- So we no longer log who visits the White House.
- Phone calls with foreign leaders no longer produce readouts for the public.
- Instead of posting a factual record of the event, The White House altered the official transcript and video of the press conference with Putin (as did the Kremlin.) Apparently for political purposes.

Too good to check.

GREAT NEWS...
Facebook's earnings disaster has it on pace to lose $115 billion in market value — which would be the biggest wipeout in stock-market history (FB)

• Facebook's stock is taking a beating after a disappointing second-quarter earnings report that saw the company miss revenue expectations and warn of slowing growth ahead.
• Shares were trading 18% lower on Thursday, putting them on pace to wipe out $115 billion in market value. That would be the biggest single-day drop in stock-market history.

Why are these not being proudly made in the USA?

Most likely because apparently the Chinese manufacturer only charges $1 per flag to produce. You should call around and try to find a U.S. producer that will make the flags that inexpensively. Let me know when you do and I'll pass the info on. In the meantime, thanks for bringing this to my attention, so I can get one on eBay direct from the manufacturer!

Here is the article your photo came from:

You can buy a flag here for $6.69!:

Normal version: When Paul Ryan leaves government, the federal deficit will be $1.2 trillion higher than when he arrived
MAGA version: the economy is going strong buddy.

Opinion: EU solidarity successful against Donald Trump
The US president will try to sell the interim agreement with the EU as his own exclusive success. But in reality the "deal" is a victory for the unity and the steadfastness of the EU, says DW's Carsten von Nahmen.

GDP will be 5% in fourth quarter. #winning.

Liberals before 2016: Healthcare and tampons are human rights, deficits don't matter!

Liberals after 2016: OMG, deficits!!

Good luck weaning the federal gov from trillion dollar budgets, no matter who's in charge.

Synopsis: Trump got what he wanted, the EU made some concessions and got what they wanted. Both sides declare victory.

If we're working towards eliminating subsides and trade barriers its a win.

Who cares, believe what you want.

Well, you care. You literally made 2 posts with graphs and everything. Actually, just repeating what I already posted. And it's not a matter of believing what I want, it's a matter of fact. Trump and his supporters have been very loose with that. The DOW, did not have a new high at 25,414, when it was over 26,000 a few times in January. It's actually below those highs now. There is no debate on which number is greater, 26,000+ or 25,414.

Disclaimer: I copy and pasted a headline.

Yes, what I quoted, what I put in bold and the only thing I was talking about. We went thru this earlier in the thread. About you getting information from Fake News sites and just copying and pasting it. I said do you own research. And before you hit post, read it, then read it again. Failed on all levels. I don't want to have to keep explaining Stock Market, DOW, Nasdaq etc.

--------------------------
About stuff being made here. I could have sworn Trump mentioning he makes things overseas and that if we dropped the taxes, he would bring it back. He hasn't.
-------------------------
Mueller now looking at Trump tweets for obstruction. I imagine some I'm just defending myself tweets from Trump. His tweets show some clear obstruction.
--------------------------
Goes to Twitter to see what new fuckery Trump is posting about, never lets me down:

Twitter “SHADOW BANNING” prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints.
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 5h5 hours ago

Usually, when he gets depressed, he has a rally:

"Heading to Dubuque, Iowa and then Granite City, Illinois. Looking forward to being with many great friends!"

Then right after that, he looks for a soft place to fall. A lap he can lay his head on and somebody tell him, shh, it'll be ok, I'm here with you, aka a trip to Hannity right after the make me feel better rally.

So Ivanka’s fashion business is shutting down. One upside to that: Americans won’t be the ones losing those jobs...

Well duh - thanks so much for that useful information, Mr, Wizard. Of course I know where I grabbed the photo from. What’s your point?

But we don’t want Chinese selling cheap aluminum and steel to the US so we slap tariffs on them because it harms American interests...

Talk about struggle reader. Just went over all that previous page.

GILSAN doesn't seem to read, he appears to just watch Fox News and parrot it verbatim, you know, like his cult leader.

The United States will impose large sanctions on Turkey for their long time detainment of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a great Christian, family man and wonderful human being. He is suffering greatly. This innocent man of faith should be released immediately!

That dude has been living over there for...........23 years, wanted to be a Turkish permanent resident:

"Brunson, 50, who was applying for Turkish permanent residency, having lived there 23 years"

I copied a headline that was misleading.

That's one for me and about 12 dozen fake stories about Trump for you, including "Trump edited video of Helsinki meeting" and insisting "the stock market is down" because the DJIA dipped a few points while the S&P and NASDAQ were both up.

Well, you care. You literally made 2 posts with graphs and everything. Actually, just repeating what I already posted. And it's not a matter of believing what I want, it's a matter of fact.
