covered up. This modern day Hitler/con man/mentally ill/racist/
sexist/rapist/child rapist/Putin controlled/treasonous/criminal is now in the White
House in no small part thanx to you.

The New Yorker, "Paul Ryan Keeps It All in the Family" May 17, 2017

In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic “Worst Person in the World” award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called “Putin’s Favorite Congressman.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

Simple question: Did Trump attend a 1992 party* w/only Epstein and 28 underage girls @ Mar a Lag?

And if so how can any republican and or Fox News person still defend him?

* an alleged cocaine and sex party

NY Times:

The year was 1992 and the event was a “calendar girl” competition, something that George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who ran American Dream Enterprise, had organized at Mr. Trump’s request.

“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,” Mr. Houraney recalled in an interview on Monday. “At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him and Epstein.”

Mr. Houraney, who had just partnered with Mr. Trump to host events at his casinos, said he was surprised. “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s. You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”

(and after that party did Trump go on record and say that Jeff liked young women)

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Mr. Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
