Well, General Kelly apparently doesn’t have much of a poker face…
Of course. It didn’t match his pre-determined outcome - so it’s fake news.
The Trump administration commissioned a study from the Department of Health and Human Services “to provide a rationale for reducing the number of refugees allowed” into the country next year. But when HHS’s study ended up undercutting the regime’s nativism by revealing that refugees actually contribute tens of billions more dollars than they cost, the research was allegedly scrapped.
The internal study, which was completed in late July but never publicly released, found that refugees “contributed an estimated $269.1 billion in revenues to all levels of government” between 2005 and 2014 through the payment of federal, state and local taxes. “Overall, this report estimated that the net fiscal impact of refugees was positive over the 10-year period, at $63 billion.”
White House spokesperson Raj Shah claimed fake news, dismissing the study’s leak as one “delivered by someone with an ideological agenda, not someone looking at hard data.” That’s rich, coming from a White House that gave us “alternative facts” and can’t even be truthful about Donald Trump’s inauguration size or the fact that he lost the popular vote by three million.
“… administration officials defend this by saying the analysis was faulty because it took into account the contributions that refugees make by paying taxes — something they dismiss as politically motivated. …”
Can’t link to it, but other world leaders were straight up laughing at the loser when he paused for applause.
What did anyone expect???
To be greeted as liberators.
I wonder how DJT would react if someone sat him down and showed him a video of world leaders laughing at him. He’d probably threaten to destroy them with nuclear weapons.
Seen “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” yet?
I’d rather trust Baby Groot with the Football and the codes.
Jeez, don’t you libtards even know Asmodeusetelian logic?
- Taxes is evil.
- Refugees pays teh taxes
- Therefour refugees is teh evil.
The RNC is footing the bill for Trump’s legal costs in conjunction with the Russia investigation. Cool. I hope they spend all of their money on his legal costs and then have trouble recouping it for the campaign from donors who decide they might need to cut their losses.
Well, that’s really a shockeroo! I certainly didn’t see THAT coming.
It’s just straight up evil. And everyone should have known before voting. I don’t know if it’ll ever really come to grips with the fact that we voted this guy in.
Stealing this.
Was that in response to the part about some countries going to hell? Because that’s the part where I facepalmed sitting in my car in my driveway. The ‘loser terrorists’ had be snorting coffee out my nose and I think my jaw dropped when he talked about destroying North Korea. All in all, I couldn’t decide whether to be mad, disgusted, or utterly embarrassed. I couldn’t even drink seeing as how I had to go work a couple hours later.
Melania’s not looking overly impressed in those pics, either.
If she doesn’t file for divorce the second he’s out of office, I’ll be shocked. (Honestly, if he actually finishes his term, I’ll have some respect for her having the fortitude to stick it out that long.)
You know, the single instant of a photograph can be very deceptive. When i listen to speeches, i sometimes rest my head on my hand like Kelly is doing there. If you took a photo of me, it might look like i was face-palming.
For me to believe that Kelly was actually face-palming in dismay here, i would need to see it in video, along with synchronous audio of Trump’s speech. I know it might feed the Twitterverse’s love of controversy, but i’ll need more evidence before i believe that this one image really shows what so many people are claiming.
You know somebody thought of that, right?
Here’s the timestamp. No luck on the video though.
EDIT: Sniped by…half an hour. Yeah refresh your tabs kids.
Yeah, but for me, yours takes me to a discussion, whereas Mighty_Girl’s link takes me to a blank page.*
- I fully expect this means there’s something weird with my setup.
So Trump is coming to my neck of the woods (Trump visit to Huntsville gets date change, rally will be at Von Braun Center - al.com) to campaign for “Big” Luther Strange to permanently replace Jeff Sessions.
Trouble is (1) Strange is trailing (albeit closely) ‘Judge’ Roy Moore and (2) Moore is being backed strongly by the departed Mr. Bannon and Breitbart. (Bannon orders Breitbart to step up negative coverage of Trump-backed Alabama Senate candidate)
So Trump may be risking being branded a ‘loser’, if Strange is beaten by Moore. And losing to Bannon too.
Could make for an interesting couple of hours down here in Ali-bama…
… and the forty thieves.
