In a November 2016 editorial, The Atlantic warned that Donald Trump would be a threat to the republic — and a danger to democracy itself. In the course of making our case that he was unfit to command, we called him “a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar.”

That was an understatement, argues editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg.

You're still indifferent to the truth that Trump is a lying sack of shit. That indifference to truth doesn't serve you or anybody well who voted for Trump.

I'm indifferent to the fact that every politician who ever lived is a lying sack of shit.

What I'm laughing about here is that you're still using the basket of deplorable tactic that has worked out so well for you the last two years.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Last year, President Trump suggested a move tantamount to destroying NATO: the withdrawal of the United States.

Senior administration officials told The New York Times that several times over the course of 2018, Mr. Trump privately said he wanted to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Current and former officials who support the alliance said they feared Mr. Trump could return to his threat as allied military spending continued to lag behind the goals the president had set.

In the days around a tumultuous NATO summit meeting last summer, they said, Mr. Trump told his top national security officials that he did not see the point of the military alliance, which he presented as a drain on the United States.

At the time, Mr. Trump’s national security team, including Jim Mattis, then the defense secretary, and John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, scrambled to keep American strategy on track without mention of a withdrawal that would drastically reduce Washington’s influence in Europe and could embolden Russia for decades.

Now, the president’s repeatedly stated desire to withdraw from NATO is raising new worries among national security officials amid growing concern about Mr. Trump’s efforts to keep his meetings with Mr. Putin secret from even his own aides, and an F.B.I. investigation into the administration’s Russia ties.

There are few things that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia desires more than the weakening of NATO, the military alliance among the United States, Europe and Canada that has deterred Soviet and Russian aggression for 70 years.

Russian oligarch, allies retain key ownership in company after sanctions lifted: report
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/426323-russian-oliga
rch-allies-retain-key-ownership-in-company-after


From Wikipedia:

Deripaska is also known for his connection to American political consultant Paul Manafort, who has been convicted on charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failure to report foreign bank accounts, which stemmed from Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Deripaska employed Manafort from at least 2005 to 2009

I'm starting to get REALLY FAT from all these "nothing burgers."

Or is it "berders?"

Republicans voted to pay Russian oligarchs instead of the 800,000 federal employees that are about to miss an entire month's worth of income. Vote these guys out.

Welp, that didn't take long. You voted republican and look what you did. It was called the clean water act. You voted for those who said they would undo it, as well as the clean air act and other regulations.

Search your souls and find out why you drank the cool aid and believed liberals and those in the center weren't telling the truth when they warned of this. Why you chose to believe the republicans and supporters of big business were truthful when they told you it wouldn't happen so we didn't need these regulations.

This is what happens to those who believe it won't happen here and don't care about it happening elsewhere. Remember Flint? Your children are dying. And by the way so are you. The choices we make matter...

Now, who do you expect to pay for the clean up?
