... thug, Mohammed bin Salman all in 1 week? Neither do I.
Trump, Them damn "Japs" w/their Sony TVs. Trump is giving a 1970s talking point.
Just when you think he can't go lower and or more racist Trump does just that.
“If Japan is attacked, we will fight World War III. We will go in and protect them with our lives and with our treasure,” Trump said during an interview on Fox Business Network with anchor Maria Bartiromo. “But if we are attacked, Japan doesn’t have to help us at all. They can watch on a Sony television, the attack."

thanx to Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin for posting
BTW most of Sony TVs are not made in Japan anymore.
Bravia televisions and their components are manufactured in Sony's plants in Mexico, Japan, and Slovakia for their respective regions and are also assembled from imported parts in Brazil, Spain, China, Malaysia and Ecuador.

People are trying to help the kids @ the border .... They're being turned away.
Bottom line Trump and company are being cruel on purpose because they are paying $775 per day
per child and still the kids aren't food, showers, soap, tooth paste, and blankets. I am overwhelmed
with shame and sadness @ this nightmare which is based in trying to call out to his racist base.

People want to donate diapers and toys to children at Border Patrol facilities in Texas. They’re being turned away.
On Sunday, Austin Savage and five of his friends huddled into an SUV and went to an El Paso Target, loading up on diapers, wipes, soaps and toys.

But when they arrived, they found that the lobby was closed. The few Border Patrol agents — Savage said there were between eight and 10 of them — moving in and out of a parking facility ignored them.
For a while, the group stood there dumbfounded about what to do next. Ultimately, they decided to pack up and head home. Savage said he wasn’t completely surprised by the rejection; before he left, the group spotted a discarded plastic bag near the lobby door holding toothpaste and soap that had a note attached to it: “I heard y’all need soap + toothpaste for kids.”

“These kids are being underserved, and they’re not getting what they need,” Canales said. “We discussed diapers, hygiene products, and I pressed upon him that from a PR perspective that it looks terrible we’re not meeting their needs and they’re not accepting donations from the public.
from the comment section ... not only are they being cruel but the grifting is big time too
US taxpayers are paying $775.00 per child per night to private companies to care for these poor, neglected and abused children.

Democratic lawmaker (John Yarmuth) calls Trump a 'moron' for his handling of Iran
Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) on Monday denounced President Trump as a "moron" over his handling of issues with Iran, saying that he should have considered the specifics of the Obama-era nuclear deal before withdrawing the U.S. from it.
Yarmuth made the comments just hours after Trump stated that the United States's ultimate goal was to never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.
"Hey moron: the third line of the Iran Nuclear Deal guaranteed just that," Yarmuth tweeted, accompanying his post with the preamble and general provisions of the agreement.

Trump claims he's never met his rape accuser; this photo says different
Regarding the “story” by E. Jean Carroll, claiming she once encountered me at Bergdorf Goodman 23 years ago. I’ve never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book—that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.
Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda—like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It’s just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence. Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news—it’s an epidemic.
Ms. Carroll & New York Magazine: No pictures? No surveillance? No video? No reports? No sales attendants around?? I would like to thank Bergdorf Goodman for confirming they have no video footage of any such incident, because it never happened.
False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.
If anyone has information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms. Carroll or New York Magazine, please notify us as soon as possible. The world should know what’s really going on. It is a disgrace and people should pay dearly for such false accusations.

*******
So how many rape/sexual assault/acting like a perv allegations against Trump now?
gotta be over 20
Longest day of the year.
Ok 2nd longest. So what are you gonna do?
Me I am watching my lab puppy chew on sticks, listening to the nighthawks, and having a Stormy Daniels .
.. o.j., dark rum, Jack Daniel's, ginger beer, grenadine, and squeeze of lime over ice.
Trump, "We were cocked and loaded."
I had to double check if what I was seeing was right but it was. COCKED AND LOADED.
When does this crazy train stop?
So what part of this Trump v Iran mess do I have wrong?
1) Trump pulls out of a deal with Iran and 5 other countries that says Iran will never build a nuclear weapon, the deal
takes away anyway for Iran to make bomb grade nuclear material, and the deal gives the IAEA (International Atomic
Energy Agency [I think that is it]) the right to inspect anywhere in Iran 24/7.
2) Much of the deal was written by Ernie Moniz who has a B.S. in Physics from Boston College, a PhD in Physics from
Stanford, taught physics @ M.I.T. including nuclear physics, was chairman of the physics dept. @ M.I.T., and has 30+
years in nuclear non proliferation work. All of which made him the best in the world or one of the best in the world
to craft such an agreement to keep Iran from ever making a nuclear weapon.
3) After breaking the agreement w/Iran Trump then demands that Iran live up to that very same agreement and starts
to threaten Iran w/military action.
4) The US military flies a drone in order to spy on Iran's military over or near the border of Iran so if America should
launch an attack on Iran we would know where to strike.
5) Iran shoots down the drone and now Trump is looking to start a war?
*************
This is just insane.
