How long until the u-turn on cutting overseas aid arrives? Just after the mid-west farmers pay some lobbyists to alert The Donald to the fact a big chunk of US agriculture makes a nice living growing stuff and being paid for it by USAID, who then deliver it to africa where it gets stolen by warlords and resold to poor people. God bless America.

That, right there, is the measure of the man. If it's good, it's me. If it's not, it's someone else's fault.
Indeed it is. But it's got him this far. It will easily get him through the next 8 years.

Reminds me of some managers who keep getting promoted by continuously bull stting and rarely get found out.

I don't see why not. During the election he lied continuously and his supporters were happy to believe him. Since he became president he's continued lying and his supporters continue to believe him. Anybody who dares question this is MSM/Fake News/Liberal Elite/meaningless cliche.

Why should this change?

The question is has he gained any supporters. Difficult to say but hard to imagine how.

But the opposition certainly have I would say. Democrats are going to be voting in record numbers next time methinks......

And for anyone still wondering, his tax returns wont be coming...

“The American people have the right to know whether or not their president is operating under conflicts of interest related to international affairs, tax reform, government contracts or otherwise,” Pascrell said.
Republicans in the House disagreed, virtually unanimously. Nearly every Republican voted to kill Pascrell’s resolution and keep Trump’s tax returns secret. No Republicans voted to require Trump to hand over his tax returns. (Two Republicans, including Mark Sanford of South Carolina, voted “present.”)
185 Democrats voted in favor of Pascrell’s efforts.

Ever see a football team demand their top player is sent off for a bad bad foul? They will play the "didn't see it", "he took a dive" etc. etc.

Same here and no surprise.

He's addressing Congress tonight. It will be interesting as to whether his speech gets away from his current fixations - i.e. how rotten the media is and how messed up the country is.

Is he going to be positive?
Is he going to get a good reception?

In what way "effective"?

What is he achieving?

What is he TRYING to achieve?

Is it an appropriate topic to discuss when speaking to Congress?

Let's make some alternative facts:

Let's start here: http://www.worldtribune.com/unreported-1500-pedoph...

So 1500 paedophiles have been arrested since Trump took office. That's news - genuinely shocking, right? And the MSM hasn't reported this amazing achievement. That's news, too. (No doubt, because they're part of the pizzagate cover-up, etc, etc.) This website is full of 5oh's favourite sorts of stories. All of them with 'click here to like on Facebook' buttons. Very important that bit.

But the story originated here: https://townhall.com/columnists/lizcrokin/2017/02/...

First, the numbers cited don't add up to 1500; just 871. Hmmm...

Now, drill down into the biggest number: 474 arrested in LA alone. That's still a huge number of paedophiles, right? Perhaps LA is riddled with libtard abusers?

Except this most definitely WAS reported by the MSM: KTLA, ABC, LA Times, etc. OKay, but let's not loose site of Trump's fantastic results here: there were still 474 paedophiles arrested in LA alone.

But when you get to the actual numbers from the Sherrif's report, there are:
  • 142 males arrested on solicitation charges
  • 36 males arrested on suspicion of pimping
  • 28 commercially and sexually exploited children rescued
  • 27 adult victims rescued.
So... somehow the male sex-related arrests were... 178, with no number given for those targeting specifically children. And somehow we're missing 296 arrests of paedophiles in LA!

The explanation, of course, is that the 474 total arrests were for all sorts of misdemeanours and crimes detected in a huge anti-prostitution operation. Unpaid fines, skipping bail, etc.

So, 1500? Nope. Perhaps, if you squint a bit and the light's right, you might make a case from these figures that a maximum of around 220 paedophiles were arrested.

So, MSM ignored all of this. Nope. They reported the individual and local news stories.

So, the alternative fact - 1500 paedophiles arrested - was concocted by a Trump/Bannon mouthpiece, Liz Crokin (a big Trump fan, makes 5oh look like a snowflake.)

And the reason why all of this matters hugely for Trump: that little Facebook like button. The idea is that people who fall for these stories, whose buttons are so easily pressed, like these stories, and share them. So that they get targeted by Cambridge Analytics with personalised political ads in the future.

For a more full write-up on that read here: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/26/r... (and then quit Facebook)

Trump has just said on Fox & Friends that the leaks are Obama's fault and he is to blame for the protests.

I thought Obama was off water-skiing and generally relaxing, who know he was also building a resistance army as well smile

Wait till the death star is built with the 50 billion, then the rebel scum had better watch out.
